Guardian: The Lonely and Great God — in the 2016 TV drama Goblin, it ranked first in TV topic popularity with 675,587 points, followed by Descendants of the Sun with 649,953 points. Its immense popularity truly earned it special recognition and sparked a wave of fan trips to filming locations. In response, the Korean government went all out by clearly marking every Goblin shooting spot at the actual sites — how amazing is that！ This time, as a KM correspondent, I visited the Goblin filming spots in Incheon/Suwon and Seoul, uncovering each iconic scene and its matching location — one by one！

First stop, Dal.komm Coffee — this place has filmed not only “Descendants of the Sun” but also “Goblin,” making it super famous！

The entrance directly advertises to attract drama fans.

But personally, I’m more into the food！ Although it’s a coffee shop, the sandwiches look pretty delicious.

Aside from coffee, they also serve desserts and savory items, so you can enjoy a little bite here too.

While we were snapping photos, we noticed a whole row of signed cups by the counter, but we couldn’t figure out whose signatures they were！

As soon as you walk in, you’ll see all kinds of souvenirs — from Descendants of the Sun to Goblin. I feel the Goblin series sells better, but both are pretty cute！

Can you tell whose autograph this is？

Initially, Descendants of the Sun was more popular, so the walls were covered with its posters.

Now Goblin is even bigger, but since the walls were full, they just posted the Goblin posters up top！

We only stayed briefly, sipping a warm glass of grapefruit juice — the rich Vitamin C gave an instant energy boost, because I was feeling cold (V纾?＜/p>

Dal.komm Coffee Songdo Central Park branch is right next to the park, so we walked over from there. It’s beautiful — I’ve been here before, back when I came for the triplets. They were filmed here too. If you’ve watched Superman is Back, you’ll definitely remember the scenes of Dad Song Il-kook struggling through the competition！

They’ve now added a hot seawater foot bath here — how unique！

Since the “Goblin Tour Route” is being promoted, there’s a big sign here for the Goblin route.

There are so many great photo spots among the displays！！！

They even offer free loaner items like suit jackets, hats, and red scarves for you to dress up as the main characters — I think that’s just awesome.

At the boarding area, the second floor is an observation deck. It’s really scenic — everyone should check it out. You can see the entire Songdo Central Park！ But today the weather wasn’t great due to smog, so the sky wasn’t very pretty.

Songdo Central Park itself is a nice sightseeing spot, and it’s a very pleasant place for a stroll — you might even run into the triplets！

Dolphin, dolphin — I saw dolphins here last time too, but the ground looks different now, everything has been repainted！

In one episode of Goblin, the main couple stays in a hanok — that location is Songdo Central Park. You can see traces of their walk here.

That night, they stayed in a hanok and had a barbecue — at Gyeongwonjae Ambassador Incheon, where they stayed in the most expensive room type, the Royal Suite, which costs tens of thousands per night！ And you need to book way in advance, with vacancies only available a month ahead.

This room type offers extreme privacy — it’s a traditional Korean-style courtyard house, spacious enough for four people, perfect for a group of friends. But since it’s pricey, the regular rooms are also great if you just want the experience～

The lobby is absolutely stunning — it’s a high-end hanok hotel.

Staying here also lets you enjoy such a beautiful hanok courtyard.

Renting a hanbok here for photos is also a great idea.

Even if you can’t sleep in the same room as Gong Yoo (????), walking the same paths and seeing the same views is a dream for many！ For fans of Goblin (and Gong Yoo), Incheon’s Songdo is a fantastic drama tourism spot — easily accessible by subway, don’t miss it！
