Couple Or Trouble?


In the fall and winter of 2006, Koreans were saying “Ggo ra ji ha go neun! (Look at you)” just about everywhere you went, repeating the words from the drama “Couple of Trouble’s” female leading actress. This drama is a remake of 1987 Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s “Overboard,” where a rich, arrogant woman meets a poor construction contractor and falls in love, in the midst of all their quarreling. The fast-paced yet comical drama became quite popular, consequently turning its film locations of Namhae Island into famous tourist sites. Namhae, situated in the Aegean Sea, is just 5 hours away from Seoul by car turned into an un-island-like island in 1973 with the construction of a bridge connecting it to Korea peninsular. Although the drama was filmed all around Namhae Island, its film location for the main neighborhood was taken at the “German Village”. The main male character, Jang Cheol-Su’s house is still presently exists untouched. Furthermore, other film locations within the German village such as the “Mulgeon Port” set have been preserved. Let’s now travel to “Couple of Trouble’s” film locations on the beautiful island of Namhae.
