"Spooky in Love" Just Dropped on Netflix — Park Eun-bin’s Ghost Romance Is Already Breaking Records

A Fresh Take on a Classic K-Drama Romance

Netflix just dropped its newest romantic fantasy hit, and millennial romantics are already obsessed. “Spooky in Love”—starring powerhouse actress Park Eun-bin alongside comedic legend Yang Se-jong—premiered on July 18, 2026, bringing a modern 12-episode expansion of the beloved 2011 Korean film "Spellbound."

But wait, there’s more: Ong Seong-wu (from NCT/WJSN) also joins the cast, adding another layer of chemistry to this ghost-tapping love triangle that’s got everyone talking.

Why This Remake Actually Works

The original 2011 movie starred Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin, becoming an instant classic among K-drama fans worldwide. But creator Choi Young-chul decided to stretch the story into a full drama series format, giving each character room to breathe and grow.

Park Eun-bin shines as Cha Tae-eun, a radio producer who discovers she can communicate with the dead through her late grandfather’s vintage tape recorder. Her partner? The hilarious yet surprisingly charming Yang Se-jong, playing detective Ji Sang-hoon who reluctantly helps solve supernatural crimes while hiding his own connection to the spirit world.

When they team up, they discover ghosts aren’t always here to haunt you—sometimes they need your help to move on. And between cases, there’s that adorable slow-burn romance we’ve all been waiting for!
