South Korea 2013: Day 3 - Petite France

September 4, 2013

Annyeong Haseyo Chingus! ^^

What I normally do when making our South Korea itinerary, is to make sure to visit new places  and at the same time to visit places I've seen in Korean Dramas, or the filming location! So for our third day in Korea, we went to PETITE FRANCE! If you are Korean Drama addict like me, you are 101% familiar of this place, dramas such as "Beethoven Virus" starring Jang Geun Suk and the popular "Secret Garden" starring Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won, was filmed in Petite France. If you are a fan of the variety show "Running Man", definitely you've seen this place in episode 40, with guest 2PM's Nickhun and Taecyeon.
