All I gotta say is, it's entirely worth the $3 to get in, especially to see the Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, which is my favourite building of the entire palace. (You can see the night view of the pavilion in BTS' performance of "Mikrokosmos" for The Tonight Show. It's one of the most gorgeous structures I've ever seen.)
