The premise
Prince Lee Hwan receives a cursed letter from a supernatural entity detailing several dark predictions for his future and is horrified to realize that the curses are indeed coming true one by one. Min Jae-yi, on the other hand, finds herself wanted by the local authorities after being unjustly accused of murdering her family members and unilaterally calling off her arranged marriage.
Horror Vault's take
Set against the richly detailed backdrop of Korea's Joseon dynasty, this historical drama weaves together two desperate souls bound by misfortune — a prince haunted by a series of dark supernatural curses and a noblewoman fleeing accusations she did not deserve. As ominous predictions begin to materialise one by one, the two unlikely partners must navigate treacherous court politics and unseen forces working against them. The series blends slow-burn romance with genuine dread, keeping viewers guessing about the true origin of the curse and who is pulling the strings from the shadows.
