Castle Assisi 319 Gangnam-ro, Gangha-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do (경기 양평군 강하면 강남로 319) When Geon ( Jang Hyuk ) lost his memory about his wife ( Jang Nara ), he brought Sera ( Wang Jiwon ) to a date at the Castle Assisi. However, the latter was pissed off after the twin/triplet went to them and asked about the wife. LOL So yeah, it happened in a restaurant at Castle Assisi. Beautiful place, totally.

Foresta 59-6 Heiri Maeul-gil, Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do (경기 파주시 탄현면 헤이리마을길 59-6) Ever wondered where that beautiful cafe where Jinhyuk and Nara met to talk about meeting the man's supposedly sister? Yeah, it's Foresta in Gyeonggi. It was once a filming location for the WGM episode of Hongki and Mina (this is where they met!) and since then, I fell in love with it. I love the simplicity yet the striking appeal of the place. But above all, I love the fact that it is like a mini-library where lots of books are available for reading!

Once in a Blue Moon 824 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 선릉로 824) This is surely becoming a regular filming location for many Korean dramas. As usual, it features the characters drinking while listening to jazz singers. In the Korean drama Fated to Love You, the scene showed Daniel Pitt ( Choi Jinhyuk ) and Kang Miyoung ( Jang Nara ) talking about their status as almost-lovers. After what I believe was the rejection scene, the guy consoled his broken heart by singing a song. Or was it the other way around? LOL Either way, this is the place they went to. Once in a Blue Moon is a jazz bar in Gangnam, near everything else. It is easy to locate and is easy to reach. All you have to do is find your way to the Apgujeong Rodeo Station (Yellow Line) Exit 4 . From there, head south (towards the direction you're facing). Once in a Blue Moon is just like a few meters away. I remember Jinhyuk singing on Emergency Couple too. His voice's so manly. HAHAHA FOLL...

Spoensha Wedding & Consulting Building Dosandae-ro 81-gil, Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 청담동 도산대로81길) On the final episode, the two were shown trying the wedding gown and suit. It happened in this bridal shop. Looks familiar? Maybe you saw this one already? FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (서울 광진구 워커힐로 177) One of the most beautiful hotels in Seoul is the W Walkerhill Hotel. A branch of the international chain, this establishment totally raises the bar on modern accommodation. Even when I was working as a travel writer for a hotel booking company, this has been my favorite. The facilities were basically top-tiered and the services was superb. No wonder it has become one of the most prominent filming locations of Korean dramas, movies and variety shows. Even Super Junior filmed here . Perhaps, it's the fact that it's perched on an ideal location (fronting the river and quite away from the bustling metropolis) or maybe it's the fact that it's really perfect for all scenes? I don't know. But one thing is sure, W Walkerhill Hotel is an interesting place I would like to stay in when I'm in Seoul. That is if I have the money to pay for the lodge. LOL So yeah, ...

CLUB ELLUI 551 Dosandae-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 도산대로 551) Located just beside the Hotel Ellui in Chungdam-dong, Club Ellui is where Daniel Pitt ( Choi Jinhyuk ) was shown drinking for a scene in Fated to Love You . You know, I've always been interested with the modern culture of Korea and that includes night life. A few times, I have expressed my desire to experience going around clubs in Seoul because I think it does pave way to a hidden yet blatant side of the Korean society. While Club Ellui is not in my must-visit list, I have to admit that this one got total class. I love the lighting that accentuates the sophistication of the black leather seats. I love how it gives off that vibe of seductive privacy. Because it is in Chungdam-dong and near top Korean entertainment companies, it is not a wonder if you'll spot some top actors and idols there. Though I assure you nothing, the possibility cannot be disregarded. For directions to Club Ellui, yo...

The Raum 564 Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울시 강남구 언주로 564) Official Website The first big kiss happened after the auction scenes where the Gae Ddoong cup drawn by Miyoung ( Jang Nara ) was sold for 30million won to Lee Geon ( Jang Hyuk ). And it happened at The Raum . The Raum is an events hall located in the heart of Gangnam District. Due to its elegance and timeless beauty, it exudes this romantic and solemn feel perfect for weddings. No wonder it is one of the most popular wedding halls in the city. Big weddings in South Korea were held here, including the most recent to shock my world: Lee Sungmin's wedding. HAHAHA For more pictures of the place, you can visit this blog .

