In The Haunted Palace episode 14, Yeori stood frozen. Her heart sank. Kang Chul was gone. At least, that’s what she thought. She turned to Yoon Gab, trying to understand. But he looked just as lost. He told her everything felt blurry & he didn’t know what happened. He apologized & had lied to her. Yoon Gab brought her to the capital under pretenses. He risked her life. That wasn’t something she could ignore, but his regret felt real.
Yoon Gab then went to see the King. He bowed deeply. That was strange. Kang Chul, when in control of Yoon Gab’s body, never showed that kind of respect. The King was overjoyed. He believed his loyal subject had returned. When he hugged him, something happened. Yoon Gab felt a strange, fiery spark. He pushed the King away.
Yeori quickly realized it was the warding stone. The King confirmed it and explained its power. Through Yoon Gab’s ears, something else happened. The royal shaman overheard everything. That changed everything.
Later, Yoon Gab felt pain in his ears. The shaman came to him. He asked if Yoon Gab wasn’t happy having his body back. But then he warned him. Yoon Gab wouldn’t keep the body for long unless he used magical water on the warding stone. Only then would the 8-foot spirit help him stay. But Yoon Gab made his choice. He threw the bottle. He said he’d rather disappear than hurt the King.
Yeori prayed hard. She wished for Kang Chul to come back. Her prayers worked. Kang Chul’s spirit returned. But something was wrong. Both spirits were now inside the same body. Yoon Gab wasn’t ready to let go. They started fighting, yelling inside the same body. Yeori came in and saw them struggling. The pain was intense. The body collapsed.
As the pain grew worse, the shaman began chanting. Kang Chul’s body moved toward the magical water. And he recalled he had to pour it over the warding stone. That changed everything.
A Final Goodbye and a Dangerous Turn
The next day, Yeori had a vision. Something felt wrong. She sensed Yoon Gab was planning something. She ran to the palace. There, near the King’s seat, Yoon Gab reached for the stone. But one hand stopped the other hand. The bottle dropped. The body fell unconscious again. A fiery mist left the body.
Yoon Gab’s soul floated out. Kang Chul woke up and chased after him. Yoon Gab apologized. He said evil thoughts had taken over. Yoon Gab never meant to betray the King, but he almost did. Kang Chul said the hand that stopped him was not his but Yoon Gab himself. But still, he feared the dark part of him would return. He asked Yeori to let him go. He didn’t want to become something worse.
Back at home, Yoon Gab’s mother cried. She could tell it wasn’t her son anymore. Yeori explained everything. They held a farewell ceremony. Yoon Gab’s spirit finally left this world.
After that, Yeori and Kang Chul left the house. The truth was known. There was no reason to stay. They looked for a new place. They found a tiny room, just enough to live. In that small space, something shifted. Kang Chul asked if they could live a simple life. Just the two of them. He joked it off right after. But the thought was real.
Later, Yoon Gab’s mother came and welcomed them back home.
At the palace, the King was busy. He was preparing a farewell ceremony for Geum-hwi. The king gave the warding stone to the Queen. He wanted to make peace with the 8-foot spirit. Kang Chul, on the other hand, drank water mixed with caragarana root. It was supposed to boost his inner strength.
During the ceremony, Yeori noticed something strange. One of the royal guardians looked off. His eyes changed. The spirit had taken him over. He attacked with a sword, causing chaos. The worst came when he jumped toward the Queen. She was pregnant. The blade struck her. Blood followed.
Something had gone terribly wrong.
