Is it the Folk village at Suwon?

Hmmm… this looks suspiciously very un-Korean.
Got a higher-res version?

Gaeseong (or Kaesong) in N.K.

It looks like a historical TV drama set turned tourist village. There are actually villages near Shanghai that look like that, only more run-down. Homes align the canals, and people use boats to get around.

You all said you wanted a harder Korea Finder so hopefully this one is a bit more of a challenge. This picture is in South Korea. Sonagi is actually the closest and on to something.

7:43 am on October 26th, 2007 7
No not Bucheon.

Is it the Seoul Film Studio Complex in Namyangju?
12:50 pm on October 26th, 2007 9
No not Namyangju either.

Movie set of Chilhwaseon maybe?

Ok, thanks to a great tip from an anonymous “Nomadic” expat (lol), I’m going to say that it’s Wan-do, where the drama Haesin was filmed.

Rob got it. I wonder who your “Nomadic” expat could possibly be?
It is the Hae-shin set in the middle of Wando island. A really good place to check out if on the island. The set is supposed to represent Yangzhou, China and is set below some spectacular peaks that form the spine of the island.
Was this one hard enough for everyone?

Peace of cake, GI Korea
Especially once I saw the hints that it was a movie set location. “Google is your friend”

IS this second time that you did Korea Finder in Wando?

ciao

CPT Kim yeah I didn’t realize it when I posted it but you are right I had another one in Wando a few weeks back.
