K-pop Destinations: “I Need Romance 3” Dines At Fradia Restaurant

K-dramas offer plenty of romance so it's a given that filming locations include some real-life romantic spots, such as Seoul's Botanical Garden, Jeju Island and the walks along Seoul's Han River.

The new romantic comedy "I Need Romance 3," starring Kim So Yeon and Sung Joon, starts with a reunion and a relationship break-up. That break-up takes place in one of Seoul's most romantic dining spots, Fradia Restaurant.

It's where Kim So Yeon's character, the 33-year-old home shopping network executive, meets her boyfriend for dinner. She expects to hear a proposal but instead learns that he is done with her.

When she's remembering the history of her previous break-ups, she stands before the restaurant, framed by the city's twinkling skyline.

Fradia is a popular restaurant that in real life is known for more than k-drama break-ups. It's based in a center that is also a sophisticated wedding venue and frequent home to concerts and fashion shows. And because of the restaurant's stunning Han River views more than one real-life proposal has taken place there. The glittering lights of Seoul's skyline make a romantic backdrop for the presentation of a sparkling engagement ring.

Kim So Yeon's character may want to return there when a suitor worthy of her really wants to marry her. The food is tasty.

The restaurant's waterfront dining options have been describes as Koreanized Italian food with plenty of pasta, basil and garlic bread. The restaurant is located at 121-9 Hangang Park, Jamwon Dongm Seochu-gu. For more information, visit the restaurant's Facebook page, www.fradia.co.kr or call 82 2-3477-033. To get there, take Seoul Subway Line 3 to Jamwon Station.
