2024's breakout time-slip romance turned Suwon's Haenggung-dong into a pilgrimage neighborhood — and Sol's house now serves coffee.

1Hwahongmun Gate & Yongyeon Pond, Suwon Hwaseong

The stone bridge before Hwahongmun where Sun-jae confesses to Sol; the pond below the pavilion is the bicycle-lesson scene.

Address
Haenggung-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi
Getting there
Line 1 to Suwon Station (about 1 hour from Seoul), then a bus or 15-minute taxi to Hwahongmun.

💡 Free to walk; come at dusk when the fortress walls light up. Most other Suwon spots are walkable from here.

2Im Sol's house (now Café Monted)

The yellow-umbrella house used as Sol's family home — Sun-jae's blue-gate house stands across the alley.

Address
Haenggung-dong (near Hwaseomun-ro 48beon-gil), Paldal-gu, Suwon-si
Getting there
Walk from Hwaseong Haenggung — it's inside the same mural-village neighborhood.

💡 The house now operates as a café, so you can actually go in and order. The neighboring homes are private — keep the alleys quiet.

3Chuncheon Bridge (Chuncheondaegyo)

The bridge over Uiamho Lake where Sol and Sun-jae's reunions across timelines play out in episodes 1 and 7.

Address
Geunhwa-dong, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon (behind Chuncheon Station)
Getting there
ITX-Cheongchun from Yongsan to Chuncheon Station (about 75 minutes), then a 10–15 minute walk.

💡 Sunset gives you the drama's golden lake light; the bridge has a pedestrian walkway.

4Geumgang Bridge, Gongju

The old steel bridge over the Geum River where time-slipped Sol tries to stop Sun-jae from crossing in episode 1.

Address
Geumseong-dong, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do
Getting there
Express bus from Seoul to Gongju (1.5–2 hours), then a short bus or taxi.

💡 Pedestrian-friendly and prettiest in the evening — Gongsanseong Fortress is right next door.

5Sapgyoho Amusement Park, Dangjin

The retro seaside park of Sol's birthday celebration and the ferris wheel scenes.

Address
Sapgyoho tourist area, Sinpyeong-myeon, Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do
Getting there
Intercity bus from Seoul to Dangjin (about 2 hours), then a local taxi — a car is easier here.

💡 Old-school park with per-ride tickets; the ferris-wheel photo works fine from outside the gate.

6Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)

DDP's curves served as the venue exterior for Sun-jae's band Eclipse's concert scenes.

Address
281 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul
Getting there
Connected to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (Lines 2/4/5).

💡 Shoot it at night when the LED facade is on.

The Busan myth

Contrary to what many fan lists claim, there are no confirmed Busan locations — the seaside trip scenes were filmed at Ayajin Beach and Ayajin Port in Goseong on the Gangwon coast, and the emotional bridge scenes are Chuncheon (Gangwon) and Gongju (Chungnam). Sun-jae’s school is a working Seoul high school, not open to visitors.

The Suwon half-day

Haenggung-dong is the dense center of this drama: the confession bridge, the bicycle pond, Sol’s café-house and Sun-jae’s alley all sit inside the UNESCO fortress walls within a 15-minute walk of each other — and the same neighborhood holds Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s kimbap-shop exterior. One subway ride, two dramas.
