Set during the turbulent Goryeo Dynasty, the 14-episode historical series blends action, romance and an extraordinary quest for survival, premiering December 5.
MANILA, Philippines — When a kingdom stands on the verge of collapse, one daring mission could change the course of history. Prime Video is bringing viewers into the heart of a gripping historical adventure with Sacred Jewel, an epic Korean drama starring Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Sung-min and Claudia Kim, premiering exclusively on the streaming platform on December 5.
Set in 1258 during the Goryeo Dynasty, the series unfolds after nearly three decades of devastating warfare against the Mongols. With the kingdom facing an impending defeat, an elite group of warriors is entrusted with a dangerous mission: recover a sacred jewel believed to possess miraculous powers that could save Goryeo.
Leading the expedition is Baek Gyul, a determined young warrior who must guide his convoy through enemy territory and beyond treacherous mountains toward the eastern sea. But the mission is far from simple, as danger, betrayal and unexpected challenges threaten their journey. Meanwhile, Princess Wang Hee races to help the expedition, setting the stage for a story where love, loyalty and the survival of an entire kingdom collide.
Ahn Bo-hyun (Spring Fever, Flex X Cop, My Name) stars as Baek Gyul, an intelligent and fearless warrior whose strong convictions put him on a collision course with the emperor. His forbidden romance with Princess Wang Hee leads to his appointment as commander of a special convoy, forcing him to choose between matters of the heart and his duty to the kingdom.
Joining him is award-winning actor Lee Sung-min (Reborn Rich, No Other Choice) as Choi Gu, a legendary warrior whose reputation was built through countless battles. Once regarded as one of the most formidable fighters of his generation, Choi Gu now faces the realities of aging and the fading glory of his past. As captain of the special convoy, he embarks on another dangerous mission that will put his courage, strength and legacy to the ultimate test.
Claudia Kim (Gyeongseong Creature, The Atypical Family) takes on the role of Princess Wang Hee, whose beauty and seemingly cold personality hide a deeply wounded heart. Having endured a painful political marriage and personal tragedy, the princess has learned to distance herself from the world. However, her growing connection with Baek Gyul slowly awakens emotions she thought she had buried, giving her a reason to face her past and fight for a different future.
Directed by Jung Dae-yoon (Reborn Rich, She Was Pretty) and written by Jung Hyun-min (The Nokdu Flower, Jeong DoJeon), Sacred Jewel is produced by SLL and Celltrion Entertainment. The 14-episode series also features Ha Yoon-kyoung and Yoon Kyun-sang, completing an ensemble cast in a sweeping story about courage, sacrifice and the resilience of the human spirit.
With its combination of grand historical battles, compelling characters, forbidden romance and a high-stakes quest, Sacred Jewel promises an epic viewing experience for fans of Korean historical dramas.
Sacred Jewel premieres exclusively on Prime Video on December 5 in the Philippines and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The series joins Prime Video’s growing collection of Korean and international titles, including Spring Fever, Surely Tomorrow, Head Over Heels, GOOD BOY, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Fallout, Reacher and The Boys.
