A Joseon-era villain (Kang Dan-shim) fated for execution awakens in the body of a modern Seoul woman named Shin Seo-ri. As she navigates a world five centuries removed from her own, the boundary between past and present begins to collapse around the people closest to her.
A time-slip fantasy shot across Joseon-era open sets at Yongin and Mungyeong and modern Seoul locations including Ilmin Museum of Art and Jeju's Bimil Forest — bridging five centuries within a single production.
Where to watch
Filming Locations
용인 대장금파크 경기도 용인시 기흥구 상갈동 148
The Joseon-era open set at Daejanggeum Park in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do. Reproduced palace grounds, market streets, and tile-roofed alleyways serve as the backdrop for Kang Dan-shim's final moments in the Joseon dynasty. One of the largest period drama sets in Korea.
문경새재 오픈세트장 경북 문경시 문경읍 새재로 932
The Mungyeongsaejae open set in North Gyeongsang Province, combining mountainous terrain with period military barracks and government office sets. Used for the confrontation scene immediately before Kang Dan-shim's execution. The mountain backdrop amplifies the period drama's weight.
일민미술관 서울 종로구 세종로 13
Ilmin Museum of Art at 13 Sejong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, near Gwanghwamun Square. It appears as part of present-day Shin Seo-ri's daily environment. The museum's location — within sight of Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung — makes it a symbolically loaded space where Joseon-era memory and the modern present occupy the same geography.
제주 비밀의숲 제주특별자치도 서귀포시 안덕면
Bimil Forest (Secret Forest) near Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo, Jeju Island. Dense cedar groves wrapped in mist provide the backdrop for scenes where Kang Dan-shim's past memories and Shin Seo-ri's present collide at the border of dream and reality. Jeju's otherworldly landscape amplifies the drama's temporal ambiguity.
