Has The Haunted Palace Been Renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, The Haunted Palace has not been renewed for season 2.
While the K-drama industry is changing its format, we are yet to see multiple-season shows. Sure, dramas like Strong Girl Nam-soon, Doctor Romantic and Taxi Driver 2 appear to be an exception thanks to their roaring success. But it is unlikely that we will get The Haunted Palace season 2 at the moment, especially since SBS historical K-drama sequels are pretty rare.
What do we know about The Haunted Palace Season 2?
Not much is known about The Haunted Palace Season 2 at the moment given that it has not been greenlit. A prequel could explore Gangcheori's past, the previous King's rule or even the attack on Yongdam Village. There is also plenty of material for a sequel as the shamans go about resolving supernatural incidents around the country.
If the K-drama does return, you can expect a season with approximately 16 episodes, each lasting around 50 minutes. However, nothing is confirmed yet, but we'll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in.

MF Husain: How India's 'biggest art deal' buried masterpieces in a bank vault
Nearly two dozen paintings by one of the world's most celebrated modern artists - once part of a record-breaking art deal - are set to hit the auction block for the first time next 12 June, 25 rare MF Husain paintings will go under the hammer at an art gallery in Mumbai city, more than two decades after he painted them. This will be the first public glimpse of the paintings, locked away in bank vaults since 2008 after authorities seized them from a prominent businessman over an alleged loan default."It's like the paintings have come full circle," says Dadiba Pundole, director of Pundole Art Gallery, where the auction is set to be used the gallery as his studio for many of these works, part of an ambitious 100-painting series he never finished. Often called the "Picasso of India," he was one of the country's most celebrated - and controversial - artists. His works have fetched millions, but his bold themes often drew criticism. He died in 2011, aged MF Husain: An Artist's Vision of the XX Century, the 25 paintings at Pundole'a gallery offer a glimpse into his take on a transformative century shaped by leaps in technology, politics, and culture. Pundole has estimated that the auction could fetch up to $29m (£21m).This comes months after another Husain painting, Untitled (Gram Yatra), sold for an unprecedented $13.8m at a Christie's auction in New York, becoming the most expensive Indian artwork to be oil-on-canvas masterpiece had adorned the walls of a Norwegian hospital for almost five decades, forgotten by the art world, until the auction house was alerted about its presence in 2013. The latest paintings to be auctioned seem to follow a similar began working on them in the early 2000s, with great excitement and vigour, recalls Pundole."When he was painting, nothing could disturb him. It didn't matter what was happening around him," he 2004, Husain sold 25 paintings to a Mumbai businessman as the first instalment of a billion-rupee Singh, author of MF Husain: The Journey of a Legend, wrote about this agreement in the Indian Express newspaper."He [Husain] wasn't jealous of fellow artists, but he was competitive," Singh writes, noting that Husain struck the deal soon after Tyeb Mehta's Kali [an Indian goddess] set a new record for India's most expensive painting in 2002, selling for 15 million struck a billion rupees deal with businessman Guru Swarup Srivastava for this series of paintings. Media dubbed it "India's biggest art deal," catapulting the little-known Srivastava into overnight fame as a celebrity two years later, India's top crime agency, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), began investigating Srivastava's business, alleging he and associates had misused a loan from a government-backed agricultural CBI alleged Srivastava diverted the funds into real estate, mutual funds, and Husain paintings. He and his company deny all charges; the case remains in 2008, a tribunal allowed the government-backed agricultural body to seize one billion rupees in assets from Srivastava, including the 25 Husain February this year, a court cleared the way for the paintings to be auctioned to recover part of the loan. And so, after years locked away in bank vaults, the 25 paintings are finally stepping into the spotlight. In a 2018 interview to author and journalist Tara Kaushal, Srivastava spoke about his stalled deal with the artist."I had planned to pay Husain for the rest of the paintings by selling the first 25. But legal complications meant that, when Husain called me in 2008 saying the paintings were ready in London and Paris, and to pick them up at the agreed price, my funds were not ready. He understood," he why Husain had chosen to sell his paintings to a person who almost nobody knew in India's elite art circles, Pundole says, "He didn't care. As long as his paintings were sold."There's no way to know how Husain felt about the failed deal or his unfinished 20th Century series - but the episode remains a striking footnote in his bold, eventful career. The 25 paintings in this series, vibrant acrylics on canvas, showcase Husain's bold style while reflecting key 20th-century events and social attitudes. One painting shows an unlikely group chatting on a bench, symbolising Husain's call for peaceful dialogue and coexistence among global painting honours Charlie Chaplin while juxtaposing a rocket launch to highlight the contrast between social and economic disparities and massive state paintings depict a world battling poverty, soldiers in trenches, and humanity confronting tragedies like World War Two, the Partition, and the Holocaust.

