Peek-a-boo! It’s that time of the month again for us at KDL, where we feature our highlights and spotlights from the past weeks. While we’ve been steadily catching up on current dramas, we’ve also back-tracked to watch and re-watch some from yesteryear. Which dramas do you like revisiting every now and then?
OUR HIGHLIGHTS

Just when we thought we had most of K-Dramaland’s staples tracked down on KDL, imagine our surprise when we came across THE steak restaurant that’s featured in numerous business and family meetings across various dramas! It’s none other than New York New York at Kensington Hotel Yoido [μΌμ±ν΄νΈν μ¬μλ]. What’s evenΒ more surprising is finding out that this location holds a record! Find out more at this location’s listing π And let us know if you spot this in any recent dramas!
OUR FAVORITE STAPLES

Theme parks have always been a favorite location for K-dramaland characters, who come here to have fun, while… stirring up a bit of drama in between. This past month, Lotte World Adventure and Children’s Grand Park were featured in dramas both on screen and online. — Mich KDL

Also, we discovered that one of our favorite staples has a second floor! Who would have thought we’d be able to see a new side of this cafΓ©? β₯ — Marion KDL
KISS, KISS, KISS

A kiss frozen in time in this classic drama from the early 2000s…

…a playground kiss in this popular drama from later in that decade…

…and one on the rooftop in this wildly popular drama of this decade.
SPOTLIGHT ON AN AREA – Sinchon

This area first popped up on my radar when I saw the pretty cherry blossom-lined street platform in last year’s Rich Family’s Son. Since then, Myeongmul-gil in Sinchon has graced our screens in various dramas — most recently in the con comedyΒ My Fellow Citizens!. It’s also a pleasant surprise to spot that the shopping center across from that street made an appearance in the series too — an homage to the song/dance performances occasionally seen in that area, perhaps?

The Sinchon area is also home to two very prestigious universities — Yonsei University and Ehwa Women’s University —Β which certainly add to its youthful vibe. You’d probably be surprised, though, to know that it also has its own ‘old world’ charm; just visit places like Myeongwol Ine, Hyang Ggot, and even the Sinchon station on the Gyeongui Line for a throwback to the good ‘ol days. — Mich KDL
