News Drama Set Design and Architecture
I've never had much of an interest in architecture or interior design but some of the buildings and sets are stunning, almost to the point where I stop watching the actors, lol. There are also some other lovely sets that just weren't to my personal taste, so they may not be on this list.

1. Secret Love
Korean Drama - 2014, 10 episodes
First story (eps 1 & 2) ML's home has exposed plaster, damaged walls etc, like it was abandoned or interrupted mid-renovation then furnished with opulent almost Louis XIV style furniture. A personal favorite. Also features a full wall window to greenspace.

2. My Love from the Star
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
The ML's home has a large tree growing in it and the rest is minimalist modern. Contrasted with a two story old world style library straight out of the late 18th century. The first drama home design that slapped me in the face and left me drooling.

3. Another Miss Oh
Korean Drama - 2016, 18 episodes
Adored the ML's home: industrial style with brick and leather. Would live there in a heartbeat.
-
4. The Heirs
Korean Drama - 2013, 20 episodes
Of course the house in Malibu in episode one. Although mostly for the windows.
-
5. Dear My Friends
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
One word: Slovenia. The location was divine and I loved the industrial yet quirky design of his apartment there.
-
6. Drama Special Series Season 1: White Christmas
Korean Special - 2011, 8 episodes
The design, while not stunning, fit exactly into the nature of the show and its imposing presence was almost a character unto itself.
-
7. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
The Goblin's house with all those cathedral windows were lovely, but the big draw for me was the exterior of the tea room and the endless cups of tea shelved there. Gave me chills every time.
