K-drama ‘Gurdian: The Lonely and Great God’, or simply known as ‘Goblin’ has become one of the most popular Korean drama around the world. The story revolves around mythical god Dokkaebi, who lives an immortal life, and high school student Ji Eun-tak, who has sixth sense that enables her to see ghost and spirits.
Other than the romantic and comical plot, the other reason that many fell in the love with this k-drama is the beautiful places and sceneries that they’ve chosen to film their scenes for the drama.
Here are the top 5 Goblin filming location in Seoul and Incheon!
#1 Goblin’s House – Unhyeongung Palace
The exterior of Goblin’s house is definitely iconic as there were so many comical, romantic, and even sad scenes shot right here. The white mansion is located within Unhyeongung Palace, a private house of the royal family during the late Joseon period, that is currently also part of Duksung Women’s University.
#2 The Very First Meeting – Samcheongdong Doldam-gil
The epic first meeting between the main actor and actress scene happened here at Samcheongdong Doldam-gil. Doldam-gil is directly translated as ‘Stone wall Road’ and there’s a myth stating that couple who walk along Doldam-gil will eventually break up.
This particular stone wall road is wedged between Duksung Girls’ High School and Poongmun Women’s High School.
#3 Iconic Hipster Bookstore - Han-Mi Bookstore
Anyone who watched the entire series will definitely remember this hipster yellow bookstore. It’s been shown in multiple episodes with some rather romantic moments that you can recreate with your partner if you’d like. This yellow bookstore can be found at Beadari Secondhand Bookstore Alley in Incheon.
#4 “I Have Sword Stuck On My Chest” - Cheongnaho Lake Park
Remember the part where Goblin was a little drunk and he revealed to Eun Tak about the sword stuck on his chest? Oh yeah, it was a funny scene with a side of wonderful breeze from the lake as their background. This lake park is located in Incheon, surrounded by tall apartments, a great place to enjoy a relaxing stroll.

Located at a corner of Seoul’s busiest downtown intersection, this is where Goblin met the Grim Reaper for the first time through the stone wall. This place is shown only in episode 1 and 2 of the drama.
