Cheongwadae (sometimes also Cheong Wa Dae) [청와대] or Blue House, is the office and official residence of the President of the Republic of Korea — similar to the White House in Washington D.C. Completed in 1991, this building complex’s architectural style is a modern re-interpretation of a hanok. The name ‘Cheong Wa Dae’ is derived from its blue tiles, and can be literally translated as the “pavilion of blue tiles”.

Please note that the real Blue House is not featured/used in K-dramas; rather, the set at Hapcheon Image Theme Park [합천영상테마파크] is what’s typically shown.
