[Bride of the Century] Another Wedding at Yakhyeon Cathedral. Another Wedding for Lee Hongki.

Yakhyeon Cathedral
27 Jungnyim-no, Jung-gu, Seoul
(서울 중구 중림로 27)

I cannot describe how popular the Yakhyeon Cathedral is among Korean dramas. For many wedding scenes, it is usually the setting. I'm pretty sure many people living in the area are always excited to know who among the top Korean actors today they will be seeing in action. LOL

Well, I don't think I can blame anyone for always choosing this cathedral. It's smaller than usual but it does exude that solemn charm that adds to the romantic vibe of the place. To be honest, I want to attribute the atmosphere to the color of its interior and the fact that it sits atop an elevated area, which I believe is a hill. 

Among the top dramas in Korea which filmed in the place are Prime Minister & I and Emergency Couple.

Coming to this place is not difficult. If you need help, please do drop a comment! :)

Hi Anon! I'm not entirely sure if this was used by Angel Eyes since I failed to continue watching the drama.

But as for getting there, here's my two cents:

MAIN GATE (Shortcut)

First, find your way to Chungjeongro Station of Line 2 (Green Line). Then get off via Exit 4.

Upon getting out, you'll see a street to your right so turn there.

walk straight until you get to the other street. NOTE: It's a narrow street and might be a little uncomfortable for foreigners because it's quite dark in there and not so clean. If I'm not mistaken, it's because it's a market place. So you take the risk or you use the long way to get to the main gate.

The cathedral's entrance is on the right of the market.



BACK GATE

First, get to the Chungjeongro Station of Line 2 (Green Line). Then get off via Exit 5.

You have to walk a few blocks (straight towards the direction you're facing) to get to Yakhyeon Cathedral. Stop until you see the police station.

There is an uphill street directly across the station so cross the street towards that. At the end, before you turn right is the cathedral's back door (I think).




Actually, taking the bus is a better option. Buses #7011, 7013A, 7013B and 7017 apparently stops nearest to the market and cathedral. However, I'm not entirely learned about the bus system in Seoul so I don't want to risk it. :(

Taking a taxi would be the best option. Haha. :)



IMPORTANT: I don't assure 100% accuracy okay? Follow at your own risk. :)

What is Wrong with Secretary Kim Filming Locations [IMAGE HEAVY!]

I know I have promised to ID Korean drama filming locations of another Korean drama but I just can't help it with this one. Entitled What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, it is a story of Lee Yongjun ( Park Seojun ), the egoistical and very self-centered vice chairman of the Yunmyung Group, and his secretary, Kim Miso ( Park Minyoung ). So the vice chairman had been very, very dependent on his secretary so when she decided to resign, it took him by surprise and all hell breaks loose. LOL The drama casted KPOP idols Kim Yewon (Jewelry) and Hwang Chansung (2PM) too and I think they're doing good in their current field. <3 I can't help but laugh everytime I see Chansung on my screen. Watch the drama to know why. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The whole story was apparently based on a manga and it's a must to watch this one. It has a light story, and will definitely make you wonder at some points. So it got me hooked easily. And when I get hooked, the locations should b

[Doctor Stranger/닥터 이방인] The Real Myeongwoo Hospital

second photo from kiis3300@Naver International St. Mary's Hospital ( 국제성모병원) Simgoklo 100-gil, 25 Seo-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City 인천 서구 심곡로100번길 25 Three episodes and I'm getting hooked. Putting Lee Jongsuk, Park Haejin and Kang Sora in one drama seems like a fatal thing to me. I love all of them!!! So yeah, I'll be ID-ing Doctor Stranger seriously now. And we'll start with this hospital. As said, it's the International St. Mary's Hospital in Incheon. In the drama, it's named as the Myeongwoo Hospital where Haejin and Sora works. It's quite a big facility considering that it has a housing facility for the residents (Maris Stella) and a mall with an indoor golf course (Wellbeing Mall) within its complex. Amazing, right? I knew all those because of their website. LOL. Visit it here . There's an English feature. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[EXO Showtime] EXO Sehun and Kai at Moon Guesthouse

2nd photo from TripAdvisor Moon Guesthouse 87-1 Unni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul (서울 종로구 운니동 87-1) Aside from going to Seoul, one of my ultimate dreams in life is to stay in a hanok, a traditional Korean house. Since April Kisses days (I was in high school back then!), I have really loved its structure and I even dreamed of living in one. Hehe. Anyway, this is where Sehun and Kai went to for their funny clip in EXO Showtime Episode 8. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.
