Box office guarantee Park Eun-bin teams up with Yang Se-jong and Ong Seong-wu, teasing tangled relationships with a bold ‘hand’ motif that’s already sparking buzz.
On the 24th, tvN’s new Saturday–Sunday drama Spooky in Love dropped character posters featuring the trio.
The posters spotlight Cheon Yeori (played by Park Eun-bin), Ma Kang-uk (Yang Se-jong), and Kang Min-hwan (Ong Seong-wu), each locking hands in strikingly different ways.
Cheon Yeori, a chaebol heiress who can see ghosts, wears gloves as she reaches through the fog to stop an approaching hand. Anyone who touches her also begins to see ghosts — a chilling secret she carries. The line “Are you really brave enough to hold my hand?” cranks up the intrigue around her past and her curse. In contrast, Ma Kang-uk meets her challenge head-on, clasping the other hand as if accepting her dare. His caption, “If it’s your hand, I’ll grab it again,” underlines his firm resolve.
Hotel heir Kang Min-hwan yanks the other person’s hand toward him, radiating possessiveness and ambition. His line, “I only calm down when what I want is in my hand,” signals he’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants. Through these posters, Spooky in Love boldly showcases each character’s vibe and amps up anticipation for the premiere.
Online reactions are split: “The poster copy is tacky,” “Not feeling the drama,” “All the male leads are so handsome,” and “I’m excited,” showing sharply divided opinions.
Spooky in Love follows a ghost-seeing chaebol heiress and a ghost-fearing, hard-charging prosecutor in a chaotic occult romance. The drama premieres July 18 at 9:10 p.m. and will also be available on TVING and Netflix.
