"The moment you fell in love with me, you lost my love..." This line from the Korean film "Scandal", spoken by Cho Won (played by Bae Yong-joon) to Lady Soo (played by Kim Do-yeon), is considered one of the coldest lines in cinema, leaving many fans heartbroken. This scene was filmed at the Namsangol Hanok Village, specifically at the traditional Korean house (hanok) of Prince Consort Park Yeong-hyo.

So, what type of architecture qualifies as a hanok? With this question in mind, I looked up some information online and found the answer.
