[I Miss You] Yoon Eunhye at Sinseonseollongtang Main Branch

Sinseonseollongtang (신선설농탕) 1086-1 Jung3-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do This is the restaurant's main branch. As you can see, there is the building. This is where Lee Su Yeon's mom worked as a server. For more pictures, you can check out this blog . This blog does not guarantee 100% accuracy.

[I Miss You] Park Yoochun, Yoon Eunhye & Yoo Seung Ho at ZOE Bar

second photo from raravez ZOE Bar Imperial Palace Hotel, Nonhyun-dong, Seoul, South Korea ZOE Bar is an underground bar at the Imperial Palace Hotel. It is where Harry Borrison (Yoo Seungho) held his party and where Han Jungwoo (Park Yoochun) arrested Zoey/Lee Suyeon (Yoon Eunhye). I've been dying to know where this is since I think it's the same bar where Hong Sera and Im Taesan broke up ( A Gentleman's Dignity ) ^^ Here's the hotel facade: Oh, and if you want to see more pictures, kindly check this blog .

[I Miss You] Park Yoochun, Yoon Eunhye & Yoo Seungho at Gureum Cafe

Cafe Gureum (Cafe Cloud) 1333-1 Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul Cafe Gureum is probably the most famous among all cafes located by the banks of Han River. It is a beautiful place where diners can obtain a spectacular view of the placid river. Many celebrities have gone here before. Honestly, it's one of the places that I am planning to visit immediately. I love the ceiling! The blue lights look like constellations in the night sky! If you want to visit the place, use the subway. Take Line #4 to Dongjak Station and use Exit #1. For more pictures, visit this blog .

[We Got Married] Lee Joon and Oh Yeonseo at Everland

second photo from ljw9773 Everland 310 Jongdae-ri, Pogok Eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do http://www.everland.com/ Actually, the three couples of WGM Season 3 were here too. They had a Halloween party and Sunhwa suggested that they go to an amusement park. They went to the horror house which I think is the Horror Maze in the European Adventure. For more pictures, visit this blog .

[We Got Married] Lee Joon & Oh Yeonseo at Depalma's Italian Cafe Farm House

second photo from finepia.com Depalma's Italian Cafe Farm House The Plantation Sinwon-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do So yes, the restaurant where Joon and Yonseo had their first meal together is within The Plantation where they first met. :) It's such a cute place in Gyeonggi. For more photos of The Plantation and Depalma's, visit FINEPIA.COM

[We Got Married] Lee Joon & Oh Yon Seo at Plantation

second photo from this blog Plantation 313-2 Sinwon-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 02-381-2600 www.theplantation.co.kr I don't know how but I was directed to the WGM episodes of Joon and Oh Yonseo; and I'm easily hooked. You know how much I love YongSeo, yes? And so this will come second. :p Actually, G.O. dropped the hint that the first meeting will be in Goyang so finding this has become quite a breeze to me. But I thought it was in BCJ Garden . It turns out that it is the Plantation. You see, this is why I really want to visit Gyeonggi someday. I love the gardens there. For more pictures of the Plantation, visit this beautiful blog of ninakula  and limsso20 .

[Can We Get Married?] Jung So Min and Seong Joon at Imperial Palace Hotel Seoul

Imperial Palace Hotel 248-7 Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul http://www.imperialpalace.co.kr/eng/ The Imperial Palace Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in Seoul. Located in a strategic location in the posh district of Gangnam, this 5-star lodging establishment is definitely the place to be. The room used by Jung So Min and Seong Joon for Can We Get Married is the Imperial Palace Royal Suite. Its rate is 5 million won per night, if I'm not mistaken. Well, with the opulent appointment and the space it guarantees, there's no wondering why it's that expensive. I personally think that for splurge vacationers who want to experience the real GANGNAM STYLE, a stay at the Imperial Palace Hotel is necessary. The place is not just a lodging establishment, after all. It is also a very good venue to discover the impressive Korean accommodation and hospitality.  Anyway, the place is too expensive, right? But fret not. There are many hotel deals online. Pe

[Ms. Panda & Hedgehog] Lee Donghae at Mozart Bakery

Mozart Bakery 292-33 Todang-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do FINALLY!!!!! Okay. So the production people did a little change with the name so I wasn't able to find it immediately. Notice the store names? The first photo was a screen cap and it has 모짜르토. The second is the actual store picture and it's 모짜르트. Get it? LOL So yeah, I've always known it wasn't filmed in Seoul. It doesn't have the city-feel after all. Oh well. I really need my cheap tickets to Seoul now. >.< I want to go around Gyeonggi!!!

