‘This Romance is Force Majeure’ ... K-Drama Showcases the Charm of the City Pohang!

‘This Romance Is Unstoppable’ Production Support, Promoting Pohang’s Attractive Hidden Tourist Spots

Pohang City Hall, Cheolgilsup, Yeongildae Rose Garden and Various Urban Tourist Attractions Introduced

Pohang City is making efforts to promote itself once again as a ‘drama-like city Pohang’ through new drama production support, as the number of tourists visiting drama filming locations has steadily increased following the popularity of dramas set in the region.

JTBC drama 'This Romance is Uncontrollable'.

The JTBC drama ‘This Romance Is Uncontrollable,’ which premiered on August 23, depicts the uncontrollable romance between Lee Hongjo (Jo Bo-ah), a green space department civil servant who obtains a forbidden book that was thoroughly sealed 300 years ago, and lawyer Jang Shinyu (Rowoon), a victim of that forbidden book. The drama set the protagonist’s occupation as a civil servant and filmed mainly at the Pohang City Hall building.

Unlike previous Pohang-supported dramas that were mainly filmed in coastal villages, this drama highlights the beautiful urban areas of Pohang, showcasing a different side of the city.

Since the story involves the green space department, key scenes were filmed at the Pohang Greenway. Additionally, the drama features lesser-exposed attractions such as Yeonorang Seonyeo Theme Park, Yeongildae Rose Garden, and Igari Anchor Observatory, further promoting Pohang’s diverse charms.

Park Sangjin, Director of the Convention and Tourism Industry Division, stated, “Following ‘When the Camellia Blooms’ and ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,’ I hope ‘This Romance Is Uncontrollable’ will be an opportunity to further establish Pohang’s reputation as a K-drama city not only domestically but also overseas.” He added, “We will continue to explore various marketing strategies to invigorate Pohang’s tourism industry.”

‘This Romance Is Uncontrollable’ is a 16-episode drama airing every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30 PM on JTBC and will also be available on Netflix.
