Planning A 'Our Sticky Love' Trip? Here Are The Real Filming Locations To Visit

A countryside town, a forgotten past and two people finding their way back to each other: "Our Sticky Love" has all the ingredients of a classic K-drama, but its locations add another layer to the story. The Netflix series follows Go Eun-sae, an ambitious prosecutor who wakes up with amnesia and finds herself posing as the girlfriend of Jang Tae-ha, a former boxer turned boxing coach. As their story moves between romance, comedy and crime, the landscapes shift from rural South Korea to bustling coastal and urban settings.

For viewers in India, where the 12-episode series has spent weeks among Netflix’s Top 10, the appeal extends beyond the storyline. Much of "Our Sticky Love" was filmed across South Korea, with Dangjin in Chungcheongnam-do providing the countryside setting for the fictional Gujin Yeot Village. Pohang adds a coastal edge, while scenes in Kobe bring Japan into the story. Together, they make up a trail that moves from cherry-tree-lined roads and old schoolhouses to working ports and waterfront cityscapes.

Dangjin’s Countryside Setting

The fictional Gujin Yeot Village may be known in the series for its traditional yeot, or Korean taffy, and shops, but the landscape viewers see around it is very real. Much of the village was brought to life in Dangjin, a city in South Chungcheong Province where rural roads, fields, ponds and older buildings give the series its distinctly small-town character.

Dangjin is around 90 minutes by road from Seoul, making it a feasible addition to a South Korea itinerary for fans willing to venture beyond the capital. The production began filming here in April 2025, using several locations that can be visited today. Among the most recognisable are the Ami Art Museum, Sunseong Cherry Blossom Trail and Myeoncheon Goljeongji Pond. They are close enough to each other to form a full-day countryside excursion.

Ami Art Museum

The Ami Art Museum occupies a converted schoolhouse in Sunseong-myeon, and its setting is a reminder of how much atmosphere an older building can bring to a screen. Rather than a purpose-built contemporary gallery, the museum retains elements of its former life, including classroom-style windows and wooden interiors. The result fits naturally into the village setting of "Our Sticky Love."

The museum now hosts rotating contemporary art exhibitions, although fans visiting after watching the series should pay attention to the building itself as much as the scenes filmed there. Exhibitions change, while the character of the former schoolhouse remains. For travellers interested in Korea’s contemporary art scene as well as K-drama locations, it also makes for a more rounded stop than a typical filming-site visit.

Following The Cherry Blossom Road

A short drive away, the Sunseong Cherry Blossom Trail provides one of Dangjin’s most recognisable seasonal landscapes. The route stretches for roughly three kilometres and is lined with cherry trees, making it particularly photogenic when the blossoms arrive in spring.

The trees also play into the softer side of "Our Sticky Love." One of the series’ countryside sequences sees Tae-ha and Eun-sae cycling together along blossom-lined roads, filmed during the spring flowering season. For travellers planning their own visit, late March to early April is generally the period to consider for the cherry blossoms, although exact flowering dates vary each year.

The trail is less about a single landmark and more about experiencing the landscape that surrounds the fictional village. Walking or cycling through the area offers a sense of the rural South Korean setting that gives the drama much of its identity.

Myeoncheon’s Historic Pond

The third Dangjin stop, Myeoncheon Goljeongji Pond, brings history into the itinerary. Located in Myeoncheon-eup, the pond dates to the Joseon period and is associated with Park Jiwon, a prominent Silhak scholar who built it while serving as governor of Myeoncheon-gun.

Its appearance changes with the seasons. Cherry blossoms add colour to the banks in spring, while lotus flowers emerge across the water in summer. That seasonal variation makes the pond worth seeing independently of its connection to the drama, particularly for travellers interested in the historical landscapes surrounding Dangjin.

Together, the museum, cherry blossom road and pond offer a compact way to explore the countryside seen in "Our Sticky Love." Since the production has not published a scene-by-scene location guide, visitors cannot necessarily match every shot to a precise bench, road or corner. The broader landscape, however, is an unmistakable part of the show’s visual world.

From Rural Roads To Pohang

The series eventually leaves the countryside behind for Pohang, on South Korea’s southeastern coast. Known for its working port and maritime landscape, the city introduces a different setting as the story takes a more suspenseful turn.

Pohang Port features in a fight sequence, giving the waterfront a very different role from Dangjin’s rural roads and village scenery. Away from the drama, Pohang is a destination in its own right, with a strong connection to the sea and a cityscape shaped by its port. For K-drama travellers, it offers a chance to see how the series shifts geographically without leaving South Korea.

A Detour To Kobe

"Our Sticky Love" also crosses the East Sea to Japan, with Kobe appearing as another backdrop in the story. The port city offers a visual contrast to the Korean countryside, bringing together waterfront views, mountains, and an urban landscape with a long history of international exchange.

Kobe’s compact geography makes it particularly suited to travellers who enjoy exploring filming locations on foot. Its historic districts, hillside neighbourhoods and harbour areas provide plenty to see beyond the places used by the production, making the city an easy extension for travellers already planning a Japan leg.

For fans planning their own "Our Sticky Love" trail, the locations offer more than a checklist of screen appearances. Dangjin brings the countryside and spring landscapes of Gujin Yeot Village to life; Pohang introduces Korea’s coastal character; and Kobe expands the journey into Japan. Together, they turn a fictional love story into an itinerary through three distinct landscapes, each offering a different glimpse of the places that shaped the series.
