Where Were The Filming Locations For Time Korean Production?

I still get a little thrill when I recognize a street from 'Time' while scrolling through my photo album. To me the production used a familiar mix: central Seoul neighborhoods for exteriors, a riverside park for emotional scenes, and studio interiors for the more intimate hospital and apartment sequences. A lot of K-dramas use university campuses (or similar-looking campuses) for classrooms and courtyards, so some scenes that feel like a campus could have been shot at a private college or on a set dressed to look like one.

For a practical approach: follow location hashtags on Instagram (something like #시간촬영지) and look at dedicated K-drama location blogs—fans often post exact addresses and Google Map pins. Another trick I use is pausing episodes and screenshotting storefronts or signage; then reverse-image-search or type the Korean text into Naver Maps. And if you’re actually in Seoul, consider joining a themed walking tour—some companies and fan groups organize drama-location walks and can point out exact alleys and cafés used in 'Time'. It’s a fun way to connect scenes with real places while enjoying coffee and people-watching.

One of the best parts of being a drama buff for me is geeking out over where scenes were actually shot, and 'Time' is no exception. From watching the show and following a few fan threads, most of the production was based around Seoul with a mix of studio sets and real outdoor spots. You’ll spot typical Seoul neighborhoods—city streets and apartment exteriors that give off Gangnam/Seocho vibes, cozy café corners that look like Hongdae/Yeonnam-dong, and a handful of scenes by the Han River or riverside parks that are classic drama backdrops.

Inside scenes—like hospitals, offices, and apartments—were largely done on controlled sets or in buildings repurposed for filming, which is standard for tightly shot melodramas. If you dig into BTS clips or the episode credits you’ll often find nods to the studio or the location managers, and fans have pinned down a few probable cafes and street corners. If you want specifics: search Korean fan blogs or Naver posts for '시간 촬영지' (촬영지 means filming location) and you’ll get maps and photos from people who tracked the spots. My tip if you visit: treat residential exteriors with respect, pick cafes that welcome visitors, and try to go early in the morning for quiet photo ops—there’s something really peaceful about seeing a scene in person, even years after it aired.
