What is Dae Jang Geum Park?
This park opened in 2005 and is the original filming location of some well-known Korean historical dramas, including Dae Jang Geum, after which the park was named.
Other dramas filmed here include Prince of the Legend, Lee San Wind of the Palace, The Great Queen Seondeok, Moon Embracing the Sun, Kang Chi, the Beginning and most recently The Scholar Who Walks the Night. The music video Daechwita from BTS member Suga was also filmed here.
Dae Jang Geum Park is one of the largest and best-preserved filming locations open to visitors today. The drama park is divided into three sections, starting at the bottom with the original Jewel in the Palace set, following upwards to a vast palace and village area over to the left with a Chinese inspired area and military buildings.
If you are a K-drama fan or just love Korean culture, you will have a great time wandering the streets of this village and taking in the beauty of Korean architecture while imagining what life was like back in the day.
The Best Time to visit Dae Jang Geum Park
Dae Jang Geum Park is a great place to visit all year round. It’s especially beautiful during the fall season when you can take in the beautiful fall foliage in Korea. During this time, the backdrop of the hillside village is especially vibrant and makes for excellent photo opportunities. However, spring and summer are just as magical and winter gives the village a whole new feeling as well.
What You’ll See At Dae Jang Geum Park
Section 1: Jewel in the Palace Set
This K-drama park is divided into 3 different main areas.
Near the entrance at the bottom, you’ll find the ticket office and a souvenir shop before entering into the original Jewel in the Palace filming set.
It is comprised of a set of royal palace inspired buildings surrounded by courtyards and picturesque gardens with pavilions.




On the way to the second section of the drama filming park, you pass a meadow area used for fighting scenes and other outdoor scenes. The way is lined with near-life-sized statues of famous characters from the dramas and movies filmed here.


Section 2: Village and Main Palace
Following up the hill you’ll reach the largest section of the filming set.
It’s main features are the royal palace (Injeongjeon Hall), the Crown Prince’s Palace (Donggungjeon), and the Queen’s Palace (Junggungjeon) on the left side of the village.
On the right side, you’ll find the traditional market place, city gate, and houses of different lower and upper class citizens.






Walking through the city gate in the north and following the path up the hill, you’ll reach Muryangsujeon Hall and Anyangru Pavilion, the viewpoint of the entire village below.
This it the highest point in the drama village and also the only place with a café. This section also has several features of a traditional temple, like a stone pagoda in the center.


Section 3: Misil’s Palace and Military Buildings
Make your way back down, walk back through the village and follow the way to the left side of the K-drama park. The upper part of this section is the filming location of The Great Queen Seondeok is located.
You’ll immediately notice a difference in building style between the village and palace area. This section is called Misil’s Residence and Misil’s Palace.

This particular drama takes place during the Shilla Dynasty following the country’s first reigning queen during the Three Kingdoms of Korea, from 632 to 647.

The lower part of this area is comprised of several military buildings, like a drill hall, soldier’s quarters and a large central prison. I found the layout and style of these buildings to be extremely unique and interesting.
