Don't go chasing waterfalls.
I would have to disagree with you on this one TLC. Jeju Island is known for its volcanic landscape with craters, waterfalls and beach resorts, which makes it one of the best places to see natural landscapes. On our road trip here to Jeju Island last year, we made a point to visit as many waterfalls as we could. Although I am not a big fan of hiking, I do love a good motivation of seeing something beautiful at the end of the trail.
You do know that there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, in waterfalls? I'll let you think about it while I share with you the top 3 waterfalls we visited on Jeju Island.
Jeongbang Waterfalls.
This famous landmark is located in Seogwipo and it is 23m tall. It sits on a cliff and falls directly into the ocean. We had to walk up a few flight of stairs, onto a straight path before we saw the magnificent view. It was not a difficult climb at all. The rocks around the waterfalls made it a good place to sit and bask in the sun. It could get slippery though, so remember to wear suitable shoes and walk carefully.

Cheonjiyeon Waterfall.
Waterfalls usually come with its own mythical stories, including the Cheonjiyeon. This special waterfall is 22 meters tall and 12 meters wide. There is a basin at the foot of the waterfall which falls 20 meters deep. Surrounded by lush evergreen subtropical forest, this fall is known for its scenic beauty. It is also believed that a holy dragon lived in the basin of the waterfall. In times of famine, the locals would pray for rain at the waterfall and it is said that their prayers were always answered.

The path to Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is filled with lots of greeneries.

The sun was bright and hot that day, making it a perfect day to chase waterfalls. 
No swimming is allowed in Cheongjiyeon Waterfall due to strong current and pull from the basin.
Cheonjeyeon Waterfall
Although they share similar names, the Cheonjeyeon waterfall is three-tiered and located in a large green area. The cold waterfall comes from a cave and drops down, gathering into a pool. It then falls down two more times, creating a second and third waterfall which then flows into the sea. It takes 30-40 minutes to explore the entire area as there are many steps going up, and then down again to the Seonimgyo bridge. The carvings on the side of the bridge symbolizes the 7 nymphs, connecting visitors to the Jungmum Tourist Complex.
The weather was perfect that day. I enjoyed this walk and climb to see the three-tiered waterfall as it was such a beautiful sight. A note to families, the stairs can be quite challenging at times, therefore it's best not to bring any strollers (or small children) inside. There's also only one bathroom at the entrance, therefore it's wise to go before you enter Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls.
Entrance fee: ₩2,500/person (RM10.00/US $2.25)

Jusangjeolli Cliff
The drive to Jusangjeolli Cliff too us 45 minutes from Yongmeori Coast. It has a spectacular view of dark rock formations at the southern coast of Jeju Island. There area has a few sections for viewing and photo opportunities. We only managed to walk up to the first viewing area to see the waves crashing into this amazing cliff below. The formation is similar to the Giant Causeway in Northern Island (which we want to see in person next time).
