A lot of negativity here, so I feel compelled to chip in.

First of, I really like Busan. I have never lived there, but I have visited 7-8 times and always liked the fact that it is a big city but a bit more relaxed than Seoul, and, of course, has a beach.

The great thing about Seoul, though, is there is basically an infinite amount of new bars and restaurants to try, with new ones always springing up. As one example, I cannot stress how much improved the local beer scene is for instance. From almost nothing but Cass and Hite a few years ago, there are now easily over a dozen craft bars to choose from. If clubs and more raucous bars are your thing, plenty of those, and many more than Busan.

Seoul is a stressful place to live at times, but its enormity is also part of its charm. There are any number of museums and galleries. You have heaps of mountains, and the transport network out of the city is fantastic -- you can start a weekend away in the country past midnight as there are tons of buses out of Seoul at all sorts of times.
