Watch: A Possessed Yook Sungjae Battles Human Emotions As Kim Ji Yeon Desperately Wants His Human Self To Return In "The Haunted Palace" Teaser

Apr 03, 2025

SBS’s upcoming drama “The Haunted Palace” has unveiled a new teaser!

“The Haunted Palace” is a fantasy historical romantic comedy that delves into the tale of the Eight Feet Tall spirit that bears a grudge against the king, a female shaman who opposes it, and an Imugi. In Korean folklore, an Imugi is an imaginary creature that spends a millennium in water and is able to transform into a dragon upon acquiring a yeouiju (magical jewel).

BTOB’s Yook Sungjae plays Yoon Gap, a royal archivist and Yeo Ri’s first love, who becomes possessed by the evil Imugi Gang Cheol Yi. WJSN’s Kim Ji Yeon (Bona) stars as Yeo Ri, a shaman’s granddaughter with powerful spiritual abilities, who defies her fate and becomes an eyeglass artisan instead.

The newly released teaser sets the stage for an intense emotional story. Yeo Ri, her voice filled with longing and sorrow, confesses, “I miss and long for the lord so much. His face and body are right here, but it’s not him.” The chilling voice of Gang Cheol Yi, now inhabiting Yoon Gap’s body, echoes back: “This is the first time I’ve possessed a human.”

Fury flashes in Yeo Ri’s voice as she retorts, “This is the most precious face to me, but taking up the space inside it is the one I loathe most—you, Gang Cheol Yi.”

As Gang Cheol Yi grapples with the unfamiliar weight of human emotions, his lingering gaze on Yeo Ri hints at something more—a shift beyond mere possession.
