Yook Sung-jae ♥ Kim Ji-yeon ‘Gungung’ main poster revealed… First episode on April 18th

The main poster for SBS‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Gungung’ has been revealed.

The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Gungung’ (written by Yoon Soo-jung/directed by Yoon Sung-sik), which will air on April 18th (Friday) at 9:50 PM as the follow-up to ‘Treasure Island’, is a fantasy romantic comedy about a shaman named Yeo-ri who rejects her fate as a psychic, and Kang Cheol-i, an imoogi trapped in the body of Yeo-ri’s first love, Yoon Gap, who face the eight-faced ghost who holds a grudge against the royal family, and their bodies and souls become tightly entangled. Director Yoon Sung-sik, who directed the dramas ‘Mr. Queen’, ‘The Best Yi Sun-sin’, ‘Bridal Mask’, and ‘Daejoyeong’, has teamed up with writer Yoon Soo-jung, who wrote the dramas ‘The King‘s Face’, and ‘Cheeky Go Go’, and Yook Sung-jae (as Yoon Gap/Kang-cheol), Kim Ji-yeon (as Yeo-ri), and Kim Ji-hoon (as Lee Jung) have taken on the lead roles.

Yook Sung-jae has been cast as ‘Yoon Gap’, the detective who is possessed by the evil spirit Imoogi ‘Gang-cheol’, and is Yeo-ri’s first love. Her counterpart, Kim Ji-yeon, plays ‘Yeo-ri’, the only granddaughter of a famous god. She possesses extraordinary magical powers but rejects her fate as a shaman and lives as an artisan of glasses. Expectations are rising for the first romantic comedy collaboration between a couple of the same age.

The main poster that was released this time catches the eye with Kim Ji-yeon in the center of the storybook cover drawn in the style of a folk painting. Kim Ji-yeon, who has transformed into a ‘pure white shaman’, captivates the viewers with her mysterious and clear aura and unwavering, solid charisma. On the other hand, ‘evil god Imoogi’ Yook Sung-jae shows off his strong presence behind Kim Ji-yeon. The sight of Yook Sung-jae clinging to Kim Ji-yeon‘s back looks like a bodyguard possessed by a shaman or a bodyguard protecting Kim Ji-yeon, which arouses interest.

The ‘dislike (hateful relationship)’ chemistry felt in the two’s expressions adds to the humorous fun. While Kim Ji-yeon doesn‘t even glance at her mortal enemy who has taken over her first love’s body and is blowing a cold wind, ‘Imoogi’ Yook Sung-jae, who looks like a flower boy with a clear face, is glaring at Kim Ji-yeon with an arrogant and playful gaze and shows off the aura of an evil god. This raises curiosity about how the two of them got caught up in a strange fate where their bodies and souls are intertwined.

SBS‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Gwigung’, a fantasy historical romantic comedy that will be presented uniquely by SBS in 2025, is scheduled to premiere on Friday, April 18 at 9:50 PM.
