From the narrow alleyways of Bukchon Hanok Village to the glossy cafes of Gangnam, Seoul is an open-air K-drama set. Here are the must-visit spots featured in your favorite dramas.
Why Seoul is K-Drama's Favourite City
Seoul has been the backdrop of hundreds of K-dramas over the past two decades. Its unique blend of modern skyscrapers, ancient palaces, and charming back-alleys makes every street feel like a scene waiting to be filmed. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning fan, walking through these locations feels like stepping right into your favourite drama.
Best time to visit: Spring (March–May) for cherry blossoms, or Autumn (September–November) for golden foliage. Both seasons look absolutely stunning in photos and match many iconic drama scenes.
Iconic Spots to Add to Your Itinerary
Start your day at Gyeongbokgung Palace in the morning when crowds are thin. Then head to Bukchon Hanok Village for the traditional rooftop views. In the afternoon, explore Insadong's art galleries and tea houses. End your day with a walk along Cheonggyecheon Stream as the city lights up.
