What happens when your first love returns... but with someone else’s soul inside him?
And what if the one haunting you... is a royal ghost with a deadly grudge?

If that made your heart skip a beat—you’re not alone.
SBS’s newest fantasy K-drama The Moon Palace (Gwigung) is the most talked-about show in Korea right now, and it's quickly rising to the top in the Philippines too.


It Just Started—and It’s Already Breaking Records

On its very first week, The Moon Palace hit a massive 10.7% in viewership ratings, officially making it the highest-rated SBS drama premiere of 2025. Even before K-pop stans finished processing the cast lineup, it topped the Netflix charts in:

  • πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ The Philippines

  • πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ Malaysia

  • πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­ Thailand

  • πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬ Singapore

It even beat out other dramas and movies to become #1 across ALL categories on Korea’s OTT trend ranking site KinoLights. Yes, it’s that big.

What’s It About?

Here’s the wild (and totally addictive) setup:

  • A fearless young woman named Yeori, who refuses her destiny as a shaman

  • Her first love, Yoon Gap, who’s suddenly possessed by an ancient serpent spirit (Imoogi)

  • A terrifying vengeful royal ghost (Palcheok-gwi) who’s been waiting 1,000 years for payback

  • And a cursed palace where no one—and no soul—is ever safe

Sounds intense? It is.
But it’s also romantic, mysterious, hilarious, and SO binge-worthy.

Their chemistry is electric, and every scene is dripping with suspense and romantic tension.
