I just started watching this drama and things seems a little interesting so far! I’m starting up this post to see if there’s any demand or requests for me to do the full location blogging like what I’ve done for Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, Legend of the Blue Seas and Goblin. So if you want me to continue with this post, please leave a comment in this post. THANK YOU!

[Episode 1]
Chuncheon
Address: 57 Jungang-ro 67beon-gil, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea
Chuncheon Bus Stop
The search for this bus stop was pretty challenging as this was not a real bus stop. If you check the street view on naver/daum maps, the bus stop does not exist. I had to do a matching of physical surroundings and buildings to confirm the exact location of this place in Chuncheon.
Estimated Address: 680-2 Hyoja 1(il)-dong, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea
[Episode 2]
Comf House @ Paju
Address: 37-13, Heyrimaeul-gil, Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea

Farmer’s Table @ Heyri, Paju

Botte Flower Shop 보뜨플라워
Address: 63-1 Anguk-dong Jongro-gu, Seoul 서울시 종로구 안국동 63-1 ⠀⠀
Shop’s Instagram dated this photo to March 29, 2017 (Note: This is a pre-produced drama.)

[KONKUK UNIVERSITY STATION, EXIT 3]
Address: 4-15 Hwayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea
Information Credit: http://ififollowme.blogspot.sg/2017/10/while-you-were-sleeping-konkuk.html
Ttukseom Resort Station, Line 7, Exit 1
Estimated Coordinates: 37.5321096, 127.0671596 (plot on Google Maps)
Sometimes I question my sanity. how on earth did I manage to guess-timade this station. I guess the production crew is like effort max to try and mask the station but I guess I’m up for the challenge! It took me quite a while to find it and it is 100% my effort without any help from any korean blogs. oh gawd. how did i do it.
Note: It is likely that this is the station where they were talking (where suzy passed LJS the umbrella and he rejected)
[Samgyeopsal Shop] in Mapo-gu
Real Name of Shop: 마포 소금구이&돼지껍데기
Estimated Address: 477-9 Mangwon-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea
서울 마포구 월드컵로 143 (우)03963 (Near Mapo Office Station, Exit 5)
This is a legit meat shop, but the name was changed for the show. If you look through the naver maps street view, you will notice that the shop changed the name (to the one in the show) in the screen capture dated June 2017. However, the screen capture in August 2017, shows that the signboard has been replaced to its original name.

Address: 161 Gwangdeok-ro , Danwon-gu, Ansan-si Gyeongi-d0, 경기도 안산시 단원구 광덕대로 161 웅신아트프라자
In front of Ansan Cultural Plaza and it is a 24-hour cafe!

Hi all, I may not have time to finish up the locations for the drama but I’ve found a blog which has almost every location recorded!
Hopefully the link will help and I hope I will find time some day to do the remaining updates =)
thanks for this
am still searching for the bus stop and the train station subway. hope we can find it
been reading your blog entries esp. about MDBC locations….
Hey! I found the train station but I’m not sure if it’s the one you’re looking for as there are multiple train stations and the production crew actually masked the real names!
I’m not sure if I can find the bus stop though. I’ll try and update if I do manage to find it. Do check back!
Hi. Did you happen to know where is the samgyupsal restaurant owned by Nam Hong-joo (bae suzy) located? 😁
hey, i haven’t found the place yet but I have a strong feeling that it is just a film set and not a real restaurant. Usually for places that they have a lot of airtime at, it is not a real place. I’ll update my article if I do find out, at at least the exterior.. I hope.
Hello! This blogger has found the samgyupsal restaurant – https://koreatravelart.wordpress.com/2017/10/06/%E7%95%B6%E4%BD%A0%E6%B2%89%E7%9D%A1%E6%99%82%E6%8B%8D%E6%94%9D%E5%9C%B0%E9%BB%9E-%E6%B4%AA%E7%8F%A0%E4%BA%94%E8%8A%B1%E8%82%89-while-you-were-sleeping-filming-location-hong-ju-samgyeopsal/
My friends and I really love this! Please keep going 🙂

Please, please continue with this post! Me and my aunt are going to Seoul this December and we are both huge K-drama fanatics. Our goal is to visit the filming locations of famous K-dramas.
P.S. I’ve been following your blog for quite some time and I really love it! <3
Hello, I’ve updated a link at the end of my post. It includes most of the filming locations from the drama so you can take a look there to see if you can find what you want! Sorry that I can’t be updating this post for now.
Hi! I’m a huge fan of WYWS and I am curious as to what beach Hong Joo and Jae Chan went to (Ep 24?) I’m going to Korea next year so I would love to go to the shooting locations of WYWS! Thank you so much in advance! 🙂

Hi, thanks for creating this page.
I wanted to know the location of the highway they drive on the way to the beach in Episode 24 (i think it is..?) And I think the beach was Samcheok beach. Just wanted to know the name of the highway before where it was forest on one side, ocean on the other.
Thanks
I’m not sure if this is the place you are looking for – https://ififollowme.blogspot.sg/2017/11/saecheonnyeon-doro.html
