A story of Samdal returning to her hometown—and Yongpil, who stayed by her side. The warm scenes from the drama all bloomed against Jeju’s beautiful landscapes. From the seaside where their love grew, to the oreums filled with memories, to the flower field that made hearts flutter—step into those places you’ve only seen on screen. A Jeju trip following in Samdal and Yongpil’s footsteps starts now.
This is the beach featured in Episode 1, where Samdal’s “National Singing Contest” scene was filmed. The black sand and wide volcanic rocks set against Seongsan Ilchulbong make for a striking view. At low tide, mossy rock shelves emerge and create an almost otherworldly landscape—and it’s fun to spot small sea creatures, too. Also known as a sunrise spot, it’s a hidden gem on Jeju’s east side.
This is the backdrop for “Sagye-mul,” where Samdal went out on a photo shoot—and nearly fell into the water. The unreal beauty of massive wind turbines lined up along the sea looks like a painting all on its own. We recommend strolling between the turbines and continuing along the walking path toward Hyeopjae Beach. Around sunset, the scenery becomes absolutely mesmerizing.
This is where Samdal sat on the breakwater with a beer. With the breakwater in between, one side opens to a bright white sandy beach, while the other is an activity zone for jet skis and banana boats. The emerald water feels like a Southeast Asian resort—truly the highlight here. With shallow water and fine sand, it’s also great for families.
Appearing in the drama as “Samdalli Gallery,” this is also where the playground scene was filmed—when Yongpil and Sangdo had coffee. A former elementary school transformed into a sensibility-filled café, it preserves the cozy feel of old classrooms. Between the retro nostalgia, cute prop shop, and beautifully kept garden, it’s the perfect place to sip a black-sesame latte and slip back into childhood.
This is the temple Samdal visits to find Yongpil’s father. Wrapped in lush trees, it’s a quiet mountain temple where you can slowly walk the neat grounds and clear your mind. Unlike the more crowded tourist spots, it’s ideal for a calm, reflective moment. It’s also the entrance to the Hallasan Gwaneumsa Trail—perfect for taking a breather in nature.
This is where the flashback scenes of Yongpil’s parents were filmed. The village accounts for about 64% of Jeju’s buckwheat cultivation, and in spring and fall, white buckwheat flowers bloom across the fields in abundance. On foggy days, the scenery turns even more dreamlike. In this place tied to the myth of Jacheongbi, take your time and savor the lingering mood of those drama moments.
This oreum appears when Samdal is walking the Olle Trail. You can drive up more than 90% of the way, making it very accessible, and after parking, it’s only about a 5-minute walk to a 360-degree panorama where sea and fields unfold at once. Do note: the road up to the summit is narrow (one lane), so drive carefully. On the loop trail, you can also spot small caves.
A small oreum featured in Samdal and Yongpil’s flashback scenes. It’s an easy climb—about 10 minutes to the top—and the fresh ocean view paired with planes taking off and landing is especially charming. Located right next to Jeju Airport, it’s convenient to reach. Pair it with the Dodubong coastal walking path for an even better outing.
This old fortress is where Samdal and Yongpil’s kiss scene was filmed. Set beside Hadori Port, this timeworn stone fort offers a truly hidden view—climb up and you’ll see the harbor and sea spread out at once. It’s not widely known, so it’s great for a quiet visit. Just be careful: winds can be strong, and the stone walls are uneven underfoot.
The café Samdal visits in Episode 15. With an open view of Seongsan Ilchulbong and Udo, the scenery through the large windows is the main event—perfect for enjoying fresh-baked bread and coffee. The cozy, warm wood-tone interior adds to the charm. If you want a window seat, it’s best to arrive a bit early.
This is the cosmos flower field where Samdal and Yongpil went to take photos. Located in front of Shinhwa World, it’s free to enter, well maintained, and easy to stroll around. It’s not overwhelmingly large—just right for a light walk and photo time. Visit near sunset on an autumn day to capture that same fluttering drama feeling.
