The King's Affection in Namwon, Seocheon and Jeonju: 4 Spots (1 Confirmed)
Gwanghallu Garden (Gwanghalluwon)
VisitKorea's Hallyu page names Gwanghalluwon Garden as a setting for historical dramas including The King's Affection, and Korea JoongAng Daily (2022-01-26) independently names Gwanghallu Garden as a filming site for KBS's The King's Affection (2021). Neither source ties a specific scene to the garden, so no scene is claimed for this stop.
