Some friendships come with an expiry date — especially when one person is hiding a curse and the other is hiding his true nature. That’s exactly the tension building between Park Eun Bin and Ong Seong Wu ahead of tvN’s upcoming occult romance.

Two Chaebol Heirs, Two Big Secrets
A remake of the 2011 film “Spellbound,” “Spooky in Love” is an occult romance drama about the chaotic partnership between a hotel heiress who can see ghosts and a passionate prosecutor who is terrified of them.
Park Eun Bin stars as Cheon Yeo Ri, a chaebol heiress who is the CEO of the country’s top luxury hotel, who despite hailing from a prestigious family and possessing both wealth and beauty, lives in self-imposed isolation and keeps a strict distance from others because anyone who touches her ends up seeing ghosts too.
Ong Seong Wu plays Kang Min Hwan, a hotel heir and CEO who hides his dark ambition beneath his charming smile and gentlemanly demeanor, secretly a ruthless person determined to prove himself to his parents and the company.
A Friendship Turning Complicated
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Bond | Long-time friends, both hiding chaebol-world secrets |
| Shift | Kang Min Hwan starts developing feelings for Cheon Yeo Ri that go beyond friendship soompi |
| Her response | She tries to keep her distance and stay professional to protect him from her curse |
| New stills | He greets her warmly; she backs away with an awkward expression |
| Later stills | He gazes coldly at her with no trace of his usual smile, hinting at a rift |
The production team teased that this dynamic will deliver “a different kind of entertainment” from Cheon Yeo Ri’s romance with Ma Gang Wook, urging viewers to watch her sincere effort to grow apart from her friend in order to protect him, and his earnest attempt to change her mind.
This blend of romance, rivalry, and the supernatural taps into familiar territory for the broader Korean drama genre, which frequently uses fantasy elements to heighten emotional stakes.
