Hello to 2019! ย โฅ We hope you’ve had a great start to the new year. You may have noticed that there weren’t as many location listings towards the end of 2018 – that’s because I (Mich) was on a 2-week vacation, and Marion was busy wrapping up the year! We are back now and ready to get back into the KDL groove, and we hope you are too ๐ Looking forward to seeing the new dramas that will grace our screens this year! Which ones are you most anticipating?
We also hope you enjoyed our 2018 Roundups! As a recap, here they are again:
#1 Most Seen Locations | #2 Neighborhoods of the Year | #3 Beyond Korea and Over the Seas |
#4 Fave Scenes and Sitesย (thanks to Chelle, Florence and Iris27 for contributing theirs!)
OUR HIGHLIGHTS

I love to discover familiar real life places in K-Dramaland and this dry cleaners is one. What a surprise to see this tiny business be featured in Twelve Nights (2018). — Marion KDL

And as much as I do love this, I also love to discover familiar K-Dramaland places again. Hello there Bok Chicken! It’s been a while! — Marion KDL

As for me, I was most excited to know that we’ve found the location for Chan’s Whelk! I was asked by a fellow fan if this was a real location, and my reply was that it could be part a studio set. Glad to know that it’s an actual place though! It turns out that the building next door was also featured in another drama, Valid Love. — Mich KDL
KISS, KISS, KISS

A recorded first kiss at Some Sevit/Sebitseom [์ธ๋น์ฌ]ย – wonder what tall ‘tail’ would be spun from this (supposedly) sweet moment.ย — Mich KDL
OUR FAVORITE STAPLES

I somehow have a soft spot for this cafรฉ; a regular in K-Dramaland: Gallery Cafe Adamas253 [์๋ค๋ง์ค253] — Marion KDL

And how could we (I) start a new year, without a bridge? I am happy that we have two more 2000s K-Drama additions to one of my favourite bridges: Coffee Prince and Star’s Lover.ย — Marion KDL
SPOTLIGHT ON AN AREA: NEW YORK CITY
