SBS has unveiled the teaser poster for its highly anticipated Friday-Saturday drama, The Haunted Palace – and it’s a visual symphony of intrigue and romance.
Yook Sung Jae, radiating an otherworldly aura as the enigmatic Imoogi, commands attention, while the electric chemistry between him and Kim Ji Yeon’s captivating shaman persona promises a genre-bending experience.
Set to grace our screens this April, The Haunted Palace, weaves a spellbinding narrative of fate, forbidden love, and ancient powers.
The series tells the tale of Yeo-ri, a shaman who refuses to accept her predestined fate, and Kang Cheol-i, an Imoogi who unexpectedly finds himself trapped in the body of Yeo-ri’s first love, Yoon Gap. As they cross paths with the Eight-Cented Demon—who harbors a deep grudge against the royal family—their lives become entangled in ways neither could have foreseen.
Bringing this spellbinding story to life is director Yoon Sung-sik, renowned for his work on Mr. Queen, Bridal Mask, Daejoyeong, and The Best Lee Soon-sin. He joins forces with screenwriter Yoon Soo-jung, the mastermind behind The King’s Face and Cheer Up, to create a drama that blends romance, fantasy, and historical intrigue. The cast lineup further heightens anticipation, with Yook Sung-jae portraying both Yoon Gap and the Imoogi Kang Cheol-i, Kim Ji-yeon as the determined and strong-willed Yeo-ri, and Kim Ji-hoon as Lee Jung, whose role in this mystical tale remains shrouded in mystery.
