[K-Drama Filming Location Trip] 'Miss Night and Day' Filming Locations①

JTBC drama 'Miss Night and Day' (낮과 밤이 다른 그녀).

Lee Mi-jin, an unlucky job seeker who had been striving to become a civil servant for eight years but ultimately failed to secure a job.

Thanks to suddenly aging 30 years overnight, she successfully gets a job as a 'senior intern'.

I thought the plot would be somewhat predictable, but the actors' chemistry was great, and

the blend of humor and mystery was well-balanced, making it a quite intriguing drama.

With 16 episodes, the final episode exceeded 10% in viewership ratings, achieving a decent ending.

If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend this drama!
