Discover the Stunning K-Drama Cafe on Jeju's West Coast!
In April, I finally visited this long-awaited cafe on Jeju Island, which is also a filming location for 'Yumi's Cells 2', located near the Mermaid Village in Hallim-eup, Aewol-eup! If you find Aewol-eup too crowded during peak tourist season, you can come here to enjoy a leisurely afternoon in peace.
Route:
1. From the city center or Aewol-eup entrance bus stop, take the blue bus 202 to Gwideok 2-ri (귀덕2리) or the next stop, Rasin-dong [East] (라신동[동]). Bus 202 is a fantastic route that circles the entire left half of Jeju Island.
2. Alternatively, take the red bus 102 from the city center to Aewol-eup and transfer to the blue line 202 to the aforementioned stops. Follow your phone's map for a ten-minute walk to reach the cafe.
3. Driving or taking a taxi is highly recommended. The route is a coastal road branching off from the main road, offering scenic views all the way.
We arrived at 5:30 PM with the intention of watching the sunset, and the scenery was breathtaking on a clear day! Inside, a male staff member (possibly the owner) warmly welcomed us when we mentioned we were fans of Jinyoung and the drama. He eagerly seated us at the table where Kim Go-eun and Park Jinyoung filmed their scenes and shared that Jinyoung is a very kind person. He also informed us about the recent release of a 'Cells' animated movie.
We ordered a hot latte, hot chocolate, and carrot cake. The latte was delightful, the chocolate was on the sweeter side, perfect for those with a sweet tooth, and the carrot cake was just right, not too sweet. After the excitement, we settled down to watch the sunset, sitting by the window, watching the sun go down, people and cars passing by, the tides rising and falling, surrounded by beautiful scenery, feeling truly happy!
After leaving the cafe, you can cross the road to the opposite coast, where there is a mermaid statue with a local Jeju dialect inscription about how the seawater here healed an injured mermaid. There are also several popular restaurants nearby for those looking to have dinner.
This cafe truly amazed me on this trip, and I will definitely visit again next time!
