Netflix's #1 show in Korea and Brazil within two days of its 7 August drop. The fictional taffy village is three real, visitable places in Dangjin, ninety minutes from Seoul — and almost nobody has made the trip yet.
For a day trip, choose the three Dangjin stops and use a car or the city tourist taxi; public buses may limit you to two. Sungkyunkwan University is a separate Seoul visit. Yecheon village is reported by journalists but the exact scenes remain unconfirmed by the county or production.
💡 Open daily 10:00–18:00, ₩7,000 for adults (₩5,000 teens; ₩5,000 for seniors, visitors with disabilities and enlisted soldiers) — the price went up, and Korean visitors are split on whether it's worth it: the photos are the draw, but several call the site small for the money. Go for the texture, not the collection. Yudong Primary School closed here in 1993 and the artists who took it over left the peeling classrooms alone — that decay is exactly what the camera wanted. Groups of ten or more must book ahead.
2Goljeongji Pond, Myeoncheon
Filming evidence: Confirmed filming site
The village pond — the pavilion on the water and the cherry-lined bank behind it.
💡 The pond was dug in 1800 by the writer Park Ji-won while he was county magistrate here, and the little pavilion in the middle is his too. Cherry blossoms in April, lotus flowers in July. Myeoncheon Fortress and the old Confucian school are a five-minute walk away, which makes this the one stop worth an hour rather than fifteen minutes.
3Sunseong cherry blossom road
Filming evidence: Confirmed filming site
The road into the village — the tunnel of blossom the couple drive and walk through.
Address
395 Galsan-ri, Sunseong-myeon, Dangjin-si (embankment from Seongbuk-ri to Galsan-ri)
Getting there
Taxi from Dangjin Bus Terminal (about 15 minutes); the road runs along the Dangjincheon embankment toward the Ami Art Museum.
💡 Roughly 3km of cherry trees along the river embankment, planted from Seongbuk-ri down to Galsan-ri. Worth the detour only in the second week of April — outside blossom season it's a pleasant but ordinary country road. The Sunseong Cherry Blossom Festival was 11–12 April in 2026.
4Sungkyunkwan University, Humanities and Social Sciences Campus
Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified
Eun-sae's Seoul life before the amnesia — the outdoor campus scenes around Toegye Hall of Humanities.
Address
25-2 Sungkyunkwan-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Getting there
Line 4 to Hyehwa Station, Exit 1, then about 10 minutes on foot (or the free campus shuttle on weekdays).
💡 An open campus — you can walk in. Behind it sits the actual Sungkyunkwan, the Joseon dynasty's royal academy, free to enter and almost always empty. Together they make a genuinely good hour in Seoul, drama or no drama.
5Geumdangsil Village, Yecheon (unconfirmed)
Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified
Reported by Korean fan sources as a second taffy-village location, with Yongmun Gongso — a chapel-of-ease of the Andong Catholic diocese, not a full parish church — standing in for the boxing gym.
💡 Better attested than the fan wikis alone suggest: a Yeongnam Ilbo columnist wrote in November 2025 that they walked into the shoot in progress in the village's stone-walled lanes that October, and Business Post named Geumdangsil as the taffy village in August 2026. What is still missing is any confirmation from Yecheon county or the production, so we keep it listed below the Dangjin trio. Worth knowing about anyway: Geumdangsil is one of the Joseon-era 'ten refuges', with 200-year-old pine groves and stone-walled lanes between the old houses.

Getting between the three Dangjin sites
Not one of the 80 posts we read describes doing all three on local buses, and two say plainly that public transport gets you to two stops a day at most. What Korean visitors actually use is Dangjin's half-price tourist taxi, a city-subsidised 6-hour hire the county began trialling in April 2026 — three trip reports cover four or five stops with it, the Ami Art Museum and Myeoncheon fortress included. That is the difference between a full day and a frustrating one, and no English-language page mentions it.
When the blossom is actually out
Dangjin runs about a week to ten days behind Seoul, which is why visitors timing the trip off Seoul forecasts miss it. Day-by-day from 2026 reports: 1 April nothing, 8-9 April about 70 percent, 11-12 April full bloom over the festival weekend, 14 April petals falling, 15 April mostly bare. 2025 ran later still — full bloom 10-11 April, peak on the 15th.
Ami Art Museum, checked this month
₩7,000 adults; ₩5,000 for under-19s, over-70s, visitors with disabilities and enlisted soldiers. Daily 10:00-18:00 with last entry 17:30, and no weekly closing day — the only 2026 closure listed is Chuseok on 25 September. Parking is free. One 2025 post still quotes ₩6,000 and a Monday closing; ten newer posts and the museum's own listing agree with the figures above.
What visitors complain about
Across 13 visit reports the museum takes 30 minutes to an hour, not an afternoon. The recurring complaints are specific and worth knowing before you drive 90 minutes: prams and wheelchairs are not allowed inside the exhibition buildings (4 posts), weekend parking fills up (2 posts), and pets are barred from the grounds entirely, gardens included.
