Light -hearted rom-com perfect for a chill day

I will start with what I enjoyed most to what I enjoyed less :

✅️ The costumes & cinematography :

Park Eun Bin looks absolutely beautiful in all her outfits 😍. I’d expect nothing less from a rich heiress character like hers. And Yang Se Jong’s suave look? Simply gorgeous! I’d say their visuals complement each other so well.

✅️ Acting, character, romance & chemistry :

The entire cast delivered solid performances. I absolutely love Ma Gang Uk character. He has officially earned a spot on my list of green-flag MLs in K-drama land. I really enjoyed watching our Glove Couple. Their romance was cute and sweet, and the leads had such good chemistry. Honestly, their chemistry was the main factor that made me rate this drama higher than I probably would have otherwise.

✅️ The humor :

I really savoured the humor here. I liked that it wasn’t overdone, yet it still managed to make me smile, giggle, and even laugh out loud at times. Notable mentions: the humor in the early episodes, the scenes featuring the ML and his two assistants, and the scenes involving the two grandmothers.

☑️ The plot :

Watching the early episodes of this drama reminds me so much of The Master's Sun, where the FL also has the ability to see ghosts. The plot was indeed cliché, but I still really enjoyed it. I especially loved the first 5 episodes. There were even some scenes that genuinely scared me while watching at night 🥶. However, I still enjoyed the rest of the episodes too—especially after I started using the 3x speed function whenever the family feud drama came on screen. I have to mention this: the bloopers at the end of Episode 12 were pure GOLD! 😂 I wish more dramas would include bloopers in their final episodes too. It’s such a fun way to wrap things up!

☑️ The OST :

While none of the songs stood out as favorites for me, they fit the story perfectly.

🔴 Conclusion :

My rating was between 8 and 8.5, but I settled on 8.5 for the reasons I mentioned above. The plot of Spooky in Love was pretty basic and nothing particularly new you would forget the plot after months but I think what made the drama better was the romance and chemistry between the leads, along with the humor.
