both shows have themes of folklore & possession within a historical setting.
in TDHR, Ban Xia, the female lead, is seen by others as mentally unstable because she can see demons, just like Yeo Ri, who rejected her fate as a shaman despite being spiritually gifted bc of the backlash by her townsfolk. The male lead, Xuan Ye, is a demon hunter assigned to maintain order in Guangping City, which, like the haunted palace in THP, is plagued by malevolent spirits. But Xuan Ye, much like Yun Gap, is secretly connected to the dark forces he’s supposed to fight (he’s suspected of being a demon himself) which mirrors Yun Gap’s possession by the Imoogi.
Their partnership in solving supernatural cases is similar to the the alliance between Yun Gap, Yeo Ri, and King Yi Seong as they unravel the palace’s tragic past tied to vengeful spirits.

She soon befriends several of the princes and meets the ostracized 4th Prince, Wang So. Although knowing she should not get involved in palace intrigues over the succession to the throne, she inadvertently becomes a pawn in the struggle, as several of the Princes fall in love with her.
Both stories are very similar in fantasy , soul shifting , and well written plot and characters blend with action mystery keep you guessing
This is a central plot point. The female lead's soul (Naksu) was initially in a different body (Mu-deok) in Season 1. In Season 2, she returns to her original body but with amnesia, leading to a journey of rediscovering her true identity and past with Jang Uk. This isn't exactly "possession" in the same way as "The Haunted Palace," but it involves a soul residing in a different body and dealing with the implications of that.
