This newest attraction on Haeundae Beach was a filming stage for the recently aired Korean drama, ‘Now, we are breaking up (지금, 헤어지는 중입니다),’ featuring Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong. I am quite sure the location will show up in many Korean TV shows and movies from now on. You can read more about X The Sky on my post here.

Jeonju Hyanggyo was an educational center during Joseon Dynasty and it is one of the most well-preserved historic sites in South Korea. Thanks to its originality and authentic atmosphere, many Korean dramas and Korean movies were filmed here including very recently aired ‘The King’s Affection (연모)‘ and ‘The Red Sleeve (옷소매 붉은 끝동).’ The list doesn’t end there. ‘Love In The Moonlight (구르미 그린 달빛)‘, ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal (성균관 스캔들)‘, ‘Princess Hours (궁)’, and ‘YMCA Baseball Team (YMCA 야구단)‘ are on the list as well. See more pictures of Jeonju Hyanggyo here on my other post.

The largest traditional hanok village in South Korea has been the stage for several Korean TV dramas and movies including ‘My Roommate is Gumiho (간 떨어지는 동거).’
