Nam Joo Hyuk Fights Ghosts in 'The School Nurse Files'

The teaser poster and trailer for the Netflix series 'Donggung' have been released. 'Donggung' tells the story of Gucheon (played by Nam Joo-hyuk), who has the ability to cross into the world of ghosts, and the palace maid Saenggang (played by Roh Yoon-seo), who harbors a secret, as they are summoned by the King (played by Cho Seung-woo) to uncover a curse plaguing the East Palace.

The released teaser poster delivers a powerful impact by simultaneously depicting the real world and the world of ghosts. Within the palace shrouded in dark clouds, Gucheon's determined figure wielding a sword, along with a desolate landscape bathed in red light, captures the viewer's attention. The collapsed stone lantern, the viscous vines that seem to have melted from a curse, and the ominous aura foreshadow the eerie atmosphere of the 'world of ghosts' that Gucheon traverses. The tagline, "Crossing the boundaries between the real world and the world of ghosts to uncover secrets," heightens anticipation for Gucheon's actions.

In the teaser trailer, 'ghost hunter' Gucheon appears amidst a menacing and eerie atmosphere, immediately drawing attention. He is summoned to the palace by the King, who disbelieves in ghosts and superstitions, raising questions about the reason for his summons. Gucheon senses that the palace is filled with deep resentment and enters the world of ghosts himself to find the 'vengeful spirit'. Palace maid Saenggang watches Gucheon as he walks into a pond.

The world of ghosts, filled with a dark red, bloody aura, that unfolds before Gucheon shows another side of reality. Gucheon wields his sword, confronting ghosts and leaving behind the profound words, "​Those who commit sins will eventually be punished." Meanwhile, in the real world, Saenggang's determined face, smudged with blood on her forehead, sparks curiosity. The King and the Queen Dowager (played by Jang Young-nam) also face mysterious phenomena, heightening the tension. Questions arise about whether Gucheon can survive in the palace, where "​once you enter, you can only leave in death," and what entity threatens the East Palace.

Consisting of a total of 8 episodes, 'Donggung' is scheduled to be released in its entirety on Netflix on July 17th. Nam Joo-hyuk plays Gucheon, who traverses the world of ghosts, Roh Yoon-seo plays palace maid Saenggang, who can hear the voices of ghosts, and Cho Seung-woo plays the King, each showcasing their unique charms and raising viewer expectations.
