Basic Info.

​When Yoon Seo-ha hears of her uncle's death, she and her husband head to the morgue, where she learns that she will inherit his ancestral land. As Seo-ha faces conflicts with her half-brother Kim Young-ho and deals with a series of ominous events in the village, she becomes increasingly entangled in a deepening mystery. Detective Choi Sung-joon senses that the case is connected to the land and begins investigating, gradually uncovering long-hidden secrets about Seo-ha’s family.​



Additional Info.

​The title Seonsan (先山) refers to an ancestor's tomb or the mountain where such a tomb is located, aptly capturing the setting and symbolism of the drama. The trailer featured shamans, talismans, and amulets, emphasizing occult elements and raising expectations for a story steeped in shamanism, akin to films like The Wailing or Sabaha. However, in reality, the drama uses these occult elements primarily as atmospheric and surprise-effect devices, with little connection to the progression of the main storyline.​
