Hey drama lovers!
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get hyped about “The Haunted Palace”, this is it. SBS has dropped some seriously intense stills featuring Yook Sungjae and Kim Ji Yeon (aka Bona from the K-pop group WJSN), and they are pure K-drama gold. These images alone are telling a story, and it’s giving danger, drama, and a whole lot of mystery.
The Forest of Fear
The first set of stills captures Yoon Gab (played by Yook Sungjae) and Yeo Ri (played by Kim Ji Yeon) wandering through a dark, dense forest. But this isn’t a peaceful walk. Their expressions are tense, their eyes scanning the shadows, and every frame screams one thing, they’re in serious danger. The lighting, the setting, and their anxious body language tell us that something supernatural is lurking just out of sight.
It’s the kind of forest scene that has you yelling at your screen, “Don’t go in there!” (But they always do.)
Blood, Blades, and That Look
Then comes the jaw-dropper, Yoon Gab, drenched in blood, staring down the blade of a sword. His face is twisted in anger, pain, and something else… maybe fear? Maybe fury? Either way, this still is unforgettable. It’s raw, emotional, and makes you wonder what went down just before this moment. Was he attacked? Is he protecting Yeo Ri? We need answers!
Possession Gets Real
Just when you think things can’t get more dramatic, boom, Yoon Gab is seen with an entirely different expression. Cold. Empty. Possessed. Yup, this is when the Imugi spirit Gang Cheol takes over.
He grabs Yeo Ri by the shoulders, his eyes now distant and emotionless. She looks completely stunned, confused, and clearly hurt by the sudden shift. The emotional whiplash is real, and the still perfectly captures the heartbreaking tension between them.
On the Edge, Literally
One of the most gripping stills shows Yeo Ri standing at the edge of a cliff. She’s alone, vulnerable, and looks like she’s moments away from something irreversible. The shot is dramatic and haunting, suggesting a major turning point in the story. Is she escaping something? Being led by a spirit? Or confronting her fate?
Whatever it is, the stakes have officially skyrocketed.
A Visual Tease for K-Drama Lovers
These stills aren’t just pretty promo pics, they give us a powerful glimpse into the emotional and supernatural chaos ahead. Whether you’re a fan of Yook Sung Jae’s drama list or just love seeing Bona take on bold new roles, these photos prove “The Haunted Palace” is about to deliver something unforgettable.
