3. Nami Island
Before K-dramas took over Netflix, Winter Sonata had viewers dreaming about South Korea, and Nami Island was one of its most recognisable backdrops. Its tree-lined paths and picturesque scenery are especially dreamy in autumn and winter, making it easy to see why it became synonymous with classic K-drama romance.

5. Jeju Island
Jeju Island has long been a favourite filming backdrop for Korean dramas, but Our Blues really puts its coastal beauty and slower pace front and centre. Think blue seas, quiet roads, colourful villages, and plenty of opportunities to simply slow down. Basically, the perfect place for your own K-drama "leave Seoul and figure out your life" episode.

6. Pohang
If Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha made you want to pack your bags for the fictional village of Gongjin, Pohang is where you can get pretty close to the real thing. Several locations around the coastal city were used for the drama, including Cheongha Market and the iconic seaside scenery. Wander around the filming spots, grab some local seafood, and pretend Chief Hong is about to appear around the corner.
