As the ENA drama ‘Your Taste’, which boasts a tangy, addictive taste like Pyongyang Naengmyeon, is gaining popularity by sweeping global OTT charts, the filming locations of the drama are also becoming popular.
‘Your Taste’ is a romantic comedy that depicts the story of Han Beom-woo(Kang Ha-neul), the successor to a food company, and chef Mo Yeon-joo(Go Min-si)as they run a small restaurant in Jeonju.Unlike typical dramas that are set in a fictional city, it catches the eye by using the specific region name of Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do.
Jeonju is a place where traditional atmosphere and modern sensibility are well-blended, and is often used as a filming location for dramas.Netflix dramas that recently became a global phenomenon, such as ‘Cheated on Me’ and Channel A dramas ‘Check in Hanyang’ and ‘Quiet Sales’, were also partially filmed in Jeonju.

In particular, as Go Min-si and Kang Ha-neul grew their love through bickering over their special pride in food, wherever they went became a ‘hot place’.
On various online bulletin boards and SNS, the main filming locations that were used as the background for the drama, such as Jeonju Hanok Village, Jeonju Nambu Market, Gamaek(store beer house), Cheongyeonru, Nosong Square, and Jeondong Cathedral, are being talked about under the title, “Your Taste filming locations.”
The place that piqued viewers ‘curiosity the most was Go Min-si’s restaurant.The restaurant ‘Jeongje’ run by Go Min-si in the drama is set in a Hanok village, but it was actually filmed in an alley near the Donghak Revolution Memorial Hall.There was no signboard, and the location was ambiguous, so there was no need for a special location.
Also, the place where Go Min-si and Kang Ha-neul dated is a place that tourists often visit these days.This place was filmed near the Jeonju Tourist Information Center and in front of Cheongyeonru on Namcheon Bridge connecting Hanok Village and Seohak-dong.
