Park Eun Bin's 'Spooky in Love' Is the K-Drama We've Been Waiting For — Here's Everything We Know About tvN's Spookiest Rom-Com Yet

Park Eun Bin Is Back — and This Time, She's Seeing Dead People

If you've been anywhere near K-drama Twitter lately, you already know that Park Eun Bin is having a moment. Fresh off the massive success of The Wonderfools, the actress is gearing up for her next project — and it's a wild one. "Spooky in Love", tvN's brand-new investigative occult romance drama, is set to premiere on July 18, 2026, and the teaser has the internet in an absolute chokehold.

The series is a remake of the beloved 2011 film "Spellbound" (starring Son Ye Jin and Lee Min Ki), but don't let that fool you — this isn't just a carbon copy. With a fresh cast, updated setting, and the signature tvN production quality, "Spooky in Love" is shaping up to be the K-drama event of the summer.

What's "Spooky in Love" Actually About?

Here's the setup: Park Eun Bin plays Cheon Yeo Ri, a glamorous hotel heiress and CEO who harbors a very inconvenient secret — she can see ghosts. Not just occasionally. Constantly. It's the reason she always wears gloves, and it's made romance pretty much impossible.

Enter Yang Se Jong (of Dr. Romantic and Thirty But Seventeen fame), who plays Ma Gang Wook, a passionate prosecutor who's absolutely terrified of the supernatural. Naturally, the universe thinks it would be hilarious to throw these two together.

In the newly released teaser, we see the pair share what seems like a romantic moment — until Cheon Yeo Ri removes her glove and takes Ma Gang Wook's hand. The result? He instantly gains the ability to see ghosts too. Chaos ensues. He hides behind her. She delivers the line: "The moment that our hands touch, a spooky romance begins."

It's equal parts terrifying and adorable, which is honestly the exact vibe millennials live for.

The Cast Is Stacked

Beyond the two leads, the cast also includes Ong Seong Wu (known for Strong Girl Nam-soon and At a Distance, Spring Is Green), adding even more star power to the lineup. The chemistry between the three leads is already generating massive buzz on social media, with fans particularly excited to see Ong Seong Wu return to the rom-com genre after his military service.

The series is directed by a team that clearly understands the assignment: blend genuine scares with laugh-out-loud comedy and enough romantic tension to power a small city. Think Guardian: The Lonely and Great God meets Master's Sun, with a modern millennial twist.

Why You Should Be Excited

• Park Eun Bin's track record is basically flawless at this point — from Do You Like Brahms? to The Wonderfools, she hasn't missed yet.
• Yang Se Jong is one of the most underrated actors in the industry, and his comedic timing is *chef's kiss*.
• The occult + romance genre is having a major renaissance in K-drama right now, and this looks like the best entry yet.
• It's a remake of "Spellbound", which means the story foundation is already proven — but with fresh energy.

"Spooky in Love" premieres on tvN on July 18, 2026, at 9:10 PM KST. For international viewers, the series is expected to stream on Netflix shortly after the Korean broadcast, following the platform's pattern of picking up major tvN titles.
