| Where Was “As You Stood By” Filmed? A Full Guide to the K-Drama’s Stunning Locations |
If you’ve fallen for the hauntingly beautiful storytelling of As You Stood By (당신이 죽였다 / You Killed), you’re not alone. The drama doesn’t just pull you in with its acting and intense plot — the locations are just as captivating.
But here’s something most fans don’t know: not all filming sites were publicly revealed during production.
The crew deliberately kept certain places under wraps to prevent overexcited fans from interrupting the shoot — a move that totally makes sense, considering how massive the show’s following has become.
Now that filming’s wrapped, Tonboriday brings you a little travel inspo — a guide to some of the As You Stood By filming locations you can actually visit on your next trip to South Korea.
Some are quiet cafés, some are scenic hills, and a few are instantly recognisable once you see them on screen.

🎬 About the Drama
Directed by Lee Jung Rim, As You Stood By stars Jeon So Nee (Cho Eun Su), Lee Yoo Mi (Choi Hui Su), Jang Seung Jo (No Jin Pyu), and Lee Moo Saeng (Jin So Baek). The series runs for eight gripping episodes, each around 60 minutes long, and streams exclusively on Netflix every Friday.
Fans might already recognise Jeon So Nee from Melo Movie (2025) or Parasyte: The Grey (2024), while Lee Yoo Mi is beloved for Squid Game and All of Us Are Dead.
With such a strong cast, it’s no surprise the show’s visuals — from acting to location choices — have become a talking point across K-drama communities.
