[Modern Farmer] Kang Hyuk's Hospital

International St. Mary's Hospital (국제성모병원) Simgoklo 100-gil, 25 Seo-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City 인천 서구 심곡로100번길 25 In the Korean drama , Minwoo plays the role of a young man born with a silver spoon. Meaning he's rich and he's that one person Minki apparently hated - since he seems like the reason for the band's split. The hospital is actually the International St. Mary's Hospital in Incheon, one of the most advanced and world-renowned hospitals in South Korea. It is not just known for its up-to-date facilities but also for its uniqueness. Imagine? It's a hospital with an arcade, mall, and a theme park. You won't believe me? Check out these sites: Official ISH Website |  what0117 If these seemed familiar to you, you must have watched Doctor Stranger. This was the " Myeongwoo Hospital " owned by Kang Sora's father, and where everyone was employed. LOL FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may no

EMO HONGKI.................. ㅠㅠ

Cheonggyecheon Seorin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul 서울 종로구 서린동 After running away from his friends, Minki ( Lee Hongki ) found himself getting emotional at Cheonggyecheon in Jongno-gu, Seoul. One of the most famous tourist attractions in South Korea, Cheonggyecheon is a beautified stream crossing the district. It is designed for the public to find solace and sanctuary. It's a wonderful and free venue for some picture taking, romantic dates, morning exercises, and a lot of other activities. Cheonggyecheon is the home of the Seoul Lantern Festival. It is also a popular filming site for Korean dramas and music videos. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Modern Farmer] Drunk Lee Hongki and the Band Spotted in Jongno-gu!

Daehak-ro 10-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul 서울 종로구 대학로10길 So just recently, a new Korean drama starring FT Island's Lee Hongki , Roommate's Park Minwoo, Lee Shi Woon , and Kwak Dongyun began. It's called the Modern Farmer.  During its first few weeks of filming though, the drama had created quite a stir among netizens and fans because the fictional band in the story used the name "ExSo" which stands for Excellent Souls. Now you have an idea about the issue, right? Yep. EXO-L were quite annoyed that they used something totally similar to the popular KPOP group EXO. I personally didn't like the idea because it could create confusion among those new people should this drama be a total hit. Searches for EXO might lead to the fictional EkSo and believe me, that could generate an effect. But then, I'm not taking that seriously because I believe in EXO and I know the group's popularity does not rely on searches alone. Hehe. That's why

KIM MINSEOK RENDERED ME SPEECHLESS WITH TOO MUCH HEARTACHES LIKE FUCK

A GLASS OF SOJU HAVE YOU GUYS ALL WATCHED XIUMIN'S MV FOR EXO 90:2014? PLEASE DON'T ASK IF YOU SHOULD, I MANDATE YOU GUYS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BECAUSE MINSEOK'S ACTING WAS JUST SO PERFECT LIKE SO WHAT IF YOU WON'T HEAR HIM SPEAK OR ANYTHING. HIS EYES MADE MAGIC OKAY HIS EXPRESSIONS EXPRESSED GRIEF. AND THOSE TEARS. THOSE TEAAAAAAAAAAARSSSSS. Okay. I'm calming down. Discover why he's called the 'Muggle King' (coined by fans!) by yourself. I'm just gonna tell you where majority of the music video was filmed: YONGMA LAND 118 Mangu-ro 70-gil, Jungrang-gu, Seoul  (서울 중랑구 망우로70길 118) I have previously ID-ed this amazing Korean drama filming site before. Thanks to Juniel and Jonghyun's music video . The place piqued my interest so much because who would have thought that it is actually an abandoned amusement park, right? Yup. It's abandoned and while it should be creepy and whatnot, it is actually used in K

[Cantabile Tomorrow] Backtrack to the Past of the Dean and the Professor LOL

The Raum 564 Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울시 강남구 언주로 564) Official Website So I have officially started ID-ing Cantabile Tomorrow with Joo Won and Shim Eunkyung and I'm loving the Korean drama so far. I have to admit I wasn't able to watch Nodame Cantabile (Japan) nor read the manga so this story is all new to me. :) I could've begin the ID-ing with better scenes and settings but as I'm so much into weddings and elegance these days, I put this first. The Raum is a social venue in Gangnam where different events, mostly weddings, are held. It is a typical shooting location for many Korean dramas and variety shows because of its sophistication and telegenic qualities. I love the scheme, it screams total luxury; and I love how this one building could present so much beauty inside. Curious as to what I'm talking about?

