Why go

Mungyeongsaejae Open Set is a large permanent outdoor film set in Mungyeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, set near the Mungyeong Saejae historic mountain pass. The set was originally built by KBS and other Korean broadcasters as a working production location for Korean historical (sageuk) drama series, and many major Korean historical TV dramas have been filmed at the site. The set reproduces a Joseon-era town environment in detailed period style — wooden palace gates, a market street, traditional Korean houses, palace courtyards, government office buildings — and is open to the public when not in active filming use. For visitors who follow Korean historical TV drama, walking the set is a chance to step into the actual locations seen on screen. Best paired with the broader Mungyeong Saejae historic pass walk for a full Mungyeong day.
