A Star-Crossed Romance: 7 Locations from "My Love from the Star"

🎬 About the Drama: "My Love from the Star" "My Love from the Star" is a fantasy romantic comedy that tells the extraordinary story of Do Min-joon (Kim Soo-hyun), an alien who landed on Earth in 1609 during the Joseon Dynasty. After living through 400 years of Korean history, he is only three months away from returning to his home planet when he meets Cheon Song-yi (Jun Ji-hyun), a blunt, Hallyu top star who happens to be his next-door neighbor. The drama became a cultural phenomenon, particularly for its "Chimaek" (chicken and beer) craze and its portrayal of a luxurious Seoul lifestyle. The filming locations were carefully selected to contrast Min-joon’s timeless, stoic wisdom with Song-yi’s vibrant, modern celebrity life. From the historic teahouses where Min-joon played Go (Korean chess) with his only friend to the grand theaters and towers that define Seoul’s skyline, these sites bridge the gap between the Joseon era and the 21st century. Fans fell in love with the show's perfect mix of fate, comedy, and high-stakes drama, making every location a landmark of Korean television history. 🏛️ [Curated Tour] 7 Stellar Sites of "My Love from the Star" 🏺 Category 1: Timeless Seoul (세월을 간직한 민준의 공간) Historical spots that reflect Do Min-joon’s 400-year journey through Seoul. - Hakrim Dabang: A legendary teahouse in Daehak-ro that has been open since 1956.
