This article contains minor spoilers. Advertisement Lead cast: Bona, Yook Sung-jae, Kim Ji-hoon Latest Nielsen rating: 9.2 per cent In The Haunted Palace, a period drama with shades of horror, comedy and romance, Bona ( Twenty-Five Twenty-One ) and Yook Sung-jae ( The Golden Spoon ) play a spectacles maker and a dragon in human form who find themselves within the walls of the royal palace, where they tackle a mystery.
