[Master's Sun] So Jisub and Gong Hyojin at Cherish Furniture

CHERISH FURNITURE 373-1 Hwajeon-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi ( 경기 고양시 덕양구 화전동 373-1) http://www.cgagu.com/ Episode 6 of Korean drama  Master's Sun totally got me bawling because anything concerning a dog is relevant to me. HAHA Anyway, Cherish is a famous store selling luxurious sets of furniture. I personally liked the products sold there, as seen in the internet. And I think the company really is popular because it has collaborated with popular dramas already. At the moment, it is sponsoring The Master's Sun and Good Doctor. Curious as to what other dramas did they sponsor? Check it out  here . FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Master's Sun] Gong Hyojin at Olympic Park

Olympic Park 88 Bangi-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul One cannot argue with me when I say that Olympic Park is definitely one of the most beautiful places in the city. This vast space of greens is a definite breathing place, especially during summer. In the Korean drama Master's Sun , it is where Tae Gongshil first saw the ghost of Joo Joongwon's first love.

[Master's Sun] So Jisub and Gong Hyojin at Metapolis Enter6

Metapolis Enter6 220 Dongtanjongang-ro, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi This is the 'Kingdom' of Joo Jongwon for the Korean drama Master's Sun . ^__^ Metapolis is an interesting mall, to be honest; mainly because of its interior... It doesn't look like a mall at all. Hehe To view more pictures of the location, you can visit these blogs: ssheaven | s4294 SBS had released some still shots in the mall and you can view it here . If this place looks familiar to you, you might have seen it from To The Beautiful You and Running Man . ^_^ Or perhaps in other dramas because this mall is pretty famous among productions.

[Goong] Crown Prince & Crown Princess' Residence - Yanggwan Building of Unhyeongung

second photo from lovelyran2 @ Naver Yanggwan Building of Unhyeongung 114-10 Unni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul The Yanggwan Building of Unhyeongung was used as the residence of the Crown Prince and Princess. However, only the facade was used.  This is a trivia which I have just known recently: The interior shots were actually filmed is actually a set designed by the staff themselves. So I don't think it still exists today. Haha Anyway, this colonial building is actually a part of the Deoksung Women's University situated within the complex of Unhyeongung. I think it's used for graduate education. For more pictures, you may visit these blogs: lovelyran2 | mayday114 FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Goong] Joo Jihoon and Yoon Eunhye at Kaywon High School

Kaywon High School 207 Jeongja-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi http://kaywon.hs.kr/ Kaywon High School is really an art school specializing in fine arts, design, dance and film making. It's quite an extra-ordinary academy since it only accepts a little more than 300 students every school year. You can visit this blog to see more pictures of the school. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[Goong] Yoon Eunhye at Teddy Bear Museum Jeju

Teddy Bear Museum 31 Jungmungwangwang-ro110beon-gil, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do One of my dream destinations when I go to Korea is the Teddy Bear Museum in Jeju Island. I think no trip would ever be completed without visiting this place. Up to now, the teddy bears used in the ending of each scenes in the drama are featured here. For more pictures, you may visit these blogs: baroseog | 8302yang Actually, there are travel packages to Jeju which will bring you here, so I suggest you avail those when going on a tour.

[Goong] Joo Ji Hoon and Yoon Eunhye at Myeongdong

Myeongdong Shopping Street Myeongdong, Jung-gu, Seoul One of my most favorite KDrama kisses is the one shared by Prince Shin and Chaegyung. It was in a busy street in Myeongdong and I don't know exactly. But whatever, you can just drag your favorite idol boyfriend there and kiss him and it will still feel the same.

[Goong] Kim Jeong Hoon at Imperial Palace Hotel

Imperial Palace Hotel 248-7 Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul  Personally, I think Goong (Princess Hours/Imperial Palace) is one of the most immortal Korean dramas ever produced. It was shown on 2006 but until now, it remains to be one of my most favorite KDramas ever. I've recently watched it again, thinking that I should ID it; but I eventually got immersed that I only got the screencap above. But I'm working on it. 헤헷 It's just not gonna be as easy as the others because it's already 2013 and some places may have changed already. Nevertheless, I'll try my best. ^^ FOR MORE UPDATES: Like us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Follow us on Tumblr IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Boys Over Flowers] F4 at English Village Yangpyeong Camp

English Village San25, Damun-ri, Yonmun-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do http://www.yea.or.kr/english/ So this is the Shinhwa High School. It is in Gyeonggi, and it's one of my dream destinations. I've always been fascinated with themed villages in the province and I wouldn't miss this for the world when I tour to Korea . According to Visit Korea, here's the direction on how to go there: From Dong Seoul terminal, take a bus headed towards Yongmun (est. travel time of 1hr) -> get off at Unbong Mart and walk straight past the overpass  For more updates:   LIKE US ON FACEBOOK | FOLLOW US ON TWITTER | FOLLOW US ON TUMBLR Important Note: This post may not be 100% accurate.

