Frequently Asked Questions Q. Does the 'Yongdu-ri Supermarket' from the drama still exist? A. The 'Yongdu-ri' village and its shops were sets built in Mungyeong for the drama's filming. It is highly likely they were dismantled after filming concluded. Instead, we recommend visiting existing drama spaces like the Mungyeongsaejae Open Set to experience the atmosphere. Q. Can I go inside the Aston House wedding venue to take pictures? A. That is not possible. Aston House is a private rental facility for personal and corporate events, and public access is strictly prohibited. As of 2024, the rental cost is around 150 million KRW, and the scene in the drama was filmed through an actual rental. Q. Is it possible to visit all the filming locations in one day? A. That is impossible. The filming locations are scattered across the country in places like Seoul, Daegu (Gunwi), and Gyeongbuk (Mungyeong), making it physically impossible to visit them all in one day. It is more realistic to plan a trip of at least two days and one night, dividing the locations by region, such as a Seoul city course and a Gyeongbuk region course.
