South Korean actor Nam Joo-hyuk is making his highly anticipated return to television after a three-year break with Netflix’s supernatural K-drama “The East Palace.”
In the backdrop of fictionalized version of Korea’s Joseon Dynasty, The East Palace is a dark fantasy historical K-drama that combines palace politics, supernatural mysteries and horror elements.
As far as the story goes, it is about a terrifying 30-year curse that has haunted the royal family, claiming the lives of crown princes one after another.
As rumors spread that a vengeful “pond spirit” is responsible for the deaths, the kingdom faces a growing supernatural threat.
To save his last remaining son, the King secretly recruits an unconventional ghost hunter with the ability to enter the spirit realm.
Is ‘The East Palace’ worth watching?
Supernatural folklore and a dark palace conspiracy, what’s there not to like unless you don’t enjoy K-drama. Moreover, Nam Joo-hyuk’s comeback is another major attraction, especially for fans who have been waiting to see him return to the screen.
