Best tour ever!!!

The best K-drama tour EVER!!! You have the opportunity to see a rehearsal with the real actors and you will see the filming sets as well. This is my second time and I'm looking forward to return next year as well. If you are a K-drama lover, you should NOT miss it!!! 😉

Average...

If you like 360-degree buildings... personally, it's too much for me... and the food... let's not even talk about it... so very mixed feelings despite the guaranteed change of scenery

Behind the scenes for K-drama fans

A rare look behind the scenes of Korea’s K-dramas. We didn’t get to catch any artistes which was a miss but otherwise this was a good educational tour organised by MBC so no sales driven agenda but lots to learn.

A beautiful experience

A day full of discoveries! Seeing behind the scenes and the different phases of filming was very informative. Mr. Yi is an absolutely fascinating character, and his explanations, always punctuated with anecdotes, were incredible. Mr. San is also a very nice person, full of humor and kindness. Although I was a bit hesitant about this activity, I came away very happy.

Very interesting insight...

Very interesting insight to making Korean TV shows and movies and even K-pop. Tour guides were excellent in explaining the process plus entertaining at the same time. Being able to witness a rehearsal is a plus. We would highly recommend any Kdrama or K-pop fan to take this tour
