Some characters are defined by their strength. Yang Se Jong’s new role in Spooky in Love is defined by the one thing that completely undoes it — and the contrast is exactly what makes the new teaser so fun.
What the Teaser Reveals
The clip introduces Ma Gang Wook (Yang Se Jong) as a prosecutor who backs down from nothing — not wealth, not power, not pressure from anyone trying to shield the guilty. He’s shown fearlessly pursuing justice regardless of who’s standing in his way.
Then the twist lands: this same fearless prosecutor is completely terrified of ghosts, to the point where he can’t even watch horror movies. After hearing a rumor about a ghost haunting a particular bathroom during rainstorms, he’s shown trembling in the doorway, working up the nerve to yell into the dark before fleeing. The teaser closes on him panicked, rushing to Cheon Yeo Ri’s (Park Eun Bin) house and calling out for her — only for her voice-over to tease that he’d claimed not to be scared of anything.

Why This Premise Works
Pairing a hotel heiress who can see ghosts with someone who’s completely unnerved by them is a classic mismatched-partners setup, and remakes of well-loved films carry an extra layer of anticipation — audiences already know the emotional beats but want to see how a new cast reinterprets them. Yang Se Jong leaning into comedic vulnerability, rather than playing the prosecutor as purely composed, gives the premise real charm before the romance even kicks in.
Occult and supernatural elements have long been a staple of romantic comedy storytelling, often used to inject humor and tension into otherwise familiar love-story structures.
