K-Drama Filming Locations: Seoul, Incheon, and Gangwon Tour Routes

K-drama filming locations are the single most-asked travel question from international K-drama fans visiting Korea. The Quebec Canada scene from “Goblin”? Mostly Incheon Chinatown’s Freedom Park stairs. The Switzerland scenes from “Crash Landing on You”? Mostly Gangwon Province — Jeongseon and Pyeongchang. The revolving-door office building from “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”? Gwanghwamun D-Tower. The hopscotch playground from “Squid Game”? Filmed at Songdo, Incheon. This guide groups Korean K-drama filming locations into three lines — Seoul metro, near-Seoul day trips, and regional overnight loops — with one full overnight route at the end.

K-drama filming locations — Seoul metro line (half-day)

The most efficient half-day K-drama filming locations route in Seoul covers Gwanghwamun → Bukchon → Insadong. D-Tower (Extraordinary Attorney Woo) sits next to Gwanghwamun Square; Bukchon Hanok Village hosted scenes from Goblin and Personal Taste; the cafe alley near Anguk Station appears in dozens of romcom episodes. Add the Cheonggyecheon Stream walk in the late afternoon for the Goblin “first kiss” scene.

Three day trips capture an outsized share of K-drama scenes:

  • Incheon Chinatown / Songdo — Goblin’s “Quebec” stairs and Squid Game’s hopscotch playground; 1 hour from Seoul Station
  • Suwon Hwaseong Fortress — Mr. Sunshine + several historical dramas; pair with the night fortress walk
  • Nami Island — original Winter Sonata location, still active for Korean and international film crews

The Swiss countryside scenes most fans associate with Crash Landing on You were filmed across Pyeongchang and Daegwallyeong (Gangwon Province) — sheep ranches, alpine pastures, snow fields. Goblin’s Quebec beach is Jumunjin Beach in northern Gangwon-do. Both pair into a 1-night Gangwon route from Seoul via KTX in 90 minutes. For the Mr. Sunshine hanok era, Andong’s Hahoe Folk Village and Sunchang both featured prominently — a Sunchang + Jeonju overnight covers two dramas in one weekend.

K-drama filming locations — recommended overnight route

A clean 1-night route mixing the most-asked spots: Day 1 morning Seoul Gwanghwamun (D-Tower, Bukchon, Cheonggyecheon) → afternoon KTX to Pyeongchang → Daegwallyeong sheep ranch (Crash Landing on You) → overnight at Pyeongchang. Day 2: morning Jumunjin Beach (Goblin red door) → KTX back to Seoul → optional Songdo Squid Game playground in the evening. Total: 7 K-drama scenes in 2 days.

K-drama filming locations — booking tips

Most filming locations are public spaces and free to access. Two exceptions: D-Tower’s 14th floor (Attorney Woo office) is only accessible via the building’s public observation hours; Songdo Central Park (Squid Game backdrop) closes the playground area on Mondays. Bring the drama screenshot on your phone — local cafés and tour drivers in Seoul, Incheon, and Pyeongchang know all the major scenes and often help you find the exact angle.

K-drama filming locations: chase the show, not the country

The most satisfying K-drama filming locations trips focus on one or two dramas you actually loved, not on a checklist of every famous scene. Pick the show, find its 5–7 main locations, and build a route around those. The result is a more focused trip with stronger memories than rushing through 30 scattered spots in three days.
