I'm going to sound dumn as I've already looked at other posts on this.
I have a new dell laptop from the UK and will be bringing it to Korea.
Will I just be able to use a regular plug adaptor taking it from a three pin to two pin (I believe its the same as European in Korea), or do I need to buy a new cable or transformer? If so, where is the nearest place to bundang or in Bundang as that's where I will be.
Many thanks guys.

Check your laptop's power adapter, if it says it can handle 220 V (And I'd be surprised if it can't) then you'll be fine just getting the adapter.

The transformer says 100-240v, so this will be fine to use the same adapter one might use to connect a hairdryer to the mains?

You don't need a transformer, as was said. Just the little plug adapter that fits on the end of the plug. I've done this many times with my camera. Same style of 110vto240v power thing you've got.
