The TV drama <Oh Hae-Young, Again> by tvN attracted viewers with the hip spots and romantic streets. The street in full of cherry blossom blowing in the wind and the dim lit alley looked quiet romantic. The Samcheong-dong streets have since become one of the hippest destinations for young people. Newer and trendier spots are vying to take their places – and change the culture of the neighborhood. You wanna try? Then start from the back alley where Oh Hae-Young walked with Park Do-Kyung in love.
Tour Course: Samcheong-dong streets, Coffee Mill – Gupo Noodle(Seongbuk-dong) – Dining Bar ‘Lu’ (Samsung-dong)
Samcheong-dong streets, Coffee Mill
It`s an area where Park Do-Kyung and Oh Hae-Young used to walk together in love, sorrow, happiness, and even in fight. This famous lover’s destination attracts tourists with lots of old, narrow but interesting alleys. The kiss scene of Do-Kyung and Hae-Young, picked as the most sensational kiss scene in the Korean drama history ever, was made here. To get the spot, you have to walk straight along the Insa-dong street near Jonggak Station on Line No. 1. On the left side on your journey, you`ll see Coffee Mill where Hae-Young and Do-Kyung had a meal not a cup of coffee. A glass of ice coffee at Coffee Mill will cool you down in the heat. Or you can just explore all the small alleys nearby. But no loud talking! Residents live in the quiet community.
Gupo Noodle
When you stroll down the street from Hanseong Univ. Station, you`ll find a traditional noodle restaurant. Gupo Noodle, nested in the low-roofed village is a place where Hae-Young and Do-Kyung touched their broken hearts with a glass of Soju. Standing in front of the door at night, the Seoul City Wall sparkles like a diamond just before your eyes. The restaurant faces a small and pretty flower garden. The cozy garden suits for the 70’s style noodle restaurant. A night visit is recommended for fresh breeze from the mountain. Toast a glass of Soju like Do-Kyung and Hae-Young as romantic as it gets!
