I just finished watching The Haunted Palace, and I have to say — it was surprisingly fun at times, though not without its flaws. For me, the male lead (ML) absolutely stole the show. He delivered his role with so much depth and charisma that it felt like he put far more into his performance than most of the other actors. Every scene with him had an extra spark — you could tell he fully embodied his character.

The drama itself was good overall, but it dragged on a little too long before finally revealing the truth behind the main spirit causing chaos within the royal family. The pacing could’ve been tighter; I think they could have started resolving things as early as episode 10 instead of rushing the ending into the last two episodes. Still, despite the slow build-up, the final reveal was satisfying enough.

What really kept me watching was the relationship between the ML and FL. Their chemistry was lively, fun, and refreshing — a nice balance to all the darker supernatural themes. Those lighter moments made the show more enjoyable and kept it from feeling too heavy.

Overall, The Haunted Palace mixes historical fantasy, romance, and supernatural suspense beautifully — even if the pacing falters at times. If you enjoy palace intrigue, tragic ghosts, and a touch of forbidden romance, it’s worth watching. Just be prepared for a slow burn… and an ending that might leave you wishing for a little more breathing room.