EXO going to KBS Hall

KBS Hall 13 Yeouigongwon-ro, Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul As a KPOP fan, one of the major reason why I should travel to Korea is the KBS Hall in Yeouido. It is where KBS Music Bank and SJ Sukira are held. So it's most likely a nice place to see my oppars . hihi According to Visit Korea, you can use the following subway stations to get to the venue: National Assembly Station (Seoul Subway Line 9), Exit 4 Yeouido Station (Seoul Subway Line 5 or 9), Exit 3 These stations are like 20 minutes of walk away from the hall. However, buses stop exactly in front of the building. If I'm not mistaken, these following buses pass by there: 162 (Blue) 262 (Blue) 5615 (Blue) 5618 (Green) 10 (Green) 70-2 (Blue) Here's how KBS looks like: For more updates: Like us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Follow us on Tumblr Important Note: This post may not be 100% accurate.

CNBLUE Yonghwa and FNC President Han (?) at New FNC Building

first photo, credited as tagged FNC Entertainment 111 Dosandae-ro 85-gil, Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul I know this is way too overdue. I actually forgot about ID-ing this but then I came across the picture and how can I resist a normal-looking (slippers-wearing) Jung Yonghwa? Hahaha You know guys? For an entertainment company, this is quite hidden.  (As if Apple of the Eye isn't... Hahaha.) It's easy to locate.. but it's quite a long walk to get there. Taking a taxi will be a better option. Anyway, it's just near the new SM Entertainment building... and near.... hahahahaha! Here's how the whole facade looks like: I'll be posting a separate tutorial on how to get there so no map for this post. It needs time hahahahaha Important Note: This post may not be 100% accurate.

EXO Sehun and Suho at Cofioca

first photo from  ryoheing51  COFIOCA 659-9 Seoulleung-ro 161-gil, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul So I'm pretty sure you EXO stans are curious as to where HunHan's favorite Bubbletea place is? So yeah, it's CAFIOCA in Sinsa-dong. I've been trying to look for pictures with Luhan and Sehun in it but I only found with Sehun and Mama Suho. Anyway, it's pretty near the old SM Entertainment but is still quite a distance. Hahaha! Confusing? Here's a map: Cofioca is just below SM's Everysing, the shooting location of M&D's Close Your Mouth . I decided to start on Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 6 since it's the most possible drop off point for people using the subway. If you're coming from the old SME Building though, I think it's okay to suggest that you just walk and take in the beauty of Sinsa-dong, or ride the taxi. If you're looking for other pictures of the cafe, you can visit these blogs:

BLOGGED: Scams in Korea

The beauty of South Korea cannot be questioned. Personally, I think that it’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth, even though I haven’t been there. However, immaculate beauty does not always equate perfection. South Korea still has its flaws, and as someone who wishes to travel to the country someday, it’s worth knowing these things. Like in any other countries, there are cases of scamming in South Korea, particularly in Seoul. Here are some of the most usual con activities which tourists experience: 1.        Taxi Scam – We cannot deny that the taxi system in Korea is definitely reliable and efficient. But there are always exceptions, which especially position themselves outside Incheon Airport. The drivers will look like a casual driver, but in actuality, has no connections with any taxi service company. Chances are they will extort you money by bringing you around the city and then charge you with ridiculous amount in the end. What you should do then is to make sure

Super Junior Kyuhyun at Dongpirang Village

second photo from fjqm7950 @ Naver Dongpirang Village Dongho-dong, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do It kinda got depressing when I realize that this is the only place I have located from the Experience Korea with Super Junior clips. >.< But it's still better than nothing, right? But still WHY IS IT THAT I CAN'T FIND SO MUCH ABOUT MY BIAS GROUP? .__. Oh well. Dongpirang Village is tagged as the most colorful place in South Korea. Almost every corner of it has artworks drawn by the locals. It's a village perched on a mountain, I guess. But the area's pretty much urbanized already so no problem on getting there. If you guys have watched Innocent Man (Nice Guy), this is where Kang Maru (Song Joongki) found Seo Eungi (Moon Chaewon), without her memories.

[I Hear Your Voice] Jung Woong In at Sseondeo Chicken

second photo from jmr7874 Sseondeo Chicken 4-ga, Myeongnyun, Jongno-gu, Seoul So here is the famous Hyeseong Chicken. :) It's quite difficult to find especially if you aren't familiar with the streets of Jongno-gu nevertheless, Naver maps will help you. Obviously, the restaurant still has the posters from the drama, which I think they're using as a marketing strategy now. It's a good move though.
