In the first episode of "Haunted Palace," the character played by Yook Sung-jae dies and the body of Kim Young-kwang is taken over.
In the first episode of the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Haunted Palace," which aired on the 18th and is written by Yoon Soo-jung and directed by Yoon Sung-sik, the character Kang-cheol, played by Kim Young-kwang, was depicted as possessing the body of Yoon-gap, played by Yook Sung-jae.
That day, the story began with Kang-cheol, who became a mythical creature. It is said that Kang-cheol, having completed a thousand years of training, became a mythical creature after being noticed by humans while ascending to the heavens. In response to this, the enraged Kang-cheol is said to have become a malicious god who hates humans.
Since 13 years ago, Kang-cheol had coveted the body of Yeori, played by Kim Ji-yeon, since childhood. Moreover, Kang-cheol deliberately troubled Yeori by hindering her battles against the grudge spirit.
After a tough struggle, Yeori, who expelled the grudge spirit, headed home, and Kang-cheol said, "Yeori, how's your neck? It must hurt a lot. A grudge spirit requires a bit of duality to deal with. Should I take a look? Though I'd rather crawl away from you if you're a human, I wouldn't mind treating you nicely since you're you." He further persuaded her, saying, "This magnificent spirit, as splendid as it is, shall make you the greatest shaman, who will perform the national rites with me as your master."
Angered by his words, Yeori shouted, "It's you, the one who empowered that cranky grudge spirit. You had intentions of using that spirit to get rid of the Kyung-grade stone and occupy my body; do you think I'm unaware of your dark motives?" Nevertheless, Kang-cheol replied, "If you know so well, then come over already. Ten years can change mountains, and it's already been 13 years. Yeori."
The first time the two met was a staggering 13 years ago. At that time, Kang-cheol coveted Yeori's body, but Yeori's grandmother, Neobdeok, gave her the Kyung-grade stone (the Dragon King's stone) to protect her from Kang-cheol. As access became difficult, Kang-cheol killed Neobdeok, and Yeori refused, saying, "I'm just a human, so I can't do anything to you. However, I will never serve a malicious god like you. Even if I grow old and crumble to pieces, that won't change. This is my revenge against you."
Meanwhile, Yoon-gap, searching for a shaman under the royal command, reunited with Yeori. Yoon-gap suggested they go to Hanyang together, but Kang-cheol said, "Hanyang? Absolutely not." He added, "That person is deceiving you right now."
Afterward, Yeori asked, "Why are you causing such chaos? Tell me what you are hiding from me." Kang-cheol replied, "Did you exchange that overflowing divine spirit for something else? I am not trying to take you to the palace as a beast; I am saying that person is trying to use you for their own greed, regardless of whether you live or die."
However, Yeori discovered herself pictured as married to Yoon-gap in her divination, and with certainty, she stated, "My divination has never been wrong. I will not lose anyone to Kang-cheol again." Eventually, due to Kang-cheol's interference, the two found themselves lost in the mountains. Realizing this, Yeori shouted, "How much longer will you torment me? Just come out already! It's been 13 years; that's enough pain. Let me go now, you damned malicious god!"
Meanwhile, Yoon-gap, left alone, expressed his regret, saying, "I'm sorry. Yeori, I deceived you. This is for a greater cause. Do not forgive me." At that time, the group led by Kwak Sang-chung was pursuing Yoon-gap, and during the inquiry into the king's intentions, they were unable to resist his provocation and ultimately killed him.
Observing this, Kang-cheol possessed the body of Yoon-gap and went to find Yeori. He claimed, "Yeori, you are now mine," and Yeori was enraged, saying, "It's you who did all this. You even killed my master, and now you are trying to take over my master's body!"
Kang-cheol stated, "With the ever-so-hated Kyung-grade stone gone, it no longer matters whether you trust me or not. Once I become your master, you will have to serve me, your master." However, Kang-cheol could not escape from Yoon-gap's body.
