Take the subway to Cheongnangyi subway station at Line 1. Exit the station, follow the signboard to Cheongnangyi Station. Buy a ticket to Gapyeong station. The ticket cost 3,800 won one way and is a 1.5 hour ride. The train interval is every hour.
From the Gapyeong train station, you can take a cab to the ferry wharf. There are a lot of taxis outside the Gapyeong train station. Just tell them ferry station or Namiseoum and they will understand. It cost 3,500 won and is only about 5 minutes ride.
From the ferry wharf, you need to buy the ferry ticket which includes the Nami Island entry ticket, total is 8,000 won. The ferry ride is another 5-10 minutes.

Both times are beautiful (I don't know if it makes sense, but the light there is just really nice). If you're going with your boyfriend, one place I would suggest is Nami Island. It's where they filmed Winter Sonata, with the tall trees and all and it's super gorgeous. Lots of couples go there.
It's quite a bit outside of the city area, but still accessible by the metro system. Metro > Ferry > Island. Quite straightforward, can't remember the exact stations but I found this:
Also, at the ferry wharf there is a lot of Korean BBQ restaurants, particularly those serving chicken ribs. Really worth trying (which korean bbq isn't?!)
Some of the photos I took while I was there (Winter 2010/11) to give you an idea of how the place looks like:

Gorgeous scenery

I am visiting Seoul & Jeju for 9 days this coming October. Planning to do self drive in Jeju. Nami island looks interesting, I might just add into the itinerary.

The beauty of photography is that you don't need a lot of space for a beautiful picture. The one line of trees is all that's needed in Winter Sonata.
One hour will be a lil short cause theres many other things to see too on that island esp in fall other than the rows of trees.. I would suggest at least half a day
giantcanopy said:Good idea. I would probably put aside the later half of the day to visit Nami. I heard can rent bicycles to cycle around the small island.
