Did you know that the famous korean drama, Sarang-bi was filmed in Daegu? Korean wave stars, Geunseok Jang and Youna were the main actors in this drama! The film was mostly taken in Keimyung University Daemyung Campus and Serabi Music Dabang(Korean Traditional style cafe). Keimyung University is already well know for it's beautiful scenery and gardening and many korean films and drams were taken here. Serabi Music Dabang was built as a studio set for the drama and now it's opened to public as a real Dabang. I recommend to go these places to take pictures and make good memories.
