하회 옥연정사는 서애 류성룡(1542~1607)이 평소 가깝게 지내던 탄홍(誕弘)의 도움을 받아 지은 것으로, 학문을 연구하고 제자를 양성하던 곳이다. 서애 선생은 원지정사를 지은 뒤에 마을이 가까워서 번거롭고 그윽한 분위기를 누리지 못하여 강 건너 부용대 기슭에 터를 잡아 놓았으나 가세가 빈한하여 정사를 세우지 못하고 있었다. 이러던 것을 탄홍(誕弘) 스님이 그 뜻을 알고 건축을 맡고 재력을 부담하겠다고 자원하여 1576(선조9년)에 착공하여 10년만인 서애선생 45세 때인 1586(선조19년)에 겨우 완공하였다.

Byeongsan Seowon originated from Pungak Seodang (豊岳書堂), an educational institution in Pungsan, Andong dating back to the mid-Goryeo period. It was a place where local Confucian scholars gathered to study. During the late Goryeo period, when King Gongmin traveled through Pungsan amidst the Hong Geon-jeok rebellion, he was deeply moved to see the students devoted to learning despite the turmoil and generously gave many books and a grant of land to encourage them. After 200 years, as more houses and roads appeared nearby causing noise, the scholars sought a new location. Seoae Ryu Seong-ryong, after the death of his father and while residing in Hahoe, recommended Byeongsan as the best site. Following his advice, in 1575 (8th year of King Seonjo), the Seodang was relocated and renamed Byeongsan Seowon. In 1614 (6th year of King Gwanghae), disciples including Ubok Jeong Gyeong-se, Changseok Lee Jun, Dongni Kim Yun-an, and Jeongbong An Dam-su built Jondeoksa to commemorate Seoae's scholarship and virtue, enshrining his spirit tablet. The spirit tablet was moved in 1620 (12th year of Gwanghae) to Yeogang Seowon (dedicated to Toegye Yi Hwang), but was returned to Byeongsan in 1629 (7th year of King Injo). There were debates over whether to enshrine Seoae's tablet in both Yeogang and Byeongsan Seowons or in only one, but following the precedent of Zhu Xi, it was deemed acceptable to honor it in two seowons in the same area. In 1662 (3rd year of King Hyeonjong), the spirit tablet of Seoae’s third son, Suam Ryu Jin (1582–1635), was also enshrined. Byeongsan Seowon played a vital role in local education and produced many scholars. It was one of the 47 seowons that survived the 1868 order by Heungseon Daewongun to abolish seowons.

Hahoe Village is a typical clan village where the Pungsan Ryu (柳) family has lived for generations, embodying the beauty of traditional Korean houses. It is also the birthplace of prominent Joseon Dynasty Confucian scholars Gyeomam Ryu Un-ryong and Seoae Ryu Seong-ryong. On April 21, 1999, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom visited on her third day in Korea, making it even more famous as a place of Korean tradition. The name Hahoe (河回) originates from the Nakdong River flowing eastward in an S-shape, surrounding the village. To the east is Hwasan, a branch of the Taebaek Mountains, whose ridges extend to the village forming low hills. Houses are arranged facing lower ground around the hills, resulting in their orientations varying in all directions (east, west, south, and north). At the village center stand large tile-roofed houses of the Ryu family, surrounded by well-preserved thatched-roof houses. The Nakdong River flows leisurely in front of the village, with the strikingly steep Buyongdae cliff, an endless white sandy beach, and dense pine forests creating a magnificent landscape. In front of Buyongdae, the waterway opens again, allowing the use of ferries. Hahoe Village offers the Hahoe Byeolsingut Talnori mask dance as a permanent performance and holds the annual Andong International Mask Dance Festival every autumn. Nearby attractions include Bongjeongsa Temple, Gosan Seowon Academy, Gwiraejeong Pavilion, Gye-myung Mountain Natural Recreation Forest, Hakga Mountain Natural Recreation Forest, and Waryongsan Mountain, offering various sights. Notably, on July 31, 2010, Andong Hahoe Village and Gyeongju Yangdong Village were inscribed as 'Historic Villages of Korea' on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list. With their inclusion, Korea's world heritage sites number ten, following Seokguram and Bulguksa, Haeinsa Janggyeong Panjeon, Jongmyo Shrine (1995), Changdeokgung Palace, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress (1997), Gyeongju Historic Areas, Gochang, Hwasun, and Ganghwa Dolmen sites (2000), Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes (2007), and Joseon Royal Tombs (2009). Representative local foods in Hahoe include Andong soju, Heotjesatbap (a banquet-style rice dish emerging from the many renowned seowon academies), Andong salted mackerel, and Andong noodles. ◎ Travel Information to Experience the Charm of Hallyu - In the drama , numerous sparks approach while sliding down a rope from a 64m cliff.
