Course I go to Woocheon University ‘Second Twenty’
In drama, it is Woocheon University, its actual shooting place is Kunkook University. Even if it seems to be very busy because of many crowded restaurants, bars and shops, if you step in the school, totally different world is spread. If you stroll in the campus which is spread around Ilgam lake which is famous lake of Kunkook University, you will feel relaxed. For the drama shooting, Kunkook University opened most of school facility. Various places of Kunkoo University appeared in this drama. So just looking around the place which appeared in drama, time has passed very fast. Absolutely it is not attractions. It is good to look around the atmosphere of campus quietly as it is the place for study. By the way, I felt as if I get refreshed as looking around, I could understand the feeling of Hanora.
Name of place Kunkook University Transportation No. 2 subway line Kunkook University station
Walking around Kunkook University, it is very familiar as if I can see Hanora(Choi Jiwoo) and Cha Hyeongseok (Lee Sangyoon) on the way. The familiar places which I have seen in the drama.

Moreover she is frightened about that her high school friend Donchul Yang(Ganghyun Kim) takes in charge. ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’ in the show is a necessary element to explain the main persona Nora ha, it is a significant metaphor. ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’ that has Nora Ha’s memories of childhood is located in Mangwon station on line 6. You can see sign of ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’ after about a 15 minute on foot from the station. This place is presented on the TV show with memories of Nora Ha and her grandmother Wonhae Seo(Hyojung Ban), it is a small grocery store selling snacks, water, and cigarette. Although it is an old store surrounded by modern buildings, also the place suits sign of ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’. The store is also a little bit changed for filming. Although the show is over, the sign of ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’ is still on a wall for visitors. If you are a fan of the show, I recommend you to visit and take a photo in the store. When you open the door and step into the store, an old lady feels like grandmother Wonhae Seo, who loved her granddaughter so much, welcomes you. But, there is no Tteok-bokki.
Go out through the exit 1 of Mangwon station and walk on the street with Starbucks on your left.You can see various restaurants and cafes during walking. Cross roads twice. See the photo of the first crosswalk.
You can see a pharmacy when you cross the first crosswalk and walk down on a street for a while. Turn left at the pharmacy, you can see Human Right Perspective Fund building. Walk down little bit more to get to ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’.
You can see Humanist building(left photo) after crossing the second crosswalk. You can find the small sign of Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki near the Humanist building.
Go into the store, you can see not only the sign but also the props of the show.
Walking down from the exit 1 of Mangwon station for 15 minutes, you can also find the building of Hyunseok’s office. The name of the building is Human Right Perspective Fund SARAM. At Yonsei pharmacy, go left for Hyunseok Cha’s office and go straight for ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’ which has a memory of Nora Ha’s childhood.

TIP
The store of ‘Pulsatilla koreana Tteok-bokki’ that grandmotherWonhae Seo runs on the show, is opened. The store doesn’t sell Tteok-bokki, but sells snacks, water, and cigarette so on. Although it takes a 15 minute on foot, it is interesting to see various restaurants and cafes.

Course the scene of the turning point of the TV show! – L’amuse de Yeonhui [Closed]
Store L`amuse de Yeonhui Location #189-6 Yeonhui-dong Seodaemun-gu Seoul Transportation Take a bus(6714, 673,606,601,163,710,672) at line 6 Mapo-gu Office station, then get off at Yeonhui 104-meter hill stop(Seongsan hall), it takes a 10 minute Phone 0507-1410-2369 Hours 17:00-03:00
In the episode 10, the place that Nora Ha announces divorce to Wonchul Kim(Wonyoung Choi), ‘L`amuse de Yeonhui’. The announcement of divorce is a turning point on the show. ‘L`amuse de Yeonhui’ is a popular restaurant among young people that is showed on in Olive Channel. Take a subway at Mangwon station and get off at Mapo-gu Office station, then take any buses at the station and get off the bus at Yeonhui 104 meter hill‧old Seongsan Hall. Cross the road and walk down the street for a 10 minute, you can find L`amuse de Yeonhui. The restaurant sells New York style food, and it catches customers’ eye by the high ceiling and luxury interior. I recommend you to visit there after 5:30 pm for New York Style food, because they only sell beverage not food between 3pm to 5:30pm.
The exit 6 of Mapo-gu Office station is directly connected to a bus stop. Take stairs up to go to a bus stop. You can take any buses at the bus stop to go to L`amuse de Yeonhui.
TIP
It takes certain 5 minutes to a bus stop from the exit 6 of Mapo-gu Office station. It is directly face to the road which is not common for an exit of subway station, do not confused. There is a quite long stairs walking down out of exit 6, you should climb up the stairs to get to a bus stop. L`amuse de Yeonhui is becoming the hot place recently, it is showed on not only . You’d better to visit after 5:30pm for dinner, because it sells only beverages between 3pm to 5:30pm.
4st
Course The truth in wine of Nora ha and Hyunseok Choi – Drunken Monkey [Closed]
Store Drunken Monkey Location 1st basement level #49 44-gil World Cup buk-ro(Sangam-dong) Mapo-gu Seoul Transportation a 10 minute walk from line 6 Digital Media City station
You can see looks small but a big pub Drunken Monkey while walking along the sign of 48-gil World Cup buk-ro.
Although it is placed under the ground, it is a big pub with more than 100 seats, a pool table and a darts. The tables made of drums are very impressive.
The scene no.4 in . ‘Drunken Monkey’ is the place that Nora Ha said ‘I’ll must do things that I couldn’t do in my twenty before I die’ which touches audiences’ mind. Take a taxi is the best way to go to Drunken Monkey from L`amuse de Yeonhui. I recommend to take a taxi for 2~3 companions because it costs only about 6,000 won. Simply tell the driver ‘go to near by Sangam elementary school, please!’. If you are from other location, take a subway and get off at Digital media city station on line 6 and walk for a 10 minute. ‘Drunken Monkey’, which take a scene of Nora drinking a fruit wine and tell her sad true mind to Hyunseok, is hard to find with a small sign compare to neighbor stores and not easy to be seen. Although it is difficult to find, it is a quite a big pub. There are more than 100 seats and able to taste beers all over the world also to play pool and darts. Especially, I recommend to drink a beer on the huge drum table.
As a conclusion, you can feel the youth at the filming sites of ‘My second twenty’ as its tile. There are so many stores to visit and food to taste which I haven’t visit yet in Mangwon-don and Yeonnam-dong because these places are getting popular recently.
