    Da-rim keeps coming back

    Jung-won runs this neighborhood photo studio, where parking officer Da-rim brings photographs and gradually becomes part of his days. Most of the film’s central studio scenes were shot here.

    Visit the restored exterior and exhibition. The present building recreates the filming set; it is not an untouched 1998 interior.
