THE HAUNTED PALACE (2025) — Official Teaser
Starring: Yook Sung Jae, Bona, Kim Young Kwang
“Walls don’t keep ghosts in. They keep confessions out.”

Synopsis: A restoration team unseals a forbidden wing of a royal palace after 200 years. Min Jae (Yook Sung Jae), an earnest archivist, catalogs a silk ledger written in cinnabar ink—names that shouldn’t be alive.

Seo Rin (Bona), a guide who “hears” the mood of rooms, senses footsteps in the wood. Prosecutor Do Hyun (Kim Young Kwang) arrives to investigate a missing curator—and a tour that ended with everyone bowing to no one.

Teaser flashes: lanterns rippling with no wind, court music playing backward, a mirror pool showing a stranger’s smile, mother‑of‑pearl doors sliding when eyes are closed. The rules etched on lacquer: do not bow, do not speak your name, leave before the third drum. They break one.

Final stinger: a paper door inhales; calligraphy crawls, spelling their names in fresh red. Cut to black.

Review: Elegant K‑gothic with ritual dread—lacquered sets, hanbok silhouettes, and a gugak pulse that thumps the nerves. If the feature keeps this restraint and curse‑lore, expect chills with poetry.
