Korean drama 'Spooky in Love' revives 2011 film 'Spellbound' on tvN

tvN’s series Spooky in Love, which premiered on July 18, is a 12‑episode remake of the 2011 romantic‑comedy horror film Spellbound. The drama stars Park Eun‑bin as heiress Cheon Yeo‑ri, who can see ghosts, and Yang Se‑jong as prosecutor Ma Gang‑wook, with Ong Seong‑wu playing rival suitor Kang Min‑hwan. The plot follows Yeo‑ri’s cursed ability, a fake engagement that fuels a love triangle, and the mystery of a yacht accident that triggered her supernatural sight.

The adaptation reflects a broader trend in South Korean entertainment, where streaming growth is prompting producers to revisit classic movies for television and online platforms, expanding familiar stories into longer formats for built‑in audiences.
