Jangsado Island, beautiful island where Cheon Song Yi from "You who came from the Stars" fell in love.

Jangsado Island is island located at Tongyeong, the South Gyeongsang Province coastal city
It's little far from seoul, about 370km which would take you about 4~5 hours by bus + 40 min boat ride from Tongyeong port.

This island is also one of filming location for the SBS's hit drama "You who came from the Stars" which Do Min Joon had teleported Cheon Song Yi to in episode 19.
After drama aired, more tourists are visiting this island including foreign tourists from other asian countries nowadays.


This island is filled with trees with red Camellia flowers and there are some iconic structures which allow you to confirm this filming location for drama. It is pretty scenic too, with breathtaking views that overlooks the sea and other islands near it.

Even though this island is now uninhabited, houses and school where island residents used to live more than 30 years ago are still left intact for visitors to see.
Old house 'Island ahgijip' furnace still has smoke rises and you can see old organ at jangsado elementary school classroom.

The highlight of the island would be the Camellia Flowers which blooms from November till April, with its peak in Jan-Feb, which I believe was near the time of filming too. This island is a popular place for hiking and there are many routes that you can explore.
