Queen of Tears, a Promise on the Bridge

Queen of Tears, a promise on a bridge over the Main

tvN's 2024 <Queen of Tears> drew a season-high rating of 24.9 percent and set a new bar for chaebol romance. From the Frankfurt Eiserner Steg in its official poster to its Korean locations, this drama redefined 'luxury' as architecture.

The Frankfurt shoot ran four nights and five days. The love-lock scene on the Eiserner Steg was filmed after 10 p.m. under pedestrian control with city support.

Within Korea, the Korean Stone Art Museum in Seongbuk-dong served as the Queens family mansion exterior, and The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido became Queens Department Store. The lines between tradition and modernity, public and private, were rendered through space.

Don't let me leave — that I could bear. I just can't bear you leaving me. — Hong Hae-in

What happened behind the scenes?

01
Eiserner Steg · Frankfurt
The love-lock scene was filmed on the actual bridge at night. Immediately afterward, fans began attaching their own locks; the city now removes them periodically.
02
The Hyundai Seoul · Queens Department Store
The mall scene was filmed after weekend closing, in the small hours. A large art team temporarily replaced every store's signage with the Queens logo.
03
Aqua Planet Ilsan · the proposal
The Episode 8 proposal was filmed in front of the 2,000-ton main tank. Adjusting the tank lighting was so delicate that the scene was re-shot three times.

Got lost looking for the Queens logo at The Hyundai Seoul. Start from the 5th floor.

Don't attach locks at Eiserner Steg (the city removes them). Photos only.
@frankfurt_travel · 2024.07
Aqua Planet's proposal scene looks best right before closing — that's when the light hits.
