This site becomes important especially in the last episodes of Hwayuki/A Korean Odyssey (화유기) (tvN, 2017-18). In episode 17, Son Oh-Gong (Lee Seung-Gi) meets up with the Priestess (Lee Se-Young) here. In episode 19, this is where Ah Sa-nyeo (Lee Se-Young) wakes up the dragon to meet his owner Kang Dae-sung (candidate for the presidential election). Sam-jang sacrificed herself to protect the world, Winter General also pushed himself to protect the world. Son Oh-gong fights against the dragon and looses his memory after the big fight.
Right at the beginning of Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (달의 연인-보보경심 려) (SBS, 2016), we see Hae-Soo (IU) heartbroken at this place. When she tries to save a boy from drowning, she is herself drawn into the lake and ends up in Goryeo.
This is also where Sim Chung (Gianna Jun) and Dam Ryung (Lee Min-Ho) have a date in episode 2 of The Legend of the Blue Sea (푸른 바다의 전설) (SBS, 2016-17).
This place was also seen in Can You Hear My Heart?/Listen to My Heart (내 마음이 들리니) (MBC, 2011).

POCHEON ART VALLEY ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE MUSEUM [포천아트밸리 천문과학관]
Han Song-yi (Jung Chae-yeon) follows her senior to this observatory in episode 9 of My First First Love/Because It’s My First Love (첫사랑은 처음이라서) (Netflix, 2019), after he had offered to give her a ride to the bus stop. She recalls Yoon Tae-oh (Ji Soo) telling her that there are rumors of how this senior brings girls here to ‘advance’ with them, and as a precaution, reaches out to Seo Do-hyun (Jung Jin-young) and Tae-oh to let them know where she is, before her phone battery dies. As the senior attempts to harass Song-yi into going out with him, Tae-oh reaches the observatory in time; Song-yi manages to get out of the car, and Tae-oh punches that senior in the face.
Note that this observatory is not located in, or part of Hansung University, as the show makes it out to be.

Pocheon Art Valley [포천아트밸리] is an abandoned quarry that was transformed into a park for art and culture in 2009 - situated around 2.5 hrs by public transport north of Seoul. More precisely, it is located in the village of Giji [Giji-ri/기지리] in Pocheon’s Sinbuk Township [Sinbuk-myeon/신북면], around 40 min by public transport south from Pocheon’s city center (hence its name). Some of its attractions include an Astronomical Science Museum, a sculpture park, and two outdoor performance halls. In 2019, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism -announced through the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO)- selected Pocheon Art Valley as one of the ‘100 Must-Visit Spots in Korea’ for 2019-2020. Pocheon Art Valley is also one of the 26 attractions of the UNESCO Global Geopark [유네스코 글로벌 지오 파크] -formerly known as Hantan River Geopark [한탄강지질공원]- that counts since July 2020 among the 161 UNESCO Geoparks worldwide that are deemed geologically significant areas.
