Switzerland: The Place Where It All Began (and Ended)

Let’s start at the very beginning. Remember those stunning mountain views, the lake, and that bench where fate quietly tied our couple together? Those were real places in Switzerland, and yes—you can visit them all.

1. Sigriswil Panorama Bridge

This scenic bridge overlooking Lake Thun was where Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok first crossed paths. I visited it in summer 2023, and let me tell you—the view is even more breathtaking in person.

- Location: Sigriswil, near Interlaken
- Entry Fee: Approx. 8 CHF
- What to Expect: Long suspension bridge, ideal for photos, especially at sunrise or sunset

2. Lake Brienz & Iseltwald Pier

The famous scene with Jeong-hyeok playing the piano by the lake? That’s the pier in Iseltwald. It’s now a major K-drama pilgrimage site. When I was there, I met fans from Japan, the Philippines, and Germany—all quietly humming the OST!

- Location: Iseltwald village
- Travel Tip: Go early morning to avoid crowds

South Korea: The Modern World of Yoon Se-ri

3. Hantan River Sky Bridge, Cheorwon

Used to recreate the North Korean border scenes, this dramatic sky bridge is located in Cheorwon. While it’s not actually in the North, the natural landscape was realistic enough for filming. When I visited, the atmosphere was serene, almost eerie.

- Location: Gangwon-do Province, near DMZ
- Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, lots of walking involved!

4. Seoul Neighborhoods – Se-ri’s Lifestyle

Several upscale locations in Seoul were used to showcase Se-ri’s fashion empire and luxurious lifestyle. Notable filming spots include:

1. Parc.1 Tower in Yeouido – Office scenes
2. Urban Hive Building in Gangnam – Company exterior
3. Dosan Park – Popular with Se-ri’s fashion clients

Mongolia: The Stand-In for North Korea

Surprised? Due to filming restrictions, most of the “North Korea” scenes were actually shot in Mongolia. The wide plains, simple village life, and military zones were all recreated using Mongolian countryside settings. Although tourism here is less developed, adventure travelers can trace some of the routes.

5. Ulaanbaatar Outskirts

Scenes involving military training and countryside journeys were filmed in areas around Ulaanbaatar. If you're an intrepid traveler, visiting here gives you a sense of the vast, untouched beauty that the show conveyed.

My Personal Journey: Chasing Scenes and Memories

I first visited Switzerland after finishing Crash Landing on You—and yes, I cried while standing on that Iseltwald pier. Later, I traveled to Cheorwon in Korea and was amazed by how authentic the North Korean setting felt. Even though I couldn’t make it to Mongolia (yet!), seeing these places in real life brought the story alive again in a completely different way.

Have you ever visited a filming location that left you speechless? It’s like stepping into your favorite scene and becoming part of the story.
