Key Facts
Netflix has released new stills for its upcoming series 'The East Palace,' offering a glimpse into the mysterious curse that envelops the palace. The drama stars Nam Joo Hyuk, Roh Yoon Seo, and Cho Seung Woo, and is set to premiere on July 17.
Details of the Drama
'The East Palace' follows Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), a man who can traverse the world of ghosts, and Saeng Gang (Roh Yoon Seo), a court lady with the ability to hear ghosts. They are summoned by the King (Cho Seung Woo) to uncover the secrets of a cursed palace.
The newly released stills depict an eerie atmosphere within the palace. The King is seen holding Prince Yeongan (Jo Dan) in his arms, his face a mix of desperation and fear. In another image, he forces Gu Cheon to kneel, revealing his cold charisma. Despite the King's disbelief in curses or ghosts, he has summoned Gu Cheon to the palace for an unknown reason.
Under the King's command, Gu Cheon begins investigating the curse alongside Saeng Gang. Tension rises as Gu Cheon is shown walking into a pond with a rope around his neck, and Saeng Gang draws a bow. In the ghost world, Gu Cheon carries a markedly different presence, hinting at his central role in the mysterious events.
A red aura surrounds Gu Cheon, and unfamiliar landscapes suggest the existence of another space connected to reality—the 'world of ghosts.' Saeng Gang is seen listening intently to sounds from unseen sources, indicating her role in uncovering the truth.
Additional stills show black vines engulfing the King's bedchamber, and Gu Cheon and Saeng Gang standing by a pond, preparing to enter the ghost world.
