The historical drama, featuring Bae In Hyuk, Kim Ji Eun, Jung Gun Joo, and DKZ’s Jaechan in lead roles, is set to premiere on December 21, 2024.
New Broadcast Schedule
On December 13, 2024, the production team confirmed a shift in the original airing time. The series, initially slated to broadcast at 7:50 PM KST, will now air at 9:10 PM KST every Saturday and Sunday. This adjustment aims to cater to a broader audience during prime time hours.
Unique Character Posters
To generate excitement for the premiere, Check In Hanyang released character posters that offer a glimpse into the personalities and motivations of the four main characters, collectively known as the “Trouble 4.” Styled as inn welcome kits, the posters emphasize the distinct traits of each character:
- Lee Eun Ho (Bae In Hyuk): A prince concealing his identity. His poster features a key with the phrase, “How impudent! I told you not to act recklessly,” highlighting his aristocratic demeanor.
- Hong Duk Soo (Kim Ji Eun): A bold woman disguised as a man to investigate her father’s mysterious death. Her key declares, “The man Hong Duk Soo! My goal is Yongcheonru.”
- Cheon Jun Hwa (Jung Gun Joo): The heir to Yongcheonru, reluctantly learning the responsibilities of leadership. His poster reads, “Let us sail together and cross the storm.”
- Ko Soo Ra (Jaechan): A justice-driven intern seeking to restore his family’s honor. His key states, “But that is not right!”
These posters hint at the underlying struggles and aspirations of the main characters as they navigate their lives at Yongcheonru, the grandest inn in the Joseon dynasty.
