4 Iconic K drama Filming Locations in Seoul

N Seoul Tower
Overlooking the city from the top of Namsan Mountain, N Seoul Tower is one of Seoul’s most distinctive landmarks and a popular romantic spot for local and foreign lovebirds. It’s common for couples to add their own padlock to the hundreds of colorful lovelocks that have been left behind over the years.You can cuddle for warmth as you ride the cable car up to the tower like Jan Di and Jun Pyo in “Boys Over Flowers” or you can take the scenic route via the Sam-Soon Stairs (named after “My Name is Kim Sam-Soon”, the K-drama that made it famous) and through Namsan Park.

Naksan Park and Ihwa Mural Village
Known as the Montmartre of Seoul, Naksan Park gets its name from its rolling hills, which are said to resemble the humps of a camel (“nakta” in Korean). Cutting through the park is an ancient fortress wall that you can walk alongside on the walking paths. The gentle hills offer a mild workout, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes!
Just next to Naksan Park is Ihwa Mural Village, a hillside village that’s full of murals so pretty, you won’t be able to resist posing for some photos. It’s no surprise, then, that it’s also a well-loved spot for those filming K-dramas. The village is also filled with charming cafes for you to rest your tired feet.

Sanmotoonge Cafe
If you’re a huge fan of the wildly popular series, “The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince”, then you won’t want to pass up the chance to visit the cafe that stood in as the home of Choi Han-Sung. Dubbed as the most picturesque cafe in Seoul for both its antique decor and breathtaking views, it’s also a bit of a challenge to get to, as it’s located in the quiet mountainside neighborhood of Buam-dong.
However, once find it, you’ll half expect Han-Sung’s fluffy dog, Terry, to come bounding out of the house to greet you! If it’s a pleasant day, grab a table at the patio, where you can enjoy your coffee while appreciating the mountain vistas.

Korean Folk Village
Step back in time and discover ancient Korea at Korean Folk Village, also known as Minsokchon, a living museum located in Yongin. Here, you’ll be immersed in traditional Korean culture that dates back to the late Joseon period. You can get hands-on by taking part in cultural classes on shaman faith or seasonal customs. Or be awed by the various cultural performances, from martial art on horseback to a traditional wedding ceremony.Visitors can also enjoy traditional Korean foods, like jeungpyeon (steamed and fermented rice cake), injeolmi (rice cake coated with bean powder), bukeo-gui (grilled dried pollack) or pajeon (green onion pancake).
