tvN continues to introduce the characters for its upcoming fantasy drama « Spooky in Love »this time with the first images from’Ong Seong-woo in his role as Kang Min-hwan.
Scheduled for release in July, the drama will bring together Park Eun-bin, Yang Se-jong and Ong Seong-woo in an occult romance inspired by the Korean film Spellbound. «Spooky in Love» tells the story of Cheon Yeo-ri, a hotel heiress who can see ghosts, and Ma Gang-wook, a passionate prosecutor who suddenly develops this same ability while being terrorized by spirits.
The arrival of Kang Min-hwan could well complicate the situation further and bring a darker dimension to this supernatural romance.
A charismatic heir with an impeccable reputation
Ong Seong-woo plays Kang Min-hwan, heir to the CL hotel and tourism group and general manager of the prestigious CL Raymond Hotel.
Recognized for his intelligence, elegance and professionalism, he enjoys an excellent reputation in the business world. His polite, rational attitude makes it easy for him to win the trust of those around him.
His close relations include Cheon Yeo-ri (Park Eun-bin), who considers him a trusted friend.
A man driven by ambition
But behind this perfect image lies a much more complex personality.
According to the production team, Kang Min-hwan is a particularly calculating strategist who knows how to use the trust of others to his advantage when pursuing an objective.
Driven by a deep need for recognition and love, he will do anything to achieve his ambitions. «When he sets himself a goal, he doesn't hesitate to exploit his opponents» weaknesses. Behind his gentle, refined exterior lies a man who will do anything to get what he wants," explains the production.
A role that promises to show a new side of Ong Seong-wu
With this multi-faceted character, Ong Seong-wu should once again demonstrate his versatility. The actor will have the onerous task of making the reassuring charm of a well-liked leader coexist with the darker side of a man driven by more worrying ambitions.
Her potential opposition with Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong's characters could become one of the drama's central elements.
«Spooky in Love» will debut on July 18 on tvN and will also be available simultaneously on Netflix.
