64402410_10214563133093418_3075482839211311104_o

Before loving KPop, we fell for South Korea because of the birth of Koreanovelas or Korean Dramas in Philippine television. And part of my plans during my trip is to visit some of the memorable filming locations that Korean Drama addicts like me know.


Here are some of the places that were engraved in our mind and heart along with the beautiful story of each drama.


N Seoul Tower 

N Seoul Tower (formerly known as NamSan Tower) is a must-visit site in Seoul.  This is perfect place to have a spectacular panoramic view of Seoul under your feet.

Location:
Myeongdong Station (Seoul Subway Line 4), Exit 3.
Walk about 10 minutes and take the Namsan Cable Car.
Or Chungmuro Station (Seoul Subway Line 3 or 4), Exit 2. Take Yellow Circuit Bus 2

Hangang Park / Banpo Bridge


Hangang Park is a representative people’s park located by Hangang River (한강). It was created through the “Hangang River Comprehensive Development Project” in the 1980s, covering a huge area that is dedicated to the citizens, providing areas for sports and relaxation. You can see many people strolling or jogging along the trail paths, in-line skaters, bicyclers, and soccer fields or basketball courts. 

Banpo Bridge, the upper half of a double deck bridge, is one of the major bridges in central Seoul that crosses the Han River. It is mostly known for its Rainbow Fountain, the largest bridge fountain in the world. 200 light spots color the fountain after sunset.
