Park Eun-bin’s new tvN drama ‘Chilling Romance’ set for Netflix release in July 2026

A new occult romantic K-drama led by Park Eun-bin, Yang Se-jong, and Ong Seong-wu is heading to Netflix this summer, combining mystery, ghosts, and a high-stakes love story.

One of tvN’s most anticipated 2026 dramas is already gaining global attention.

Chilling Romance — the upcoming series starring Park Eun-bin — has been confirmed for a July 2026 release on Netflix, with episodes scheduled to air on weekends. The drama will run for 12 episodes, and distribution details for different regions are expected to be announced soon.

A romance that begins with ghosts and unsolved murders

The story follows an unusual partnership between:

• a luxury hotel heiress who can see ghosts
• a passionate prosecutor who hunts down cold cases

Every night, the female lead is tormented by the spirits of people who died unjustly, while the prosecutor dedicates his life to exposing hidden crimes. Their chaotic teamwork gradually turns into a romance as they confront both supernatural and real-world darkness.

The series is directed by Lee Min-soo and written by Choi Jung-mi, based on the screenplay of the 2011 film Spellbound.

Park Eun-bin takes on another transformative role

Park Eun-bin will play Cheon Yeo-ri, a powerful hotel CEO born into a top conglomerate family.

On the surface, she has everything — wealth, beauty, and influence — but she hides a dangerous secret: she has been able to see ghosts her entire life.

The project continues her streak of genre-defining performances following global hits such as:

• Extraordinary Attorney Woo
• The King’s Affection
• Castaway Diva

She is also set to appear in the Netflix series The WONDERfools, further strengthening her relationship with the platform.

Yang Se-jong returns as a justice-driven prosecutor

Yang Se-jong plays Ma Gang-uk, an elite prosecutor known for his intelligence, emotional depth, and strong moral compass.

As he becomes involved with Cheon Yeo-ri, the drama blends investigative storytelling with emotional romance — a combination that has been performing strongly in the global K-drama market.

Ong Seong-wu’s major comeback after military service

This drama marks Ong Seong-wu’s first major series role since completing his military service in October 2024.

A former member of WANNA ONE, he has built a steady acting career and will play Kang Min-hwan, adding another layer to the central storyline.

A global K-drama to watch in 2026

With a top-tier cast, a supernatural romance concept, and a Netflix release window, Chilling Romance is already positioned as one of the key K-drama titles for the second half of 2026.

The combination of:

• occult mystery
• high-society setting
• investigative crime
• emotional romance

places the series directly in the genre space that has recently performed well with international audiences.

More details on the global streaming rollout and full release schedule are expected soon.
