3 places in Seodaemun-gu, Jongno-gu and Yongsan-gu, 1 with a map location.

1. Seosomun Apartment

서소문아파트

Seoul City and Kukto Maeil say the building appears in the drama, where Dong-hoon explains that it curves because it was built over a covered stream.

ACCESS Finished in 1972 and described in the press as Korea's first mixed-use apartment building still standing, it follows the curve of a stream covered over beneath it. People live here: look at the exterior from the street only, keep your voice down, and do not photograph residents or enter the building. The ground-floor shops are ordinary businesses. In 2021 the area was named a candidate for a public redevelopment project, according to the press, so it may not stand for long.

Bulgyo Sinmun says the scenes where Dong-hoon visits his old school friend Gyeom-deok (Park Hae-joon), now a monk, were filmed on the wooden porch of the temple's main hall.

GETTING THERE Search the route to Jeongsusa (Ganghwa) on Kakao Map or Naver Map. ACCESS A small working Buddhist temple on the slopes of Manisan. The main hall is a nationally designated heritage building. Visit quietly, keep out of areas marked for monks, and do not photograph people at prayer.

About this page

My Mister (나의 아저씨) aired on tvN from March to May 2018, in 16 episodes. The late Lee Sun-kyun plays Park Dong-hoon, a senior manager at a company, and IU plays Lee Ji-an, who works on his team (The Korea Herald). It was written by Park Hae-young and directed by Kim Won-seok. It streams on Netflix.

This page covers places beyond the Baekbin Railroad Crossing; for the crossing itself, see the Baekbin Railroad Crossing on our Seoul page.

More of Seoul

Seosomun Apartment is the long, curved block that Dong-hoon talks about in the drama. Seoul City’s own media and the press both name it, so it is confirmed. It is a lived-in building: look at it from the street and move on.

Fans also place scenes at Naksan Park on the old city wall and on Hangang Bridge over the Han River. No official or press source names them yet, so they are fan-spotted.

Incheon & beyond

On Ganghwa Island, west of Seoul, Jeongsusa is where Dong-hoon visits his friend Gyeom-deok at the temple, according to Bulgyo Sinmun, a Buddhist newspaper. One published source names it, so it is reported. It is a working temple; plan it as a half-day trip from Seoul and check the route on Kakao Map or Naver Map.

Where was “Hugye Station”?

Hugye, the neighborhood where Dong-hoon and Ji-an live, is fictional. Fans have matched its subway station to Exit 4 of Sinjeongnegeori Station in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. No official source confirms it, so we list it here as a fan match only, without a map pin.

Places we could not confirm

  • Jeong-hee’s bar: fans place it in Dong-gu, Incheon, but the address comes from a fan blog only. We are holding it.
  • Restaurants from the drama (for example Kojubang in Goyang): named by fans only, and we could not confirm they are still open.
  • Bongpo Harbor breakwater, Goseong: named on fan lists only.
  • Sam-an E&C’s office: fans match it to a company building. Offices are not places to visit, so it is not listed.
