Eastern Palace
For fans of "Kingdom" and "Hotel Del Luna" — a great choice if you want a short but rich story. 8 episodes of one hour each — the perfect format for the weekend. Nam Joo-hyuk as a ghost hunter is something we didn't know we needed.
Premiere on Netflix — July 17, 2026. Ghosts haunt the Tonggun Palace. The king summons two ghost hunters — Gu Cheong and his partner — to rid the crown prince of a curse. Choi Jong-kyu, a renowned director, builds the atmosphere of an expensive mystical action: grand sets, costumes, tension that builds with each episode. Nam Joo-hyuk plays a fearless hunter, marking his first project after a break — and he returns with power. The format is 8 episodes of ~60 minutes, compact and without filler. The detective storyline intertwines with horror: the ghosts not only scare but carry secrets that the heroes must uncover. If you enjoy when the historical setting serves as a backdrop for mystique, rather than just intrigue — go for it.
