Winter Sonata
I bet most people are familiar in this koreanovela or at least have heard about it. If you are a fan of this drama, you might have guessed why I started to blog about it. If not, it doesn't matter...


Nami Island which is also called Namiseom / Namisum. For the K-Drama fans, it is the filming site for "Winter Sonata".  It’s a small half-moon shaped island which got its name from General Nami who died at a young age after having been falsely accused of treason during King Sejo’s reign. 

Nami Island is outside Seoul and you can reach there by taking train to Gapyeong Station for almost 2 hours and the Gapyeong Wharf is about 2km walk from Gapyeong Station. Then you need to buy a passport/entry Visa + Ferry to Nami Island which costs 8000 KRW for the whole day.

Whether you like Korean dramas or not, I highly recommend that you go to Nami Island and bring your family, friends, and loved ones, and spend at least 3-4 hours exploring this small island. Your major takeaways from that trip will probably consist of quite a number of wonderful photos which you can happily share with your friends back home as proof that you’ve been to one of the most beautiful places in South Korea and probably in the world.

Here is the video of our last day trip:
