From Crash Landing on You to Goblin: 5 K-dramas that will inspire you to travel and relive the scenes that made your heart flutter
From paragliding in Switzerland like Son Ye-jin in Crash Landing on You to dancing all night in Cuba like Song Hye-kyo in Encounter – where will your Korean drama obsession take you?
Korean television series have a way of making you feel so many things. Your heart will flutter at romcoms, you’ll cry buckets over melodramas, and you’ll gasp with suspense during thrillers. You’ll crave Korean food and snacks, and you’ll itch to see those places in the world where Korean drama characters you love have been. Here are some things you can add to your travel bucket list inspired by K-dramas.
1. Crash Landing on You – go paragliding in Switzerland
The hit romcom has probably made you curious about so many things like North Korean villages, chicken and beer, and maybe the other filming sites of the drama like Mongolia and Taean. You’ve probably started dreaming of travelling to Switzerland and retracing Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin’s footsteps. Dare to see the breathtaking sights by paragliding? Book it in First Flieger. You can also check out the idyllic Lake Brienz and the Sigriswil Panorama Bridge.
2. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin) – see the majestic maple trees of Canada
Make sure you add Canada to your list of places to go. As shown by the goblin played by Gong Yoo, it’s a wonderful place to explore with someone you love. Take long walks in the serene parks, share delicious meals, and have fun shopping. If you want to see Guardian’s film locations, head to Quebec. Visit Château Frontenac, stroll through Parc du Bastion-de-la-Reine (the goblin’s family cemetery), see that red door at Petit Champlain, and have a picnic with a view of the Fontaine de Tourny.
3. Encounter – dance the night away in Cuba
