Park Eun-bin Unexpected Transformation in New Occult Romance Drama ‘Spooky in Love’ Is Already Drawing Attention

Park Eun-bin is preparing for yet another dramatic transformation this time as a wealthy heiress who can secretly see ghosts.

On May 21, tvN unveiled the first eerie teaser poster for its upcoming weekend drama ‘Spooky in Love,’ officially confirming Park Eun-bin as the female lead of the new occult romance series. The drama combines supernatural mystery, romance, and comedy in a story centered around a chaebol heiress haunted by an unusual ability and a prosecutor who is terrified of ghosts.

Park Eun-bin Takes on Another Unpredictable Role

In ‘Spooky in Love,’ Park Eun-bin plays Chun Yeo-ri, an elegant and privileged heiress who appears to have everything wealth, beauty, and status but hides a secret no one else knows: she can see ghosts.

The newly released poster shows Yeo-ri standing inside a dark, old-fashioned mansion surrounded by a lonely and unsettling atmosphere. While her appearance remains graceful and composed, her expression hints at emotional isolation and fear hidden beneath the surface.

The role continues Park Eun-bin’s recent streak of unusually diverse projects.

After moving from emotionally intense thrillers like ‘Hyper Knife’ to fantasy adventure comedy in ‘Wonderfools,’ the actress is now entering the world of supernatural romance, once again showing her willingness to avoid predictable career choices.

A Popular Occult Romance Story Returns as a Drama

‘Spooky in Love’ is based on the hit film of the same name, which gained popularity across Asia for blending horror elements with emotional romance and comedy. However, the new television adaptation is expected to expand the original world with additional characters, larger-scale storytelling, and a deeper supernatural mythology designed specifically for the drama format.

One reason the project is already attracting attention is because occult romance dramas are becoming increasingly popular again in Korea, especially among younger audiences looking for genre combinations that feel emotionally intense but still entertaining.

The pairing of ghosts, romance, humor, and chaebol mystery places ‘Spooky in Love’ directly inside that growing trend.

Why Fans Are Already Curious

Many fans are especially curious to see how Park Eun-bin handles the emotional contrast of the role.

While Chun Yeo-ri appears cold and untouchable on the outside, the character is reportedly carrying fear, loneliness, and emotional exhaustion from constantly seeing supernatural beings around her.

The dynamic becomes even more chaotic when she crosses paths with a passionate prosecutor who fears ghosts more than anything else. The drama’s success may ultimately depend on how well it balances horror atmosphere with emotional romance something Korean fantasy dramas have increasingly mastered in recent years.

With Park Eun-bin continuing to reinvent herself project after project, ‘Spooky in Love’ is already becoming one of tvN’s most anticipated upcoming dramas of the summer.

The series premieres on July 18.
