K-drama fans, get ready for a royal-sized adventure. Prime Video has announced Sacred Jewel, a sweeping Korean historical epic starring Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Sung-min and Claudia Kim, premiering on 5 December.
Set in 1258 during the Goryeo Dynasty, the 14-episode series opens with a kingdom on the brink of collapse after nearly three decades of war against the Mongols. Its last hope? A daring expedition to recover a sacred jewel believed to hold miraculous powers that could protect Goryeo.
