Kelly recounted her island trip in Korea during Spring 2007.
Nami island is an offshore island in Korea. To reach there, I had to take a ferry that lasted about 20 minutes. The beauty of this island was finally unearthed when a popular Korea drama “Winter Sonata” had its filming there, where such scenic and extremely romantic settings had resulted the main actors to fall in love in the show. The stretch of path shown below is left for your imagination on how Nami Island looks like during wintertime.
Now, this quiet place has become a rather blooming tourist attraction, not mentioning a must-go for couples. In Nami Island, love is really in the air.
Korean serial fans tend to go berserk whenever they visit Nami island as the trails of Winter Sonata are everywhere. From the positions they stood in the drama to the location of their first kiss, fans just can’t get enough of such thrills.
During my visit, I was instigated by my travel mate (who is a crazy fan of this drama) to burgle into the male toilet where the male actor, Bae Yong Joon, had previously used. Of course, I kept a very safe distance from her until we left the island.

Hi eunice i just want to ask if a friend of mind shall be staying in Myeondung what means of transportation (train/bus or ferry) will she take going to nami island?she wants to go there by herself…and approximately how long is the tip? Thanks
Sorry, I didn’t go Nami from there, no idea about this.
I went to Korean to meet my adopted son (in my dreams. He is of same age of my youngest son.) Bae Yong Joon but he isn’t included in our tour. Anyway, I enjoyed my tour last year.
I recently went on a hallyu marathon to find out what winter sonata was all about. Though I’m not crazy about the telenovela, I did fall in love with the location which I found out today was Nami Island. I would love to visit it one day….thanks for the pictures 🙂
Yes i’m agree, Nami island is be number one for tour destination in Korea. very beautifull. i’ve visited there on Jan 24, 2013. there is winter. i hope that I cat visit again in the other season
