Castle Praha(Prague)

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Hi everyone. I’m back with another picture of a Korean bar/restaurant but this time I’ve labeled this post under “Travels in Korea” instead of “Humor in Korean” because it’s not so much about ‘humor’ this time. :D

Here’s a pic of a small bar that’s located between the two subway stations 강남역 and 논현역 in Seoul. If you look at the name of the shop, it’s CASTLE PRAHA. And for those who travel to Korea and see this and wonder “Why Prague?” or think “The owner of this bar must like Prague very much”, I’d like to introduce to you a nice Korean TV Drama.

Here’s a link to the MV of the theme song of the drama :

And here’s the link to the official webpage of the drama :

The drama was such a hit in Korea in 2005, and from 2005 to 2006, Korea was one of the major countries that people visiting Prague were from, and they even made a new direct airline from Inchon to Prague because of the Prague boom. Interesting, huh? No wonder there are still a lot of shops and bars named after the city.

There was another Korean TV drama named “파리의 연인(Lovers in Paris)” that sent A HUGE number of people to Paris after the last episode was aired, but that’s another story. :-)

    I tried to watch “Lovers in Paris”, I think I got to episode 4 or 5 before I couldn’t stand it anymore….something about the plot turned me off. I forgot all about that one it was a long time ago.
