Park Eun-bin's latest drama Spooky in Love has become one of the biggest Korean television success stories of summer 2026. Since its premiere on July 18, the series has steadily climbed in television ratings, dominated online discussions and made an impressive debut on global streaming charts. Its unique mix of mystery, romance, comedy and supernatural storytelling has helped it stand out in a crowded K-drama season.

For viewers in India, Spooky in Love is available to stream on Netflix, with new episodes released every weekend. As the drama continues to build momentum across the globe, many fans are catching up with the series to see why it has become one of this season's breakout hits.

Why Spooky in Love is winning audiences worldwide

The drama follows Cheon Yeo Ri, played by Park Eun-bin, a wealthy heiress who has the unusual ability to see ghosts. Instead of living a normal life, she spends much of her time dealing with spirits and the loneliness that comes with her extraordinary gift.

Her life changes when she crosses paths with prosecutor Ma Kang Wook, played by Yang Se-jong. Together, the pair investigate mysterious crimes by relying on clues left behind by ghosts. Rather than using supernatural elements only to frighten viewers, the series turns them into an important part of every investigation.

This unusual concept has helped Spooky in Love carve out its own identity. Instead of focusing solely on romance or crime, it combines occult themes, detective work, emotional storytelling and light-hearted moments into one engaging narrative.


The drama's global reception shows that appeal. According to an All Kpop report, shortly after its release, Spooky in Love climbed to No. 2 globally in the TV category, making it one of the most-watched Korean dramas around the world. It also reached the No. 1 position in eight countries and regions, including Brazil, Paraguay, Venezuela and Honduras, proving particularly popular with audiences across Latin America.

Back home in South Korea, the series has also enjoyed a strong start. According to Nielsen Korea, Episode 2 recorded 5.3% nationwide viewership, improving by around two percentage points from its premiere. The drama also topped its time slot among cable and general programming channels nationwide as well as in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Online discussions have been equally impressive. Good Data Corporation's latest TV drama buzz rankings placed Spooky in Love at No. 2, while both Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong secured spots among the Top 10 most buzzworthy drama actors.

More about the K-drama Spooky In Love

One of the biggest reasons behind the drama's success has been the chemistry between its lead actors.

Park Eun-bin has earned praise for portraying Cheon Yeo Ri as a woman who has spent much of her life isolated because of her supernatural ability. Her performance captures both the emotional burden of living with ghosts and the warmth she slowly discovers as she begins working alongside Kang Wook.

Yang Se-jong has also impressed viewers with his performance as prosecutor Ma Kang Wook. His character begins as a determined law officer but gradually changes as he becomes involved in Yeo Ri's unusual world. Fans have especially enjoyed the playful banter between the two leads, along with the slow and natural development of their relationship.

Director Lee Min-soo has also received appreciation for maintaining the right balance between suspense and emotion. While the ghost sequences create tension, the series never loses sight of its romantic and emotional core. The cinematography, colour palette and background score have further enhanced the eerie yet comforting atmosphere, making the supernatural world feel believable without overwhelming the story.
