Created by Jung Hyun-jung
On tvN
A historical mystery-romance where supernatural curse and wrongful accusation intertwine two protagonists across a Joseon setting, balancing dark supernatural dread with intimate character connection.
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.
