This is seen as the exterior of Barro’s pub — which Scarlett/Cha Hyeon pulls Bae Ta-mi (Im Soo-jeong) to in episode 12 of Search: WWW/Type in Search Word: WWW (검색어를 입력하세요: WWW) (tvN, 2019), after a confrontation with Song Ga-gyeong (Jeon Hye-jin). Later, Oh Jin-woo (Ji Seung-hyun) brings Ga-gyeong out of the pub and helps her into his car, with Scarlett watching from a distance.

Without him knowing, Kwon Jung-rok (Lee Dong-wook) is set up for a blind-date here by Kim Se-won (Lee Sang-woo) and Yoo Yeo-reum (Son Sung-yoon) in final episode 16 of Touch Your Heart/Reach of Sincerity (진심이 닿다) (tvN, 2019). He invites Oh Yoon-seo (Yoo In-na) to join because he thinks he will be meeting his good friends and Yoon-seo is astonished about the situation that she finds in the café.

This is where Cha Eun-ho (Lee Jong-suk) is interviewed in episode 2 of Romance is a Bonus Book/Romance is a Supplement/How To Publish Love (로맨스는 별책부록) (tvN, 2019), and where he shares more about how he came to join Gyeoroo Publishing. He abruptly cuts the interview short when he’s asked about fellow author Kang Byeong-jun and his disappearance.

Hesse Boulangerie 152 [헤세브랑제리152/카페 헤세] is a bakery/cafe that’s part of Cafe Hesse [북카페 헤세] that carries a name inspired by classic German writer and poet Herman Hesse. Inside the café, Hesse’s poems ‘Bücher (Books)’ from 1918 is printed on the wall. It reads:

Alle Bücher dieser Welt
bringen dir kein Glück,
doch sie weisen dich geheim
in dich selbst zurück.

Dort ist alles, was du brauchst,
Sonne, Stern und Mond,
denn das Licht, wonach du frugst,
in dir selber wohnt.

Weisheit, die du lang gesucht
in den Büchereien,
leuchtet jetzt aus jedem Blatt –
denn nun ist sie dein.

< Source: Hermann Hesse. Sämtliche Gedichte in einem Band. Suhrkamp Verlag, Frankfurt am Main 1995. >
