Netflix’s upcoming series “The East Palace” has unveiled new stills featuring its cast!
The newly released stills offer glimpses of a curse hanging over the palace and the mysterious incidents unfolding within it.
The images depict events inside a palace where a beautiful yet eerily ominous atmosphere lingers. First, the King is seen holding Prince Yeongan (Jo Dan) in his arms. The King’s face as he looks at his son shows a mix of desperation and fear, while a moment in which he forces Gu Cheon to kneel reveals his cold charisma. It remains to be seen why the King, who does not believe in curses or ghosts, has summoned Gu Cheon to the palace. At the King’s command, Gu Cheon begins investigating the curse and mysteries surrounding the palace alongside the court lady Saeng Gang. As their investigation unfolds, moments of Gu Cheon walking into a pond with a rope around his neck and Saeng Gang drawing a bow heighten the tension.
In particular, within the world of ghosts, Gu Cheon carries a markedly different presence than in reality, foreshadowing that he is a figure positioned at the center of mysterious events. The red aura surrounding Gu Cheon and the unfamiliar landscapes hint at the existence of another space connected to reality, known as the “world of ghosts.” Saeng Gang is also seen listening intently to sounds coming from somewhere unseen. It remains to be seen what role Saeng Gang, who can hear the voices of ghosts, will play in uncovering the truth behind the incident. Additional stills show black vines engulfing the King’s bedchamber, along with Gu Cheon and Saeng Gang standing by a pond as they prepare to enter the world of ghosts.
It remains to be seen what curse has enveloped the entire palace, what secrets lie beneath it, and how the three characters will confront it.
“The East Palace” premieres on July 17 on Netflix.
Netflix's upcoming big-budget Korean drama 'The East Palace' sparks buzz with striking first teaser
Netflix’s highly anticipated new Korean series 'The East Palace' is already generating major excitement after the release of its teaser poster and trailer on June 18. The project quickly became a trending topic online, with viewers praising its cast and cinematic visuals. 'The East Palace' is Netflix's next big-budget, mystery-occult historical drama starring Nam Joo Hyuk, Roh Yoon Seo, and Jo Seung Woo. The story follows Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), a man gifted with the ability to see and slay ghosts, who is summoned by a king (Jo Seung Woo) to uncover the secret behind a curse hidden deep within the royal palace. The newly released teaser poster features Nam Joo Hyuk wielding a sword against supernatural beings in a darkened palace. Collapsed stone lanterns, twisted vines seemingly drenched in a curse, and ominous blood-red energy create a haunting atmosphere, suggesting the existence of a realm beyond reality. The tagline, “Uncovering secrets beyond the boundary between the human world and the spirit world,” hints at a story that moves between two interconnected dimensions.
A Cast Drawing Massive Attention
One of the biggest reasons behind the drama’s growing hype is its cast.
For Nam Joo Hyuk, 'The East Palace' marks his first project since completing military service. The actor appears set to shed his familiar soft-spoken and romantic image in favor of a sword-wielding action hero who navigates the spirit realm.
At a previous Netflix event, Nam Joo Hyuk expressed confidence in the production, saying he had given the project his all and believed the action sequences would blend beautifully with the show’s elaborate visual design. The actor was also notably the only Korean performer featured in Netflix’s global content lineup video released earlier this year. When asked about the honor at the event, he reportedly joked with a dramatic sigh, drawing laughter from the audience, before admitting that the global spotlight made him feel an even greater sense of responsibility.
Rising actress Roh Yoon Seo takes on the role of Saeng Kang, a palace maid who can hear the voices of ghosts. Having viewed her ability as a curse throughout her life, the character becomes entangled in the palace’s supernatural mystery. The role is particularly significant for Roh Yoon Seo, as it marks her first leading role in a Netflix original series. Her blood-streaked appearance and determined expression in the trailer have already sparked curiosity among viewers.
