Today (24th), the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Haunted Palace' featuring Yook Sung-jae, Kim Ji-yeon, and Kim Ji-hoon finally heads to Yongdamgol to uncover the identity of the eight-legged ghost.
The drama kingdom SBS, uniquely showcasing in 2025, is gaining attention with the fantasy historical drama 'The Haunted Palace' (written by Yoon Su-jung/directed by Yoon Sung-sik), which tells the story of a shaman, Yeori, who rejects her fate as a medium, and the Imugi, Kang-cheol, trapped in the body of Yeori's first love, Yun-gap, who encounters the eight-legged ghost that harbors a grudge against the royal family, resulting in a fierce battle for the body and soul.
In the previously aired 11th episode, the shocking ending showed the Imugi's younger brother Bibi (played by Jo Han-gyeol) disappearing after being robbed of the luminous pearl by Poongsan (played by Kim Sang-ho). Along with this, Kang-cheol (played by Yook Sung-jae), Yeori (played by Kim Ji-yeon), and Prince Lee Jeong (played by Kim Ji-hoon) deduced that the eight-legged ghost was someone who harbored a grudge against the king, Yeon-jong, 100 years ago and was present in Yongdamgol at the moment of death, taking a step closer to uncovering the eight-legged ghost's identity. Consequently, the attention is focused on the heightened powers of the eight-legged ghost's group after absorbing Bibi's luminous pearl and the steps taken by Kang-cheol, Yeori, and Lee Jeong as they come closer to unraveling the identity of the eight-legged ghost.
Related to this, the team behind 'The Haunted Palace' draws attention by revealing the unusual events surrounding Kang-cheol, Yeori, and Lee Jeong. The stills released show the three of them on the brink of confronting the identity of the eight-legged ghost that has persistently tormented them, unable to conceal their complex feelings amid a heavy silence. In particular, to fully exorcise the eight-legged ghost, they must completely exhaust the Imugi's luminous pearl. The sight of Kang-cheol lost in anguish and Yeori looking at him with concern tugs at the viewers' hearts.
Additionally, Lee Jeong's expression, filled with complex emotions due to the impending royal family secrets, captures attention. He desperately hopes for the exorcism of the eight-legged ghost to protect the family, but as the king of a nation, he must face the royal family's secrets that have drawn a terrible grudge from someone. Curiosity peaks about what led the eight-legged ghost to harbor such a dreadful grudge and what occurred on the day Kang-cheol ascended 100 years ago. Furthermore, there is great anticipation as to whether Kang-cheol, Yeori, and Lee Jeong will be able to exorcise the eight-legged ghost, which is ramping up the excitement for 'The Haunted Palace' flowing toward the climax.
