[Pinocchio] THE FIRST JONGSUK/SHINHYE KISS


Shinsegae Department Store
63 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul
(서울 중구 소공로 63)

I SWEAR THE JONGSUK/SHINHYE TANDEM IS NO JOKE

After eating udon, Choi Dalpo (Lee Jongsuk) and Choi Inha (Park Shinhye) were walking along this particular street, talking about their feelings. But you know what made this place more special? It is where the two main characters had their first kiss!

This is in Shinsegae Department Store in Chungmu-ro. The mall is basically one of the biggest malls in Korea and has been a favorite shopping place of many Korean artists.
It features a lot of designer brands including Louis Vuitton, which is basically how I knew about the location. HAHAHA

Here's how it looks like from the main road:



Anyway, forget the location.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DRAMA. AND THE KISS.

I love Jongsuk. I love Shinhye.
And when it was announced that they're going to be in a Korean drama together, I kinda forget how to breathe (exaggerated, sorry) because this is like a dream tandem to me. To have two amazing actors blessed with overflowing aegyo and talent in one production is like a God-given blessing to drama fans.

And you know what was the first thing that came to my mind?
The kiss.
Jongsuk is undeniably one of the greatest kissers among all Korean actors today.
And well, Shinhye - IN MY HONEST OPINION - is not performing well in that department.
That's why I wanted the man to demonstrate the woman the art of kissing perfectly.
And on Episode 8, it happened.

Believe me, I was screaming literally when the scene happened.
The kiss wasn't forced. It wasn't rushed. It was perfect.
Heck, it didn't even look like they were acting.
I've seen Shinhye kiss a lot of guys before but this is really the first time I've seen her in such a dazed state. HAHAHAHA.
Jongsuk, YOU DID A GOOD JOB!!!!!
PINOCCHIO IS JJANG!

So yeah, that's basically my whole thoughts while I was watching the drama.
Finding this filming location kinda gave me a headache though.
So yeah, if you wish to reenact the scene with your partner, feel free to do so.
Just don't do it in broad daylight. LOL. Koreans aren't really comfortable with PDA. :p

Need help with the directions? Drop me a comment. :)

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 at New SM Entertainment Building

first photo from only5_yoonjae @ weibo New SM Entertainment Seollung-ro 190-gil, Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울특별시 강남구 청담동 선릉로190길 ) As far as I can remember, they have been using this building since the beginning of the year. I am just not sure though if it goes beyond that. Nevertheless, yeah, here's another building for SME where EXO is now commonly seen. It is quite easy to locate and definitely just a few steps away from Yeonsei Riverville .  RELATED: HOW TO BECOME AN SM TRAINEE? It's a pretty long walk but I think it's gonna be worth it if you really want to explore this part of Chungdam-dong. I mean, there are quite a number of shooting locations in the area which you may want to visit. :)
