We’re pretty sure that you’re excited for the upcoming film ‘To All the Boys: Always and Forever?’
It will be released on Netflix on 12th of February 12, 2021, just two days before the Valentines Day.
One of the most awaited scenes by both K-fans and Hollywood fans is the scene where Lara Jean and her family goes to South Korea for a trip. But we don’t wanna leave you hanging with a big question mark on your heads with regards to the filming locations, so here we are:
Bongeunsa Temple
The 23-meter Maitreya Buddha statue can be seen in the trailer as Lara Jean stands infront of it.
Lies in the beautiful slope of Sudo Mountain, the Bongeunsa Temple brings you to the perfect view of the old and new modern sky scrapper buildings around it.
You can get through subway line 9, Bongeunsa Station, exit 1, subway line 7, Cheongdam Station, exit 2, and subway line 2, Samseong Station, exit 6, just across the street from the COEX Mall to visit the Bongeunsa Temple
Han River – I•SEOUL•U
A view of the Han River from above and one of the famous picture zones with I•SEOUL•U sculpture in Korea was the next film location. Lara Jean and her sisters Morgan and Kitty were seen having fun. They were also on a tandem bike that you can hire and pedal around the Han River (three-person bicycle).
At subway line 5, Yeouinaru station, exit 2 and subway line 7, Ttukseom Hangang Park, exit 2 next to Riverside Point, you can locate the I•SEOUL•U sculpture.
Myeongdong Shopping Streets
In Myeongdong Shopping Streets, where you can shop for Korean clothing, cosmetics and eat some street food, Lara Jean and her family were also seen. Lara Jean’s sister Kitty had 30cm of soft serving ice cream to test out. Choose from chocolate, vanilla, green tea, milk, strawberry, and yogurt from a single flavor or a combination.
Myeongdong Shopping Streets can be visited at Myeongdong Station, subway line 4, exit 5/6/7/8.
Noraebang
Of course, Noraebang (karaoke) had to be visited by Lara Jean and her sisters! Noraebang is situated in almost every neighborhood around Seoul. You just have to look for the Korean symbol “노래방”.
Visiting alone? No worries, we’ve got Coin Noraebang in Korea! It’s a karaoke booth, where you can pay for each song and sing your heart out.
Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)
Lara Jean and her sisters are seen walking around Dongdaemun Design Plaza holding shopping bags. This is where the annual “Seoul Fashion Week” takes place with Korean idols including BTS, EXO, Mamamoo, etc. Modeled by Zaha Hadid and Samoo.
Shopping malls such as Doota, Migliore, Hello ApM, Lotte Fittin, etc. are across the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Shop your heart from here, subway line 1/2, Dongdaemun Station, exit 7.
Greem Cafe
“To All the Boys” all began with a letter from Seoul and Greem Cafe. Here at the two cartoon/comic like cafe, Lara Jean was seen writing a letter. The cafe is said to be influenced by Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo’s Korean drama W, where the modern world and the comic world collide.
Is the actual reality of Lara Jean clashing with her fairytale in order to be with Peter Kavinsky? We’re curious about what Lara Jean wrote. Here at Subway line 2, Hongdae Station, exit 3, you can recreate the scene of Lara!
Hanbok Experience
Do you remember Lara and her sister Kitty in the second season of “TO ALL THE BOYS 2: P.S. I STILL LOVE YOU” wearing the Korean traditional Hanbok clothing? There are several different forms of Hanbok that have many distinct meanings. Flowers such as chrysanthemums or peonies, depending on the symbols, meant immortality and the tiger reflected the bravery of the King.
Want to visit all “To All the Boys: Always and Forever” filming locations? It can be impossible to visit all the locations in one go with COVID-19 around so you might want to travel around Seoul in a private car.
