■ Publisher ReviewA blend of K-tales, romance, shamanism and bromance
Fantasy historical drama [Gwigung],
Reborn as a high-definition photo essay!
The SBS drama [Gwigung] has been a hot topic since its airing, spreading by word of mouth. On top of the genre setting of exorcism fantasy, it delicately combines the worldview of traditional Korean folktales and shamanism, and presents a narrative that broadly encompasses romance, political conflict, growth, sacrifice, and even the inner side of humans. This was a refreshing shock that was different from existing K-historical dramas. Based on the folktale of the 'Imugi that Could Not Become a Dragon', this drama tells the story of human desire and resentment, as well as the stories of beings abandoned by gods, and makes us ask ourselves anew the meaning of human existence. Why did ghosts come into being, and why do shamans exist? [Gwigung] brings back stories that we have long forgotten through these questions.

A ghost story to read in one volume!
[Gwigung] Photo Essay is an overwhelming visual book consisting of over 400 pages and over 500 high-quality still cuts. It is not simply a list of impressive scenes from the drama, but is reconstructed along the flow of the narrative and the emotional development, providing both the fun of reading and the emotion of watching. It helps readers interpret and immerse themselves in the scenes by following the narrative and emotional lines of each character, centering around the female shaman Yeo-ri and the Imoogi Kang Cheol, as well as Yoon Gap and King Lee Seong. It also includes famous lines and scenes, providing a three-dimensional reading experience that turns the drama into a ‘story to relive’ rather than just ‘content to watch once.’ The moment you open this book, readers will read a tale while also walking through the countless emotions, faces, and gestures that make up the tale.
Characters who brought the world of [Gwigung] to life
At the center of [Gwigung] is a single body with two souls, Yoon Gap. Yuk Seong-jae plays the king's censor, a loyal and intelligent scholar Yoon Gap, and the evil god Kang Cheol who failed to become a dragon, and he delivers a dense performance that contains both good and evil. In particular, the emotional line of excitement, anger, sadness, and devotion revealed in his relationship with the shaman Yeo-ri is vividly revived in numerous still cuts and lines in the photo essay. Actress Kim Ji-yeon delicately portrays the complex inner self of Yeo-ri, who has excellent magical powers but refuses to become a shaman and wants to live quietly as a craftsman of glasses. Her still cuts in the photo essay are filled with scenes that fully capture the beliefs and emotions of a woman. Actor Kim Ji-hoon deeply portrays the story of a courageous king who joins hands with a ghost. The agony and loneliness hidden in the majesty of the king, trust in his subject Yoon Gap, and compassion and responsibility for Yeo-ri. He, who said that he 'poured' 20 years of acting experience into the actual filming site, shows the most noble and humane face of the king in the photo essay [Gwigung].

■ 출판사 리뷰K-설화와 로맨스, 무속과 브로맨스가 어우러진
판타지 사극 [귀궁],
고화질 포토에세이로 다시 태어나다!
SBS 드라마 [귀궁]은 방영 직후부터 입소문을 타며 뜨거운 화제를 불러일으켰다. 퇴마 판타지라는 장르적 설정 위에 한국 전통 설화와 무속의 세계관을 정교하게 결합했고, 그 안에 로맨스와 정치 갈등, 성장과 희생, 인간의 내면까지 폭넓게 아우르는 서사를 선보였다. 이는 기존 K-사극과 결을 달리하는 신선한 충격이었다. '용이 되지 못한 이무기'라는 설화를 바탕으로 인간의 욕망과 한, 그리고 신으로부터 버림받은 존재들의 이야기를 풀어낸 이 드라마는 인간이란 존재 의미를 새삼스럽게 되묻게 한다. 귀신은 왜 생겨났고, 무당은 왜 존재하는가. [귀궁]은 이러한 물음 속에서 우리가 오랫동안 잊고 지낸 이야기를 다시 꺼내놓는다.
400페이지에 달하는 분량, 고화질 스틸컷 500여 장,
전통 귀신 스티커 증정
한 권으로 읽는 귀물 설화!
[귀궁] 포토에세이는 총 400쪽에 달하는 분량, 500여 장이 넘는 고화질 스틸컷으로 구성된 압도적인 비주얼북이다. 단순히 드라마의 인상적인 장면을 나열한 것이 아니라, 서사의 흐름과 감정의 기승전결을 따라 재구성되어 읽는 재미와 보는 감동을 동시에 선사한다. 무녀 여리와 이무기 강철이, 윤갑과 왕 이성을 중심으로 각 캐릭터의 서사와 감정선을 따라가며 장면을 해석하고 몰입할 수 있도록 돕는다. 또한 명대사와 명장면이 함께 수록되어 드라마를 단지 '한번 본 콘텐츠'가 아닌 '다시 체험하는 이야기'로 만드는 입체적인 독서 경험을 제공한다. 이 책을 펼치는 순간, 독자는 한 권의 설화를 읽는 동시에, 그 설화를 이루는 수많은 감정과 얼굴, 몸짓을 따라 걷게 될 것이다.
[귀궁]의 세계를 살아 숨 쉬게 한 인물들
[귀궁]의 중심에는 두 개의 혼을 품은 하나의 육신, 윤갑이 있다. 육성재는 왕의 검서관으로 충직하고 총명한 선비 윤갑과 용이 되지 못한 악신 강철이라는 상반된 캐릭터를 오가며 선과 악을 모두 담아내는 밀도 있는 연기를 선보였다. 특히 무녀 여리와의 관계에서 드러나는 설렘, 분노, 슬픔, 헌신의 감정선은 포토에세이 속 수많은 스틸컷과 대사에서 뚜렷이 되살아난다. 배우 김지연은 뛰어난 신기를 지녔지만 무속의 길을 거부하고 애체(안경) 장인으로 조용히 살아가고자 했던 여리의 복잡한 내면을 섬세하게 그려냈다. 포토에세이 속 그녀의 스틸컷들은 한 여성의 신념과 감정을 온전히 담아낸 장면들로 가득 채워졌다. 배우 김지훈은 귀신과 손을 잡는 용기 있는 왕의 서사를 묵직하게 그려냈다. 왕이라는 위엄 속에 감춰진 고뇌와 고독, 윤갑이라는 신하에 대한 신뢰, 여리에 대한 연민과 책임. 실제 촬영 현장에서 20년 연기 내공을 '쏟아부었다'고 말한 그는 [귀궁] 포토에세이 속에서 가장 고결하고 인간적인 왕의 얼굴을 보여준다.
