30-Jan: Most unexpected twist on a trope?
Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale is such a farce that nothing is sacred and they turn a lot of tropes into gags.
The typical catch & grab is reversed - which is becoming more common, but still turns out really unexpected, when the result is everything but love & tenderness.
Another is when a couple each gets one earbud to listen to the same thing. The music starts out lovely, but then something unexpected starts playing accidentally.
They did a fine job with turning tropes on their head.

31Jan: Most memorable grandparent character?
The actress Kim Hae Sook was in several dramas I saw in the last year:
Mr. Plankton
Gyeongseong Creature
Marriage, Not Dating
No Gain, No Love
My Demon
Alienoid
& she was fabulous as an actress in all, but the most memorable character she played was - Gil Joong Gan - in "Strong Girl Namsoon."
The drama itself left a lot to be desired, but Gil Joong Gan's story was the best story line. She was fabulous as she tried to find love again.