Katakomb 11 Wausan-ro 17-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (서울 마포구 와우산로17길 11) This is by far one of the easiest places to locate. I haven't been to any part of Seoul yet but at first look, I knew immediately that that scene where Lee Geon ( Jang Hyuk ) and Daniel Pitt ( Choi Jinhyuk ) had a subtle drinking competition was filmed here. I have ID-ed  Katakomb Underground City  for quite a few times already so it's not difficult. This Hongdae bar indeed has a unique appearance which definitely amuses me to no end. I love how lights adorn almost majority of the bar's walls. Even the arcs were illuminated. However, no matter how Christmas-y the bar seems to me, the mysteriousness of the place was still highlighted because it does look like an underground hideout of some medieval organization. It has this dungeon-feel which is kinda supported by the presence of skulls. (Check the curtains of it on the walls!)  The leather seats were nice too. ^^ For more pict...

CU Convenience Store 5 Bibong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul 서울 종로구 비봉길 5 This isn't much. I can go on with my Fated to Love You Filming Locations well without this one. But I can't. I really can't. The scene isn't much as well. It was that moment when Miyoung ( Jang Nara ) met her friend who have then just become a preschool storyteller. So yeah, it happened here. While I may not be 100% sure about the accuracy of this location, I have this great instinct that this one is the same convenience store which was used by Park Shinhye and Kim Woobin in The Heirs . And because of that, I had this another huge presumption that maybe there are more of the drama's filming locations nearby. ^^ FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

Dongdaemun Design Plaza 281 Ulji-ro Jung-gu, Seoul (서울 중구 을지로 281) Miyoung ( Jang Nara ) anonymously received an invitation to an art exhibition of a D. Pitt one day, not knowing that the artist was actually that man who she mistook as a priest in Gongseri Cathedral . This is also where Daniel Pitt ( Choi Jinhyuk ) managed to brew jealousy on Geon ( Jang Hyuk ) after hugging the latter's wife to check who he is actually. So basically, the exhibition was filmed at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. It is that amazing architectural piece built in the heart of Dongdaemun, just beside the top shopping malls in Seoul. It features a rather futuristic design which I can blatantly compare to a UFO. Sorry not sorry, LOL. If you're following this blog, you'll see that I've ID-ed the place quite a few times already. It was in Roommate Season 1 when Song Gayeon and Park Minwoo strolled to buy snacks for the housemates; and it was also where Cheon Songyi (Jeon ...

The Venetian Hotel Estrada da Baia de N. Senhora da Esperanca, s/n,, Macau, China Now this might be an exception to my posts about Korean drama filming locations as this one is outside the country. It's in Macau, and is one of the most luxurious hotels in Asia and in the whole world. It might be quite impossible to not know what this Macau hotel is but yes, this is The Venetian Hotel. It is an important filming site for Fated to Love You because this is where the 'accident' happened. This is where the main characters met and it was the best choice. If you think this place is familiar, then you should all watch Boys Over Flowers . ^^ FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

second photo from here Gongseri Cathedral 10 Gongseri Seongdang-gil, Inju-myeon, Ansan-si, Chungnam-do (충남 아산시 인주면 공세리성당길 10) So I've been doing a Korean drama marathon and chose to watch Fated to Love You the whole day and I swear I'm glad I took time to actually watch everything in one go. Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara are so adorable together and I'm really enjoying Choi Jinhyuk , my favorite eye candy, on my screen. ^^ Okay. So in the drama, Daniel Pitt (Choi Jinhyuk) is an orphan. I skipped the first episode shamelessly so my first scene of my eye candy is when he was talking to a nun. The scene was filmed at the Gongseri Cathedral in Chungnam. The Gongseri Cathedral is a beautiful and charming cathedral in the province which is often a filming location for Korean dramas and movies. It is also a preferred wedding location of many Koreans because it provides a solemn and intimate atmosphere which is very much needed and favored during church weddings. For m...
