Going back to early childhood, we see Ae-ra and Dong-man playing together at Orangdae Shrine in Gijang-eup in episode 2 with Ae-ra as a leader, both of them interchanging traditional gender roles. Their complexity transcends the screen right from the start - in everyday scenes like this one when they cross an overhead bridge in episode 1. We meet both of them as bickering adults that support each other no matter what. We see them falling in love progressively (Who can’t get behind such a storyline?! Squee!), and the following locations are some sort of milestones in this process - and also its evidence of sorts. I like that this drama gives us a lot of insights into how our best friends turn into lovers. Our friends pass by it from time to time on their way back or from home. The concrete wall in the background belongs to Humanist. This is a fake bus stop that does not exist in real life. The gym Dong-man trains at: Busan’s Beyond Garage Fight For My Way (2017, episode 7) Namil Bar where our friends always hang out: A rooftop in Beomcheong-dong, Busan half an hour away from Namil Villa. In reality, this is Hansung Apartment Buildings, located in Busan. Where our four friends live: Namil Villa. Other recurring places - especially those that our friends pass by on their way home - like the yellow-blue house, the building with the Superman drawing, and the bus stop are located in Hongdae, Seoul. The apartment building, the private rooftop bar, and Dong-man’s gym are all located in Beomcheong-dong, Busan.

Instead of the usual listings, where you can see all filming locations on a map, I wanted to try something new and list all the sites thematically. There are also a lot of locations and occasions where our fantastic four don’t give up and believe in their dreams even though they might come with hurdles. Then, there are places of frustration: frustrations in love, in the job, with your family and in-laws, or caused by one’s social background. But there are also places that are important for Choi Ae-ra (Kim Ji-won) and Go Dong-man’s (Park Seo-joon) love to grow, for Baek Seol-hee (Song Ha-yoon) and Kim Joo-man’s (Ahn Jae-hong) love to stay strong. Of course there are the essentials, the places that are important for our fantastic four in Fight For My Way (KBS2, 2017). All screencaps belong to KBS2.Ī show’s narrative becomes so very evident when starting from where the scenes play out! “Wherever I am is the major league” - Choi Ae-ra (2017)ĭisclaimer: This blogpost is NOT PERMITTED to be reproduced/reposted on other websites, whether in part or in full, without prior consent or permission from KDL.
