Are you in South Korea or planning to visit there anytime soon? What does visiting your favorite K-drama scenes sound like to you? Imagine touring the filming locations where your favorite K-drama couples left unforgettable memories. Surely, the feeling will be nostalgic. Find some of the spots that should be on your list below:

Namsan Seoul Tower (N Seoul Tower)

Namsan Mountain is the place for most K-drama couples. It has a complete 360° view of Seoul and unending “Locks of Love” that make you think the whole city has been in a K-drama relationship. If you visit without a partner, don’t worry; you can just bring fried chicken and beer like Cheon Song Yi did in My Love From the Star.

Bukchon Hanok Village (Seoul)

This village of traditional Korean houses feels like stepping into the past, which is why it’s a favorite filming spot for historical and fantasy dramas. Your imagination can be much more vivid at this spot where Gong Yoo dramatically appeared with a sword. However, keeping things low would be really appreciated by the real residents while recreating your favorite scene because it’s not a free K-drama amusement park.

Deoksugung Stone Wall Road (Seoul)

This gorgeous stone-lined walkway is often used for romantic strolls or heartbreaking goodbye scenes. Legend says couples who walk the entire path together will break up; no wonder it’s so popular in dramas where breakups are inevitable. If you visit, maybe walk only halfway with your partner… just to be safe.

Gyeongbokgung Palace (Seoul)

Korea’s grandest palace is practically a K-drama celebrity in its own right. From zombies roaming the palace in Kingdom to swoony royal romances, it has hosted all kinds of genres. For the extra feeling, you can wear a hanbok while visiting, so you can be the main lead, minus the palace politics and evil kings’ mothers.

Nami Island (Gapyeong)

With its dreamy tree-lined paths, Nami Island is the ultimate backdrop for slow-motion walks and stolen glances. Thanks to Winter Sonata, this spot became ground zero for the Korean Wave. If you go in autumn, the scenery might be beautifully distracting enough that you might miss your chance for a proper K-drama-style confession that you wished for.

Jumunjin Beach Breakwater (Gangneung)

This is the exact place where Ji Eun Tak summoned Goblin with her iconic red scarf. If you have the thoughts to recreate that moment, bear in mind that no immortal will show up with a sword in their chest, but you can enjoy the dramatic wind blowing your hair towards a destiny scene like Eun Tak.

Petite France (Gapyeong)

This colorful French-inspired village looks like it was built specifically for whimsical K-drama moments. It’s where Cheon Song Yi and Do Min Joon had their adorable date in My Love from the Star.

Ihwa Mural Village (Seoul)

There are several bright murals and stairway arts. It’s perfect for characters to trip, fall, and land right into each other’s arms. Well, real life rarely works out like dramas, so maybe watch your step since no one might catch you.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP, Seoul)

Known for the curves and bright lights, it’s a spot for stylish drama scenes. Fashion shows and late-night walk shootings are popular here. You might not bump into your K-drama soulmate here because most people are just shopping or taking Instagram shots.

Wolmido Island (Incheon)

This fun island is perfect for amusement park dates and seaside strolls. In dramas, it’s usually where characters win or lose stuffed animals at carnival games, creating a lasting love. In real life, you might just lose money on claw machines with no lasting love but that’s still pretty authentic K-drama energy.

The nostalgic feeling when you visit these places would be enough to seal the memories forever. It’s not enough to just go for vacations; choosing locations that would make it worthwhile is the best for your travel experience.

Have fun exploring like Dora!
