Kidding!! Mmm.. actually that was my thought if we can see all beautiful places through K-drama, there's no need to visit Korea right? Totally wrong!!

Apart from drooling over gorgeous actors and actresses, enjoy breathtaking scenery in Korea feels REALLY REALLY different from watching through drama. It feels like: "Hey, I've been watching this tower, and now I'm here" Like a dream!!

Here are some dramas and how to get there:
