There's another Netflix series regarding a zombie apocalypse that takes place in Seoul (South Korea capital)
The zombie apocalypse drama has been done many times but this one is probably the best and it at least goes beyond the norm/routine of a typical zombie TV show.
Well, it's at least better than the walking dead or resident evil!
I was there last month. Went to Seoul, Gyeongju, Busan and Jeju. I loved it. Similar in many ways to Japan both in the look of the place and the transport infrastructure but quite a lot cheaper.
Advice: if you travel with a woman, be prepared to spend hours waiting outside cosmetics and skincare shops such as Olive Young! Beaches in Busan are world class and, unlike Thai beaches, they are organised with toilets, showers, etc and they are so clean. The water was cold when I was there though! Take advantage of tourist passes which will give you entry into various tourist attractions at a big saving. Use the high speed rail network. Try to book in advance. Use Rail Ninja app. Be prepared for very little English being spoken. Try to get your destinations written in Korean if you intend to take a taxi. Underground is cheap and efficient but if there are more than two of you consider using Uber, provided you can find your destination. Google Maps doesn't work. Use Naver or Kakao. Credit cards and cash both extensively used. Exchange bureaux can be beetter options than ATMs. Make the most of the food. It's great. Korean BBQ and Chicken and Beer places are great but if you want to eat top quality steak or seafood, be prepared to pay for it. Also eat street food. Yum! Local mass produced beers are crap. Locals mix it with Soju (rice wine). Plenty of craft beer options around. Don't bother with Jeju unless you are into hiking or golf. Nice place but a lot of time wasted at airports. Stay near Incheon Airport the night before if you have an early flight out or a late arriving flight. Visit DMZ.
