Roh Yoon Seo, known for Our Blues, Crash Course in Romance, and more, will accompany him as court lady Saeng Gang. Just like Gu Cheon, she also has a special ability to hear ghosts, which she has considered a curse her entire life. To unveil the secrets of the royal family, she joins hands with him on a perilous expedition.
