• What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim: 다루마 Yakitori Skewers

    July 25, 2018

    Everyone is watching What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, and so should you!

    Haha I’m starting this post with such a statement. This drama is a romantic comedy with eye candies male and female lead – Park Seojoon and Park Minyoung. We all know how handsome Park Seojoon is, and there’s even a bed scene where he takes off his top to show his muscles (nose bleed). Park Minyoung is freaking pretty! She is pretty from all angles and when she smiles, I smile with her (facepalm). I am smitten by them and their cringey love haha. What attracts me to this drama is not just the two main leads. Every supporting role has their own story to tell with comical scenes every now and then. A light-hearted drama that is bound to lighten up your day.

    This drama is coming to an end soon (sadly), and it’s time for me to start posting about their filming venues.

    Episode 6 where Kim Miso is upset that Lee Youngjoon just pushed her away from a kiss and she was insulted. She took to vent it out with her two elder sisters at a yakitori restaurant over soju bomb. Her sister even diagnosed Park Seojoon with stress related sexual disorder here. I’m going to guide you on how to arrive at this restaurant.

  • All the Butlers – 온천양곱창

    May 1, 2018

    I just started watching All the Butlers variety show last night and I’m hooked. One episode is around 1.5hours and I combed through 6 episodes in 1 day. This is crazy haha!

    The hosts are Lee SeungGi, Lee SangYoon, Yang SeHyung and Yook Sungjae. I really like the hosts and it was motivation for me to start watching.

    I’m sure everyone knows Lee SeungGi. He just completed his army and jumped into this variety one month after. Lee SangYoon is the male lead in drama “On the Way to the Airport” which I was hooked on earlier. Yang SeHyung is the comedian whom we can count on to lift the mood. Yook Sungjae is BtoB’s vocalist and has appeared in many dramas including Goblin.

    I was feeling very hungry at the episode 5 mark of this variety, and it didn’t help when the hosts and guest were entering a restaurant. It showcases so many baseball players’ autographs that I just had to find out where this place is.

    Before you get excited like me, I must let you know this restaurant is in Busan.

    Let’s look at the stills of the episode.

    Let’s look at the restaurant and menu.

  • Temperature of Love – Restaurant Interior

    October 4, 2017

    Korean dramas has been on a down side recently. Nothing really caught my eyes as good as Goblin. I settled for some to pass my time, but they barely got me excited.

    Temperature of Love recently is a refreshing start, alongside with While You Were Sleeping. The latter has just started, so I’m keeping a watch out still. The first few episodes are good, I must say. The former has 8 episodes by the time I posted this, and I’m looking forward to the next episode!

    Now, let’s get on the the filming site in this drama – Temperature of Love.

    The restaurant in the drama that Jungsun is working at is actually filmed at two places. One for interior, one for exterior. I’m covering the interior in this post – the restaurant itself.
