Jeju Island has appeared in countless Korean dramas as the ultimate romantic getaway. From black lava beaches to misty Hallasan trails, here's your complete guide to Jeju's drama filming spots.
Why Jeju Island is K-Drama's Favourite Escape
Jeju Island, Korea's largest island, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its volcanic landscape, pristine beaches, and lush green fields. For K-drama directors, it's the perfect location for pivotal romantic moments, healing storylines, and dramatic confrontations against breathtaking natural backdrops.
Travel tip: Rent a car on Jeju — public transport is limited. Most filming locations are spread across the island and a car gives you the flexibility to chase sunrises and sunsets at different spots. The Sunrise Highway (성산 일출봉 방면) is especially stunning in the early morning.
