Journey through breathtaking autumn landscapes featured in your favorite K-dramas and live out your ultimate romantic cinematic fantasy this season.
Autumn is a great season to explore Korea, since the intense summer heat has passed and the crisp autumn breeze sweeps through the air. So why not visit some of your favorite K-drama locations this autumn and live out your ultimate main-character fantasies during Korea's most magical season?
🍂 4 Places We Recommend During This Fall Season
K-Drama Featured: Winter Sonata
Why & How to Get There:
Nami Island was chosen as the filming location for Winter Sonata thanks to its pristine natural walkways and picturesque island beauty. These natural settings made the drama more romantic and captured the heart-breaking moments and milestones in early K-dramas.
To get to Nami Island from Seoul, you can take the ITX from Yongsan Station to Gapyeong Station, then hop on a short local bus or taxi to the ferry wharf. It is definitely worth the trip to see why the producers chose this magical island as the filming destination for one of Korea's most classic K-dramas.
K-Drama Featured: Boys Over Flowers and My Love from the Star
Why & How to Get There:
Located in the heart of Seoul, Namsan Park and N Seoul Tower are easily accessible.
What makes this location special is that it is elevated, so it offers wonderful views across Seoul, especially with the colourful fall leaves. This is one of the reasons why producers chose it to shoot Boys Over Flowers and My Love from the Star.
The beautiful cityscape offers the ultimate romantic setting for emotional confessions, dates, and romance. If you don't fancy the walk up, then you can take the cable car or even the shuttle bus (No. 02, 03, or 05) to the top of the mountain.
So why not visit Namsan Tower and Namsan Park and have your very own romantic K-drama moment this fall?
K-Drama Featured: Goblin and Crash Course in Romance
Why & How to Get There:
Seoul Forest is one of the Dojeon Media team's favorite locations in Seoul. It is the perfect place to visit to experience tranquillity in the heart of the city, while at the same time soaking in the colourful fall leaves and foliage.
Directors love using natural urban landscapes in romantic dramas, and this is why Seoul Forest was chosen as the shooting location for Goblin and Crash Course in Romance.
What is more romantic than taking a crisp stroll in the park while holding hands or getting close to someone that you love?
Seoul Forest is easily accessible by subway from all over Seoul. Just take Subway Line 2 directly to Seoul Forest Station and exit right into the park.
K-Drama Featured: Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin)
Why & How to Get There:
Odaesan National Park is a must-visit location. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin) is one of K-drama's best-rated romance dramas! Our writer Lewis Hooper visited Odaesan to see one of the Goblin filming locations back in 2021, and said that it was worth the trip despite the rain at the time.
Producers chose this tranquil and historic location to film at, thanks to its breathtaking temple grounds and walkways.
Legend also has it that the park was chosen because of its deeply mystical, destiny-altering moments.
To get there from Seoul, take an express bus from Dong Seoul Terminal to Jinbu, and then transfer to a local bus heading straight toward Woljeongsa Temple. Although this route might seem long, it is for sure worth the trip and the memories!
