For some time now Piran has been a very popular location for various film crews from India. Check-out the new teaser trailer for the Korean TV series
Dear my friends, filmed in Piran: >> http://bit.ly/1WAIRed
In March a South Korean series Dear My Friends was filmed in Piran. It is an important cooperation with the Slovenian Tourist Board and the tourist agency Happy Tours, which has been active on Korean market for quite some time. South Korea presents a remarkably promising market and last year there was an increase in the number of visitors from Korea.
The film crew with over hundred members prides itself with many famous Korean actors and one of them is Go Hyun-jung, who plays the main character and is one of the most popular and best paid Korean television actresses. The series will be aired on tvN channel in May and Koreans will certainly not be the only ones who will watch it. Their TV series are among the most watched in the whole of East Asia, especially in Taiwan, China and Japan. Large groups of fans of Korean pop culture (so called Hallyu or the Korean wave) can be found all over the world.
The crew will also be filming in Ljubljana and Bled but they will be staying longest in Piran and will shoot most of the scenes there because they were especially charmed by the small coastal town. The filming of a TV series is very important for the promotion of our destination in the East Asian market and is financially supported by the Portorož Tourist Board.
