KOREA
1. Hallasan National Park, Jeju Island
Kicking it off in the location where it all started. In the series, we see Yoon Se-ri crash landing in the North Korea DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) as a result of a paragliding accident. This iconic scene is actually set in the beautiful Hallasan National Park in Jeju Island, South Korea. It’s popular among tourists and tours and hikes are offered for tourists to enjoy!
2. Taean, South Korea
The iconic North Korean village home to the ever-charming Captain Ri and the comedic village women is located three hours from Seoul and is open to the public! According to blogger, Mee in Korea, the trip to this fictional North Korean village was a long one, but you’ll have access to Ri Jeong Hyeok’s home, the village laundry area, Young Ae’s home and the rest of the village. It’s actually as if you’re walking through the village set!
3. Commodore Hotel in Busan, South Korea
Did anyone notice that every time our favorite characters visit Pyongyang, they only stay at this one particular hotel? Fortunately you, too, can book a stay here! The fictional Pyongyang hotel where Yoon Se-ri meets Gu Seung Joon coincidentally meet is actually the Commodore Hotel in Busan!

6. Yeongjongdo Seonnyeo Bawi Beach in Incheon, South Korea
In the show, both Cho Cheol Gang and Ri Jeong Hyeok sneak their way into South Korea through a secret underground tunnel that apparently takes anywhere from 12-24 hours to crawl through.

8. Byeolmaro Observatory in Yeongwol, South Korea
In the first episode of the series, Yoon Se-ri is set to test out a new product for Seri’s Choice by paragliding over a scenic landscape in Seoul.

SWITZERLAND
9. Lake Brienz, Isetwald
Ri Jeong Hyeok’s sad, yet beautiful, piano scene was shot in the southern shores of Lake Brienz, Switzerland. This is located at the small village of Iseltwald and the lake landing where the piano scene was filmed is situated in front of a private residence next to the port of Harbor Iseltwald.
10. Sigriswil Panorama Bridge
This attraction is definitely not for the faint of heart. In the series, Ri Jeong Hyeok and Seo Dan visit Sigriswil Panorama Bridge, among other top sites in the city, and as a woman (who just happened to be Yoon Se-ri) to take their photograph on the bridge.
11. First Flieger, Grindelwald
Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Se-ri’s tearful reunion was filmed against the gorgeous landscapes of Grindelwald – and it made the entire scene ten times more beautiful! You can experience your own paragliding adventure at First Flieger if you’d like to soar through the same stunning scapes.
12. Lake Lungern in Obwalden
One of the final scenes in the entire series shows our hero and heroine together at last in their home in Switzerland. You’d think a place this beautiful can’t possibly exist, but it does and you can visit it at Lake lungern, Obwalden.
13. Victoria Jungfrau
