At my gym they always turn on the popular drama "East of Eden" (에덴의 동쪽), which had some scenes filmed at Suncheon's Drama Set. I have no idea what's going on, but it looks interesting. There are yakuza, geishas, old-timey settings, old-fashioned clothes, some bad English, some really bad English, and women doing mediocre Maggie Cheung impersonations. A pretty typical weekend for me, from the sounds of it.
One of the songs they use in the background sounds awfully familiar, but unfortunately I can't find a clip which features it now. If you've seen the show, especially the episodes they've had on the past few days, give a listen to the theme song to Wong Kar Wai's film In the Mood For Love:
*cough* The song used in "East of Eden" sounds pretty damn close, but nowhere near as pretty. As if you'd expect anything different from a drama that stole the name of one of the great American novels and a classic American film.
