Jeju Island Trip – “All In”
Apparently there was a Korean drama called "All In" a few years ago and some important scenes were filmed here. With all the Korean TV shows being made and the limited size of Jeju, it's not going to be long before every last beautiful location on the island is the...
Jeju Island Trip – The Forest
At one point, after driving part-way up the slope of Halla mountain and back down, we found ourselves at a walk in the forest. We got out and headed down the path a ways, but it was hot and looked like it would just be more of the same for...
Jeju Island Trip – TV Set of ‘인생은 아름다워’
