Kim Ji-yeon from "Haunted Palace" has perfectly transformed into a shaman.
On the 3rd, her agency King Kong by Starship released several behind-the-scenes photos of Kim Ji-yeon, who is appearing as 'Yeori,' the only granddaughter of a famous shaman and a master of eyeglasses, in the SBS Friday and Saturday drama "Haunted Palace" (written by Yoon Soo-jung and directed by Yoon Seong-sik).
In the released photos, Kim Ji-yeon captures attention at once with her fresh visuals. She creates a sacred atmosphere with a neat hairstyle and tidy outfit, playing a scene where Yeori conducts a sacred ritual for the priest, Lee Seong-jae.
In another photo, Kim Ji-yeon shines with a determined gaze as the shaman Yeori facing the Pal-cheong-gi. Attention is drawn to her intense focus as she monitors a scene to exorcise the Pal-cheong-gi. It is said that Kim Ji-yeon worked hard for realistic portrayal, learning recitation and dance from an expert before shooting, and consulting on every movement on set.
In this way, Kim Ji-yeon boasts a high synchronization rate with her shaman character, adding unique fun to the fantasy genre. She evokes empathy with her warm side as Yeori, who, while rejecting her destiny as a natural medium, encounters various resentful spirits and helps resolve their grudges, while also demonstrating bravery by directly confronting the Pal-cheong-gi with her fierce eyes and resolute tone, making viewers root for her. As Yeori prepares to confront the Pal-cheong-gi after entering the palace, attention is focused on the story that Kim Ji-yeon will continue in "Haunted Palace."
Meanwhile, the 6th episode of the SBS Friday and Saturday drama "Haunted Palace," featuring Kim Ji-yeon, Lee Seong-jae, and Kim Ji-hoon, will air on the 3rd at 9:55 p.m.