Goljeongji is a 15-minute stop, not an hour
A full circuit of the pond is 10 to 15 minutes on flat decking. What makes it worth the taxi is what sits beside it: Naver's walking directions put Myeoncheon Confucian School 5 minutes away (317m) and Myeoncheon Fortress 10 minutes (669m), so the three together fill an hour. Free car park at the entrance plus a public one across the road, and toilets on site. Outside cherry-blossom season the draw is lotus flowers, opening late June and peaking through July.
The Yecheon question
Stronger than fan-wiki gossip. A Yeongnam Ilbo columnist wrote in November 2025 that they walked into the shoot in Geumdangsil's stone-walled lanes that October — roughly 60 cast and crew — and Business Post named the village as the taffy town in August 2026. The boxing gym is not the Yongmun parish church, as often repeated: every Korean source calls it Yongmun Gongso, a small chapel-of-ease of the Andong diocese. Yecheon county has published nothing.
Nobody official has claimed this drama
We searched all 14,566 items on Dangjin city's press board on 8 September 2026 and found nothing about the show. The Dangjin locations rest on local-paper reporting instead — the Dangjin Times named the pond, the blossom road and the museum in May 2025, and Daejeon Ilbo followed in August 2026 with photographs credited to the city. So the city is clearly aware; it just has not made a filming location of it yet, which is why you will find no signboards or fan map on arrival.
Based on: 80 Korean-language sources read on 8 September 2026 — 53 Naver blog posts, 14 news articles, 5 city-government pages, 5 Naver Place listings and 3 route lookups
Dangjin is a day trip, not a stopover: 90 minutes by bus from Central City Terminal, then taxis between sites, because the three locations sit in two different rural townships. The efficient order is Myeoncheon first (Goljeongji Pond, the fortress and the Confucian school are all within a five-minute walk of each other), then a taxi across to Sunseong for the cherry blossom road and the Ami Art Museum, which is the one you’ll actually want time inside. Budget six hours door to door from Seoul.
The Sungkyunkwan University scenes are the opposite — fifteen minutes off Line 4 at Hyehwa, easily bolted onto the northern day of our 3-day Seoul itinerary. Hyehwa is Seoul’s theatre district, so there’s a reason to stay for the evening.
What we’re still checking
Korean sources place a second taffy village in Geumdangsil, Yecheon — three hours the other direction — with the village chapel, Yongmun Gongso, as the boxing gym. That is better attested than we first thought: a Yeongnam Ilbo columnist described walking into the shoot in the village lanes in October 2025. What nobody has produced is a statement from Yecheon county or the production, and neither has Dangjin city — we checked all 14,566 posts on its press board on 8 September 2026 and this drama appears in none of them. Building one fictional town from several villages is completely normal, so we list both and will update this page as the picture gets clearer. If you recognise a frame we’ve missed, tell us.
Frequently asked questions
Where was Our Sticky Love filmed?
Local reporting identifies three visitable Dangjin sites: the Ami Art Museum, Goljeongji Pond in Myeoncheon, and the Sunseong cherry blossom road. The Seoul campus scenes are reported at Sungkyunkwan University in Jongno-gu. Another report describes filming in Geumdangsil, Yecheon; the production has not published a scene-by-scene location list.
Where is the taffy village in Our Sticky Love?
Gujin Yeot Village, the taffy town where Eun-sae and Tae-ha live, is not one real place. It was assembled from locations around Dangjin — the closed-school grounds of the Ami Art Museum in Sunseong-myeon and the old pond and fortress quarter of Myeoncheon-myeon are the two you can actually walk through. Korean fan sources also point to Geumdangsil Village in Yecheon, roughly three hours away; see the note on that below.
Can you visit the Ami Art Museum from Our Sticky Love?
Yes. The Ami Art Museum is a private museum open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, and admission is ₩7,000 for adults and ₩5,000 for under-19s, over-70s, visitors with disabilities and enlisted soldiers (last entry 17:30). It occupies a primary school that closed in 1993, and the ivy-swallowed classrooms and garden are the reason it was cast in the first place. Groups of ten or more need to book ahead.
How do you get to Dangjin from Seoul?
Take an intercity bus from Central City Terminal in Seoul to Dangjin Bus Terminal — roughly 1 hour 30 minutes, with departures about every 20 minutes from 06:00 to 21:55. There is no train to Dangjin, and the three filming locations are spread across two rural townships, so plan on taxis or a rental car once you arrive.
Was Our Sticky Love filmed in Dangjin or Yecheon?
Local papers report three Dangjin sites, while a Yeongnam Ilbo columnist described a shoot in Geumdangsil, Yecheon, in October 2025. Both places may have contributed to the fictional town. The Dangjin locations have more specific local coverage; the exact Yecheon scenes have not been confirmed by the county or production.
When is the best time to visit the Our Sticky Love locations?
Mid-April, if you can time it. The drama was shot from 10 April 2025, and the Sunseong cherry blossom road along the Dangjincheon embankment is only spectacular for about two weeks a year — the 2026 festival ran 11–12 April. Goljeongji Pond is cherry blossoms in spring and lotus flowers in midsummer, so July also works.
