tvN’s Spooky in Love has dropped captivating new stills spotlighting its talented supporting cast members in character. The fresh images reveal the actors delivering nuanced performances that promise to enrich the supernatural narrative with layered personalities and hidden agendas. These visuals heighten anticipation for how the ensemble will intertwine with the central occult romance.
Adapted from the 2011 hit film Spellbound, this fresh series weaves ghostly apparitions into a passionate love story set against the backdrop of a powerful hotel empire. A young heiress capable of seeing spirits forms an uneasy alliance with a skilled prosecutor who dreads anything supernatural, leading to both comedic mishaps and heartfelt connections. Their partnership becomes further complicated by ambitious family members and corporate rivalries.
The story’s intense love triangle revolves around Cheon Yeo-ri (Park Eun-bin), Ma Gang-wook (Yang Se-jong), and Kang Min-hwan (Ong Seong-wu). Cheon Yeo-ri finds herself torn between the passionate yet fearful prosecutor and the enigmatic Kang Min-hwan while managing her unique abilities and corporate responsibilities.
Supporting characters portrayed by Jo Hye-joo, Kim Do-wan, Lee Joon-hyuk, and others bring additional tension and depth to these central dynamics. These multifaceted supporting roles promise to elevate the series with their personal ambitions and surprising alliances that intersect with the main trio’s journey.
Jo Hye-joo portrays Cheon Ha-ri, a member of the royal family of the Reina Hotel & Resort Group. As Cheon Yeo-ri’s cousin from a collateral branch, she occupies a disadvantageous position in the succession race. Harboring feelings of inferiority toward her cousin, Cheon Ha-ri watches for opportunities to claim a greater role.
Kim Do-wan plays Park Seung-jae, a professional golfer and Cheon Ha-ri’s fiancé. He is the only son of a family at the top of South Korea’s power elite. Holding a grudge against prosecutor Ma Gang-wook from a past legal dispute, Park Seung-jae forms tense confrontations alongside Cheon Ha-ri.
Lee Joon-hyuk takes on the role of Bong Ji-wook, the general manager of Reina Hotel. As a capable professional handling the hotel’s overall operations, he closely assists CEO Cheon Yeo-ri. Bong Ji-wook secretly develops a sense of closeness with her amid his duties.
Kim Seo-ra appears as Song Hee-won, the vice chairwoman of CL Hotel & Resort Group. With a gentle appearance and determined personality, she hides a significant secret about her son Kang Min-hwan. This hidden aspect adds layers of intrigue to her character’s motivations.
Lee Chang-hoon portrays Go Pil-dong, an investigator at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. Possessing excellent intuition and the ability to read situations quickly, he shares a close brotherly bond with prosecutor Ma Gang-wook. Their friendship provides strong support within the professional and personal storylines.
Baek Ji-won plays Ok Gye-hee, the mother of Cheon Ha-ri. She meticulously designs succession plans to pass the group to her own children rather than Cheon Yeo-ri. Having spent years navigating family dynamics carefully around her mother-in-law, she demonstrates exceptional social savvy.
