Wondering where are the popular filming locations of
K-dramas? Famous dramas such as Queen Seondeok, The Kingdom of the Winds, Hong
Gil-dong, Ja Myung Go were all filmed at Goguryeo Blacksmith Village in Guri!
It is especially well-known for the drama "The Legend" and thus
became a popular place to both Chinese and Japanese tourists. Why don't you
take a look at it and perhaps visit here someday?
The splendid culture and the vast territory of Goguryeo
would not have been possible without the flourishing ironware culture. Driven
by the maturation of the Iron Age, Goguryeo is remembered as a period when
Korea boasted the largest territory in its history. It boasted one of the
strongest powers in Northeast Asia. The ironware culture of Goguryeo is reborn
in the Goguryeo Blacksmith’s Village (on Achasan Mountain).
Goguryeo is the part of Korean history that children
love. But, due to the division of the two Koreas, there are not many places in
South Korea that show traces of Goguryeo.This village is one of the few places
to show glimpses of Goguryeo. Emerged as a film studio for the popular Korean
drama Taewangsasingi (Legend), the village (2,990m2) is the
only place to experience Goguryeo culture in the Seoul metropolitan area.
Achasan
Mountain, surrounding the village, is also home to the Achasanseong Fortress
and over 80 sentry posts, the latter of which were built after Goguryeo took
over the Hangang River. The Hangang River was the strategic place that three
kingdoms—Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla—fought hard to occupy. Through posts,
visitors can see from the south of the Hangang River to the north, ranging from
Jungnangcheon Stream to Dobongsan Mountain and Samgaksan Mountain. That is why
the Hangang River was the most important strategic point for Goguryeo to survey
Baekje and Silla, which were located to the south of the Hangang River.
