10 dramas/movies with ____? #4

10. The Novelist - the novelist with his ex-bf from Mood Indigo

The next person can choose

10 movies/dramas where the music, lighting and effects all pointed to something that doesn't end up happening, in a good /fun/light hearted/relieving way. Apologies, I'm not sure how to word it so here is an example. I remember a drama where everything was getting intense (music, darker lighting, camera angles), anticipating an intruder then it all turned light when it turned out to be a friend or cat or something. It was a fun, device, not a fizzler or annoying, just a good use of cinematics to an unexpected outcome.

I shall leave this to you to interpret, so with your title, remembering spoiler tags if needed, please give a brief description.

1. Mentalese Express - there are a lot of things about to happened but it didn't happen. For example,when ML's phone fell in front of FL and FL imagining how she picked it up and then they will change contact but ML picked it up immediately because he secretly took a picture of FL at that point.

2. Initiation Love - let's say the last scene: the skinny ML rushed into his ex-gf thinking she's waiting for him in front of the hotel because he felt he didn't clearly break-up with her but then he got hit by the fat ML then FL hugged the fat ML who happened to have the same nickname (and family name) as the skinny ML. Apparently she's dating both and no she's not waiting for the skinny one. Not sure if I understand the question right though.

3. My secret Terrius - One of the minor villains who worked for the bad guys was faceless to the audience since she appeared - all we knew was that she was a woman, pretty, wears red heels. Whenever she appeared, the audience would only see her red heels. Then suddenly, when one of the beloved side characters (whose wife we have not seen and hasn't been mentioned) reaches home, there is a huge camera zoom into red heels and suspenseful music, making it seem like his wife is the minor villain.

We soon find out it's not her and wasn't slightly related either. Then at the end we get to know that she just likes heels lol. For those who've watched, I'm talking about V and Sangryeol's wife.

It isn't about the imaginings of a character, it is more that the audience is lead to believe something is imminent, possibly scary but doesn't turn out that way. It is like when you hear a noise at night in the kitchen so you go look, almost scared stiff, and it turns out the cat just knocked something off the table. I do like Jung in-sun fan's interpretation. Again not what I had in mind but I also like that kind of false lead as well so,..

Apologies, if my darling, wonderful (please read with great sarcasm) brain would remember the scene in my head or had a better way with words, I could make the topic a little clearer and easier to understand.

That said, let's keep 1&2 as sometimes the imaginings of characters are not always explained at first so the audience is often stirred up thinking it is real, which, while not what I had in mind, is also pretty cool when done well.
