The Haunted Palace: Plot and trailer
In The Haunted Palace, Yoon Gab (Yook Sung-jae), a respected official of the royal palace, is possessed by an Imoogi, triggering rumors of his instability and lack of composure.

The Imoogi's intention is to use Yeo-ri's body to elevate itself, thus causing Yeo-ri to enter the palace that already suffers from the vengeful spirits of the royal family. Adding to the chaos, reformist King Lee Sung (Kim Ji-hoon) must figure out how to maintain order in the royal palace while dealing with the supernatural.
As Yoon Gab, Yeo-ri, and the King work together, they slowly uncover dark secrets to rid the palace of undead souls.
The teaser of The Haunted Palace reveals Kang Cheol's plight as an Imoogi. In a contrasting storyline, Yeo-ri is fixated on the warm smile of her first love, Yoon Gap.
Yoon Gap's sudden and unpredictable antics, from feasting with reckless abandon to defying palace decorum, bring a comedic twist to the drama. The teaser highlights his irreverent actions, such as grabbing the king’s collar and challenging human hierarchies, while Yeo-ri desperately tries to contain the chaos.
While the hijinks unfold, romantic sparks whisper, and Kang Cheol awkwardly and sadly observes Yeo-ri.