[I Miss You] Yeo Jingu at Gimpo International Airport

Gimpo International Airport 150 Gonghang-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul I'm starting to grow a liking on Yeo Jingu. Really. Such a cute guy.  But then I know everything will change once Yoochun comes to the picture. Hahahaha! I recommend I MISS YOU . I don't think there's any comedy in it but guys, it's worth watching. Anyway, Gimpo International Airport is another airport in Seoul; but although it is used as an international airport, I think it's more famous for being a terminal for domestic flights? I remember an actress saying that KPOP stars who usually come here are doing local schedules.  Anyway, for more information, visit this site . And oh, perhaps you'd like to buy cheap air tickets from airlines serviced by Gimpo International Airport? Check out the deals from here .

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Kim Jungnan at Marriott Executive Apartments Yeouido Park Center

second photo from Marriott's Official Website Marriott Executive Apartment Yeouido Park Center Yeouido-dong, Seoul 150-881 South Korea So I am not entirely sure if this is the same apartment which Kim Do Jin refers to as their office residence; but yeah, the hotel where Minsook had mistaken Yisoo as Rok's mistress is a serviced apartment located just a few stone throws away from Han River in Yeouido.  For more information, visit the official website . But if you are into hotel promotions, better check THIS SITE now. Maybe they have deals with Marriott. :) Oh, and for Filipinos... A Gentleman's Dignity will be aired on ABS-CBN starting November 19. I'm not sure about the time slot though. 

[News] Jang Donggun, Jung Yonghwa and Lee Jonghyun at L'Inoui Flagship Store

First photo not mine L'inoui Flagship Store 664-16 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul This is old news but I want to put it here. So that if ever a miracle dawn upon me and I get the money to fly to Seoul and buy a L'inoui bag, I would know where exactly to go. L'inoui is a dream brand of bag for me. But it's expensive. T___T

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Kim Jungnan at Jung Art Gallery

Jung Art Gallery 16-10 Mangwol-dong, Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do This is the gallery of Park Minsuk, the wife of Jung Rok. Yeah, they're the cute Noona couple of A Gentleman's Dignity For more photos, visit this blog: min1040ok

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Yoon Jinyi and Kim Minjong at Cafe Note

Cafe Note 1245-3 Pung-dong, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do One of my most favorite Meahri/Yoon scenes in A Gentleman's Dignity was shot at Cafe Note. It was the confession/rejection scene when Meahri cried a lot. (I did, too.) I think this is also the place where Yi Soo met with her step brothers?  I'm not so sure. Pictures of the cafe interior? find it here: goodlasek

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Kim Haneul, Kim Jungnan, Kim Woobin at Orwiese Village

Photos used are not mine ORWIESE VILLAGE Pung-dong, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do I would have called the Orwiese Village luxurious but I feel like it's an understatement. So this is the home of Park Minsuk and Jung Rok. I honestly thought it is in Gangnam, Seoul but if my map (and research skills) would not betray me, it is located in Gyeonggi.  I'm kinda confused with how ORWIESE is pronounced. I thought it was /or-ways/ or /or-wis/ but apparently, it's /or-vi-che/ (오르비제) For more pictures, kindly visit this blog: hohoho0416

[To The Beautiful You] Choi Minho, Sulli, Kwang Hee etc. at Mokwon University

first photo from here . second photo from Mokwon University Official Site Mokwon University Doan-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea I don't know if this is also where they film the typical school days. I'm going to check then update this blog post, or maybe post another? :) LOL Anyway, sorry for the blurred second pic.

[To The Beautiful You] Lee Hyun Woo at Kraze Burger

Kraze Burger 467 Tower Palace, Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 02-3461-1536 Don't judge me but judging from where Sulli ran to chase Sangchu, I have to assume that the Kraze Burger chain where Lee Hyun Woo waited was in Gangnam too. And though I'm not entirely sure, my instincts tell me that this is the one I'm searching for.  Given that this is the place, it's not the fact that I found it that amuses me. It's the area where it's located. I did some research and learned that Tower Palace has several buildings in Dogok-dong and rent is totally expensive.

