01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Cheon Yeo-ri has wealth, beauty and a hotel empire, but she has not touched another person with her bare hands in ten years. After a near-drowning in her youth, she gained the ability to see ghosts, and worse, anyone she touches can see them too. She lives a lonely life, haunted nightly by spirits who died unjustly and need her help to move on. Ma Kang-wook is an ace prosecutor with a sharp mind, a strong sense of justice and one embarrassing weakness: he is terrified of ghosts. When he keeps finding Yeo-ri at crime scenes he cannot explain, and then accidentally touches her hand, his life changes in the most inconvenient way possible. Together they form an unlikely partnership, solving unsolved murders with the help of the dead themselves, while a slow romance grows between two people who are both afraid of getting close. Spooky in Love is a supernatural romantic comedy based on the 2011 film Spellbound, starring Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong. The idea is delightful and the leads are appealing, but the ghost cases are underused and the middle episodes lose momentum. A light, charming watch, best enjoyed for its stars.

The Oxfea take.

Oxfea Score: 6.6/10 — Good, but flawed

Verdict in one line: A charming idea and two appealing leads, stretched thin by a remake that never quite finds its own voice.

Why you’ll get hooked

  • A hotel heiress who sees ghosts, and one touch from her makes you see them too.
  • A prosecutor who is afraid of ghosts but keeps walking into haunted cases.
  • Based on the 2011 film Spellbound, with a fresh cast and a familiar heart.

Story, in plain words

Cheon Yeo-ri is the heiress and CEO of a hotel group, a woman who appears to have everything. Her secret is that she can see ghosts, and anyone who touches her bare hand can see them too. After a near-drowning years ago, she has lived a lonely life, keeping everyone at a distance. Ma Kang-wook is a determined prosecutor who investigates unsolved murders and is, inconveniently, terrified of ghosts.

When their paths cross at a crime scene, a touch changes everything, and the two form an uneasy partnership to solve paranormal cases. Spooky in Love is a supernatural romantic comedy with a fun premise and strong leads in Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong, but it underuses its ghost cases and the story drifts in the middle. Watch it for the leads and the charm.
