The anticipation is over—Delusion is officially confirmed to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.

But that leaves the audience with the series plot. Delusion is adapted from a popular webtoon and unfolds across two historical periods: 1935 Gyeongseong (modern-day Seoul under Japanese rule) and the 19th-century Shanghai. The series centers on Song Jeong Hwa (Bae Suzy), a broken-hearted woman, and Yun I Ho (Kim Seon Ho), a painter she hires to capture her portrait. But questions remain - Is she a human? Or blood-sucking wall-crawling unearthy creature - A Vampire?

Though details about the story are closely guarded, early hints suggest a haunting exploration of loneliness, desire, and supernatural secrets that slowly unravel over time. Directed by Han Jae Rim, who previously earned praise for his work on The 8 Show, will helm the new series.


Delusion promises a rich blend of historical drama and chilling horror, layered with mystery and emotional complexity. The reunion of Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho — both award-winning actors known for their nuanced performances in Start Up, is already sparking excitement.
