Park Eun Bin and Yang Se Jong Confirmed for 2026 tvN Fantasy Romance Drama Chilling Romance Adapted From 2011 K-movie
K-actress Park Eun Bin continues to challenge herself by playing all sorts of diverse characters and her new one will take her both into chaebol land and into fantasy territory. The K-drama Chilling Romance has confirmed her as the lead and she will be playing a chaebol heiress who also has the unfortunate ability to see ghosts. Yang Se Jong will be her male lead and he’s a top prosecutor in pursuit of justice and her boyfriend who has to deal with the fallout of her ability. The drama is adapted from the 2011 K-movie also titled Chilling Romance (English title Spellbound or My Girlfriend Can See Ghosts) starring Lee Min Ki and Son Ye Jin, but the set up from that movie where the male lead is a magician is changed. The drama will air on tvN sometime in 2026 and will be helmed by the PD of Resident Playbook.
I loved Spellbound/Chilling Romance. Feels weird to produce it as an adaptation when it seems like they’re only taking the idea of a heroine with an unwanted ability to see ghosts. Like they could say the same about Master’s Sun.
I’ll check whatever PEB is in. The ML was the lead actor for Doona. He did well there. Fantasy is my fav genre. But I’m not the one for gory themes. I hope there will be nothing like Gyeongseong Creature or Sweet Home etc.
