Get Ready for a Thrilling Ride!
Okay, K-drama fans, brace yourselves, because The Haunted Palace is about to take us on a wild supernatural rollercoaster! SBS dropped the teaser for this upcoming historical fantasy drama, and let’s just say… goosebumps are guaranteed.
Starring Yook Sungjae, Bona WJSN, and Kim Ji Hun, this drama blends mystery, horror, romance, and history, all wrapped up in a hauntingly beautiful Joseon-era setting. If you love dramas like Hotel Del Luna or Goblin, this one needs to be on your watchlist!
Yook Sungjae’s Shocking Transformation
First up, we’ve got Yook Sungjae (Mystic Pop-Up Bar, Goblin), playing Yoon Gab, a kind-hearted royal archivist who, unfortunately, ends up possessed by a powerful spirit. But not just any spirit, an Imugi, a mythical serpent-like creature that dreams of becoming a dragon. Sounds intense, right?
The teaser gives us a terrifying glimpse of his transformation. One moment, he’s Yoon Gab; the next, his eyes darken, and he declares, “I am not Yoon Gab. I am Gang Cheol.” Cue lightning, chaos, and a very panicked palace. Let’s be real, this is the kind of dramatic moment we live for in K-dramas!
Bona WJSN Fights the Supernatural as Yeo Ri
Then, we have Bona WJSN (Twenty-Five Twenty-One), playing Yeo Ri, a shaman’s granddaughter who wants nothing to do with supernatural stuff. Instead, she becomes an eyeglass artisan (which, honestly, sounds like a cool career choice).
But fate has other plans. In the teaser, we see her caught in the middle of an exorcism gone wrong. Suddenly, a dark force grabs her, pulling her into the unknown. She screams, she struggles, but we’re left wondering… can she fight back?
Kim Ji Hun’s King Yi Jeong Faces Pure Chaos
Last but definitely not least, we have Kim Ji Hun (Flower of Evil), who plays King Yi Jeong, a ruler just trying to keep his kingdom together. But how do you lead a nation when your palace is literally haunted?
The teaser shows him surrounded by swarms of creepy centipedes (eww) and facing the wrath of an Eight Feet Tall spirit with a serious grudge. With everything spiraling out of control, he’s forced to join forces with Yoon Gap (a.k.a. the possessed guy) and Yeo Ri (the reluctant shaman).