Adding even more weight to the cast is Jo Seung Woo, whose participation has become one of the production’s biggest talking points. The acclaimed actor is making his first appearance in a Netflix original series. He plays a king who governs with benevolence while harboring a dark secret beneath the surface. Despite only brief appearances in the teaser, viewers have already praised his commanding screen presence, with many anticipating another standout performance from the veteran actor.
The creative team has also fueled anticipation.
The screenplay was written by Kwon So Ra and Seo Jae Won, the writers behind acclaimed Korean occult dramas including 'Bulgasal: Immortal Souls' and 'The Guest.' Directing duties are handled by Choi Jung Kyu, known for works such as 'The Devil Judge' and 'Children of Nobody.'
Industry observers have pointed to the combination of experienced genre writers and a director known for psychological and suspense-driven storytelling as a major strength of the project.
'The East Palace' also endured a difficult production journey.
In 2024, a sudden fire reportedly destroyed the series’ main filming set during production. A 3,655-square-meter set building and lighting equipment stored inside were completely burned, causing significant disruptions to filming. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
The fact that the series was completed despite such challenges has only heightened anticipation among fans.
Following the teaser release, online communities have been flooded with reactions praising the cast and production scale. Many viewers are already calling 'The East Palace' their most anticipated Korean drama of 2026.
The series has attracted attention internationally as well. Earlier this year, 'The East Palace' was featured in Netflix’s global lineup presentation alongside major franchises such as 'Bridgerton,' 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' 'One Piece,' and 'Emily in Paris.' It was the only Asian title included in that promotional showcase, underscoring Netflix’s confidence in the project and its potential to further elevate the global profile of Korean dramas.
Consisting of eight episodes, 'The East Palace' will premiere worldwide on Netflix on July 17, with all episodes released simultaneously.
Nam Joo Hyuk’s upcoming drama “The East Palace” is gearing up for its premiere!
“The East Palace” follows the story of Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), who can traverse the world of ghosts, and Saeng Gang (Roh Yoon Seo), a court lady with the ability to hear ghosts, as they are summoned by the King (Cho Seung Woo) to unearth the cursed palace’s secrets.
The upcoming drama will be helmed by director Choi Jung Gyu of “The Devil Judge” and “Children of Nobody” while written by scriptwriters Kwon So Ra and Seo Jae Won of “Bulgasal: Immortal Souls” and “The Guest.”
The newly released poster depicts Gu Cheon, who steps into a dark pond while tied to a rope. The peach branches tied to his back and the redness in the air create a strange sense of tension, with the copy, “Beyond the boundaries of the Real World into the Spirit Realm,” highlighting the intriguing world to unfold in the drama. Following his projects in “Start-Up,” “Twenty Five, Twenty One,” and “Vigilante,” Nam Joo Hyuk will transform into Gu Cheon, who travels from the real world and spirit realm. He will be joined by Roh Yoon Seo of “20th Century Girl” and “Crash Course in Romance” as court lady Saeng Gang who can hear ghosts.

The Korean drama "Donggung" has made a surprise appearance in Netflix's "2026 Global Lineup" video, generating buzz. Boasting a stellar cast including Nam Joo-hyuk, Noh Yoon-seo, and Cho Seung-woo, this blockbuster drama has already garnered heated interest even before its premiere.

The two main characters' activities as they pursue the secrets hidden deep within the palace, as well as the king's hidden side, are the main attractions.
After the video was released, netizens' reactions were heated. "Other foreign works are all sequels, but only Donggung is an original..!!! My heart is poundingㅠㅠ Nam Joo-hyuk's visuals are no joke, I can't wait for Donggung~!!!", "Wow, I can smell money in the video", "Donggung is finally coming...", "I'm looking forward to Nam Joo-hyuk's drama", "Donggung is the most anticipated!!!", "I heard that Nam Joo-hyuk and Jo Seung-woo will be in Donggung too!!!", "Netflix is going crazy!!!
