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.
1Ami Art Museum, Dangjin
The taffy village's centrepiece — a shuttered country school reclaimed by ivy, now gallery, garden and café.
💡 Open daily 10:00–18:00, ₩6,000 for adults. 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
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
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
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)
Reported by Korean fan sources as a second taffy-village location, with the Yongmun Catholic chapel there standing in for the boxing gym.
💡 Fan-wiki identification only, and it sits awkwardly against the press-confirmed Dangjin sites — treat it as unverified until someone from the production says so. 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.
Suggested route
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 fan wikis place the taffy village in Geumdangsil, Yecheon — three hours the other direction — and name a Catholic chapel there as the boxing gym. That doesn’t square neatly with the Dangjin reporting, though a production building one fictional town from several villages is completely normal. We’ve listed it, flagged as unconfirmed, and we’ll 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?
Our Sticky Love was filmed mainly in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, about 90 minutes south-west of Seoul. Dangjin's city paper and Wikipedia both name three locations: the Ami Art Museum, Goljeongji Pond in Myeoncheon, and the Sunseong cherry blossom road. The Seoul sequences were shot on the humanities campus of Sungkyunkwan University in Jongno-gu. Principal photography began on 10 April 2025.
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 ₩6,000 for adults (₩4,000 for students and seniors). 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?
Dangjin is the confirmed answer — the local paper Dangjin Times and Wikipedia both name the same three sites there. Korean fan wikis separately identify Geumdangsil Village in Yecheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and the Yongmun chapel there as the boxing gym. Both can be true, since productions routinely build one fictional town out of several villages, but only the Dangjin trio has press behind it.
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.
