JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'The Divine Bead' will premiere on December 5, 2026, at 10:40 p.m. Ahn Bo-hyun and Suhyeon star in the series, which depicts the love and struggle of a bodyguard warrior and an imperial princess in the Goryeo era.

'The Divine Bead' (written by Jung Hyun-min, directed by Jung Dae-yoon, produced by Celltrion Entertainment and SLL) is set in 1258, during Goryeo's prolonged war with the Mongols. The story centers on an escort unit that sets out for the battlefield to recover the Gugok sacred relic, the Gwaneum Bead, and the imperial princess who aids them.

Ahn Bo-hyun plays Baek-gyeol, a young commander from the Geolryonggun (Royal Guard). While protecting the emperor, Baek-gyeol forms a special bond with the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Gyeonghwa, Wang Hui (played by Suhyeon). Wang Hui, played by Suhyeon, is the emperor's youngest daughter who lost her husband and remains alone at Gyeonghwa Palace; after meeting Baek-gyeol, she experiences unexpected feelings.

The released still cuts show Baek-gyeol and Wang Hui, dressed in silk nightwear, falling into deep emotion. Their relationship begins as a light attraction and gradually develops into a serious, passionate love, becoming the subject of rumors inside and outside the palace. However, the two characters, once close, come into conflict at a certain point in the drama, heightening tension, and the changed atmosphere and gazes mark a major turning point in their relationship.

The production team said that Baek-gyeol and Wang Hui are strongly drawn to each other beyond the barriers of status and the fate of their era, and that gradual changes come to their relationship. They added, "Please look forward to the passionate and precarious story that Ahn Bo-hyun and Suhyeon will create."

This drama, a collaboration between director Jung Dae-yoon and writer Jung Hyun-min, features production staff recognized for their work on 'Reborn Rich,' 'W,' 'She Was Pretty,' 'Jeong Do-jeon,' 'Nokdu Flower,' and 'Assembly.' 'The Divine Bead' will air on JTBC and be released simultaneously worldwide via Amazon Prime Video.
