Actress Park Eun-bin confirmed to headline the upcoming drama remake of “Spellbound” (2011), starring Son Ye-jin and Lee Min-ki. The remake, titled “Chilling Romance: Find Me”, promises a unique blend of occult comedy-romance featuring a ghost-seeing hotel heiress and an impassioned prosecutor solving social injustices together.
Park Eun-bin will portray Cheon Yeo-ri, a stunning hotel heiress tormented by vengeful spirits who haunts her nightly. Outwardly perfect, she hides a chilling secret: she can see ghosts — the same role originally played by Son Ye-jin.
The remake brings back fan-favorite elements tailored for contemporary storytelling. The original 2011 film drew more than 3 million viewers nationwide and inspired successful adaptations across Asia and even stage productions in Korea.
A representative from Namoo Actors noted that Park Eun-bin is currently reviewing the offer for her comeback, returning to romantic-comedy with this project anticipated to air in 2026.
Additionally, actor Yang Se-jong is reported to be cast as Park Eun-bin’s love interest, likely playing the hot-blooded prosecutor in the story
