Korean dramas have taken the world by storm—not just with swoon-worthy leads and gripping plots, but with picture-perfect backdrops that linger in fans’ memories.
The best part? Many of these locations are real, and you can visit them on your next trip to South Korea.
Start your journey at Nami Island, made famous by Winter Sonata. Its tree-lined paths are stunning year-round, especially in autumn and winter. Head east to Jumunjin Breakwater in Gangneung, where Goblin’s unforgettable beach scenes were filmed. Strike a pose where Ji Eun-tak summoned her mysterious protector.
Adventure lovers will enjoy the dramatic Hantangang Sky Bridge, seen in Crash Landing on You. It offers sweeping views of the North Korean-like landscapes featured in the show. For sageuk (historical drama) fans, Daejanggeum Park in Yongin is a must. This sprawling set has been used in everything from Moon Lovers to The Red Sleeve.
In Seoul, Ihwa Mural Village brings to life scenes from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and My ID is Gangnam Beauty, while Seokchon Lake, with its cherry blossoms and skyline views, recalls romantic moments from My Love From the Star. For a taste of modern fantasy, visit the Lotte World Tower, featured in The King: Eternal Monarch.
Finally, don’t miss Hallasan Mountain in Jeju Island, a key location in Our Blues. Jeju itself is a K-drama goldmine, with many shows filmed on its volcanic shores and quiet villages.
From palaces to seaside cliffs, South Korea’s K-drama locations promise not just nostalgia but adventure, romance, and a deeper look into the culture behind the screen.
