“Welcome to Samdal-ri” is a heartwarming drama set against the stunning backdrop of Jeju Island, portraying the beautiful romance of its two main characters. As you watch the drama, you'll find yourself just as drawn to Jeju's stunning scenery as to the characters' love story. Why not explore the relaxing places of Jeju, reminiscent of the characters’ radiant smiles?

| Secret Forest

The Secret Forest, located beneath Andol Volcanic Cone, is a famous photo spot known for its cypress trees. After paying the entrance fee for the mint-colored minibus at the entrance, you'll step into a fairytale-like world with dreamlike scenery unfolding before you. Thanks to the various photo spots, including palm trees, stone walls, and huts scattered throughout, you can capture beautiful photos just like Sam-dal (Shin Hae-sun) did when taking wedding snaps of the couple in the drama. The path to the forest can be a bit tricky, so be sure to check the website for directions before visiting.

| Gwaneumsa Temple

Gwaneumsa Temple is located on the slopes of Hallasan Mountain, the highest mountain in Korea. It’s also the place where Yong-pil (played by Ji Chang-wook) and Sam-dal's relationship is approved by Yong-pil’s father, Sang-tae (played by Yu O-seong). As you pass through the dense Japanese Cedar forest and reach the entrance, lined with countless Buddha statues, your mind settles. After exploring the temple, you can join a temple stay to forget your worries and find happiness for yourself.

| Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road

Sinchang Windmill Coastal Road is a coastal route lined with massive wind turbines. As you drive alongside the clear sky and the sapphire-blue sea, it feels like you're taking in all the colors of nature with your own eyes. Just like when Sam-dal and Yong-pil realized their true feelings for each other and embraced, visit this spot with a loved one and create romantic memories by the sea.
