08-17 April 2027
10 DAYS OF K-DRAMA, AUTUMN COLOURS & MAIN CHARACTER MOMENTS
Experience South Korea at its most cinematic on a 10-day autumn journey created especially for K-drama lovers.
From the iconic streets and palaces of Seoul to the golden landscapes of Nami Island, the charming hanok streets of Jeonju and the breathtaking autumn scenery of historic Gyeongju, this tour brings together memorable K-drama locations with some of Korea’s most beautiful seasonal experiences.
Wander beneath golden ginkgo trees and fiery autumn maples, step into scenes from beloved dramas, discover traditional neighbourhoods, explore aesthetic cafés and experience the dreamy Pink Muhly fields that make autumn in Korea feel like a K-drama come to life.
Along the way, we’ll enjoy authentic Korean food, countryside escapes, hanok experiences, café culture, shopping, beautiful photo moments and plenty of time to simply slow down and soak up the magic of a Korean autumn.
And because this is a Headliner T.E.A. journey, not everything will be revealed in advance. We’ll keep a few special experiences, K-drama moments and locations as surprises along the way.
Your autumn K-drama is ready to begin. Follow the falling leaves, step into the frame and let South Korea turn your journey into its most unforgettable scene.
DAY 1: AND SO, THE STORY BEGINS

As evening arrives, we'll head out for our first taste of K-drama Seoul. Explore the streets of Itaewon, drive past familiar filming locations and enjoy a special welcome dinner inspired by one of Korea's much-loved dramas.
Tonight is about getting to know your fellow travellers, enjoying your first Korean meal together and setting the scene for the adventure ahead.

Begin at Gwanghwamun Square before dressing in beautiful hanbok and exploring the magnificent Gyeongbokgung Palace, made even more spectacular against the colours of autumn.
Continue into Seochon, where old alleyways, traditional architecture and hidden K-drama connections reveal another side of the city.
For lunch, experience Tongin Market's famous brass-coin dosirak, choosing your own Korean dishes from market vendors before enjoying your personalised lunchbox.

DAY 3: FALLING FOR SEOUL
Autumn Blooms & Main Character Moments
Today we discover the contemporary side of K-drama Seoul — through autumn scenery, flowers, stylish neighbourhoods and some very special main-character moments.
Begin at Seoul Forest, where autumn transforms the park into a landscape of golden ginkgo, red maples and beautiful tree-lined paths.
From here, continue into Seongsu, one of Seoul's most exciting neighbourhoods, where converted warehouses, stylish boutiques, pop-ups and aesthetic cafés sit alongside locations familiar from Korean dramas and entertainment.
After lunch, we'll turn our attention to another beautiful element of Korean storytelling — flowers. Flowers appear throughout K-dramas to celebrate love, new beginnings, friendship, farewells and those unforgettable romantic moments.
During a special flower experience at The Isaac, we'll take inspiration from the colours and blooms of the season and create our own autumn floral arrangement to take home as a memory of the journey.
It's a hands-on experience that brings a little piece of K-drama romance to life — and another chance to create your own main-character moment.
