If you’re gearing up for the release of Cashero (캐셔로) this December, you’re probably already wondering one thing: where was this quirky money-powered hero story actually filmed? The drama’s visuals have already caught attention long before its premiere — but as with most high-profile productions, not every filming spot was publicly revealed at the time.
Why? Simple: to stop overly enthusiastic fans from interrupting scenes and crowding production sites. Totally fair.
Still, enough details have slipped out to give viewers a fun list of places to add to their Korea travel bucket list. And yes — several of them are open to the public, so you can literally walk where Lee Jun-ho and Lee Chae-min stood.
Arriving on Netflix on 26 December 2025, Cashero is shaping up to be one of the year’s standout K-dramas. Packed with top names like Lee Jun-ho and Lee Chae-min, the series brings a fresh twist to the superhero genre:
Your superpower depends on how much cash you’ve got in your wallet.

The story follows Kang Sang-ung, a regular civil servant who suddenly finds himself gifted with unusual powers — but their strength rises and falls based on the amount of money he’s carrying.
His partner Kim Min-suk keeps him grounded (and keeps the maths tidy) as Sang-ung fights for good while managing his… budget.
The drama is adapted from the hugely popular 2015 webtoon Cashero by writer Lee Hoon and illustrator No Hye Ok, known for blending fantasy, comedy, and slices of modern life with a cheeky edge.
Fans have high hopes for the live-action version, especially with Netflix’s production muscle behind it.
Filming Locations of Cashero
While many exact spots stayed under wraps during production, plenty of information has now emerged from local feeds, industry chatter, and region-based filming notices. Here are the confirmed and strongly expected locations:
1. Geomam Station Area, Seo-gu, Incheon (검암역, 인천 서구)

Filming reportedly kicked off here on 12 December 2023, with the crew spotted around the Royal Park City Prugio Complex. This area’s modern residential visuals make it a popular backdrop for dramas looking for that “everyday Korea with a clean skyline” vibe.
Why visit?
Easy access from the airport line, spacious city views, and a good feel for suburban Incheon life.
2. Seoul, Incheon, Goyang, Ilsan, and Paju Corridor

Production insiders suggested early on that Cashero would follow a similar regional pattern to The Uncanny Counter, which did most of its main filming in Paju.
Expect the drama to feature a mix of:
-
Seoul – for urban action scenes
-
Incheon – for residential backdrops
-
Goyang & Ilsan – known for lush parks and larger open shooting spaces
-
Paju – a drama-favourite city with flexible film zones
Why visit?
These areas are already popular among K-drama tourists — think cafés, plazas, hidden alleys, and riversides often seen on screen.
3. Studio Dragon Production Facilities

A big part of Cashero was shot indoors at Studio Dragon’s dedicated production studios, thanks to Netflix and CJ ENM’s long-running strategic partnership.
Studio Dragon is behind many major K-dramas, and its high-end indoor sets allow crews to build entire fictional worlds without interruption.
Why visit?
Fans can’t tour the actual sets, but the nearby areas in Gyeonggi-do often host themed pop-ups and exhibitions related to ongoing dramas.
4. VA Corporation Virtual Studios – Hanam & Beyond

Here’s where things get seriously high-tech.
The drama also made use of VA Corporation’s massive virtual studios, including:
-
VASTUDIO in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province
-
The upcoming Paju Virtual Media Complex
These virtual studios are among the largest in Asia. They use giant LED volumes to project computer-generated backgrounds in real time — the same tech powering many global fantasy and sci-fi productions.
Why visit?
While the studios themselves aren’t open to the public, the surrounding areas are picturesque and frequently used for outdoor shoots.
5. Special Indoor Sets & VFX Teaming

Some industry speculation suggests that VFX could involve Dexter Studios, known for their work on major Korean films. Netflix hasn't confirmed this, but the styling of the trailers and the genre makes the guess pretty believable.
Why visit?
You can’t — but it’s a fun bit of insight into how the drama’s unusual “cash-powered” action scenes were brought to life.

Would You Visit These Places?
