The drama that made 'chimaek' a global word left a location trail from a 1956 Daehangno coffee house to the then-brand-new DDP.
Where Do Min-joon teleports to Song-yi and finally confesses — the episode-15 kiss in the pastel village square.
💡 The park still keeps drama photo zones up — and Nami Island is on the same loop.
Namsan and the tower backdrop the leads' city-view date scenes.
💡 The plaza and love-locks terrace are free; only the observatory is ticketed.
Top-star Song-yi's fashion-show and event scenes — the drama helped make the then-new landmark famous.
💡 Free to roam; the LED rose garden at night is the shot.
The campus where Professor Do Min-joon lectures — campus-walk and lecture-hall scenes.
💡 Grounds are open on weekdays — be discreet around classes.
The Joseon-era flashbacks of Min-joon's arrival on Earth 400 years ago, filmed among the traditional houses.
💡 A full working folk village with costumed performances — allow half a day; countless other sageuk shot here too.
The vintage Daehangno coffee house where Min-joon meets lawyer Jang to talk through his secrets.
💡 Open since 1956 — order the Vienna coffee and aim for the window seat from the show.
A decade after broadcast, My Love from the Star remains one of the most-searched classic K-dramas across Asia, and its locations aged unusually well: Hakrim Dabang has been pouring coffee since 1956, Petite France keeps its photo zones, and DDP became a landmark partly on this drama’s back. The penthouse interiors were sets (the exterior used a private Seocho residence), so the list above is the complete visitable map.
My Love from the Star was filmed across Seoul and nearby regions. Key spots include Petite France in Gapyeong (the confession kiss), N Seoul Tower (the city-view dates), Dongdaemun Design Plaza (Song-yi's fashion shows), Incheon National University in Songdo (Professor Do Min-joon's campus), the Korean Folk Village in Yongin (the Joseon flashbacks) and Hakrim Dabang, a Daehangno coffee house.
The episode-15 kiss, where Do Min-joon teleports to Song-yi and confesses, was filmed in the pastel village square at Petite France, at 1063 Hoban-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun. The park still keeps drama photo zones up, and Nami Island is on the same loop.
Yes. Hakrim Dabang, where Min-joon meets lawyer Jang, is a real vintage coffee house in Daehangno that has been open since 1956. It is at 119 Daehak-ro (2F), Jongno-gu, one minute from Hyehwa Station Exit 3 — order the Vienna coffee and aim for the window seat from the show.
No. The penthouse interiors were sets, and the exterior used a private Seocho residence, so it is not open to visitors. The visitable map is the public locations like Petite France, N Seoul Tower, DDP, the Songdo campus, the Korean Folk Village and Hakrim Dabang.
Take the Gyeongchun Line or ITX to Cheongpyeong Station, then the Gapyeong City Tour bus or a 10-minute taxi to Petite France. Since Nami Island sits on the same loop, many visitors combine the two in one day trip from Seoul.
