Director: Lee Jung-hyo
Network: tvN / Netflix
Episodes: 16

If there is one K-Drama that defines the global Hallyu wave of the last decade, it is undoubtedly Crash Landing on You (사랑의 불시착). This wasn’t just a drama; it was a cultural reset that gave us the real-life fairy tale marriage of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin (“BinJin”).

The story of a South Korean chaebol heiress who accidentally paraglides into the DMZ and falls in love with a stoic North Korean army captain captivated millions. But beyond the chemistry, the show was a visual masterpiece. From the glitzy streets of Seoul to the “North Korean” villages (filmed in rural South Korea) and the ethereal landscapes of Switzerland, the cinematography was breathtaking.

Are you ready to cross the borderline? Here is your ultimate guide to tracing the footsteps of Ri Jeong-hyeok and Yoon Se-ri.

The Journey: Episode-by-Episode Locations

1. Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Korea (울프강 스테이크하우스)

Before the crash, Yoon Se-ri lived a life of cold opulence. We meet her dining at this high-end steakhouse in Cheongdam-dong, brushing off a scandal with an idol star. The restaurant captures the essence of her pre-crash life: expensive, impressive, but devoid of genuine warmth.

Located in the heart of Gangnam, this is an actual branch of the famous New York steakhouse. The grand entrance with the red carpet makes you feel like a CEO the moment you step in. It’s a bit pricey, but for the dry-aged steak and the chance to sit where Son Ye-jin sat, it’s worth the splurge.

2. Byeolmaro Observatory (별마로천문대)

“The wind is nice today.” This is where it all went wrong—or right, depending on how you look at it. Se-ri launches her paraglider from this stunning peak to test her new sportswear line, only to be swept away by a tornado.

Byeolmaro means “a calm summit to view the stars.” Sitting atop Mt. Bongnae, it offers a panoramic view of Yeongwol. While you probably shouldn’t attempt to fly into a storm here, it is a premier spot for actual paragliding and night-time stargazing. The drive up is winding, but the view is absolutely stellar.

3. Seogwipo Forest of Healing (서귀포 치유의 숲)

When Se-ri wakes up stuck in a tree and falls literally into Captain Ri’s arms, the show tells us we are in the North Korean DMZ. In reality, this magical, moss-covered forest is located on the sunny island of Jeju.

The production team chose this specific forest for its ancient, untouched vibe. It’s a perfect hiking spot if you want to breathe in phytoncides and relieve stress. Just don’t expect to find a handsome North Korean officer patrolling the trails (unfortunately). Reservations are required to visit, so plan ahead!

4. Commodore Hotel Busan (코모도호텔 부산)

To replicate the grandeur of Pyongyang without actually going there, the directors used the Commodore Hotel in Busan. With its unique architecture that blends traditional Korean palace designs with modern brick, it successfully mimicked the slightly retro, distinct aesthetic of North Korean luxury hotels.

This is where Se-ri, Seung-jun, and Jeong-hyeok had several close encounters. It’s a functioning hotel in Busan’s old downtown, making it a convenient and affordable place to stay for fans visiting the coastal city.

5. Iseltwald Landing Stage (이젤발트 선착장)

Perhaps the most iconic visual of the entire series. In a flashback, Jeong-hyeok plays a sad song for his brother on a piano placed at the end of a wooden pier, overlooking the turquoise Lake Brienz.

This location became so viral that the tiny village of Iseltwald was overwhelmed with tourists. While the piano was a prop, the pier is very real. Traveler’s Note: Due to the massive influx of fans, the village has installed a turnstile at the pier. You now have to pay a small fee (around 5 CHF) to walk out and take that legendary photo.

6. Binae Island (비내섬)

Before one of Se-ri’s failed attempts to leave the North, the soldiers throw her a farewell picnic here. Surrounded by swaying silver grass, they share food and sing songs. It’s a heartwarming scene that solidified the bond between the “ducklings” and Se-ri.

Binae Island isn’t really an island in the ocean sense, but a wetland area in the Namhan River. It is famous for camping and trekking, especially in autumn when the silver grass fields turn golden. It feels secluded and peaceful—perfect for a quiet escape.

7. BBQ Olive Chicken Cafe Edae (BBQ치킨 이화여대점)

When the North Korean squad infiltrates Seoul to find their Captain, they get easily distracted by the capital’s delights—specifically, Golden Olive Chicken. This branch near Ewha Womans University is where they gorged on fried chicken while watching football.

While the show is famous for its product placement, this one actually looks delicious. The location is right in the middle of a popular university shopping district, so you can do some shopping and then stop by for the exact meal the soldiers ate.

8. Tangeum Lake Rainbow Bridge (탄금호 무지개길)

Justice for the second leads! This is the spot where the conman Gu Seung-jun finally confessed his feelings to Seo Dan. The bridge lights up in rainbow colors at night, creating a romantic backdrop for their tragic love story.

Located in Chungju (same city as Binae Island), this floating walkway is best visited after sunset. It’s a long, peaceful walk over the water, perfect for couples or deep contemplation about why the writers had to do Seung-jun so dirty.

9. Hantan River Sky Bridge (한탄강 하늘다리)

While taking a break from their stressful reality in Seoul, Jeong-hyeok and Se-ri stand on this suspension bridge. Here, they realize that their paths had crossed years ago in Switzerland, proving that their meeting in North Korea wasn’t an accident, but fate.

The bridge itself is quite a spectacle, suspended 50 meters above the Hantan River canyon. It wobbles slightly as you walk, adding a bit of thrill. It’s located near the Bidulginang Cascade (another famous drama spot), making it a great day trip from Seoul.

10. Lake Lungern House (룽게른 호수)

The ending we all prayed for. Once a year, Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok meet in Switzerland to enjoy a picnic overlooking an emerald lake. This scene was filmed at Lake Lungern.

The house in the background is a private residence (so please be respectful and do not trespass!), but the surrounding green hills and the path along the lake are open to the public. The water really is that blue, and the grass really is that green. It is the perfect place to end your pilgrimage.

Travel Tips for Fans

  • Navigation: Google Maps works for public transit in Korea, but for walking directions, it is often outdated or limited due to local security laws. Download Naver Map or KakaoMap for the most accurate navigation.
  • Transit: Buy a T-Money card at any convenience store (C U, GS25, 7-Eleven) upon arrival. It works on all subways, buses, and even taxis throughout the country.

Best Time to Visit: To see Binae Island’s silver grass, visit in October or November. For the Swiss locations, May to September offers the best weather for the lake views.
