Borinara Hagwon Farm [보리나라 학원농장]
The fields of this farm are located on a road that Jeon Nok-du (Jang Dong-yoon) and Dong Dong-ju (Kim So-hyun) take on several occasions in The Tale of Nokdu (조선로코 녹두전) (KBS2, 2019). In episode 20 (full episode 10), Dong-ju thinks back to a time when they first held hands when walking down this road. In episode 26 (full episodes 13), takes this road after having broken up with Nok-du and he runs after her trying to understand her reasoning and in episode 27 (full episode 14), Nok-du walks down this road lost in thoughts.
One of the exit portals of the Goblin’s (Gong Yoo) house in Goblin/Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (쓸쓸하고 찬란하神 – 도깨비) (tvN, 2016-17) leads to these buckwheat fields. But this is also where the Goblin aka Kim Shin is buried in the Joseon times and where he decides to die again – this time for real in episode 6. He goes here with his “bride” Ji Eun-tak (Kim Go-Eun) so that she can take out his sword – the only way for him to die. But Eun-tak can’t hold the sword and thinks that a kiss might help. Kiss that totally takes Shin aback. This is also where Kim Shin picks the buckwheat flowers that he gives to Eun-tak when they meet for the first time at the Jumunjin Beach Breakwater in episode 1.
Young Lee Yeok (Baek Seung-hwan) and young Shin Chae-kyung (Park Si-eun) find shelter from the rain on this field in episode 3 of Seven Day Queen/Queen For Seven Days (7일의 왕비) (KBS2, 2017).
