[She Was Pretty] It Was a Pretty Place They Chose for their Reunion. Too Bad, She Had to Hide from Him.

In the first episode of the Korean drama She Was Pretty, Kim Hyejin (Hwang Jungeum) decided to meet her first love, Ji Sungjoon (Park Seojun) only to realize that how she looks like is already far different from how beautiful she was back when they were in middle school. She then decided to hide in the dark and let her friend pretend to be her, just so the love of her life wouldn't get disappointed.

This heartbreaking scene happened in the Daejeon Municipal Art Gallery. This Korean drama filming location is a huge and beautifully designed art institution in the province, dedicated to providing its people with moving art pieces.

From the blogs I've visited, this apparently houses realistic sculptures of people, showing emotions that would touch your souls even in pictures.

As for the Korean drama, there are two reasons why this appeal to me so much.
First, it's the fact that Hwang Jungeum and Park Seojun are the main characters. Although there's Choi Siwon of Super Junior alongside, it is the two which convinced me to actually watch.
I guess my frustration over their brother-sister relationship and PSJ's one-sided love for his 'twin' in Kill Me, Heal Me will be wiped away by this story.

Second, the drama appeals to me on a personal level because I'm that insecure of my looks. LOL.
Nah, seriously. I've been battling depression during the past few months because of how I look like and how I look so different from how I was before. The fact that I could not bring back the 'pretty' me depresses me so much. >.< And hopefully, this drama will convince me that it's okay to be like this...

Enough of the drama!

As I'm still so busy with real life and work, I'll just try to post something every week. No promises.
But I'll try. She Was Pretty is too good not to be watched, and as I do, I really hope I can give you the filming locations for your next trip to Seoul.





PS:
Let's all pray for Seoul, guys.
I think there's some serious news blocking going on there right now that I had to thank Twitter for being so informative.
The world is getting too much of a war zone these days.
Bombings, terrorism...
I hope human rights violation and dictatorship will not be added to the list.

:(

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

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.
