For the past few days, I've been rewatching Korean dramas with a royal setting. Why? I'm fascinated by the figures of the various queens who are able to protect the throne and possess the power to protect their people. I rewatched The Queen's Umbrella.
In this story, I see the queen as a formidable figure, protecting her children, her throne, and playing other strategic roles to support the king, both as a confidant and as a wife. What's fascinating is the queen's strategy and her flexibility on the throne.

Next, I watched Queen Who and Queen Who Crown. The stories are equally compelling, especially the second story, which is very captivating. So, of these dramas, the first place I want to visit is Kyongbokung. I want to see the grandeur of the kingdom in ancient times.
How vast the place is. I want to see firsthand and experience the queen running to protect her children, as in the drama Under the Queen's Umbrella. Not only that, Kyongbokung is also a priceless cultural heritage. It lives on and survives to this day.

In Kyongbokung, I wanted to see the Queen's Palace firsthand. What was there? How far was it from the King's Palace? Kyongbokung isn't just a tourist destination. Unlike Indonesia, a number of ancient kingdoms remain buried to this day.
So, I wanted to experience what life was like in a magnificent palace, especially as a place where the queen could organize strategic matters. Are there any other places I'd like to visit in Korea? I'd visit the Hai River. Enjoy the sunrise and have a relaxing chat while reading a book.
Korea has many tourist destinations, from food to fashionable clothing. There are even many cafes frequented by idols. Will I visit them? Sure, but my main goal is to visit the Han River and Kyongbokung. That's all I can share. What do you think? See you again.
