What’s the story of Spooky In Love?
A remake of the 2011 hit film Spellbound, the series follows Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin), a hotel heiress who sees ghosts, and Ma Gang Wook (Yang Se Jong), a prosecutor who’s terrified of them. Add a twist: anyone Yeo Ri touches starts seeing ghosts too.

1. A fresh occult romance with a stacked cast
The drama expands the original film into a bigger canvas — new characters, deeper relationships, and a larger-scale narrative. With Park Eun Bin, Yang Se Jong, and Ong Seong Wu headlining, there’s serious star power backing this supernatural spin.
2. A love triangle with real emotional stakes
Yeo Ri has spent years isolated because of her ability, until Gang Wook and her longtime friend Kang Min Hwan (Ong Seong Wu) enter her life. Gang Wook slowly bonds with her despite his fear, while the two-faced Min Hwan pursues her with his own agenda — setting up genuine romantic tension.
3. Ghosts help solve cold cases
Yeo Ri gathers testimony straight from the deceased, while Gang Wook turns those leads into evidence, blending the supernatural with courtroom justice. Each spirit carries its own tragic backstory, adding an emotional layer beneath the mystery-of-the-week format.
