The hit Korean romance between a South Korean heiress and a North Korean officer opens with a paragliding accident that sweeps its heroine across the border – and filmed its most beautiful scenes not in Korea but in the Swiss Alps, whose lakes and peaks became a symbol of the couple’s love.
Where was Crash Landing on You filmed?
Crash Landing on You was filmed in Switzerland (the Alps and Lake Brienz), South Korea and Mongolia.
Every Crash Landing on You location, explained
Switzerland – the romance
The show’s romantic set pieces used Interlaken and the jetty at Iseltwald on Lake Brienz, plus the Sigriswil bridge.
South Korea – the home scenes
The Seoul and countryside scenes used real South Korea, from Cheongju to Jeju Island.
Mongolia – the border
Some sweeping landscape scenes used Mongolia, standing in for the border region.
The Swiss lakes
Lake Brienz and the Alpine scenery recur as a motif of the central love story.
Planning a visit
The jetty at Iseltwald on Lake Brienz became such a fan magnet that the village introduced an access fee – a stunning, accessible Swiss spot at the heart of the show.
