A prosecutor terrified of ghosts and a chaebol heiress who can see them — tvN’s newest occult romance is setting up a wonderfully chaotic pairing, and the first preview clip proves it.’
What Spooky In Love Shows?
The newly released sneak peek from “Spooky in Love” opens with prosecutor Ma Gang Wook (Yang Se Jong) arriving at a luxury hotel, visibly awed by its grand exterior. The clip then flashes back to explain how he ended up there — an investigation into a specific pair of sneakers leads him to discover that the buyer is none other than Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin), a reclusive chaebol heiress and CEO of the country’s top luxury hotel chain. Since she avoids public appearances entirely, his colleague warns him that showing up without a warrant means he’ll likely be turned away at the door.

The Premise
“Spooky in Love” reimagines the 2011 film “Spellbound” as a romance drama centered on a hotel heiress who can see ghosts and a passionate prosecutor who’s terrified of them. Their chaotic partnership promises to blend supernatural comedy with slow-burn romantic tension as their worlds inevitably collide.
Occult romance as a subgenre has become increasingly popular in Korean television, often mixing horror-adjacent premises with lighthearted comedic pacing (Wikipedia).
Both leads bring proven track records to the table — Park Eun Bin from acclaimed roles like “Do You Like Brahms?” and Yang Se Jong from fan-favorites like “Thirty But Seventeen” — setting high expectations for this upcoming pairing.
