K-drama The Haunted Palace: Bona, Yook Sung-jae lead spirited period drama

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. That sounds like a lot to take in, but the set-up is even more complicated than that, as we discover through the show's opening episodes, which bring us up to speed on the many events that led the protagonists to that point.
