What's the Story?
In SPOOKY IN LOVE, wealthy heiress and hotel CEO Yeo-ri (Park Eun-bin) resigns herself to a lonely life because anyone she touches becomes haunted by the ghosts that follow her. Everything changes when an idealistic young prosecutor realizes her supernatural ability may be the key to solving otherwise impossible murder cases, drawing the pair into a series of mysteries while an unlikely romance begins to blossom.
Is It Any Good?
this show blends romance, supernatural horror, murder mysteries, and family drama into a surprisingly cohesive package. The relationship between Yeo-ri and the young prosecutor in Spooky in Love is especially compelling, with her inability to touch him creating an effective "will they, won't they" tension that keeps viewers invested. The series balances eerie ghost encounters and occasional jump scares with moments of humor and romance, making it feel like Korea's answer to the cozy supernatural mystery. While the horror elements won't appeal to everyone, viewers who enjoy a little suspense alongside their romance will find plenty to enjoy.
