All to Know About Upcoming Historical Kdrama The Haunted Palace
The Haunted Palace Plot
The tale of three lives entangled together when a creature possesses one of them, leading them into the royal palace where more spirits await their arrival. This is a story that is filled with the hidden horrors of the royal palace, the schemes that create chaos within these walls, and a trio that finds it hard to work together.
Yun Gap is a government officer working in the palace who is known for his good reputation and handsome appearance. However, everything changes one day when he is possessed by an Imoogi creature. This turns his reputation around, and now everyone thinks that he has lost his mind. Yun Gap soon discovers that the creature possessing him is related to his first love- Yeo Ri.
Being the only granddaughter of a famous shaman, Yeo Ri’s life has always been about becoming a shaman herself. Adding on the fact that she has a divine gift, things were never under her control. However, she refused to accept her fate and worked as a glass craftswoman. So when the Imoogi comes to her in need of her body to ascend to Heaven, she straight out rejects it. This leads to the Imoogi entering Yun Gap’s body. In the middle of this mess, Yeo Ri enters the royal palace filled with powerful female ghosts and evil spirits.
On the other hand, we have King Yi Seong, who is a reformist monarch and dreams of a strong Joseon nation. But when weird and terrible incidents begin to take place within the palace, he gets Yun Gap and Yeo Ri to help him out in dealing with them. Will they be able to get rid of these ghosts who hold a strong grudge against the royal family, or will they succumb in front of their power?
What is the secret behind these ghosts in the palace? What schemes are taking place that even the King has no idea about?
