Dramas filmed at N Seoul Tower (Namsan Tower)

My Love from the Star

The tower and its terraces backdrop the leads' iconic dates.

Boys Over Flowers

The love-locks fence and cable car feature in the series' romance scenes.

Itaewon Class

The tower is the ever-present backdrop of Saeroyi's Noksapyeong bridge scenes.

Visiting tips

The love-locks terrace is free and delivers the classic drama shot — bring your own padlock or buy one at the kiosk. Sunset is the sweet spot: daylight views, then the city lights up while you’re still there.

The walk down through Namsan Park toward Myeongdong follows the same wooded paths that stand in for “quiet Seoul” in countless dramas, and it’s easier than walking up.

What’s nearby

Myeongdong’s street-food alleys sit at the bottom of the cable car — the standard pairing for an evening plan. The Namsangol Hanok Village at the northern foot of the mountain adds a free traditional-architecture stop that also moonlights in historical dramas.
