The Korean drama "Spooky in Love" premiered last weekend on tvN, becoming the station's latest Saturday-Sunday series. How has the local South Korean audience responded to this supernatural crime story?
Episode 1 of Spooky in Love aired on Saturday night (July 18, 2026), in a slot close to Agent Kim Reactivated on SBS and The Apartment Job on JTBC. Saturday night drama competition is really fierce!
The two dramas mentioned above have already captured viewers' hearts since their first episodes. Spooky in Love is now entering the fray, though it had to settle for a 3.0% rating for its opening episode, according to Nielsen Korea.
However, the numbers improved when episode 2 aired on Sunday (July 19th). The ratings jumped from 3.0% to 5.3% for the second episode, indicating growing viewer interest.
The Apartment Job is Spooky in Love's biggest rival on Sunday night. Both air on cable channels, and their ratings are already starting to race. Furthermore, The Apartment Job stars Ji Sung as the lead.
The story and vibe are also very different from Spooky in Love, which emphasizes fantasy elements with young faces like Park Eun Bin, Yang Se Jong, and Ong Seong Wu. Overall, Spooky in Love's small screen debut wasn't that bad.
Its ratings were still within the threshold of a 'flop' on cable channels, which are usually below 3%. Judging by the upward ratings trend, this could be the next tvN weekend series to enter the ranks of viewers' favorites, after Undercover Miss Hong.
The Korean drama Spooky in Love tells the story of Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin), a daughter of a conglomerate and heiress to a luxury hotel. Despite her adoring looks, she harbors a terrifying secret. Not many people know that Cheon Yeo Ri has the ability to see ghosts.
This talent makes her life less smooth than she expected. One day, she meets Ma Gang Wook (Yang Se Jong), a handsome, brilliant prosecutor who always upholds justice. He's the type of person who won't back down when he sees others being treated unfairly.
Their meeting creates a unique and unexpected bond. Cheon Yeo Ri and Ma Gang Wook eventually work together to solve cases that arise using their respective abilities. Slowly, romance grows between the two.
