· Chamnamujip

Address: 227, Gojae-gil, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do

Recently featured on YouTube channel 15 Night <Jirangi's Tteuttippangpang> as a stir-fried chicken and vegetables restaurant.

It's cooked in the kitchen and served immediately. (Takeout is also available)

It's said that many visitors to K26 frequent this place due to its proximity.

However, due to its somewhat inconvenient location, it's not highly recommended if you are solely visiting for the chicken and vegetables.

Sagewood Hongcheon

Address: 898-87, Gwangseok-ro, Ducheon-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do

A 5-star hotel boasting clean air at an altitude of 765m, a special golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus,

a stunning infinity pool, and slow food made with fresh organic ingredients.

Ananti at Gangnam, Peau Ssong

Address: 734, Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

When Jae-jin asked Sena why she wanted to have dessert first, she replied,

“Who knows what will happen in the future? It would be a shame if I died without getting to eat something so delicious.”

Perhaps this was the moment when Jae-jin, who could not control anything in his life, was drawn to Sena's charm?

While the drama depicted it with dim lighting, the interior is quite opulent.

A high-class restaurant perfect for business meetings, events, or anniversaries.

Daehan Sungkonghoe Incheon Naedong Church

Address: 21-32, Gaehangno 45beon-gil, Jung-gu, Incheon

Korea's first Anglican church, designated as Incheon Metropolitan City Tangible Cultural Property No. 51.

Anglicanism is the state religion of England. It began in Incheon in September 1890 when Bishop Corfe, a British naval chaplain, and Elibarr Landis (Korean name: Namdeoksi), an American physician, arrived in Incheon.

Bishop Corfe secured land in Incheon and began construction of Korea's first church.

In 1902, it served as the Russian consulate, and during the Battle of Chemulpo in 1904, it became a Japanese Red Cross hospital.

It was used for various purposes before being transformed into Naedong Church after the Korean War, with repairs made to the parts that were destroyed during the war.

Address: 7, Uhyeon-ro 90beon-gil, Jung-gu, Incheon, Hyeseong Building 2nd Floor

A representative traditional Western-style restaurant in Incheon with over 80 years of history. It has been featured on various programs, including Sooyo Michelin Guide.

Featured as the dining spot for Jeong-bong's family in the tvN drama <Reply 1988>.

You can experience the atmosphere and taste of traditional Western-style cuisine from the 70s and 80s, which is different from Japanese cutlets.

With a variety of menu options, including cheese cutlets and fish cutlets, it's a place that will satisfy everyone.

It's close to Incheon's tourist attractions such as Jayu Park, Sinpo Market, and Dongwha Village,

and features a spacious parking lot, making it convenient for those driving.

· Gongilbukkeok

Address: 209, Manlijae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

It offers a wide variety of Korean dishes, including fermented kimchi stew, grilled mackerel with direct fire, and braised short rib set meals, ensuring a satisfying culinary experience.

The food is not overly seasoned, and the side dishes alone are enough to enjoy a bowl of rice, offering a clean and refreshing taste.

The atmosphere can be a bit lively, making it suitable for visits with friends.

My personal recommendation is the grilled mackerel with direct fire!

Kkotji Beach

Address: Seung-eon-ri, Anmyeon-eup, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do

After overcoming his 'midlife crisis,' Jae-jin finally returns to his family and becomes the true son of his mother, Hong Yeo-sa.

The place where they have this conversation is Kkotji Beach, known for its beautiful sunset.

It features a 5km-long white sand beach with the Halbae Rock (Grandfather Rock) and Halmae Rock (Grandmother Rock), creating a picturesque landscape.

The sunset that paints the sky red beyond the two rocks is considered one of the most beautiful sights in Taean.

It gained the lovely name 'Kkotji' (Flower Village) because of the abundance of rose of Sharon that used to bloom along the beach.

A sad legend is associated with the two rocks that symbolize Kkotji Beach.

During the Silla Dynasty, Jang Bogo, a maritime king, established a base on Anmyeon Island, and Seung-eon, the base commander, and his wife, Mido, were known for their loving relationship.

However, Seung-eon did not return from his expedition, and Mido, who waited for her husband by the sea, eventually turned into Halmae Rock after her death.

The larger rock slightly further out to sea naturally became known as Halbae Rock.

The two rocks, standing facing each other as if the wife is waiting for her husband who went out to sea, evoke a poignant feeling.

When the tide is low, you can see the two rocks seemingly connected by a sandbar, appearing as one body.

The beach attracts visitors throughout the year, not just in the summer, primarily due to the sunset with the rocks.

As the sun sets, many people gather to capture the beautiful sunset scenery beyond Halmae Rock and Halbae Rock, creating a spectacular scene. (Source: Korea Tourism Organization)