Mercy for None – K-drama Episode 1 Recap & Review
Episode 1 Episode 1 of Mercy for None begins in Yeouido, Seoul, in 2010. A man named Gi-jun tells his younger brother, Gi-seok, that he's spoken to Chairman Lee Ju-woon. Gi-seok can join the company soon. Gi-jun then heads out to a fight between two gangs. We watch him easily take down a fighter from the other gang, who had previously taken down several men. We then shift to the present day. A manager from Bongsan Group finds himself kidnapped by two foreign assassins who make quick work of him. Chairman Gu Bong-san of Bongsan Group and Chairman Lee Ju-woon of Juwoon Group discuss this matter over a meal. Bong-san describes how his son, Gu Jun-mo, hired foreign assassins to kill his manager after he found some business discrepancies. Chairman Bong-san doesn't want to get involved directly since he is Jun-mo's father, so he asks Ju-woon to take care of the foreign assassins and clean up the mess. In return, he offers help with a real estate issue. Chairman Ju-woon agrees and gives this task to Gi-seok, who is now senior managing director and also set to be Ju-woon's successor. However, Gi-seok wants to quit his job. Despite this, he takes up the work and visits Jun-mo along with his junior, Cheon Hae-beom. Gi-seok tells the foreign assassins to leave within three days. Jun-mo isn't happy about this and taunts Gi-seok by bringing up Gi-jun. Apparently, Gi-jun had created a mess and both the chairmen cleaned it up. They let him live but they cut his Achilles tendon to make up for it. With a couple of strikes, Gi-seok takes Jun-mo down and walks away while Jun-mo screams death threats at him. Meanwhile, a Bongsan manager named Kim Chun-seok gets a call and is shocked to learn that Gi-seok has gone to meet Jun-mo in person. Gi-seok then heads out to meet Gi-jun, who is living at a campsite in the middle of the woods. They're meeting after six years. Gi-seok tells him that Chairman Ju-woon wants him to be the successor but that he has mixed feelings about it. Gi-jun realises something is wrong. Back home, Gi-seok gets the feeling that someone is in the house. He goes down to the parking lot and finds a cat. However, as he's feeding the cat, a masked man attacks him. More men come out of the shadows — this is an ambush. Gi-seok easily takes them all down. He lets the last man go but when his back is turned, the man attacks and stabs Gi-seok. In the woods, Gi-jun gets a phone call. The scene skips to Gi-seok's funeral, where Juwoon employees come to pay their respects. As do Chairman Gu Bong-san and Jun-mo. Outside, Ju-woon's manager, Choi Seong-cheol speaks to Kim Chun-seok, hinting that Bongsan was behind the attack. Chun-seok tells him that it was just some runaway kids, as the police have verified. Just then, prosecutor Lee Geum-son, Lee Ju-woon's oldest son, arrives to pay his respects. However, Seong-cheol asks him to leave since his father doesn't want him here. Gi-jun then shows up and Seong-cheol has everyone bow to him. He takes Gi-jun to Gi-seok's body and Gi-jun asks if it was really just kids. Elsewhere, the two chairmen discuss the matter of Ju-woon's successor. Gi-jun enters the room and brings up the pact they made 11 years ago. Gi-jun had promised not to show his face again and the chairmen had promised to keep his brother safe. When they don't offer any more information about his brother's death, Gi-jun leaves. Outside, Hae-beom introduces himself to Gi-jun. Gi-jun then goes to Gi-seok's house, where he finds books on camping. He also finds a birthday gift that Gi-seok was going to send him. Gi-jun then wraps a band around his ankle, the one with a scar. Gi-jun then goes to the police station. He wants to meet the suspect in his brother's murder case. The detectives tell him it's not allowed but Gi-jun insinuates he knows something about the detective. Gi-jun is allowed to meet him. The young man, Hui-chan, shows no remorse but he accidentally reveals he has a brother as well. Gi-jun goes after the younger brother and finds Hui-cheon's entire gang corners him. Turns out, this was his plan to find the people who killed Gi-seok. The fight begins and Gi-jun mows through them easily. After all the men are down, he goes towards the younger brother. An epilogue of Mercy for None Episode 1 shows Hui-chan stab Gi-seok. Gi-seok casually throws him off and all the gangsters run away. He then removes the knife in his side and heads back out of the parking lot. But someone's waiting for him on the other side of the door. The Episode Review Episode 1 of Mercy for None is a gripping and thrilling pilot. The episode drops us right into the heart of gangs, murders, and power dynamics. It establishes the two gangs, Bongsan and Juwoon groups, quite well and introduces us to all the important players too. We get a taste of what Gi-jun was like and what Gi-seok became, as well as their relationship as brothers. The visuals are dark and infused with plenty of neon. The action is fantastically shot here; it's sharp and uses the right amount of camera movement. It's so interesting to see that Gi-jun and Gi-seok's fighting styles are different as well, the former's a lot more violent and messy when compared to Gi-seok's cleaner moves. Along with the serious tone and gritty storyline, this one looks to be a solid, enjoyable neo noir. On to episode 2! Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
