    Excellent experience to see the ‘behind the scenes’ of K-drama production. Tour guides (Jun, Eleven and Joe) were great. Look forward to new trip next time.

  • Great effort but somewhat lacking

    Simone B,Apr 3, 2026

    - Review from Viator

    It was a somewhat enjoyable morning led by two friendly and dedicated guides who clearly put a lot of effort into making the experience engaging and informative. They provided great insight into MBC’s history and development, and the visit included two different locations. Having the opportunity to explore Sangam-dong during the lunch break was an added bonus. That said, my rating reflects one key drawback: much of the tour involved walking through empty buildings. While we did see the basement where sets are created, along with various TV sets, waiting rooms, and stages, the lack of any live activity made the experience feel somewhat limited. It would have been far more engaging to witness something in action—such as a rehearsal or a live taping. One of the guides mentioned that such opportunities may be introduced in the future, but unfortunately, that comes too late for my visit.

  • Perfect dive into MBCs Broadcasting Industry BtS

    This was the best Tour I took this time. As a K-Drama fan this tour is an absolout must. It was a joy to see all the Behind Works and Places you saw in diverent MBC productions. Our Tour Guide Joon led the Tour with a lot of joy which flow over to the customers. So it was fun. He also shared a few small details about things he experienced through his other tours and went first when we were to shy to try something. Thank you for guiding us. A huge thanks also goes to Mr. Yoo from MBC, who showed us all the secrets and let us in on some details about how a production was done. Things that were amazingly interesting for someone like me, who loves the whole picture of film work. I learned a lot and would love to work in the industry even more now. If we ever get the chance to work together, it'd be an honor and a joy. Thank you also to both for answering all my questions with patience. If you like to see and lern a lot about film and show making, this tour is a must.

    An amazing insight to broadcasting in South Korea. Fantastic experience of a lifetime. If you want to know the ins and outs of how dramas are produced this is the tour to do.

  • A sneak peek at how k dramas are made

    A behind the scenes view of how k dramas are made - from script read through to rehearsal. Fascinating and made fun by the team that lead us through the building.

  • Wonder insights into the K-drama and K-pop worlds

    Lisa H,Mar 7, 2026

    Great insight into the well-oiled machine that churns out hopeful K-pop stars and keeps the K-dramas coming. Yoo and Joon were phenomenal tour guides and happy to share all of their extensive knowledge with the group. Easy meet up directions via WhatsApp and consistent contact to ensure we all showed up timely. Lunch saw us on our own to choose from a large selection of restaurants. Would happily try this tour again if they incorporate actual filming and/or another K-drama rehearsal into the schedule! I will say with so much insight on the K-drama rehearsal that we saw, I can’t wait to actually watch the series from the beginning.

  • The best experience in Seoul if you love K-drama/pop

    Absolutely incredible! The guides were more than accommodating, they went out of their way to make the tour fun, interesting and well organised. They showed us so much! The studio, the offices, all about drama, pop and even radio. Got to see actors rehearsing on set which was an incredible experience and got to understand a table read and keep the script of an episode! I would highly recommend this tour if you love K drama and/or K pop. And I would give an extra star for the guides alone!

  • A must for Kdrama fans!

    Superfun to see a live rehersal of a Makjang Kdrama. Very professional and funny tour guides. We got an hour lunch time and there was a great selection of food at the digital media city. What can be improved? The stuios were the most fun to see rather than buildings so second place was less interesting but we enjoyed some history and fun facts from the guide. A must if you are a fan of kdramas and filmmaking.👍
