The Haunted Palace
귀궁Checked and re-read
A sageuk fantasy where a government official is possessed by a mythical creature and the show plays it for comedy, romance, and palace politics in roughly equal measure. The bromance between the king and the possessed officer is the actual draw, the romance is serviceable, and sixteen episodes is four more than the story needs. The possession premise wears thin in the middle, and the ending is obvious long before it arrives.
In a world of folklore and mysticism, a vengeful spirit and a devoted shaman cross paths, sparking a journey of love and redemption
Slow start Episode 3, once the spirit and the palace politics are properly entangled. Sixteen episodes is four more than the story has.
