Nam Joo Hyuk and Roh Yoon Seo are set to introduce viewers to a unique fantasy world in Netflix's upcoming series The East Palace.
Netflix confirmed on June 12 that The East Palace will premiere on July 17.
The first official poster shows Nam Joo Hyuk standing in a pitch-black pond with his body bound by ropes. He carries a bundle of peach tree branches on his back. A sinister red aura approaches him, hinting at supernatural dangers. The poster's tagline, “Beyond the boundaries of reality, into the world of spirits,” teases the mysterious narrative.
The East Palace follows Gu Cheon, played by Nam Joo Hyuk, who can travel between the human world and the realm of spirits.
