Hello, everyone! Today, I want to share a special place from the beloved K-drama 'Mr. Sunshine'—the scenic Manhyujeong in Andong-si, Gyeongbuk. Have any of you watched this drama? Every episode kept my heart racing! One of the most memorable locations is the peaceful Manhyujeong, where Eugene Choi hid when he was young.
Do you remember the wooden bridge where Eugene Choi first met Go Aeshin? That iconic bridge is located right in front of Manhyujeong. When you visit, it truly feels like you’ve stepped into a scene from the drama. Many people take pictures on that bridge, and during summer, couples often sit on the nearby rocks by the stream to escape the heat. It's a simple yet serene place where the sound of the flowing stream sets the perfect atmosphere for quiet conversations with friends or family.
Next up is Hapcheon Image Theme Park in Gyeongnam, a true sanctuary for Korean dramas. Did you know this place has been the filming location for many iconic K-dramas and movies, not just ‘Mr. Sunshine’?
This park has seen the creation of many classics, such as 'Taegukgi', 'Assassination', and 'A Taxi Driver'. Recently, they’ve added a Bonsai Garden and a Themed Garden, making it not just a filming site but also a great place to enjoy nature. I highly recommend visiting this park, whether you’re a fan of Korean dramas or simply want to experience the beauty of its gardens.
Lastly, let’s visit Choi Champandaek in Hadong County, Gyeongnam. Aside from ‘Mr. Sunshine’, many other famous works have been filmed here. Doesn’t that make you want to visit even more? This place is also the backdrop for the epic novel ‘Toji’. With 14 traditional hanok buildings from the late Joseon era, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Several popular dramas like ‘The Legend of the Blue Sea’, ‘Gu Family Book’, and the movie ‘Feng Shui’ were also filmed here. It’s a location that truly makes you feel like the star of a drama or movie. I promise, it will be an unforgettable experience.
I hope you get the chance to visit these beautiful filming locations and feel like you’re part of a K-drama scene yourself. Have a wonderful day, and I’ll be back with more exciting updates soon! ????
