Course Overview
When the school's fencing club is disbanded due to the 1998 financial crisis, a high school student decides to transfer schools, and meets a young man whose family has fallen apart and who has given up his studies to earn a living.
The two support each other and grow to become a national team athlete and a broadcast journalist, respectively...
This course follows the real filming locations from Seoul to Jeonju behind this coming-of-age story of youth and friendship — a pilgrimage where you can walk the very streets and spaces the characters once did.
Day 1 covers the Jongno area of Seoul (Boshingak Bell Pavilion, Marronnier Park), where the drama's early scenes were set, before taking the KTX to Jeonju on the morning of Day 2.
In Jeonju, spend the afternoon at Hanok Village filming spots like Hanbyeokgul, Omokdae, and Jeonju Ilmong, then wrap up Day 3 in the Seohak-dong area (Crossing Guesthouse, Sori Rice Mill, Jeonju First High School).
