Goblin (Dokkaebi) Filming Locations: A Practical Guide
Goblin (tvN, 2016-2017) aired nearly a decade ago, but its filming locations still pull steady traffic from fans across Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The drama, written by Kim Eun-sook and directed by Lee Eung-bok, starred Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun, Lee Dong-wook, and Yoo In-na. What made the locations work is that the production used real, unaltered places—a fishing-village breakwater, a secondhand bookstore alley, a palace stone wall walk—rather than constructed sets. This guide covers the verified Korean locations, marks clearly what was filmed in Quebec, and gives you concrete transit information.

What Was Filmed in Quebec, and Trip Planning
Final Thoughts
Goblin's locations have aged well because the production picked places that were already worth visiting. Jumunjin's breakwater was a working fishing port before any cameras arrived. Hanmi Bookstore has been selling secondhand books in Incheon's Baedari neighborhood for decades. Deoksugung's stone wall walk has been a Seoul landmark for generations. The drama added an emotional layer; it didn't manufacture the appeal. Plan your visit around the places themselves, and the recreation photos will be a bonus.
