When traveling in Korea, besides shopping, you should definitely visit Korean drama filming locations. Here are four incredibly dreamy spots in Korea: Nami Island in Gangwon Province, as well as Petite France, Morning Calm Garden, and Herb Island in Gyeonggi Province. The scenery at each park rivals Japan’s most stunning landscapes and they are among the most frequently used filming locations for Korean dramas.
