Lihuazhongxin [이화중심 — 梨花中心]
Yoon Tae-oh (Ji Soo) and Ryu Se-hyun (Hong Ji-yoon) come here on their date in episode 6 of My First First Love/Because It’s My First Love (첫사랑은 처음이라서) (Netflix, 2019).
Kim Jin-hyeok (Park Bo-gum) snaps a photo of Cha Soo-hyun (Song Hye-kyo) in front of this café on their reunion date in final episode 16 of Encounter/Boyfriend (남자친구) (tvN, 2018-19).
Lihuazhongxin [이화중심 — 梨花中心] is a art gallery café focusing on cats; or, as the café states: “cats work and cats are drawn here”. It is located in Ihwa Mural Village [이화 벽화마을], which is itself part of Seoul’s neighborhood Ihwa [Ihwa-dong/이화동] in the Jongno district [Jongno-gu/종로구].
It sits right opposite of the Ihwa-dong Village Museum [이화동 마을박물관] and rather close to 508 Shop [508샵].
