Drama Location - Secret Garden

Let's stop for a while about my trip to Korea. This time I will share about one of my favorite drama and the drama location. Honestly, I haven't been in these places because it's quite hard to find tours that will take you to visit dramas location. They always offer us some historical places or places for tourist. So, these places are places that I really want to visit in my next trip to Korea and I have to say that I don't own this photos (got them from different website) and this gonna be "must visit" places if you are a big fan of this drama, because the places are not only beautiful but they are also open for public!

This drama is a 2010 South Korean television drama, namely Secret Garden. 

This drama is about  a typical Cinderella story of love between a wealthy, intelligent and charming, Kim Jo-won (played by Hyun Bin), and a poor stunt woman, Gil Ra-im (played by Ha Ji-won). However, a twist, the accidental switching of souls between the main characters. Actually, I have already watched it back then. Recently I watched it again (because of feeling stress due to my college assignments, papers, etc) and I don't have any good dramas that as good as this one and I'm falling in love with the places that appeared in this drama. 

So if you're one of a big fan of this drama (just like me) you will loves these places. And if you haven't watched this drama yet, and you are searching for a good drama, I suggest you to watch the drama right now!

The first place is the Petite France. This is where Jo-won meets Ra-im for the first time in the drama. Petite France, a French cultural village set in the Korean countryside. Consists of 16 French-style buildings where visitors can lodge and experience French food, clothing, and household culture. It also has a gallery displaying sculptures and paintings of the national symbol of France; a souvenir shop and many other locales where you can experience French culture.

In the recent drama "My love from Another Star", they also had this scene at Petite France.
