The East Palace and Spooky in Love share many of the same core themes despite having very different settings and tones. Both dramas center on protagonists with supernatural abilities who become involved in solving ghost-related mysteries while gradually building a strong emotional bond. Each series blends multiple genres—including mystery, romance, supernatural fantasy, humor, and suspense—rather than relying solely on horror, with ghost investigations serving as the driving force behind the story. However, their biggest difference lies in their atmosphere. The East Palace is a darker historical fantasy set in the Joseon era, focusing on royal palace curses, political intrigue, and a haunting spirit realm, while Spooky in Love takes place in the modern day and presents its supernatural elements through a lighter, more romantic and comedic lens. Even so, viewers who enjoy the mix of ghost cases, compelling lead chemistry, and emotionally driven supernatural storytelling in one series are likely to appreciate the other as well.
Hoshino Midori has been worn down by the hectic pace of working at a cosmetic surgery clinic. But when the clinic suddenly goes bankrupt, she unexpectedly finds herself unemployed. Seeing her at a loss, her older brother, Konta, suggests she take a "vacation from life" by staying at the villa their late grandmother left behind. Awaiting Midori at the villa are a beautiful seaside view, a garden overflowing with ripe summer oranges, and a mysterious caretaker named Nishigami, whose otherworldly presence immediately stands out. Soon, her close friends Rinrin, Tsumugi, and Tetsuro also gather at the villa. With Nishigami's help, they settle into a fulfilling summer vacation, enjoying carefree days together. Yet as Nishigami quietly watches over them as the villa's caretaker, a trace of sadness occasionally crosses his face. What is the true reason he continues to protect this villa? As summer draws to a close, an approaching storm threatens to dramatically change both Midori's and Nishigami's destinies.
