Dec 24, 2024

SBS has unveiled its first glimpse of the upcoming drama “The Haunted Palace”!

During the 2024 SBS Drama Awards, SBS aired the first teaser for “The Haunted Palace,” a new fantasy historical romance drama starring BTOB’s Yook Sungjae, WJSN’s Bona, and Kim Ji Hoon.

“The Haunted Palace” follows the story of Yeo Ri (Bona), a shaman who rejects her destiny as a spiritual medium, and Gang Cheol Yi, an Imugi (mythical serpent) trapped in the body of Yeo Ri’s first love Yoon Gap (Yook Sungjae). Together, they face a vengeful Eight Feet Tall spirit targeting the royal family.

The teaser begins with a romantic mood as the upright and handsome scholar Yoon Gap reunites with Yeo Ri and the two set off on a journey to Hanyang. However, the sweet atmosphere is shattered by the sudden appearance of Gang Cheol Yi (Kim Young Kwang), a mischievous and malevolent Imugi visible only to Yeo Ri, who has harbored a long-standing grudge against him since childhood. Gang Cheol Yi grumpily declares, “Hanyang? Absolutely not!” stirring curiosity about the hidden story between him and Yeo Ri.

The tension escalates when Gang Cheol Yi suddenly possesses Yoon Gap’s body. The once-dignified scholar vanishes, replaced by Gang Cheol Yi’s erratic and bizarre behavior. A frustrated Yeo Ri laments, “This is the face I treasure the most, and now it’s inhabited by the one I hate the most!” Meanwhile, Gang Cheol Yi, unable to leave Yoon Gap’s body, grumbles, “Why on earth can’t I get out of this body?”

Adding another layer of intrigue, Gang Cheol Yi begins to feel attracted to Yeo Ri. His confusion and awkward reactions to his newfound human emotions further tease the unique love-hate relationship between the Imugi and the shaman.

Toward the end of the teaser, the tension intensifies with the appearance of the vengeful Eight Feet Tall spirit targeting the royal family. Yi Sung (Kim Ji Hoon), the king of Joseon, declares, “If it’s my blood you desire, so be it,” signaling an all-out battle. Scenes of the palace and city descending into chaos with people possessed by evil spirits, create an intense and thrilling atmosphere.

The teaser concludes with glimpses of Gang Cheol Yi, Yeo Ri, and Yi Sung joining forces to face the Eight Feet Tall spirit, raising anticipation for their teamwork.
