What Is The Gingko Bed About?

The premise of The Gingko Bed without spoilers.

Soohyun, a college art professor, and his surgeon girlfriend Sunyoung are drawn into a supernatural romance after he buys an old ginkgo bed that houses the spirit of Princess Midan—his lover from a thousand‑year‑old life as a royal musician slain by General Hwang.
