In the 20th episode of last year’s biggest drama sensation, “My Love from the Stars,” Chun Song Yi (Jun Ji Hyun) moved Do Min Joon (Kim Soo Hyun) to tears by giving him a USB flash dive with a sweet proposal video. Inspired by this touching scene, we have picked out cute flash drives that you can customize and give to your loved ones. You can film a video message, put together a personalized photo slideshow, or create a playlist of your friend’s favorite OST songs, for example.

After Jang Geun Suk’s character performed surgery on two plush toys to create the famous Pig Rabbit for Park Shin Hye, the show’s producers were flooded by inquiries about the toy from fans of “You’re Beautiful.” Everyone wanted to get their hands on their own Pig Rabbit, and it is still the perfect soft and cuddly gift to give your friend or loved one.

radish doll

There’s no way we can leave out the Radish Doll from “Rooftop Prince,” which Lee Gak (Park Yoo Chun) won at an amusement park and gave to his crush Park Ha (Han Ji Min). While it’s called the Radish Doll, it looks more like a cross between a radish and a baby seal!

If you kept up with the hugely popular “The Heirs,” then you probably remember this adorable owl that Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho) gave to Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye). It also doubles as a hand warmer!

5. A sweet expression of love

We just couldn’t leave it out – in Korea, girls give chocolate to their crushes on Valentine’s Day (February 14), and guys repay the gesture by giving girls candy on White Day (March 14). Instead of opting for fancy store-bought chocolate, take your gift to the next level by making the sweet creations yourself.

Yoon Jin Yi (Yoon So Hee) confessed her feelings to Goo Dae Young (Yoon Doo Joon) with her cute homemade chocolate in “Let’s Eat.