[We Got Married] Holding Hands, Sweet Skinship, JAERIM YO THE MAN

Teheran-ro 13-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 서울 강남구 테헤란로13길  So this is where the cute ruffling of Soeun's hair and their holding hands. HAHA I really like this couple! Jaerim's so straightforward and Soeun's just so game about everything! ♥  This is in Yeoksam-dong ♥ FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[We Got Married] This Restaurant Lets You Eat while in Total Darkness, And the 19+ Couple Experienced it First Hand. COOL!

Blind Art Hall/Blind Restaurant 145 Neungdong-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (서울 광진구 능동로 145) I'm kinda interested with Jaerim and Soeun so I began watching their episodes. And their first meeting was held here. The Blind Art Hall is basically one of the most interesting restaurants in Seoul. The establishment lets diners eat in total darkness, placing their orders before they were guided by waiters who wear eyegears that let them see things clearly in nightmode inside. At first, I thought it was a galaxy-themed dining area but it was much more than that. More than its uniqueness, I think BLIND has undeniably relayed the idea that how you see your date should not depend on their physical aspects. Talk to them while you're in the dark and see their inner beauties. :) Got my point? For directions, please feel free to drop me a comment! FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[My Lovely Girl] Krystal and Alex at the "World Dessert Cafe" - UPDATED WITH DIRECTIONS!

second photo from  12sungbok@naver To the Different 63 Dokmak-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (서울 마포구 독막로7길 63) In Episode 7 of My Lovely Girl, Yun Sena (Krystal) met Sunjin (Alex) after she knew who actually rejected her song. It's a cute cafe, known for its desserts which I think was totally delicious even by looking at pictures here . This is actually a request from a reader. This cafe is in Hongdae so it's fairly easy to locate. There are two nearby Subway stations so Bibie, I suggest that you put on comment where you're coming from coz maybe I can help you with the directions if you're not taking a cab. :) HOW TO GET TO THE DIFFERENT: 1. Find your way to Hapjeong Station (Green Line) and get off via Exit 3 . Walk towards the direction you're facing. 2. Turn right on the second street you're gonna pass by. That's gonna be Yanghwa-ro 10-gil . There's a street sign on the corner so be mindful of it. The landmark is this one gray/black

[My Lovely Girl] Once in a Blue Moon

Once in a Blue Moon 85-1 Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (강남구 청담동 85-1) i've lost track of my posts here in Manager Hyung because of several personal and KPOP issues but I'm back, and hopefully I can actually update this blog regularly! Anyway, I decided to skip and watch the 7th episode of My Lovely Girl. And then I came across this Korean drama filming scene where a proposal happened. LOL Okay, so this is in Once in a Blue Moon and all you who had been following my posts will surely find this familiar? I have posted about this jazz club quite a number of times already :p For directions, feel free to drop a comment! FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

Two Cents In about Luhan Leaving EXO

Am I okay? Clearly, I'm not. But for some reasons, I have expected this to happen. I knew that eventually, the absence will turn into another goodbye. 2014 sucks, right? It does. My top three biases clearly shoved me to the ground with the issues they got into. But Luhan's issue seems to be the most striking to me. Without hesitations, I can actually say that his is the only termination issue which I can openly accept without bitterness or whatever. Funny how some people hate on him; but it's inspiring how many are still in the same position as I am. Perhaps, he has the same reason as the others for leaving; but you know what made it all different? Luhan said goodbye to the members and had the decency to take it slow.  No, I'm not comparing. I'm mainly pointing out the facts. Luhan must have said goodbye to the members. Remember Sehun changing his IG profile to 'EXO Let's Love' and unfollowing everyone? That's my biggest clue. Someth
