Locations Featured in 'Sunsae Upgo Twieo' in Suwon
From the alley in front of Sol and Sunsae's house to confession and bicycle date spots, walking through the locations in Haenggung-dong
In 'Sunsae Upgo Twieo', Suwon is not just a backdrop, but a core space that connects Sol and Sunsae's school days, first love, and memories of time repeating itself.
The Korea Tourism Organization even introduces a dedicated walking course in Suwon, as filming locations are densely located around Haenggung-dong and Suwon Hwaseong, making it easy to connect to actual travel routes.
This collection includes only locations verified with accompanying official tourism materials, and it is essential to ensure quiet observation and check the latest operation information in residential alleys and actual businesses.
Haengridangil
Scene in the drama
This is the street where Sol and Sunsae spend their first date. The scene shows the two walking and sharing time like an ordinary couple, with traditional Hanok and renovated houses along the Haenggung-dong alley.
Story of the actual place
Haengridangil refers to the entire street filled with cafes, restaurants, and workshops formed between Hwaso Park and Hwahongmun rather than just one road. The proximity of the Suwon Hwaseong fortress and low residential areas highlights the coexistence of traditional scenery and a vibrant young business district.
Visiting information
The street is open for walking at all times, but the operating hours and days off of individual stores vary. Weekends tend to be crowded with both pedestrians and vehicles, so it's convenient to use public transportation and check the information on Suwon Hwaseong and Haenggung-dong public parking in advance.
When visiting
The filming locations cover a wide area, so please do not block residential entrances while trying to find specific alleys. The atmosphere of the first date scene can be most naturally felt along the walking route connecting Monteid and the mural village.
Monted
Monteid
Scene in the drama
Monteid, with its red brick and arched entrance, serves as Sol's house in the drama. It is the representative location that brings to mind the scene where Sol runs out into the rain with a yellow umbrella, causing Sunsae to fall in love at first sight.
Story of the actual place
Although it looks like the house in the drama, it is actually a café primarily serving salt bread. The blue gate house across the alley was featured as Sunsae's house, but it remains a private property occupied by a family, so do not consider it the same tourist facility as Monteid.
Visiting information
The operating days and menu of the café may vary, so it is essential to check official channels. Being located in the center of Haengridangil makes it easy to connect to Hwahongmun and the mural village on foot, but you may have to wait during peak hours.
When visiting
Avoid long filming sessions that obstruct the passage of café patrons and local residents. Do not take photos from the opposite personal residence or lean against the house; instead, quietly appreciate the overall atmosphere of the alley from a distance.
Henggung-dong Mural Village
Haenggung-dong Mural Village
Scene in the drama
Featured as the path where Sol and Sunsae head to school together, it is also where the famous wall-pushing scene takes place, where Sol shoves a flustered Sunsae against the wall.
Story of the actual place
This village has narrow living alleys filled with murals and small sculptures. The themed alleys are divided into segments like Happiness Road, Love Road, and Romance Road, allowing you to see different colors and expressions within a short distance.
Visiting information
Viewing the street is free and always available, but it mixes general residential areas and workshops. The filming route recommended by the Korea Tourism Organization is about 790m long, conveniently walked along with Haengridangil, Hwahongmun, and Banghwa Suryujeong.
When visiting
Even while imitating filming scenes, do not lean against walls or doors or impede pathways. In the early morning and late at night, refrain from conversations and avoid using flash photography to respect the daily lives of residents.
Hwahongmun
Scene in the drama
The bridge in front of Hwahongmun is the background for the scene where Sunsae confesses his feelings to Sol. The night view showing the waters of Suwoncheon and the arches of the fortress visually emphasizes their emotions.
Story of the actual place
Hwahongmun is the northern floodgate allowing Suwoncheon to flow through the fortress, consisting of seven arches. As a defensive facility from the Joseon Dynasty, it is also a structure managing the waterway, providing a close view of the architectural features of Suwon Hwaseong.
Visiting information
External strolls are free and available year-round. The hours of operation for internal cultural heritage viewing and surrounding facilities may vary by season, and at night, you can enjoy the illuminated fortress and the Suwoncheon walking path.
When visiting
Look for compositions similar to the scene direction from the bridge in front of Hwahongmun toward Suwoncheon. During night filming, be careful of cyclists and pedestrians, and do not go beyond the riverside barriers.
Banghwa Su-ryujeong and Yongyeon
Banghwa Suryujeong and Yongyeon
Scene in the drama
The scene where Sunsae teaches Sol how to ride a bicycle was filmed around Yongyeon beneath Banghwa Suryujeong. It depicts a moment of everyday life where the two become closer, surrounded by the lotus pond and fortress.
Story of the actual place
Banghwa Suryujeong is a military command post on the northeast of Suwon Hwaseong and serves as a pavilion for admiring the surrounding scenery. The lotus pond and fortress, along with willow trees, come into one frame, making it a well-known picnic and sunset spot.
Visiting information
The outdoor space is free for walks, and both the lawn and fortress paths can be used. After rain, be cautious as the pond area and slopes may be slippery, and during events, access to the lawn or pathways may be restricted.
When visiting
When reenacting the bicycle scene, do not ride quickly in congested pedestrian areas below the fortress. Avoid leaning against or climbing on cultural heritage structures, and adhere to rules for using mats and disposing of trash.

Mokgol General Market
Scene in the drama
The scene where Sol and her mother bicker over fruits while shopping for offerings for her father's ceremonial rites was filmed here. It shows the familial relationships and everyday life of Sol against the romance-centered story.
Story of the actual place
Mokgol General Market is a traditional market in Suwon selling essential food items like side dishes, rice cakes, fish, vegetables, and meat. It is a space where merchants and residents actually conduct business, allowing a natural portrayal of the family dynamics in the drama.
Visiting information
The general operating hours per the Korea Tourism Organization are from 09:00 to 19:30, but they vary by store, so you need to check individual holiday schedules, including during Seollal and Chuseok. It is located somewhat south of the central filming locations in Haenggung-dong, so plan extra travel time.
When visiting
The path is narrow, and there are many shoppers, so avoid blocking it with tripods or group photos. Rather than just taking pictures, it's better to experience the local food and shopping by seeking permission from individual stores.
Starting from Haengridangil, you can take a leisurely half-day walk following the route of Sol and Sunsae's school days after passing Monteid and the mural village, leading to Hwahongmun and Banghwa Suryujeong.
Since Mokgol Market is located south of Suwon Hwaseong, it's better to consider public transportation or additional travel time.
Prioritize the everyday lives of residents and merchants over location certification photos, and confirm café openings, cultural heritage viewing times, and event restrictions before heading out.
