Dream Cinema is a Korean movie theater located in Seodaemun, Seoul. Originally called Hwayang Theater(화양극장), it opened in 1964 and is today the city's last remaining single screen theater. In recent years the theater has been limited to screening free previews or films that are long past their opening dates for old aged audience.

Unfortunately this theater building would be closed December 31, 2011 on account of redevelopment plan for a major hotel. But this spot will always remain a pleasant memory for us.
