If you’ve ever dreamed of living out your K-Drama fantasy, Gyeongbokgung Palace is the perfect place to do it. The moment you put on a hanbok and step inside the palace grounds, you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. It’s such a surreal experience to walk through the grand gates, wander the courtyards, and imagine the lives of royals and nobles from centuries ago.
What makes it even more exciting is that you won’t be the only one in costume. Tourists and even some locals stroll around the palace in their colorful hanboks, striking poses, snapping photos, and enjoying the vibe. The whole atmosphere feels festive and alive, almost like being on the set of a historical drama.

The best part? Hanbok rentals are super easy to find around Gyeongbokgung Palace. There are countless shops offering a wide variety of designs, from traditional patterns to more modern styles. Most rentals include accessories like hairpieces or small bags to complete your look.
If you want to avoid the hassle of walking around and comparing shops, you can also prebook your hanbok online. Platforms like Klook let you reserve your rental in advance so you don’t have to worry about availability when you arrive. That way, all you need to do is show up, get dressed, and start your palace adventure.
Even if dressing up isn’t really your thing, I highly recommend giving the hanbok experience a try. It’s not just about the photos (though trust me, they’ll be amazing). It’s about immersing yourself in Korean culture and seeing these historical sites in a completely new light. And if you go with friends, the laughs, the group photos, and the shared experience make it even more memorable.
Walking through Gyeongbokgung Palace in a hanbok was one of the highlights of my trip. For a moment, it really felt like stepping into history or at least into the beautiful world of a K-Drama.
