Location: Dongsan Library, Keimyung University (Seongseo Campus) (1095 Dalgubeoldaero, Dalseo-Gu, Daegu, South Korea 704-701) DIRECTIONS: Click this LINK . -♦- Keimyung University is actually one of the two main settings of Shinhwa University. The other one is the Gyeonggi English Village. Judging it from the pictures I see on Korean blogs, Keimyung is such a beautiful and large university. If I'm not mistaken, the streets on its complex are accented by cherry blossoms. And attention, students! KMU is actually holding international programs. For more information, you can visit the university's website here . (in English) --- NOTE: This blog post does not guarantee 100% accuracy. 

Rodeo Street, in front of Galleria Department Store (494 Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul) Direction: Take Exit 2 Apgujeong Station, Subway Line 3 -♦- The place was actually indicated at the end of the video so it's easy to figure out where this is... and yeah, it's in Rodeo Street, Apgujeong. Apgujeong is like a mecca for shoppers in Seoul. I, as a foreigner, believe that the place can actually be compared to Manhattan in New York. There are a lot of designer stores there, especially in the Galleria Department Store. Yes, the building where the ever-luxurious Louis Vuitton is settled is called the Galleria Department Store. You can check out their site here . (in Korean) --- NOTE: This blog post does not guarantee 100% accuracy. 

Location: BCJ Garden (166-1 Changman-ri, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi) -♦- I knew it! When I first watched You're Beautiful, I knew it was that familiar location. :) So it's the BCJ Garden again. It's another part of the huge botanical garden in Gyeonggi and it is where the female Go Minam descended from the sky. :)) This is also the place where A.N.Jell boys were seducing the statues. haha! Pictures of the main location under the cut (care of BCJ Garden )

Location: W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel (175 Achaseong-Gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul 143-708) Referred to as the World Hotel in the Korean drama ' Lie to Me ' (the hotel owned by Hyeon Gi Jun), W Seoul - Walkerhill is one of the most prestigious lodging establishment in Seoul. It is a quintessence of the impressive hybrid of comfort and style. It is a wonderful paradise for people who wish to experience a laid-back lifestyle in the most contemporary setting possible.  Definitely, it is one of the top hotels in Seoul . W Seoul is a Starwood hotel so you cannot expect it to be subtle. It will flaunt its impeccable services through its facilities, and it will never disappoint. ^^ The pictures above - I believe - are taken from the hotel lobby: from W Seoul Hotel official site For more info, visit its official site  HERE .

Location: Incheon International Airport (Incheon) I am obviously stating the obvious. Haha! If I ask you to name at least 5 Korean dramas which do not have scenes shot in the beautiful Incheon International Airport, I bet you'll have a difficult time. ^^ Lie to Me is not  one of them obviously. The airport is a common Korean drama filming location because it, itself, is a tourist destination. It's freaking beautiful and with all my admiration, it even has attractions inside it - a perfect tourism-promoting technique since there are travelers who just stopped over Seoul on their way to another country. No wonder it's constantly hailed as the Number 1 Airport in the whole world. Believe me or not, to set foot on this place is one of the many reasons why I really want to go on a tour to Korea ! Cool government is cool, yeah? For more information, visit their site: Incheon International Airport Incheon International Airport  --- ...

Location: BCJ Garden (166-1 Changman-ri, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi) Another BCJ Garden area. :) The last and most heartbreaking date of Jihyun and Kang. More pictures under the cut.

caps by BCJ Location: BCJ Garden (166-1 Changman-ri, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi) I decided to separate the entries for BCJ Garden since scenes are taken from different areas in the attraction.^^ Nonetheless, the place is used in the touching scenes of the reuniting Yi Kyeong & Yi Soo in 49 Days . Obviously, the drama was filmed during spring so the flowers were at bloom.  Here is a picture: photo by BCJ Official Website: BCJ Garden --- NOTE: This blog post does not guarantee 100% accuracy. 

photos/caps by SBS and BCJ Location: BCJ Garden (166-1 Changman-ri, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi) Finally!!! I've been wanting to know what place is this since You're Beautiful. haha! So the Heaven's Square in 49 Days is the BCJ Garden . Thank God for the wonderful blogs of the show's PDs that I get to see this. HOHO! BCJ Garden is actually a botanical place and aside from this square, it has a romantic lake. ^^ Gyeonggi is such a favorite location in Korean dramas. :) And it is just close to Seoul so I think this will be one of the places I should visit when I go there. :) For more information about the BCJ Garden, visit their homepage . Pictures under the cut!

Location: Cheonggyecheon Stream (Jung-gu, Seoul) DIRECTIONS: (EXITS towards CHEONGGYECHEON Stream) Subway Line 1:  City Hall Station, Jonggak Station, Jongno 3-ga Station, Jongno 5-ga Station, Dongdaemun Station, Sinseoldong Station Line 2:  Euljiro 1-ga Station, Euljiro 3-ga Station, Euljiro 4-ga Station, Sindang Station, Sangwangsibni Station Line 3:  Jongno 3-ga Station Line 4:  Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station Line 5:  Gwanghwamun Station

Location: Ando Cafe (Seongbuk-gu, Seoul) One thing that is difficult about 49 Days is that they do not show the real name of the establishments they use. haha! But no complaints there, I find it actually awkward if they do that. :) Anyway, so here is the Heaven Cafe which is owned in the film by Han Kang (Jo Hyeon Jae). It is a vital shooting location for the drama as it is the place where Ji Hyeon (when she's Song Yi Kyeong) works. I don't know if the term 'Heaven' is really there but yeah, this is a vintage cafe, design office, and a furniture gallery in one. It's cute, I swear. The atmosphere of the place makes it comfy to grab a book and read the whole day over a cup of espresso. :) And the architectural style? It's contemporary. It's pleasant. It's unique. If you watch the film, you'll see that the interior is awesome. You climb the stairs from outside and enter the cafe, then go down the stairs inside for the design offic...

Location: Ongkasomsi (옹가솜씨) / Ongka's Kitchen (Decks 114-44 Building, Samsung-2 dong, Kangnam-gu, Seoul) I first thought that the cafe is really called Decks Cafe and the words written in the glass are like terms to refer to the specialty of the cafe. LOL.  Nonetheless, so here is another filming location of 49 Days ; and the place is interesting for me.. probably because I'm really into decks. haha. I wish I really could take the pictures but since it's owned by some Koreans, I will just be linking you to other pictures of the interior and menu of Ongka's Kitchen: Seung Eun Cha's Naver Agadasj's Naver --- NOTE: This blog post does not guarantee 100% accuracy. 

Location: Coffine Gurunaru This is so difficult to find. ㅠㅠ  and I'm not even sure if the address I provided is really the one wherein the Korean drama  49 Days was filmed. ㅠㅠ Coffine Gurunaru has a lot of stores and they're all almost identical. So this is the cafe where Song Yi Kyeong works at night, after being fired from the convenience store. I personally like the layout of this store though I really like the one Han Kang owns (Heaven). The name Coffine Gurunaru is a little weird to me probably because of the term 'Coffine'. I don't want to be reminded of a coffin everytime I drink coffee.  But thanks to this blog , I learned that COFFINE is a combination of "COFFEE" and "WINE" so I think it is read as /KOFAYN/ not /KOFIN/. You can find more details about the store in their official site . They also have Twitter: @CoffineGurunaru
