If you had asked me when I was younger what my favorite place in the world was, I would have told you Rock Mill Park. It was a small park no more than three miles from my house with a quaint pavilion and cement trails that wound through the woods.

K-dramas are filling many world travelers with a curiosity and desire to experience Korean culture for themselves.
