A Joseon-era villainess fated to die awakens in modern-day Seoul, inside the body of an unknown actress. In this unfamiliar city, the ruthless corporate heir she crosses paths with may be her last chance to rewrite her fate.
A possession romance that runs on two tracks at once — a Joseon period piece and a modern chaebol drama colliding in one body. The pleasure of retracing it on foot is real: the mood of Kang Dan-sim's Hyangseondang lives at Changdeokgung, and the air of her flashbacks waits in the alleys of Bukchon.
Filming Locations
창덕궁 서울특별시 종로구 율곡로 99
The Joseon-dynasty palace whose Chwiseondang inspired Hyangseondang, where the villainess Kang Dan-sim resides. Her recurring early-episode image — seated on the wooden floor in a blue hanbok — draws on this setting, and the route through Injeongjeon and the Buyongji pond in the rear garden carries the period's atmosphere. The palace, laid out in harmony with its terrain, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
북촌한옥마을 서울특별시 종로구 가회동 31
The dense cluster of hanok where Kang Dan-sim's Joseon-era flashbacks were filmed. Perched on a ridge between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, it was once home to royals and high officials, so its overlapping tiled rooflines match the emotional register of the flashback scenes. The uphill lane around Gahoe-dong 31 is the signature photo spot, looking out over central Seoul.
