"Queen of Tears"(눈물의 여왕): Pear Blossom Field in Asan (아산 배밭), filming location

In the drama “Queen of Tears,” a beautiful scene captivates people’s attention in “Pear Blossom Field” in Asan.

A helicopter arrives, stirring up the wind and noise, at a field covered with white pear blossoms. From there, the beautiful female protagonist descends, her pastel-colored skirt fluttering, to meet the male protagonist.

The male lead, Kim Soo-hyun, falls in love with the female lead, who works at Queens Group in the drama. However, upon learning that she is the daughter of a conglomerate family, he flees from her, back to his hometown.

Unable to forget him, the female lead calls him and tells him to come out immediately. It is at this moment that she appears, riding a helicopter.

Furthermore, the female lead makes a promise to the male lead: “I’ll make sure you don’t shed tears.” This line corresponds to the title and theme of the drama, “Queen of Tears.” This dialogue is also quite different from typical Korean dramas, where usually men make promises to women, ensuring they won’t cry.

In typical romantic movies, actions that male protagonists would typically take are instead performed by the female protagonist in this drama. This might be why people find it more intriguing. Is it a form of vicarious satisfaction for women?

Beauty of Pear Blossom Field in Asan

Surprisingly, this captivating scene unfolds in a pear blossom field. Pears are a familiar and delicious fruit for Koreans, unlike the pears in the West, which are very large, round, with soft flesh and plenty of juice, making them a favorite for everyone.

However, not many people have seen a pear orchard. In this drama, the beauty of the pear blossom field is highlighted alongside romantic scenes. At first glance, viewers are astonished by the fantastic field covered with small, white petals resembling fog flowers or cherry blossoms. I also found it surprising when I later learned that the field was a pear blossom orchard. I had never seen pear blossoms before, let alone realized they could be so beautiful.

When you visit Korea, be sure to taste Korean pears and visit Asan Pear Orchard to experience the fresh air and romantic atmosphere amidst the beauty of pear blossoms.

This stunning background is none other than the the Asan Dunpo Sinwang Farm. This location is revealed to be none other than the Cheonwangji 3- gil and Asan Dunpo Sinwang Farm Paddy Fields in Asan, Cheungcheong-namdo, Korea.

From mid-April to early May, the Asan Dunpo Sinwang Farm transforms into a fantastic ocean of pear blossoms, painting a panoramic view of white petals that captivates all who enjoy it.

But beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Asan Dunpo Sinwang Farm holds a deeper significance in the lives of its residers. Then, pear trees thrive, nurtured by the rich soil and abundant sun. The locals proudly partake their secret to cultivating similar succulent pears the trees are nourished with the remnants of makgeolli, a traditional Korean rice wine, enhancing their agreeableness.

And by the way, when you visit the Asan Pear Orchard, be sure to taste Korean pears. Pears are often used as a seasoning in Korean meat dishes because they aid in digestion. Pears are delicious to eat on their own as well.

The pears purchased directly from the pear orchard are fresh and delicious, as they skip the distribution process. You might even feel like buying a whole truckload of them!
