[K-Drama Filming Location Trip] 'Our House' Filming Locations ①

The MBC drama <Our House>, starring actresses Kim Hee-sun, Lee Hye-young, and Kim Nam-hee, captivated viewers and concluded its 12-episode run on June 29, 2024.

While the average viewership rating of 5-6% was slightly disappointing, I was impressed by Yeonwoo's stable acting skills in her role as the villain, Lee Se-na.

This drama stood out for its meticulous attention to mise-en-scène, befitting a thriller genre.

The storyline was also cleverly structured, like a mystery novel. I believe the ending was relatively clean-cut.

Munchijae Pass

Address: 107-1 Bukdong-ri, Hwaam-myeon, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do

The protagonist, No Yeong-won (Kim Hee-sun), is shown driving along a road covered in white snow.

This location, with its breathtaking beauty, almost feels like an overseas filming spot.

It's Munchijae Pass, an old, winding road along National Route 424 in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do.

National Route 424, which begins in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, features endless winding roads with picturesque landscapes hidden throughout.

Munchijae Pass is one of the most famous winding roads in Korea, alongside Odojae Pass in Hamyang, Maltijae Pass in Boeun, and the 12-turn road on Heuksando Island.

Munchijae Pass got its name because it resembles a gate surrounded by high mountains exceeding 1,000 meters above sea level, including Goyangsan Mountain, Gakheesan Mountain, and Gomokijae Pass.

Approximately 1.5 km in length, the entire section features a dramatic S-shape and is known as a haven for longboarding.

The World Longboard Downhill Championships were held here in 2017 and 2018.

The Munchijae Pass Observatory is located at the 732-meter summit of Munchijae Pass. From here, the view of Munchijae Pass offers a breathtaking, almost exotic panorama.

Since the area is sparsely populated and devoid of artificial lighting, it's become a popular spot for capturing starlit nights and car light trails at night.

It's also a place where renowned photographers from all over the country frequently visit.
