As a kingdom teeters on the edge of defeat, its last hope rests on an extraordinary mission. Prime Video announced “Sacred Jewel,” an epic new Korean historical drama starring Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Sung-min and Claudia Kim. Set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on December 5 in the Philippines.
Set in 1258 during the Goryeo Dynasty, after nearly three decades of relentless warfare against the Mongols. With defeat looming, a daring expedition emerges as the kingdom’s last hope. Led by the determined young warrior Baek Gyul, they embark on a treacherous mission to recover a sacred jewel believed to possess miraculous powers capable of protecting Goryeo.
The group fights its way through enemy territory and ventures beyond the mountains toward the eastern sea. Meanwhile, Princess Wang Hee races to their aid, setting the stage for a journey where the fate of a kingdom and the lives of those fighting for it hang in the balance.
Meet the people bringing this sweeping historical adventure to life!
Ahn Bo-hyun takes on the role of Baek Gyul, a fiercely determined and intelligent young warrior with unwavering convictions. The only son of the Vice Minister of War, Baek Gyul serves in the Gyeonryonggun, the emperor’s elite bodyguard. But when his forbidden love provokes the emperor’s wrath, he finds himself sent on a dangerous mission. Tasked with an important mission, he must navigate the battlefield while learning about duty and love.
Joining him is Lee Sung-min as Choi Gu, a legendary warrior whose reputation was forged through hundreds of battles. Once the most formidable fighter in the Elite Military Task Force, he was a highly admired commander. Yet beneath his battle-hardened exterior lies a man grappling with the fading glory of his past and the growing awareness of his own mortality. When he is appointed Captain of Baek Gyul’s special convoy, he faces another test of his strength, resolve, and legacy.
Claudia Kim portrays Princess Wang Hee, the emperor’s youngest daughter with striking beauty and icy demeanour. Scarred by a political marriage and devastating personal loss, she has long shut herself off from the world. But her connection with Baek Gyul begins to break through the walls she has built around herself, awakening feelings she thought were lost forever. As war threatens everything around her, Wang Hee must confront her past and find the courage to reclaim her future.
Brought to life by director Jung Dae-yoon, alongside writer Jung Hyun-min. Produced by SLL and Celltrion Entertainment, the 14-episode series also features Ha Yoon-kyoung and Yoon Kyun-sang, rounding out an ensemble cast in a story that explores the human spirit.
