Touch can be a beautiful thing, but in tvNโs upcoming series, a single handshake could alter your reality forever.
The highly anticipated occult romantic comedy Spooky in Love (์ค์นํ ์ฐ์ ) has officially unveiled a set of symbolic character posters. Featuring top-tier stars Park Eunbin, Yang Sejong, and Ong Seongwu, the visual previews hint at a dark, tense, and thrilling love triangle structured around a terrifying supernatural secret.
Scheduled to premiere on Saturday, July 18, 2026, Spooky in Love follows a wealthy chaebol heiress who can see ghosts and a fiercely dedicated prosecutor who is utterly terrified of them.
The Symbolic Posters: Three Ways to Hold a Hand
The newly released posters use a brilliant visual motif: the act of holding hands. Each character approaches physical contact in a way that perfectly mirrors their underlying motives, hidden secrets, and personal values.
- Cheon Yeori (Park Eunbin): The ghost-seeing chaebol heiress centers the mystery. In her poster, she wears heavy gloves, reaching through a thick, eerie fog to block and push away an approaching hand. Yeori harbors a dangerous curse: anyone who touches her bare hand instantly gains the ability to see ghosts too. Her poster line asks an omen-filled question: “Are you truly confident enough to hold my hand?”
- Ma Ganguk (Yang Sejong): A relentless, hyper-focused prosecutor, Ganguk fears the supernatural but refuses to let terror compromise his sense of justice. He grips Yeoriโs hand without an ounce of hesitation. Staring straight ahead with unshakeable resolve, his tagline reads: “If it’s your hand, I guess I’ll try holding it one more time.” For Ganguk, holding her hand is a deliberate choice to step into danger to uncover the truth.
- Kang Minhwan (Ong Seongwu): A wealthy hotel industry heir, Minhwan hides a pitch-black ambition behind a perfectly polished, gentle exterior. Instead of a mutual grip, his poster shows him aggressively jerking a hand toward himself, treating touch as an act of absolute possession. His chilling line reveals his true nature: “I only rest easy once the things I want are firmly gripped in my hand.”

By interweaving supernatural stakes with high-society power plays, Spooky in Love elevates the classic K-drama love triangle into a gripping psychological game.
