[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] tvN’s “Chilling Romance,” starring actors Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong, wrapped up with its highest viewership rating. “Chilling Romance”In the final episode of tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Chilling Romance,”which aired on the 23rd, Cheon Yeo-ri (played by Park Eun-bin), having broken free from a long-standing curse, held hands with her lover Ma Kang-wook (played by Yang Se-jong) and returned to an ordinary life, bringing the story to a happy ending. The finale recorded a nationwide average viewership rating of 7.9% with a peak of 9%, and a Seoul metropolitan area average of 7.9% with a peak of 8.9%. It set new record-high viewership ratings for both the nationwide and Seoul metropolitan area markets. (Based on paid platforms combining cable, IPTV, and satellite / Provided by Nielsen Korea) Cheon Yeo-ri, who had fallen into a coma following a traffic accident, returned to life from the brink of the afterlife with the help of the spirits she had once aided—particularly her old friend Kang Ji-hwan (played by Kim Min-cheol). Having paid the price for her life—sacrificed by Kang Ji-hwan—Cheon Yeo-ri could no longer see ghosts and was completely freed from the curse, to the point where nothing happened even when she touched other people. Ma Kang-wook also stood firmly by her side as Cheon Yeo-ri’s lover. Meanwhile, Kang Min-hwan (played by Ong Seong-wu), whose past misdeeds were all exposed, met a tragic end. Kang Min-hwan, who had been consumed by the label of “adopted child” and had rejected himself, sincerely repented after hearing his mother, Song Hee-won (played by Kim Seo-ra), tell him that she had never once failed to consider him family. Thus, having unraveled every secret—from the truth behind the yacht incident 12 years ago to the vicious curse—Cheon Yeo-ri and Ma Kang-wook met again at Siena Hall, where they had once promised each other eternal love. Having realized their dream of walking hand in hand—a dream that once seemed impossible—they spent an intimate moment imagining their future together, bringing “Chilling Romance” to a close. “Chilling Romance” is a zany occult romance between a chaebol heiress who can see ghosts and a passionate prosecutor who fears ghosts more than anything. It garnered high expectations thanks to the casting of Park Eun-bin, who has established herself as a “trusted actress” through shows such as “Do You Like Brahms?”, “The Odd Lawyer Woo Young-woo,” and “Love.” “Chilling Romance” gained global popularity, maintaining a spot in the top 10 for five consecutive weeks in the “Global Top Non-English Shows” category, as announced on Netflix’s official website.
