Filming Location 1: South Gyeongsang Province

Do you remember where the alien male lead first landed on Earth? That filming spot is Korea’s second-largest island—Geoje Island, located in South Gyeongsang Province. It is a scenic destination where captivating natural beauty meets a long history, featuring famous sites such as Haesangjeong, the pebble beach, and the Outlying Island Maritime Park. Also situated in South Gyeongsang Province is Tongdo Fantasia, the largest theme park in the area, which served as the filming location for the scene where the second male lead, Lee Hwi-kyung, confesses his love to the female lead, Cheon Song-yi. The park offers around 30 different attractions, including a swimming pool, natural lake, mini zoo, wild plant garden, and grass sledding slope.

Filming Location 2: Incheon

The scenes where the female lead attends classes and the male lead teaches are set at Incheon National University, a comprehensive national university located in the heart of Songdo International City in Incheon’s Free Economic Zone. Fans can visit this international top-tier university to relive scenes from the drama. The male lead, Do Min-joon, comes from outer space, traveled to Korea 400 years ago, and has lived through to the modern day. The time-travel storyline naturally includes museum settings. The Incheon Municipal Museum, known for its local historical exhibits, was transformed into the university museum in the drama. (Image source / courtesy of ko.wikipedia.org)

Filming Location 3: Gyeonggi Province

The name Gwangwon Natural Rest Forest in Gyeonggi Province might be unfamiliar to many travelers, but it is one of the important filming locations in the drama. The camping scene between Do Min-joon and Cheon Song-yi takes place here, with its pristine snowy landscape so beautiful it captivates the heart — and makes for a great leisure camping spot. Gyeonggi Province is also home to the renowned Petite France, where the Little Prince Memorial Village served as the filming site for the emotional final scene of Episode 15. Here, visitors can step into the whimsical world of The Little Prince and experience European-style culture, architecture, French crafts, and more in a cultural village right in Korea.

Food Filming Location: Dongdaemun, Seoul

The café often visited by Professor Do and his lawyer friend is Hyorim Tea House, a 60-year-old establishment near Dongdaemun. This old coffee shop exudes a classic, vintage charm and a unique sense of elegance. For the shoot, photos of foreign artists on the wall were replaced with portraits of beloved Korean artists, and a latticework screen was added down the middle of the hallway—clear signs of thoughtful set design. The female lead’s favorite udon noodles were filmed at a popular small eatery named “Pot Udon,” located near City Hall. Though small in size, this shop frequently appears on TV food programs and is quite famous. Fans might want to go and “taste” it for themselves. (Image source / courtesy of gabrielowl.wordpress.com)

For accommodation at these various filming spots, Hotels.com recommends the Pullman Hotel & Resort in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province; the Incheon Royal Hotel near Incheon Metropolitan City and the Munhak Sports Complex; the Bundang Partner Guesthouse in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province; and the Ramada Seoul Dongdaemun in Dongdaemun, Seoul.
