K-Dramas shot in Pocheon Art Valley

Location: 234 Art valley-ro, Sinbuk-myeon, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do

Located less than 2 hours from Seoul, Pocheon Art Valley has become a hit cultural and artistic destination. It used to be a granite quarry back in the 1960s when construction was thriving. But in 2003, granite ran scarce, and Pocheon was abandoned.

As it had turned into a desolate place over the years, the city of Pocheon decided to start a new project in 2005 in order to develop the location into an art place building a monorail up the mountain, a café, a concert stage and even an astronomical observatory that opened in 2014.

Pocheon Art Valley is now known as a center of culture, history, and of course arts. Its main and most popular attraction is the Pocheon Art Valley Lake. The whole place is a perfect blend between nature and culture, and a popular K-drama filming location.
