Suwon Hwaseong Museum & Art Museum: Explore Netflix's Thrilling Filming Spots

I recently dove into a nail-biting, heart-pounding series on Netflix.

A psychological thriller starring Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook, titled The Boy in the Last Row.

As Heo Mun-oh's obsession with Lee Kang's writing intensified, I found myself on the edge of my seat, almost tempted to look up spoilers. Then, in episode 4, a location flashed across the screen that looked incredibly familiar!

It was the outdoor area of Suwon Hwaseong Museum, where Heo Mun-oh observed Ahn Eun-ju, and the interior exhibition halls of Suwon Museum of Art, which served as a backdrop.

Suwon Hwaseong Museum is a place I adore in every season. From spring through fall, the lush, drooping weeping willows create a stunning landscape. Following the waterway, you'll encounter the picturesque Hwahongmun Gate, Yongyeon Pond, and Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion, making it truly breathtaking.

Seeing it appear unexpectedly in the series brought a rush of excitement!

The Suwon Museum of Art was also a delightful surprise, as I'd thoroughly enjoyed an exhibition there just last fall (Fall 2025).

It was the collaborative exhibition by artists Chae Ji-min and Ham Mi-na, titled If You Come at Four O'Clock, I'll Be Happy from Three O'Clock, where purity and a dreamlike atmosphere coexisted.

These were some of the captivating artworks Ahn Eun-ju and Kim Soo-hoon admired in the drama.

The exhibition was a striking blend of Chae Ji-min's surreal landscapes, objects, and paintings, alongside Ham Mi-na's works that expressed pure sensitivities like curiosity, fear, and joy held within. It struck me as a uniquely fitting location for The Boy in the Last Row, a series where imagination and reality intertwine in a captivating chaos.

While that particular exhibition has concluded, the museum is currently featuring its 2026 Collection Exhibition, Blanc Black Panorama, a captivating black-and-white themed display that offers a different, yet equally compelling, experience.

Thanks to The Boy in the Last Row, I'm already planning my next trip to the Suwon Museum of Art and Suwon Hwaseong Museum soon.

If you're curious about the exhibition spaces featured in The Boy in the Last Row, why not plan a trip to Suwon? You won't regret it!
