'Gwigung' Yook Sungjae and Kim Jiyeon present a thrilling romance that even 'Gyeonggwisuk' cannot stop.
The SBS weekend drama 'Gwigung' (written by Yoon Soo-jung, directed by Yoon Sung-sik) is a fantasy historical drama that is gaining attention as the only unique offering from SBS in 2025. It tells the story of a shaman named Yeori, who rejects the fate of a medium, and Imugi Kangcheol, who is trapped in the body of Yeori's first love, Yoon Gap, as they confront the vengeful Palcheokwi, leading to a tangled body and soul in a fantasy romantic comedy.
Ahead of the broadcast on the 23rd, the 'Gwigung' team has released stills capturing a pink moment between Kangcheol (played by Yook Sungjae) and Yeori (played by Kim Jiyeon), drawing attention.
In the released stills, Kangcheol is seen embracing Yeori's waist in a moonlit night street. The excitement and confusion reflected in Kangcheol's gaze as he looks at Yeori raises curiosity about what has transpired between the two.
On the other hand, Yeori gazes intently at Kangcheol with an expression as if she has forgotten to breathe. Furthermore, it seems Yeori has made up her mind about something as she tightly grips Kangcheol's sleeve, creating a tension-filled excitement that suggests a passionate spark could ignite at any moment.
Meanwhile, Kangcheol and Yeori currently find themselves in an unintended situation of physical contact being sealed. After Yeori retrieves the lost Gyeonggwisuk (a stone that chases away ghosts) with the help of Master Gaseop (played by Lee Won-jong), Kangcheol, who is a spirit, is unable to touch Yeori even with a fingertip. Viewers are also feeling the tension of this unfortunate separation just as the couple has begun their love.
As Kangcheol and Yeori's direct physical contact is captured, anticipation rises for whether they will boldly overcome the obstacles that separate them, and whether the passionate romance between the Imugi and the shaman will truly ignite in the main broadcast of 'Gwigung'. Airing on the 23rd at 10 PM.
