The funniest PPL I’ve ever seen wasn’t even in a kdrama bit in 1993 French movie hit Les visiteurs: the posh FL suddenly stops as she runs up the main marble staircase of a chateau-turned-hotel and whips out her Visa card. Cue exaggerated close-up of the front of the card and the logo, with blurry zooming in and out effect. Not to hide the details or for artistic reasons but just because the camera can’t manage to focus! When I saw it the first time, my jaw dropped. Back then, I didn’t even know what product placement was—but I still recognized it as soon as I saw it (I guess in that it’s like pornography haha!). They couldn’t have done it more badly if they tried! I’m sure you can find it online, it’s infamous!

Didn’t find it with English subs (I admit I didn’t put much effort into it though, since it’s not really important in this case), but you’ll find it here, at 1:25: https://youtu.be/AIPnYbvC5D4
