The Story
A powerful shaman and a government officer who has been possessed by an imoogi spirit team up to investigate the unusual ghostly incidents at the palace. And as they each bring their own special powers together to try to identify the vengeful spirit who has set his sights on the royal family, the pair will gain new insight into each other. Suddenly the spirit the shaman had always assumed was her arch-nemesis becomes someone she will be forced to rely on if they are going to free the King and his family from a generations-old curse.
“Now, do you understand? No human can win against a deity.” – Gang Cheol
My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
‘The Haunted Palace’ is a supernatural historical drama full of spooky curses and palace intrigue. The ghostly mystery is engaging and the themes of acceptance, revenge and atonement are thought-provoking without seeming preachy. Kim Ji Hoon is fabulous as the wise yet remarkably human King.
Unfortunately, the story does lag a bit in the middle. The ghostly elements can be a little too intense if you don’t like this style of drama. And the lead couple lacked a bit of chemistry. But I enjoyed the supernatural mystery and the strong moral themes. I give ‘The Haunted Palace’ an 8 out of 10.
