Here's something we're not ashamed to admit: We're still not over Twenty-Five Twenty-One. Set in endearing suburban locations around Seoul, the Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk-led K-drama was a youthful narrative of love lost and love remembered. It arrested our attention with every episode, and its bittersweet ending only had us tearfully clamoring for more.

Unfortunately, it's been confirmed that the show will have no follow-up seasons. Aside from endless rewatches on Netflix, the next best thing fans can do is to visit the very spots where Na Hee-do and Baek Yi-jin's story unfolded. With tourist visa applications to South Korea having just resumed, now's the best time to do so. Sounds like a good idea?
Here are 6 Twenty-Five Twenty-One filming locations to visit on your next trip to South Korea:
1. Hanbyeokgul Tunnel
Where you saw it: The couple's romance started, and sadly, ended in this tunnel. It was where they made a pact to always be happy whenever they're together, but it was also where Hee-do caught Yi-jin crying in shame. Towards the end of the series, a matured Hee-do visited the very spot, reminscing on the the times she gleefully ran through it with her friends.
Location: 2 Kirin-daero, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si
2. Sori Mill
Where you saw it: Every time a new edition of Full House came out, Hee-do would head straight to this rental shop. Before he became a reporter, Yi-jin had a part-time job here, too.
Location: 63 Seohak 3-gil, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si
3. Crossing Guest House
Where you saw it: This was the very house where Hee-do grew up with her parents. On their first encounter, Yi-jin accidently broke one of their statues when he threw a newspaper over their fence. In the present day, Hee-do's daughter, Kim Min-chae, "ran away" to her grandma at this home after quitting ballet.

5. Jeonju Jeil High School
Where you saw it: Before she entered Yu-rim's world a.k.a. Tae Yang High School, Hee-do was stuck in this all-girls school that had its fencing team cut due to the IMF crisis. For some temporary joy, she would turn one of the public faucets on backwards, creating a fountain of water.
Location: 15 Gwanseon 5-gil, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si
6. Ahyeon Supermarket
Where you saw it: Before heading home, Hee-do and Yi-jin would occasionally stop by this shop for ice cream, banana milk, or a hoppang.
