Movie Theaters in Korea

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to see another movie at a movie theater. We just love movies so we go see them often, usually at Megabox. There are several different movie theaters in Korea, the biggest of them being Lotte Cinema, Megabox and CGV. Jeonju has all of these three.

This is the street downtown where all the movie theaters are. It is usually quite crowded, especially on a weekend, but it was really cold outside so maybe that's why it was so empty.

My boyfriend likes Megabox the most, that's why we mostly go there. He says that CGV is not so clean and the toilets are really dirty there. But we went there once and I didn't think it was bad at all. But by now, I've also gotten used to Megabox.

Some theaters have some special seats or special movie halls available, but not all of that is available in Jeonju. For example, CGV has this cool seats for couples called Sweetbox. It looks really comfortable, like a sofa for two. But unfortunately we don't have it in Jeonju, so we haven't had a chance to try it out yet :( Apparently there is a premium Sweetbox too, but I'm sure tickets are A LOT more expensive for that.

Maybe we'll try them out when we go to Seoul next time. What we do have in Jeonju is Table M theater in Megabox. It's not all that special, but you do have A LOT more space for your legs, and a table to put all the snacks and other stuff on it. A ticket is a bit more expensive, but I'd say it's worth it. We've been there several times already.

A regular tickets usually costs around 8000krw (8$). Which is almost the same price as in my country, I think. But one of the cool things in Korea is discount ^^ Almost everywhere you go, you can get discounts with a special bank card, membership card or point card. At Megabox we always get 4000krw discount with our T-membership card, which is another reason why we usually go to Megabox.

Last time we saw Dumb and Dumber To and it was quite funny :) We wanted to see Taken 3, but it looks like it hasn't started showing yet. These are some of the movies we went to see together this year:

Lucy

The Maze Runner

Faults are in the Stars

Interstellar

Annabelle

Gone Girl

Wolves

Into the Storm

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Transformers: Age of Extinction

Well, I'm sure we saw other movies too, but these are the only ones I can remember at the moment. Luckily you can watch all the movies with subtitles and not dubbed.

And of course, you can't watch a movie without a snack :) We usually get some popcorn - half original for me and half caramel for my boyfriend (there is also garlic popcorn, but we never eat that). We tried the fried chicken there once too, but it wasn't that good. Sometimes we take fried potatoes with our popcorn when we're really hungry too. And then we usually spend almost more money on snacks than we do for the tickets. Kind of how you spend more money on coffee than you do for dinner - sounds crazy, but it happens often in Korea, especially for students. Luckily we don't drink coffee, so we don't have problems with that :)

At this time there is a special snack combo available too - block combo. For 11000krw you get large popcorn, large drink and 150pieces Megabox block. We just had to get it :)

It's like Lego and since my boyfriend and I both really loved Lego when we were young, we couldn't resist. We built them as soon as we got home and this is how it looks like :)

After the movie we went to Mango Six again for some more of that yummy frozen yogurt. This time we had some honey bread with it too. It was soo yummy, but we were waiting for it for more than 15minutes, so when we finally got it, we forgot to take a photo of it. Anyway, this is how it looks like  And it's really really yummy ^^
