Most
of the indoor scenes were
shot at a location set in
Osan, especially the kissing
scene between Lee Shin and
Chae-gyeong, the scene in
which they both look back
sadly, to see the other
walking away, and the quarreling
scene in their bedrooms.
This 1.5 billion won studio
set is a reenactment of
a modern-day royal palace.
With all the rental furniture
and props included, the
set cost almost 5 billion
won. The emperors room is
decorated in amber and olive
colors, while the room of
the empress is decorated
in black and gold to express
regality and authority.
The room of the crown prince
is located in the east wing
and is in blue while the
room of the crown princess
is decorated in romantic
pink. Other areas are the
grand reception room and
the indoor garden. Classic
and modern styles coexist
in the overall design of
the studio set.
Scenes
of the front and back palace
courtyards were filmed at
Anapji Pond in Gyeongju,
Gyeongsangbuk-do Province
and Gyeonggijeon Shrine
in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do
Province. Scenes of the
main palace Geunjeongjeon
were filmed at Gyeonghuigung
Palace in Jeong-dong, Seoul.
The scene in which the royal
family played a royal sport
similar to golf took place
in Gyeonghuigung. The image
of the palace buildings
behind Gyeongbokgung Palace
was designed by using computer
graphics. Sightseers at
these locations need to
remember that some visual
scenes were created with
computer imaging. 
While
the palace's interior scenes
were shot at the studio
set in Osan, the exterior
scenes were shot at the
Yanggwan Building of Unhyeongung
Palace in Jongno, Seoul.
The architectural structure
currently houses Duksung
University School of Continuing
Education. This Renaissance-style
building with antique white
exterior walls is in harmony
with the gardens surrounding
it. The building is easily
accessible on foot from
Jongno. 
Located
in Bundang, Kaywon is a
well-known arts high school
like the one depicted in
the drama. It has a beautiful
campus designed with modern
architecture. The school
has four departments (fine
arts, drama & cinema,
music, and dance) and is
intensely competitive, enrolling
only 320 students into eight
classes each year. All the
school scenes were filmed
at Kaywon. However, since
it is an educational institution,
sightseeing at the school
is restricted. 
Lee
Shin and Chae-gyeong hide
their true feelings by acting
cold to one another. Their
misunderstanding grows and
they quarrel every day,
worrying the people around
them. But after they reveal
their love, they boldly
kiss in the middle of a
crowded street. This scene
was shot in the heart of
Myeongdong, one of the busiest
shopping districts in Korea.
If you happened to be impressed
by this scene, you should
visit Myeongdong where you
can enjoy sightseeing and
shopping. 
Lee
Shin and Chae-gyeong spend
their fourth night together
at the House of the Mind.
On Yul's birthday, the couple
visits this inn with their
friends, who force them
to spend the night in the
same room. In one scene,
they playfully change their
clothes, but the ambience
becomes more and more romantic.
If you felt your heart beat
during the shower scene
of model-turned-actor Ju
Ji-hun (playing Lee Shin
in the drama), you may want
to visit this inn, located
in Yangpyeong. House of
Mind, which has two buildings
(six rooms), features unique
architecture, and was shown
many times by the media
before filming even began.
It is exceedingly popular,
so weekend reservations
must be made a month in
advance. 
Lee
Shin and Chae-gyeong's honeymoon
was located in Gangneung
in Gangwon-do Province.
They go by car and arrive
at the seaside. Do you remember
the scene in which Lee Shin
affectionately gazes at
Chae-gyeong as she sleeps?
They enjoyed moments together
walking on the beach, grocery
shopping, and making an
enjoyable dinner. At night,
they find themselves in
the same bed again. Seongyojang
is a large private residence
with four residential buildings.
It is a major tourist destination
in Gangneung and was designated
as an Important Folk Material
no. 5. Accommodations are
not available, but this
place is open for sightseeing.
During
their trip to Jeju Island,
Chae-gyeong and the empress
visit the Teddy Bear Museum.
This is the world's largest
museum that is wholly dedicated
to teddy bears. The museum
has on exhibit a wide collection
of teddy bears from all
over the world and is a
great place to take pictures.
As Chae-gyeong thinks about
Lee Shin back in Seoul,
she is shocked when he suddenly
appears. Her expression
brightens and she looks
just like a teddy bear.
If you remember this scene,
you may want to visit the
museum. Here, you will find
the teddy bear that Chae-gyeong
pretended was Lee Shin.
