[Filming Location] Saimdang, Light Diary

Hi there, I’m doing up a rough list of filming location for this drama. Will do the detailed screen capture if there’s a demand!

Also, one of the key ‘location’ of this drama was that they kept talking about the beauty of this Mountain called Kŭmgangsan (MtKumgang). Sadly, the real mountain is located in North Korea. From 1998, visits to this place (also known as Diamond Mountain) from South Korea was permitted all the way till 2008 where someone got shot by North Korea. In 2010, they started accepting tours from travellers travelling from North Korea side (apparently seizing the once-south korean resorts and run themselves). Information above was extracted from Wikipedia. Well, true to the drama, the place is really beautiful based on the photos that I found online. TripAdvisor Listing | North Korea Tour Agency

I hope to visit this place some day..
