Of course! Korea is great with lots of things do do and see. especially during spring and autumn when the scenery is incredible, In Autumn all the leaves turn Red and yellow with a brilliant array of golden mountains and if you go to seorak-san mountain, you can see the waterfalls with an incredible placid atmosphere.
In spring al the trees blosom once again and there are litteraly cherry blossoms and flowers everywhere. it's a really colorful sight with a nice warm breeze that's not too hot and not too cold.
I have to warn you though, In summer korea is extremely moist with a rainy season, and mosquitoes are everywhere, and in the winter, korea kind of looks like a battlefield with slushy snow and dirt all over the place. and the snow melts pretty fast.
The pollution is kind of a problem these days especially in the Gyeongi-do region (where seoul is) and sometimes if you walk around Seoul's subway stations, you should watch out for the homeless who often get drunk and cause a ruckass.
The food is brilliant, spiced, steamed, grilled, you name it, they got it. Koreans also think that natural flavor is better to adulterated foods, so 99% of the time you'll be eating someting that's fresh without too much crazy chemicals and whatnot.
every nook and cranny is covered with shops with a busy, hustling atmosphere, people putting things on display for you to see. and if you need anything, Korea has it, western or eastern, just walk out and there's a mcdonald's right infront of you.
Korean people are really nice and crime is not much of a problem. if you saw the 2002 fifa world cup, you could notice that after every game, the people volunteered to pick up the garbage and litter in the streets and staduim. What korean love most, is when people try to learn their heritage and country. koreans are great at giving directions since everything is kind of compact, but sufficient.
oh and prices are really cheap if you go to street makets, not department stores. Korean has really industrialized itself over the past 50 years to the 11th top economical world power so koreans sometimes feel a strong sense of ethnocentrism especially going through war and invasions.
i hope this give any kinds of insight and thanks for this question, i had fun answering it

Depends on what you mean by nice?
Overall, yeah, Korea is nice.
The people can be nice, or not so nice.
The scenery is very nice... mountains, forests, lakes, rivers etc.
The pollution isn't very nice, the rush hours on the public transport isn't very nice either.
The Korean food is VERY nice, the western food, is NOT very nice.
