[She Was Pretty] Choi Siwon is a Badass Motorcyclist along Jamsu Bridge

Jamsu Bridge Seobinggo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 서울 용산구 서빙고동 Often overshadowed by the popularity of Banpo Bridge, the Jamsu Bridge completes the double-deck infrastructure which crosses the iconic Han River, connecting Seocho and Yongsan Districts. Please don't get confused. The one with the famous rainbow fountain is the Banpo Bridge. :) Though designed to submerge when the water level rises, it is still a famous Korean drama filming location . That is why it is not a surprise when a scene for She Was Pretty was filmed here. That particular scene shows Choi Siwon of Super Junior (was it really him riding though?)  To be honest, it feels good to know places like this. It feels better that my favorite Korean dramas are shooting in places like this. I mean, when you're given full opportunity to visit a place where your favorite stars had been to without having to pay lofty prices for entrance tickets, then that's something! Jamsu Bridge had always b...

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

second photo from sihoon_bb Daejeon Municipal Art Gallery 155 Dunsandae-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon 대전 서구 둔산대로 155 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 muc...

Choi Siwon Biking at Namsan Park

C&U Convenience Store (Namsan Park) 105 Namsan Gongwon-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (서울 용산구 남산공원길 105) Looking through my old posts, it's so disappointing and frustrating that I don't have enough Super Junior post in this blog. I've been calling myself an ELF (YES, I'M AN ELF!) for almost eight years now yet I don't follow their schedules that much. Hehe. Or maybe, theirs is just too difficult to track? So let me make it up to myself and have the SJ-dedicated posts begin with this one. Choi Siwon posted on Instagram yesterday the picture above and thanks to the Seoul Tower in the background, it was fairly easy to distinguish the location. Apparently, he rode the bike up to this place so hello Captain Athlete! Congratulations! Anyway, the convenience store is located in the park where buses and land vehicles park. If you're going to Seoul Tower via cable car, I don't think you'll be able to see this place unless you get out of the tower....
