The Haunted Palace Episode 2

man who haunts, love triangles that transcend death, and a woman who deserves better.

Recap by someone yelling “GIRL, NO” every five minutes

ML this episode?
Unbothered icon. An assassin shows up, and he reacts like it’s just a minor annoyance.
Bro’s literally being attacked and still looks like he’s waiting for his coffee order. Legendary energy.

FL?
Fully in ghost-chasing delulu mode. She’s out here sprinting around, crying over her manipulative ex (who isnt even her ex), like he’s a misunderstood angel instead of a lying emotional scam.
Babygirl. He is not your salvation. He’s a walking trauma flashback with nice hair.

Also, her ability?
Cursed. Every time she tries to know love she sees her first love.
That’s not fate. That’s psychological warfare.
And poor ML—how’s he supposed to build a life with someone who literally sees another man every time she says “I love you”?
Even if it technically is him. Kinda. Spiritually. It’s messy.




AND THEN she says maybe she can bring the old guy back??
So what now, we’re choosing between:
a) Ghost jerk who expoilted childhood trauma
b) Reincarnated dragonML
c) Therapy?
(Spoiler: it won’t be therapy.)



Episode Vibe Check:
ML’s chill: 10/10
FL’s emotional decisions: deeply concerning
Pseudo I am back to take you away manipulation: see-through but effective
My mental stability: hanging by the OST


Episode 2 Ratings:
Story: 8.5/10 – Chaos is escalating beautifully
Acting: 9/10 – ML’s stoicism vs FL’s heartbreak? Immaculate.
OST: 8/10 – Still haunting and dramatic
Rewatch Value: 6.5/10 – Worth rewatching just to watch the red flags fly
Overall: 8.5/10 – This is no longer a drama. It’s an emotional hostage situation and I’m weirdly into it.
