There are a few cases in which a broadcasting company and the local government authority in their joint efforts, turned an outdoor set into a tourist attraction. Still, there has never been an attempt to create a theme park from an outdoor drama set. The existing set-turned tourists spots show only the drama set itself and therefore, there is not much to see other than that. But the Dae Jang Geum Theme Park combines the drama scenes and stories into a particular theme and provides various things to see and experience.

Unlike the other drama sets, this theme park didn¡¯t just establish the outside of a building, but actually reconstructed exactly the same whole building of the palace including all the elements inside it, except the size which is smaller than the original. So, the palace is so realistic that visitors can see what a palace actually looks like both in and outside.

Constructed along the geographical lines of the bottom of the mountains, the theme park features uniquely different sets benefiting from the natural hilly geography, and stair case-type facilities designed to allow scenes to be filmed from various angles. All the properties are displayed exactly the way they actually were used in the drama, and a wide selection of videos and photographs are available for visitors to learn about the traditional Korean culture and its history in an effort to serve as an educational facility as well.
