In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "The Haunted Palace," Kim Ji-yeon and Kim Ji-hoon finally conduct a celestial ritual after discovering the true identity of the eight-legged ghost.

SBS Friday-Saturday drama "The Haunted Palace" (scripted by Yoon Soo-jung, directed by Yoon Sung-sik) is a body dispute fantasy romantic comedy featuring a shaman named Yeori, who rejects her fate as a medium, and the imugi Kang-cheol, trapped within the body of Yeori's first love, Yoon-gap, as they confront the eight-legged ghost, who bears a grudge against the royal family, resulting in a tangled predicament of body and soul.

In the previously aired 13th episode, it was revealed that the eight-legged ghost was once a military officer, Cheon Geum-hwi (played by Seo Do-young), and became a malevolent spirit due to his intense grudge against King Yeonjong (played by Lee Gyu-han), who exterminated the people of Yongdam Valley a century ago to save his own life.

Having learned this truth, Lee Jeong (played by Kim Ji-hoon) expressed his intention to sincerely apologize to the eight-legged ghost for the sins of the previous king through the celestial ritual, while Kang-cheol (played by Yook Sung-jae), Yeori (played by Kim Ji-yeon), and Monk Gaseop (played by Lee Won-jong) join forces to announce the decisive celestial ritual on the 100th anniversary of the eight-legged ghost's birth. However, due to a scheme by Poongsan (played by Kim Sang-ho), Yoon-gap's (played by Yook Sung-jae) spirit returns to his physical body, and Kang-cheol's whereabouts become uncertain, drawing considerable attention to the upcoming developments.

Meanwhile, the production team of "The Haunted Palace" has released a glimpse of the celestial ritual ground for the eight-legged ghost, capturing the viewers' attention. In the revealed stills, Yeori is clad in a pure white shroud, engaging in the ritual with a more solemn atmosphere than usual. Given the significant ceremony tied to the ghost's obliteration, her determined gaze conveys a strong resolve. Echoing this sentiment, Eung-soon (played by Kim In-gwon), who attended the celestial ritual, also appears tense, combining both anxiety and earnestness, as he prays for the ritual's success, heightening the tension.

At that moment, Lee Jeong (played by Kim Ji-hoon) and Monk Gaseop (played by Lee Won-jong) are captured in a frozen moment as they witness something. Both are so shocked that they seem unable to move even a single step as if time has stopped. In particular, Lee Jeong's precarious state as he loses his balance adds to the urgency. An unexpected crisis occurs in the midst of the celestial ritual, leaving everyone curious about what has caused such a freeze and whether the decisive celestial ritual can conclude safely. Expectations are high for the broadcast of "The Haunted Palace," which is rapidly heading into its climax, with developments that are impossible to predict.

Meanwhile, the 14th episode of SBS Friday-Saturday drama "The Haunted Palace" will be aired tonight at 9:50 p.m.
