Nearby
Leeum Museum of Art
An art museum run by the Samsung Foundation of Culture. The standing exhibition of historic Korean art is free and the special exhibitions are ticketed, priced per show rather than at a standing rate. It is about five minutes uphill from Hangangjin Station.
Blue Square
A performing-arts complex on Itaewon-ro at Hannam, holding a large musical theatre and a hall used for popular music. Each room carries a sponsor's name and the sponsors change, so the safest thing is to read the hall name exactly as the ticket prints it.
G Guesthouse
A guesthouse on Bogwang-ro 60-gil, its facade covered in graffiti of city names from around the world, with a rooftop looking over N Seoul Tower and Itaewon. In the drama it appears as a gosiwon.
Hannam Bugeoguk
A dried-pollack soup house serving by the table setting, with aged-kimchi braised pork and beef pancakes beside it.
