Sunshine Studio (논산 선샤인스튜디오)

Sunshine Studio (Nonsan) is a large permanent outdoor film set in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do, originally built for the Korean historical drama Mr. Sunshine — a 2018 tvN series set in the late Korean Empire and Japanese colonial period that became one of the most acclaimed Korean historical dramas of the 2010s. The set reproduces a late-19th-century Korean town environment with detailed period architecture — Western-influenced colonial-era buildings, traditional Korean houses, period storefronts, and street-scape settings that capture the visual texture of the show. The set is open to the public, with photo zones, period-costume rentals, and themed cafés. For travelers who watched Mr. Sunshine, walking the set is a chance to step into the actual filming locations. Best paired with broader Nonsan-area itineraries.
