경북 포항시 남구 송도동 송도송림테마거리

A walking path where a black-pine forest over a century old runs along Pohang's Songdo Beach. The scene where Ji-yoon and Eun-ho stroll side by side and open up to each other was filmed on this pine trail. The shade is deep enough to stay cool even at the height of summer, and with Songdo Beach right alongside, it makes a fine walk with pine scent and sea breeze together.

경북 포항시 북구 청하면 이가리 닻 전망대

A white observation deck that juts out toward the sea in the shape of a ship's anchor. The scene where the two stand together and confirm how they feel was shot here, and it has taken off as a photo spot people tag as the place where they proposed. Standing at the tip, the East Sea opens out beneath your feet, and around sunset the sky and water turn wholly red.

경북 포항시 남구 동해면 연오랑세오녀테마공원

A coastal park themed on the folk tale of Yeonorang and Seonyeo from the Samguk Yusa. The scene where Ji-yoon and Eun-ho grow closer over conversation was filmed at one of the park's lookout rest spots. From the pavilion and sculptures on the hill, the sea opens wide toward Homigot, so it pairs well with the Igari observatory as an east-coast drive course.

경기 남양주시 조안면 수종사

An old temple set halfway up Ungilsan, looking down over Dumulmeori and the Bukhan River at a glance. It serves as the backdrop for the important scene where Ji-yoon and Eun-ho first meet. It is famous for the view of river mist from the Samjeongheon tea house, well worth the thirty-minute climb up the mountain path.

서울 용산구 백빈건널목

One of the few old railway crossings left in central Seoul, where narrow alleys and worn signboards give off a retro mood. In the drama it is used as the backdrop for scenes carrying that old-time feel. Photographers often come to catch the moment the crossing barrier drops and a train slips past, so it is a nice place to pause and press the shutter.

서울 중구 소공로 106 웨스틴조선서울

A century-and-a-quarter-old luxury hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul. The scenes where Ji-yoon and Eun-ho hold business meetings and key encounters were filmed here. The classic feel of the lobby and lounge suits the pair's polished daily life, and you can borrow a little of the drama's world over afternoon tea or at the bakery.