[To The Beautiful You] Sulli at Samsung-dong

(선릉로서41길) Samsung 2-dong, Gangnam, Seoul This is an intersection where Sulli chased after the beautiful dog, Sangchu. The area is an intersection actually, and it's where Sulli almost got hit by cars. If this place looks familiar to you, you might have seen this before in 49 Days . I've had it posted here before. ^^

[MV] PSY's Gangnam Style Shooting Locations

second photo from kara920 Royal Saddle Equestrian Society 402 Gyeondalsan-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang 411-560 Official Facebook Page Gangnam Style has definitely gone viral and I will try to compile the shooting locations on this blog. ^^ I think this place is where the equestrian competition in Boys Over Flowers happened too. hehehe. I can't be sure though. Anyway, go check out this blog from kara920 because it has great pictures of the place. (MORE ID'S AFTER THE CUT!)

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun at 空間

Second photo from ahnc2007 空間 Headquarters Wonseo-dong, Jongro-gu, Seoul Behold, Kim Do Jin & Im Taesan's office. It was difficult to find. VERY DIFFICULT. The Japanese characters (I believe it's a Japanese architecture firm) is read as 공간 (GONG-GAN). As Syaoran had pointed out, it's name is Space Headquarters from the Space Group. For an explanation of the layout, visit this link which Syaoran gave to me. The office was definitely interesting and beautiful. I think it has some historical importance to South Korea in general. Official Website: PLEASE CLICK HERE . For more pictures, visit this WONDERFUL blog of AHNC2007 .

Super Junior at W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel

both photos from WSeoul Walkerhill Hotel W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel San21, Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 143-708 (82)(2)4652222 www.wseoul.com Familiar? W Seoul Walkerhill Hotel is the very same hotel used in Yoon Eunhye and Kang Jihwan's Lie to Me . Super Junior used the Extreme Wow Suite Living Room (as seen on photo). I honestly don't know what this is for. Magazine shoot? Promotion for the hotel? IF  it is the latter, W Hotel did a great decision. People from all over the world come to Seoul for Super Junior. So why not stay in a hotel which the group endorses? (OR AT LEAST HAD GONE TO). Singaporeans who wish to book rooms without sweat, why not try this one ? --- This blog post does not guarantee 100% accuracy.

[WGM] YongSeo Couple at Yume Restaurant

Yume Restaurant View Point, Jung1dong, Haeundaegu, Busan Remember the meeting of the in-laws? When our Goguma couple went to Busan, Yong's mother brought them to Yume Restaurant. One day, if I go to Busan, this will certainly be one of the places I should visit. Aside from the fact that YongSeo went there, I am very much drooling over the food it serves!!!! You saw some on the episode right? I want to try the slimy one. hehehe. For more pictures, visit the following websites: 음식  |  아이린 --- This blog post does not assure 100% accuracy.

[FROM MANAGERHYUNG] First Note!

Hi everyone! First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of posts lately. There are a lot of queued items to be uploaded but I can't really find time to focus on it because of my work. However, rest assured that as soon as I find enough time, I would give it some attention so you could continue discovering where the shooting locations of your favorite dramas might be. Also, it has caught my attention that most comments I receive in this blog are saying that the places I'm posting are not accurate. With all humility and honesty, I would like to extend my appreciation for that. I have already disclaimed the accuracy of every entry I post here. However, I do try hard to do researches just so I could provide you with such entries. If you would notice, I always have a signature below every post saying my claims are not 100% accurate. You can believe on whatever and I am not forcing you. :) Anyhow, thank you very much. From the bottom of my heart, this is. Lastly, I ca

EXO Baekhyun & Sehun in front of DKNY Chungdam-dong

first photo, credited as tagged DKNY Store 80 Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul The store is just across SM Entertainment. It is in the corner of the block so people crossing the street would naturally pass by this DKNY store. I wonder where Sehun and Baekhyun were going to though....

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun at Provence

second photo from shaman73 @naver Provence 82-1 Seongdong-ri, Tanhyun-myun, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do Provence is like a small French village in Gyeonggi and I really love the area. Flowers everywhere, as well as quirky cafes and colorful boutiques. See pictures from these beautiful blogs: shaman73 | yu7590  | 3003410 ----- This post may not be 100% accurate.

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun & Kim Haneul at Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do

2nd photo from nuboro @Naver Wondeok-eup, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do In the third episode, the Blue Cats went on an away-game and as they kept mentioning Gangneung, it had become easy to determine where they went for the shooting. The red lighthouse (Hosan) was my clue. I am not sure though if the white one is still existing. I am kinda hesitant about it actually. And of course, this is where Colin hitched a ride with Seo Yisoo and revealed that 'ACCOMPLICE' is his middle name. WAHA. Colin 'Accomplice' Lee. *rolls* You can see more pictures here .

