1. Dragon Hill Spa
Do you guys remember this hilarious date from the drama; My Roommate Is A Gumiho? Elsa-Lamb couple?
Dragon Hill Spa (traditional Korean Bathhouse, Jjimjilbang) is open 24 hours and all year round. It is a perfect late-night spot to hang out with your special ones and a great place for the heat, cold, or rain. Besides, it also offers you a wide range of amenities, such as a Net cafe, arcade center, and even a karaoke room.
2. A Day At Han River (한강)
Tell me, how to not fall in love with the character of Park Seo Joon from the drama, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? Yeouido Hangang park along Han River takes the spotlight if we're talking about K-drama filming staples. You can visit the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival in that park during the spring season.
Another exciting activity you can experience here is the Eland Cruise which offers a vibrant view of Seoul City at night with a stunning firework display.
3. Lock Your Love At N Seoul Tower (Also Known As Namsan Tower)
It is the iconic Namsan tower where Goo Joon Pyo and Jan Di (Boys Over Flowers) were supposed to have their date; Son O Gong and Jin Seon Mi (A Korean Odyssey) embraced their love, Ju Kyung waited for Suho (True Beauty).
It is an iconic Seoul landmark that provides a panoramic view of the city. It is an observation and a communication tower located at the top of Namsan Mountain.
One of the best activities for couples is to hang a love padlock from the fence as a symbol of their eternal love. Who knows, you might run into your own Jun Pyo or Suho while visiting here?
4. Lotte World Adventure
Remember those heart-breaking scenes where the second lead choked us with their last goodbyes; Han Seo Jun (True Beauty) and Choi Gun (Clean with Passion For Now)? Lotte World Ice Rink it is!! NO CAP -_-
Lotte World is an inclusive recreational space operated by Lotte Group. Its flagship amusement park – Lotte World Adventure, is Korea's most giant indoor amusement park (Ateen-2 friends' day out a scene, Love Alarm, and many more dramas got shot here).
Also, you can get high on love at Lotte World Tower (123 floors), which is accessible via a double-deck elevator, which travels at a whopping 600 meters (1,967 feet) per minute.
5. Sogeumsan Suspension Bridge
Oh, Bro, who got you crying like that? The Sogeumsan Mountain Suspension Bridge in Wonju where the mighty Ko Moon-Young got scared to cross the overpass. It is the longest and largest pedestrian overpass in Korea, with 200 meters and 100 meters above ground which is a long hanging walkaway over a canyon. Do you think you are courageous to cross this enormous suspension bridge?
6. E-World, Daegu
Weightlifting Fairy fans would have a soft spot for this place – after all, E-World is where Bok Joo and Joon Hyung held hands for the first time.
Daegu's E-World is a European-themed park that features lighting displays, flowers, rides, exhibitions, and restaurants. To sum up, it is an all-in-one date place. You can also visit the 83 Tower, where you can get the stunning bird's eye view from the observatory.
7. Jumunjin Beach Breakwater
One of the most iconic scenes from Goblin, where Eun Tak first summons Kim Shin on her natal day. Since then, fans have been crowding to the beach to recreate the scene with the red scarves and buckwheat flowers.
Located in the northern part of Gangneung, Jumunjin Beach is a shallow beach with clear blue water.
The small bus stop on Hangho Beach is the filming location of the world-famous K-pop group BTS album cover 'You Never Walk Alone.
8. Forest Of Wisdom
Do you recognize this library that gets featured in most of the Kdramas? IFYKYK. Situated in Paju Book City, Gyeonggi-do, the Forest of Wisdom Library is called an Instagrammable bibliophilic haven. Its floor-to-ceiling wooden shelves contain 500,000 books spanning multiple genres. It doesn't sell its books, nor can they be borrowed; instead, the visitors can only read the books inside.
9. Bukchon Hanok Village
In the drama The Heirs, Eun Sang meets Kim Tan outside of a dreamcatcher shop is situated in this village, but did you know the actual store sells egg tarts?
The Bukchon Hanok Village is a traditional Korean house (called hanok), which holds over 600 years of Korean dating history back to the Joseon era. If you wish to explore the conventional Korean homes and their culture that you have been watching virtually in your favorite dramas, we insist you take a tour of this Hanok village in your rented Hanboks.
10. Get Lost In Nami Island
I have reduced the best for the last. Namiseon Island is famous for being one of the iconic K-drama Winter Sonata filming locations. The romance between Yu Jin and Jun Sang stole the hearts of many, and there's even a statue of Yu Jun and Jun Sang on the Island!
It boasts of the gorgeous natural landscapes that make this getaway island picturesque. I think winter is the best season to visit the Island. Imagine walking through the beautiful tree-lined road with snowflakes flickering. All you can see is a romantic whiteness.
Who is chopping the onions? Because I can't stop my rolling tears. Someone, please take me to these beautiful places ASAP.
