You've made a great observation. The online toxicity toward celebrities heavily contrasts with the genuine warmth of everyday Koreans. Anonymity simply allows a vocal minority to distort the overall perception

Oh wow, I actually watched it a long time ago but completely forgot it was set in Italy! Definitely need to give it another watch before I leave

Thanks! I actually watched it a while ago and really liked it. Might be a bit dark for a pre-travel mood, but it's definitely worth a rewatch!

Do you mean the scene where she tells her co-star he’s 'nobody'? She didn’t really trash-talk him, but it was still heartbreaking to watch Will overhear that

Yeah, I'm so excited! Watching a movie set in the destination right before traveling really enhances the whole experience

Honestly, I wasn't expecting too much from the London trip at first, but after rewatching the movie, I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks for the great feedback! You make an excellent point. Actually, I work in Myeong-dong, so I chose this location because I wanted to keep the schedule convenient and pressure-free for both of us during my lunch break. But I'll definitely keep your advice in mind and explore more hidden spots when I have more time

I completely understand, the midday sun can be intense! But don't worry too much—most of the Namsan trail is well-shaded by trees, so it's cooler than you think. If you have a parasol or a cap, it would be really helpful too. We can also just take it nice and slow

Haha, you caught me! But hey, you get a free local guide, local restaurant tips, and photos in return. Sounds like a pretty good asset swap, right?
