Hello hello! After a long break, I am back! 
Korea is a heaven for kimchi, and masks! Sadly I could not buy tonnes of stuff back due to the heavy luggage. We had to lug our own gowns there and back here. My gown got wet in the rain and it became even heavier! It is really a pity, wish I had bought more more more masks!
We took a midnight flight, so when we reached the Korea Incheon Airport, it was only 0700.
Ouch on the panda eye for not being able to sleep in the plane!
A bus was arranged to pick all of us ( about 10 couples) for the photoshoot, plus 3 photographers and another 3 makeup artists. It was about an hour plus bus ride from Incheon to this destination.
Our first venue: Dae Jang Geum Theme Park in Yangjoo Culture Valley.
It was still quite early hence there were not many people yet.
We changed into our gowns in quite a dusty room…but bah! It was cold and windy..*shiver*
Guess what? We were being made up outdoor! Exposed! And without mirror. I could not see how I looked like till I was completely done.
It looks really strange to being made up outdoor. And soon, the crowd started to build and people were staring at us as if we were in the zoo!
After the professional photoshoots, we roamed a little ourselves in our gowns for few shots on our own.
Since we were the first group, we had plenty of time to kill till the last group wrapped up.
My shoes were torn! And I bought a new pair
After having some shots, we were too cold and tired to continue as we didn’t sleep the night before. So, we decided to go for lunch.
The only eatery in the Dae Jang Geum Theme Par, the home style.
They were selling some soya bean milk and rice wine at the entrance.
1000 Won = +- RM33
Strawberries! I bought a cup…but it was expensive! RM15/cup.
Your mum’s kitchen style cooking.
The place was not very big. But equipped with heater.
My bowl of Nong-Shin. It never tasted so good before.
The side dish fishcake and kimchi. The whole meal for 2 cost about RM45. Not cheap but this is the standard price for eating in Korea, especially tourists’ attractions.
Hello yummy strawberries! They were so sweet and tasted like eating icing!
After the lunch, we continued to tour the village a bit.
The outdoor set has actually been restored to exactly the way it was when the drama was produced there and renovated into a theme park. But it is definitely not the playing theme park! It’s just…buildings..and jails, and kitchens.
Hello Jang Geum! I never watched this drama before, neither do I think I would be interested…
Along some of the buildings, there are signs built to explain which scenes were taken from the place.
It was already about 4pm+ till everyone was done with their shot. After packing up, we boarded the bus again heading to DongDaeMun – One of the most happening areas in Seoul.
Bye Bye Dae Jang Geum Theme Park.
Stay tuned for my next post in Dong Dae Mun!
