Park Eun Bin Returns With Spooky in Love — A Ghost Romance K-Drama You Need on Your Radar

Park Eun Bin Is Back — And She Is Bringing Ghosts With Her

If you thought The Wonderfools was enough Park Eun Bin for 2026, think again. tvN just dropped a brand-new teaser for Spooky in Love, and it looks absolutely delicious. The actress who stole our hearts in Extraordinary Attorney Woo and The Witch: Part 2 is premiering not one but two major dramas this year — and the ghost one might just be the most exciting of the bunch.

A remake of the beloved 2011 film Spellbound starring Son Ye Jin and Lee Min Ki, Spooky in Love is an occult romance that drops July 18, 2026 at 9:10 PM KST on tvN. With Yang Se Jong (Reborn Rich, Sweet Home) playing opposite Park Eun Bin, this is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-dramas of the summer.

The Plot: Chaebol Heiress Meets Ghost-Phobic Prosecutor

The story follows Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin), a hotel heiress and CEO who runs one of Korea's top luxury hotels. On the surface, she's an ice-cold boss — the kind who wears gloves 24/7 and keeps everyone at arm's length. Her staff thinks she's just another spoiled chaebol who treats people like invisible workers. But the truth is far more unsettling: Cheon Yeo Ri can see ghosts, and they visit her every single night.

The new teaser, released just today, gives us our best look yet at her character's double life. One moment she's the untouchable hotel CEO barking orders at her staff. The next, she's lying awake in bed, eyes wide open, calmly addressing a spirit that's wandered into her apartment — clearly not her first ghostly rodeo.

Enter the male lead: a passionate prosecutor who is absolutely terrified of ghosts. You can already see where this chaotic, opposites-attract chemistry is heading.

Why This K-Drama Matters in 2026

Let's be honest — the K-drama space in 2026 is absolutely stacked. We've already had bangers like Can This Love Be Translated? from the Hong sisters, the vigilante thriller Teach You a Lesson which debuted at No. 1 on Netflix's global chart, and Netflix's first YA horror K-drama If Wishes Could Kill. But Spooky in Love brings something different to the table: the horror-romance blend done by a proven actress at the top of her game.

Park Eun Bin is having a monster year. After The Wonderfools became a word-of-mouth Netflix hit in May — with her playing a teleporting superhero alongside Cha Eun Woo and Im Seong Jae — she's immediately pivoting into a completely different genre. That kind of range is exactly why she remains one of the most bankable actresses in Korean television right now.

Yang Se Jong is equally compelling casting. After his breakout turns in Sweet Home and the time-travel drama Reborn Rich, pairing him with Park Eun Bin in a supernatural romance is a power move from tvN's production team.

What to Expect

The original Spellbound (2011) was a massive hit in Korea, blending horror and romance in a way that felt fresh and genuinely funny. If this remake captures even half of that energy, we're in for something special. The teaser already shows strong chemistry and a great tonal balance between spooky and sweet.

Spooky in Love premieres Saturday, July 18, 2026 on tvN at 9:10 PM KST. Mark your calendars — this one is going to be big.
