King the Land Filming Locations Worth Visiting: A Self-Guided Korea Travel Guide

Image
King the Land (킹더랜드) was filmed primarily in Seoul and Jeju Island, with additional overseas scenes filmed in Bangkok, Thailand. This guide covers only the South Korean locations — specifically those with real travel value for independent travelers. One important note: the "King Hotel" at the center of the drama does not exist as a single real building. The production combined the exterior of the Grand Hyatt Seoul with lobby scenes filmed at Parnas Hotel Jeju, and used CGI to complete the effect. Knowing this helps set realistic expectations before visiting any of the locations listed here.

Twenty-Five Twenty-One Filming Locations Worth Visiting: A Self-Guided Jeonju Travel Guide

Image
Twenty-Five Twenty-One (스물다섯 스물하나) was filmed primarily in Jeonju, Jeonbuk State, with a smaller number of scenes in other locations. This guide focuses only on places with real travel value — locations that are publicly accessible and worth visiting as part of a Jeonju trip. One important note: the drama is set in Seoul in 1998, but most of the filming took place in Jeonju's older neighborhoods, including areas near the Jeonju Hanok Village.

Hotel de Luna Filming Locations Worth Visiting: A Self-Guided Korea Travel Guide

Image
Hotel de Luna (호텔 델루나) was filmed across several locations in South Korea, primarily in Seoul, Mokpo, and the Incheon area. This guide does not list every reported filming location. It focuses only on places with real travel value — locations that are publicly accessible and worth visiting on their own terms. One important note: the Hotel de Luna itself — the mysterious hotel at the center of the drama — was a purpose-built interior set and does not exist as a real building. However, the exterior of the hotel was filmed at a real historical landmark in Mokpo, and several other real locations across Seoul appear throughout the series. Drama Info Director Oh Choong-hwan Writer Hong Jung-eun, Hong Mi-ran Genre Fantasy, Romance, Drama Episodes 16 Released July 13 – September 1, 2019 (tvN) Cast IU (Lee Ji-eun), Yeo Jin-goo, Shin Jung-geun, Bae Hae-sun Spoiler-Free Synopsis Jang Man-wol is the 1,300-year-old owner of Hotel de Luna — a mysterious hote...
