Donghun (played by Seonkyun Lee) is struggling with his life and Jian (played by IU) is in a worse situation than him. These two, who don't seem to get along well, heal deep wounds from their lives and endure the heaviness of their lives in 'My Uncle', a drama of healing and empathy. Let’s visit several corners of Seoul that comfort not only Donghun and Jian but also others who are hurt.
Baekbin Walkway – Seogang Pork Skin – QUOTE BLACK – Naksan Park,
This is the road where Donghun and Jian walked together on the way home after their walk and where the three brothers walked side-by-side after having some drinks. Hugye Station in the drama is a fictitious station, but the actual venue was shot on the Baekbin Walkway in Inchon-dong. This is a place that has the look of Seoul in the 1970s-80s and has been the background of many different movies and dramas. The venue may look ordinary, but once you walk on the road, you might start missing someone from the past.

The outdated look of the restaurant, stemming from its a long history, looks attractive. In 'My Uncle', Donghun’s brothers hung out and made fun of Donghun and told him that Jian had a crush on him. Just like in the drama, let’s visit the location with close friends. As the name suggests, the pork skin here is very tasty, but other cuts of meat are also very delicious. On one side of the wall, you can see some memorabilia of celebrities who have visited the restaurant.

In the very last episode of the drama, all the conflicts and incidents were resolved and Jian and Donghun decided to grow apart. A year or so later, Jian and Donghun coincidentally come across one another at QUOTE BLACK.
This cafe has very good accessibility since it only takes 15 minutes to walk from Euljiro and Gwanghwamun. One side of the store sells coffee and baked goods and the other side is used as a coffee roasting room. The store is very elegant, urban, and spacious, with glass that allows natural light to come in, a coffee menu made with high quality beans, and various breads that are bound to please your eyes and mouth. There are many aspects that make this cafe popular. While traveling around the city, why don't you enjoy some downtime on the terrace where Donghun sat down in the drama.

Jian’s grandmother wanted to see the moon, so Jian put her on a stolen cart to go out to the park. The moon and night view that Jian and her grandmother look at is painfully beautiful. This scene from 'My Uncle' brought out tears to many viewers and it was filmed on the 2nd Observatory Plaza in Naksan Park.
When the sun is about to set, let’s go up to Naksan Park and enjoy the scene. The far away Bukhan Mountain, downtown, and the wall-side road exuding lights create a picturesque view of Seoul.
