Top Activities for K-drama Fans

If you're a fan of K-dramas, you've probably seen these scenes at least once! While traveling in Seoul, you can experience the iconic scenes that frequently appear in dramas firsthand. Become a star in a K-drama and enjoy Seoul to the fullest.

During the late evening hours, the main characters of the story grow closer as they walk along the Deoksugung Stone Wall Walkway. The soft lighting creates a romantic atmosphere along this path, which is perfect for walking with your loved one. However, there is a superstition that couples who walk together here will break up, but it's just a myth. In reality, it's a lovely spot where many couples enjoy romantic dates.

There is a popular K-drama scene where the main character goes to a Jjimjilbang (Korean sauna) with his girlfriend and playfully makes double buns with towels and smashes eggs on each other's heads. In Jjimjilbang, double buns, eggs, and Sikhye (rice punch) are musts. The peeled hard-boiled eggs after a hot sweat in the steam rooms taste wonderful. And if your throat feels dry after eating the cooked egg yolks, you can take a sip of Sikhye. Its sweetness will surely quench your thirst.

Another popular scene in the K-drama is the beer cheer scene, where people clink their beer mugs as they bite off pieces of fried chicken in the evening. It's how popular Chimaek (chicken with beer) is among Koreans. The Chimaek scene featuring the main character Cheon Song-yi in the drama "My Love from the Star" became immensely popular. If you want to feel the atmosphere of Chimaek from the drama, order draft beer at a chicken joint.

In K-dramas, there is always a red-tented Pojangmacha (street bar stall) that the main character turns to during difficult times. In front of the main character sits a bowl of clear soup and a green bottle of Soju (Korean distilled alcoholic beverage). While drinking, someone comes and takes the drunk character away. This is the no. 1 scene in K-drama to express solitude. Let's drink Soju at Pojangmacha and forget all the hardships we've been through.

The Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) shop is a popular location that brings back fond memories of the main characters' childhood and school days. It is a scene that represents nostalgia and happiness. The key point of the old-school Tteokbokki is its simple ingredients. Though it is made only with rice cakes, fish cakes, and green onions, it never fails to delight children's taste buds.

School uniforms are an essential part of teen dramas. There are two major places where you can try on Korean school uniforms. If you want to wear traditional Korean school uniforms, the Ihwa-dong Mural Village in Hyehwa is recommended. If you want to try on modern-style school uniforms, Lotte World is the place to go. Put on a traditional school uniform and take pictures in the Mural Village, or have fun riding amusement park rides in Lotte World with a school uniform on.
