The iconic opening paragliding sequence โ€” where Se-ri crash-lands into North Korea โ€” was filmed in the Grindelwald area of the Swiss Alps.

๐Ÿš† How to get there

From Zurich or Geneva, take a train to Interlaken Ost, then a connecting train to Grindelwald (about 35 minutes). The journey from Zurich takes roughly 2.5 hours total. Swiss Travel Pass covers the full journey. Best visited Aprilโ€“October for green meadows; Decemberโ€“March for snow.

Lauterbrunnen Valley
Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
SwitzerlandRomantic scenes

The stunning waterfall valley near Grindelwald was used for several romantic outdoor scenes between Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok. The 72 waterfalls and sheer cliff walls make it one of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe. The village of Lauterbrunnen itself is a 10-minute train ride from Grindelwald.

๐Ÿš† How to get there

From Grindelwald, take the train to Lauterbrunnen (about 45 minutes via Zweilรผtschinen). Alternatively, take the cable car from Grindelwald to Mรคnnlichen and walk down into Lauterbrunnen โ€” one of the most spectacular walks in Switzerland.

Gangwon ProvinceNorth Korean village scenesโญ Fan favourite

The North Korean village where Se-ri hides โ€” with its charming houses, communal well, and the soldiers' barracks โ€” was actually built as a film set in Yanggu, near the real DMZ border. The set became so famous that it was preserved and turned into a tourist attraction after the drama ended. You can walk through the exact same village streets.

๐ŸšŒ How to get there

From Seoul's Dong Seoul Bus Terminal, take an express bus to Yanggu (about 2.5 hours). The filming village (์–‘๊ตฌ ์‚ฌ๋ž‘์˜ ๋ถˆ์‹œ์ฐฉ ์ดฌ์˜์ง€) is about 10 minutes by taxi from Yanggu Bus Terminal. Open daily โ€” check current hours before visiting as they occasionally change seasonally.

Imjingak Park, near the real Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea, was used for several border-crossing scenes. The park itself is a powerful and moving place โ€” with a bridge that used to connect North and South, freedom bells, and memorials to the Korean War. It's one of the most historically significant places you can visit near Seoul.

๐Ÿš† How to get there

Take Subway Line 1 from Seoul to Dorasan Station (the last station before North Korea), or take the Gyeonguiโ€“Jungang Line to Munsan and transfer to a bus to Imjingak. The whole journey from central Seoul takes about 1.5 hours. Free entry to the park; some areas require a guided DMZ tour.

Several key Seoul scenes โ€” including Se-ri's wealthy lifestyle and rooftop moments โ€” were filmed in the Yeouido area of Seoul, featuring the iconic 63 Building and the Han River.

Take Subway Line 5 to Yeouinaru Station (Exit 3) and walk to the Han River park. The 63 Building is a short walk north. The Yeouido area is also famous for its cherry blossoms in spring โ€” one of Seoul's best spots.
