K-Pop Destinations: Shooting For "You Who Came From The Stars"

So many of Kim Soo Hyun's fans showed up at some of the filming locations for "You Who Came From The Stars," some fans say that Key East Entertainment recently asked fans not to visit the sites because their presence complicated the drama's filming.

And that was not the only problem the crew had filming scenes in the apartment complex his character shares with Jun Ji Hyun's.

Although the interiors of Do Min Joon and Chun Song Yi's adjoining apartments are elaborate million-dollar sets constructed specially for the drama, the hallway, elevators, lobby and exterior apartment scenes are being filmed at the Trapalace apartment complex in Yangcheon-gu. The luxury apartment buildings are among some of the tallest in Seoul.

While the apartments are glamorous enough for a fictional k-drama star to live in, the building's residents were not amused by the inconveniences they faced during the filming of a k-drama.

The building's residents recently voiced their displeasure at having their lobby used for drama scenes as it made it difficult for them to get around. In protest, the residents decided to boycott the drama. The production team apologized for the inconvenience.

The apologies were accepted and filming continues, but more visits to the site may create problems that slow down the drama's production. So, fans may want to wait until the drama wraps up to visit the location. The Trapalace apartments are located at 607-1 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. To get there, take Subway Line 3 to the Apgujeong Station.

The only drama location that you can currently visit, and also quietly read at, is the Flower Garden Manhwa Café, owned by Chun Song Yi's middle school friend. The café is a place where people can read manhwa and that's where Chun Song Yi goes to read after she gets a failing mark. According to blog author Manager Hyung, an expert in k-pop destinations, this one is located at 27-9 Myeongmul-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

The café is located in the Sinchon area. To get there, you can take Subway Line 2 to Sinchon-Dong. Go north on Yonsei-Ro to Myeongmul-gil.