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun & Kim Haneul at Il Mazzio

2nd photo from vnflwldk27 @Naver Il Mazzio Restaurant 2nd flr. 1-144 Dongsong-dong, Jongro-gu, Seoul 02-747-1882 www.ilmazzio.com This is where Kim Dojin and Seo Yisoo went for a dinner (?, :p) I think it's a newly established restaurant in the area. Here's the facade: photo from baboname@naver For more pictures, visit these blogs: saeromsdream | seefar48

Hyundae Home City Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul Cannot disclose the exact address. :) But this is where CNBlue's dormitory is.

[WGM] Jung Yonghwa & Seohyun at Sinchon Bus Station

Sinchon Bus Station Nogosandong, Mapo, Seoul (in front of Family Mart) Teehee. :) It has been long since I posted YongSeo filming location. Well, I had to prioritize work and some other things. :) Anyway, this is where Yong waited for Hyun after the birthday events... And you know what followed next, right? :) ------- This post may not be 100% accurate.

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Kim Haneul & Lee Jonghyun at Club Rococo

2nd photo from babyrank  @ Naver Club Rococo B1, IP Boutique Hotel, 732-32 Hannam-dong, Yongsan, Seoul The only clue was it was in Itaewon and you couldn't imagine what I had to do just to see this place. LOL. And i'm not even sure if this is really the place. But I am 95% sure. ^^ Anyway, PUAHAHAHA! Lee Jonghyun, I got you! :)) Visit its official Naver page: CLUB ROCOCO ------- This post may not be 100% accurate.

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun & Kim Haneul at Mango Six Nonhyeon-dong

2nd pic from yujin840208 Mango Six 1st Floor, Eonju-ro150gil, 1st floor, 97 Nonhyeon-dong Gangnam-gu Seoul ( 서울 강남구 논현동 97 1층) Honestly, I'm quite confused. Apparently, this is the right cafe for this scene . But the terrace outside is missing. For more pics, visit these blogs: Yujin840208 | sukha83

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun & Kim Haneul at Belle Amie

Belle Amie Bojeong-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do This is where Kim Haneul was looking at without noticing that her behind is being exposed already since Jang Donggun is pulling the knit without his knowledge of what it was. LOL This is just in front of the other AGD entry .  ---------- This may not be 100% accurate.

[A Gentleman's Dignity] Jang Donggun & Kim Haneul at Bojeongdong

Bojeong-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do I fell in love with this place when I first saw it on A Gentleman's Dignity . It's like a road filled with cafes and lovely restaurants. The one with the white bricks is called 카페거리 (Cafe Geori). Ah 잔짜! I really have to go to Gyeonggi when I go to South Korea! And remind me to watch this Korean drama again! ---------- This may not be 100% accurate.

EXO K in Busan

Minrak-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan Okay. So this is totally a gamble. LOL. I am not sure but given that they were in Busan and I found a clue, I realized that maybe... just maybe... they were indeed in this place. If you wish to visit it, it's in front of Su Jeong Gung (수장궁) Restaurant and Twosome Place. There's Mango Six there too. Anyway, here's the clue I found: The picture I used was taken on 2011 according to Daum. But the key there is the building that has a blue green whatever. LOL. If it's not where EXO K went to, I think it's gonna be worth it to visit it still. ^^

[Love Rain/사랑비] Jang Geun Seuk, Im Yoona, Son Eun Seo, Kim Sihoo, Seo In Guk and Hwang Bo Ra at Keimyung University

Keimyung University 2139 Daemyeong-dong, Namgu, Daegu www.kmu.ac.kr Okay. So this was kinda tricky. And that's when I realized that perhaps, the drama is shooting in two different campuses; and yes, I was right. They also used the other campus (which I think is the main!) in Seongseo. It's actually the same campus where Boys Over Flowers was filmed. For more images of Keimyung University, you can check out the following blogs: youngsim215 | hudis214

50 Reasons Why Seoul is the World's Greatest City

I have been watching my TList when I saw a friend retweeted this article. I found it nice and very objective, honestly; and I just thought that I should share it with you. [ source ] 50. From bomb shelters to bull markets Springing from the ruins of the Korean War, Seoul has boomed in just 50 years to become the world’s 10th-most economically powerful city and second-largest metropolitan area. No matter how large or small, Seoulites have never met a job they couldn’t finish ahead of schedule. 49. More side dishes than main dishes A typical Korean meal comes with seven or eight separate side dishes. And free refills. There’s more color on a Korean table than at Lotte World on Children’s Day. 48. World’s most wired city Welcome to the next generation IT mega-city. In Seoul, you can’t avoid wireless access even if you want to -- a staggering 95 percent of Korean households have broadband connection. 47. Best airport in the world For five years running,
