As I continue my search for exclusive set locations for the smash TV hit “Goblin”, my journey takes me through Seongsu-dong to the notable Wall Art Street. Relatively hidden from the main roads, its unique murals made by budding local artists are worth searching for. I stare up at wall-sized paintings of literary greats like Ernest Hemingway and Jane Austen that tower over onlookers posing for pictures. It is here where Goblin waits for Eun-tak while reading a book.
Next, I’m off to Yongdap Station. Hopping off the subway, I exit the station and walk up along the snaking walkway to the pedestrian bridge, one of the most famous moments in the TV series, as it is here, in this very spot, where Sunny and the Death Angel (aka the Grim Reaper and Kim Sun) first lay eyes on each other. Located at Seongdong District in Seoul, the setting is made more memorable by the fantastic views of Seoul. Below a stream flanked by tree-lined paths stretches on for miles while in the distance I can see trains come and go from the nearby station.
My next stop brings me underground to the Graffiti Tunnel from episode 10, entitled “Spring Onion Runway”. Located near Sinchon Station along subway Line 2, the long, domeshaped passageway is covered in colorful graffiti and was used for that hilarious bromance scene where the Grim Reaper and the Goblin walked through a tunnel carrying spring onions only to have a the special bonding moment disrupted by a motorist.
Finally, my itinerary brings me to the stonewall alley in Jeong-dong. This is the street where the Grim Reaper’s favourite coffee shop can be seen. Walking through these locations reignites my fondness for the TV series. Having revisited all the locations in person where my favourite scenes were shot reminds me why I became such a fan with the show in the first place.
