The scene

The 2026 MBC romance starring IU and Byeon Woo-seok filmed one of its most talked-about scenes here: the two leads on either side of an old, low wall, among the pine trees and grassy burial mounds of this UNESCO-listed Silla royal tomb site.

How to get there
From Seoul, take the KTX from Seoul Station (or the SRT from Suseo) to Gyeongju Station — the former Singyeongju Station, renamed in December 2023 (about 2 hr–2 hr 30 min). From there, a taxi to Oreung takes about 20 min. Or take an express bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Express Bus Terminal Station, Lines 3, 7 and 9) to Gyeongju Express Bus Terminal (about 3 hr 30 min); Oreung is about 2 km south, a 5-min taxi ride or 25–30-min walk. Local buses 505 and 506 stop at Oreung·Sungdeokjeon, but they run only a few times a day.
Tip
Open every day, 09:00–18:00 (Mar–Oct) and 09:00–17:00 (Nov–Feb). Adults 2,000 won; teens 1,000 won; children 500 won. For the drama-style shot, look for the low wall running through the pine grove — weekday mornings are the quietest. The site is beautiful with magnolias in spring and with fall colors from late October. This is a royal burial site with an ancestral shrine (Sungdeokjeon), so stay off the grassy mounds and keep your voice down. Hwangnidan-gil and the Daereungwon tombs are about a 20–25-min walk north.

Checked on October 6, 2026. Hours and fees can change, so check the official site before you go. In Korea, Google Maps can’t give walking or driving directions — Naver Map or Kakao Map work best.
