I'm pretty sure for those korean drama fans...Yongin Everland is not a strange name rite? Yongin Everland aka Everland Resort aka Samsung Everland is a theme park in Yongin, a suburb of Seoul, South Korea. It is South Korea's largest theme park. Everland is operated by Samsung Everland, which is a subsidiary of the Samsung Group.

This theme park is divided into five areas known as Global Fair, Zootopia, Magic Land, European Adventure and American Adventure.
Okie..before I go further explaining about what is it in each area..you need to get your Q Pass first! Q Pass is ticket to cut queue!..hahaha..nola..basically with this Q Pass, you can reserve yourself a spot on any ride, giving you time to enjoy the rest of the park. Don't have to wait any longer in the queue lo...something like cut queue rite? And this pass applies to the 3 famous attractions which I will talk about it later..
- Amazon Express (in Zootopia)
- Safari World (in Zootopia too)
- T-Express (in European Adventure)
My smart tour guide..immediately brought us to take the Skyway - which is a cable car in American Adventure area direct to European Adventure area and told us to enjoy European Adventure and Zootopia first.

When Song Yi did not have a job, Hee Won introduced her to the amusement park that she is in charge of. There she found her childhood friend and ex-crush Hyun Sung, who Hee Won has "stole" when they were kids.
