Whenever I'm watching a drama I sometimes feel like I want to cross the screen of my laptop and play some cameo role (yeah, one must not have too much ambition to start :P) in the scene. So if you're lucky and get the chance to travel to South Korea, you get to live in your favourite drama. I was wondering with what drama I should start, but then it became quite obvious - You'reBeautiful. What Else ? *to be pronounced with the dramatic George's tone* So here we go !

You're beautiful

a. Gongseri Catholic Church (공세리성당)

Remember?
This is the place where Jemma (Go Minyeo) says her prayer and where David, Julian and Thomas clean a stone sculpture. Several shots have been taken in this place and the drama opening happens there.

Where?
10, Gongseriseongdang-gil, Inju-myeon, Asan-si, Chungcheongnam-do
충청남도 아산시 인주면 공세리성당길 10

From Asan Bus Terminal or Onnyang Oncheon Station (Seoul Subway Line 1). Take a bus bound for Sapgyo or Daeum (삽교, 대음). Get off at Gongseri Catholic Church.

Bus Schedule: 30min intervals.

Travel time: 30min.

b. Myeong-dong (명동) / Myeong-dong Cathedral (서울 명동성당)

Remember?
Go Minam and Hwang Taekyung were supposed to meet in front of the Cathedral but since he did not show up the not less handsome Gang Sinu makes Go Minam secretly discover the area of Myeong-Dong, known to be one of the most famous places for Koreans to meet and hang out.
