5.00A rare look behind the scenes of Korea’s K-dramas. We didn’t get to catch any artistes which was a miss but otherwise this was a good educational tour organised by MBC so no sales driven agenda but lots to learn.

5.00A day full of discoveries! Seeing behind the scenes and the different phases of filming was very informative. Mr. Yi is an absolutely fascinating character, and his explanations, always punctuated with anecdotes, were incredible. Mr. San is also a very nice person, full of humor and kindness. Although I was a bit hesitant about this activity, I came away very happy.
Awesome tour!
