“Her Private Life” Filming Locations in Seoul

Her Private Life is a South Korean drama starring Kim Jae Wook (Ryan Gold) and Park Min-young (Sung Deok-mi) aired on TVN from April 10 to May 30, 2019, under the direction of the director Hong Jong-chan and created by Kim Hye-young. 

This drama is about a curator (Park Min-Young) of Cheum Museum of Art and a secret fan of White Ocean’s Cha Shi-an (One). She manages the site “Shi-An My Life” while Ryan Gold is an artist who had suffered Stendhal syndrome, so he plans to retire but he became the director of Cheum after Sung Deok-mi’s boss was investigated for embezzlement.

When a fan (Cindy) was stalking Cha Shi-an she accidentally took a picture of Sung Deok-mi wearing the jacket she gave to his idol. The rumor broke after she posted it online saying that Cha Shi-an was dating another woman. To kill the rumor Ryan Gold and Sung Deok Mi decided to have a fake relationship to prove that Cha Shi-an and Sung Deok-mi are not dating. While everything was not going into their proper places, one’s secret can’t keep anymore. Will Ryan Gold can accept Sung Deok-mi’s secret and vice versa?
