Day 06 (Gyungju-Muju Tirol) Yeoreum Hyanggi (Summer Scent)
¡®Summer Scent,¡¯ which aired in 2003, is producer
Yun Seok-Ho's third work, based on the four seasons.
Following the tremendous popularity of his previous
TV series ¡®Autumn in My Heart¡¯ in 2000 and ¡®Winter
Sonata¡¯ in 2001, ¡®Summer Scent¡¯ has the summer season
as its backdrop. Just as in ¡®Autumn in My Heart'
and ¡®Winter Sonata,¡¯ this TV drama employs the magnificent
scenery of Korea as an important motif. Also, top
stars including Song Seung-Heon and Sohn Ye-Jin
played the leading roles, which elicited considerable
public interest even before the drama aired.
Synopsis Art director Min-Woo (played by Song Seung-Heon)
lost his fiancee in a car accident. Later, on a
trip to the mountains, he meets florist Hye-Won
(played by Sohn Ye-Jin) and falls in love with her.
Hye-Won had received a heart transplant, and coincidentally
it was the heart of Min-Woo¡¯s late girlfriend.
From the first moment they meet, Min-Woo and Hye-Won
are attracted to one other and the attraction continues
to deepen. But Min-Woo is also loved by Park Jeong-A
(played by Han Ji-Hye), while Hye-Won is the object
of Park Jeong-Jae¡¯s affection (played by Ryu Jin).
Adding to the tragic twist of fate, Jeong-A and
Jeong-Jae are brother and sister. The destinies
of these four are sadly and ironically intertwined.
Min-woo and Hye-Won do not act on their feelings
however, out of consideration for Jeong-A and Jeong-Jae.
Meanwhile, Hye-Won learns that she had received
the heart of Min-Woo¡¯s late fiancee and tries to
convince herself that Min-Woo is still emotionally
attached to the dead woman. Even though they are
in love, they cannot commit to a relationship because
of Min-Woo's feelings for the dead fiancee as well
as for others members of their group who are concerned
for them.
When problems arise with Hye-Won¡¯s new heart, she
is hospitalized. Min-Woo blames himself. Wishing
Hye-Won and Jeong-Jae a happy future together, he
leaves Korea. As Hye-Won¡¯s condition worsens and
she feels there is no hope of survival, she lets
Min-Woo know that she is dead. While he is abroad,
Min-Woo learns that Hye-Won died, which causes him
great heartache. He is not aware that Hye-Won has
received another heart transplant, this time an
artificial one, and miraculously recovers. A few
years later, Min-Woo returns to Korea. Outside a
concert hall, concert-goers hold umbrellas in the
pouring rain. As people climb up and down the stairs,
Min-Woo and Hye-Won accidentally meet. The two feel
their hearts beating again and realize that their
feelings of love were true. And this time, Hye-Won¡¯s
heart is her own - not the heart of Min-Woo¡¯s late
girlfriend.
Drama Review The entire drama series of 20 shows is available
for review to all members of KBS Internet homepage.
A film on how the drama was created and shot is
also available, as well as "no goods.¡± Click!
Just as its name implies, Summer Scent was filmed
in verdant locations such as Boseong Tea Garden,
Korea Botanical Garden, and Deogyusan National Park.
Most beautiful between spring and summer, these
filming locations are visited by many more tourists
since the drama aired.
Boseong Tea Garden After their first meeting on the mountain,
Min-Woo and Hye-Won meet again by chance. In a memorable
scene, the two stroll through a green tea field.
Boseong Tea Garden is most popular for its expansive
green tea fields and for the walking path lined
with cedar trees reaching 20 meters high. Don¡¯t
forget to taste Ujeoncha at the cost of only 1,000
won at the tea shop. Ujeoncha is the best quality
tea in Korea, made of baby leaves picked before
April 20.
Korea Botanical Garden Korea Botanical Garden, which, in the drama,
served as the house of Min-Woo¡¯s mother, grows about
1,300 species of wild Korean plants. In a lovely
scene, Hye-Won, who loves flowers, walks through
the fields of blossoms. Korea Botanical Garden gives
out flower seeds to all visitors who buy an admission
ticket. Various wild plants can also be purchased
at the shop.
Deogyusan National Park In Deogyusan National Park, Min-Woo and
Hye-Won meet for the first time. In an impressive
scene, Min-Woo rests on a huge, tree-shaded boulder
with Deogyusan Mountain in the background. Deogyusan
is well-known for its beautiful waterfalls and rivers
that flow into the valleys.
Muju Resort At Muju Resort, Min-Woo, Hye-Won, and Jeong-Jae
remodel the existing buildings into a nature-friendly
rest area. In the drama, the resort serves as the
team¡¯s work area. In real life as well, the resort
is unique, with beautiful buildings and a splendid
natural environment that could very well be an illustration
from a children¡¯s storybook. Since the drama aired,
even greater numbers of tourists visit the site.
Our Journey continues to Muju Tirol, a gift of nature
in Alps style filled with live romance and sentiment
of a mountain resort. When guests enter their rooms
they immediately smell the fine scents of the Austrian
larch tree from which the rooms are made, giving

bath. Various leisure sports using nature will entice
