“The Haunted Palace” Unleashes Enchanting Character Posters Featuring Yook Sung Jae and Kim Ji Yeon

Premiering on April 18th, following The Haunted Palace weaves a spellbinding tale of Yeo-ri, a shaman determined to defy her destiny, and Kang Cheol, a millennium-old imoogi spirit trapped within the body of her first love, Yoon Gap. As they confront a vengeful eight-faced ghost haunting the royal family, their lives – and souls – become inextricably linked.

Helmed by the acclaimed director Yoon Sung-sik of hits like Mr. Queen and penned by Yoon Soo-jung, known for The King’s Face, the series promises a delightful blend of humor, romance, and the supernatural. The fresh chemistry between Yook Sungjae (Yoon Gap/Kang Cheol), Kim Jiyeon (Yeo-ri), and Kim Ji Hoon (Lee Jung) is already generating buzz.

The newly unveiled character posters offer a tantalizing glimpse into the dual roles of Yook Sung Jae and the resolute spirit of Kim Jiyeon. Yook Sungjae embodies the formidable presence of the imoogi, Kang Cheol, who has taken over Yoon Gap’s mortal form. His poster exudes an aura of mischievous power, with a confident smirk and a scaled black robe hinting at his otherworldly origins. The imposing giant sword and the backdrop depicting an ascending imoogi further amplify his undeniable charisma, setting the stage for Yook Sungjae’s portrayal of the ancient spirit’s multifaceted charm.

Meanwhile, Kim Jiyeon captivates with an elegant yet determined gaze. Dressed in a martial arts-inspired green uniform, her poster sparks curiosity about Yeo-ri’s defiance of her shamanic calling. The imoogi-etched fan she holds subtly foreshadows the inseparable bond between her and Kang Cheol. Kim Jiyeon’s portrayal promises a strong-willed character whose pure soul has somehow ensnared the heart of the ancient serpent.

Intriguing taglines on each poster hint at the tumultuous “hate romance” to come. Yook Sungjae’s Kang Cheol scoffs, “You’re going to find that guy’s soul and bring it back? That’s ridiculous!“, while Kim Jiyeon’s resolute Yeo-ri declares, “Nari, I will definitely save you.” These lines tease the constant bickering and complex dynamic between the possessed first love and the fate-rejecting shaman.

Anticipation is soaring for the unprecedented “imoogi and shaman” pairing of Yook Sungjae and Kim Jiyeon as they embark on a thrilling and clandestine love story amidst supernatural threats.

The Haunted Palace is set to premiere on Friday, April 18th at 9:50 PM KST, promising a unique and enchanting addition to the drama landscape.
