The script reading session was attended by director Lee Min-soo, writer Choi Jung-mi, and the cast of 'Chilling Romance'. Park Eun-bin humorously vowed to make the sweltering summer 'chilling', as the actors immersed themselves in their characters with passion.

Park Eun-bin leads the narrative as Cheon Yeori, heiress to the nation's top luxury hotel. Despite her glamorous appearance and immense wealth, she lives a secluded life due to her secret of seeing ghosts, which she portrays with a poignant gaze and voice.

Yang Se-jong convincingly portrays Ma Gang-wook, a character with a strong sense of justice. His portrayal of Ma Gang-wook, who remains by Cheon Yeori's side despite his fears, is both endearing and heart-stirring.

Ong Seong-wu plays Kang Min-hwan, the CEO of CL Raymond Hotel, who hides ambition behind a gentle facade. His character's dual nature, showing warmth to Cheon Yeori but changing demeanor with others, adds intrigue.

Through the script reading, the actors infused their characters with unique colors, gradually syncing their performances. As the story unfolds with the relationship between heiress Cheon Yeori and prosecutor Ma Gang-wook, and the tales of the departed, the session was filled with diverse reactions, making the anticipation for 'Chilling Romance' even greater.

The production team stated, "'Chilling Romance' will depict the journey of a woman who hears voices others can't and a man uncovering hidden truths, as they unite to uncover the truth of death and ultimately fall in love, offering both thrill and catharsis." They added, "Look forward to the perfect chemistry of the young actors portraying the banter between a ghost-seeing heiress and a passionate prosecutor."

With the 'chilling' synergy of Park Eun-bin, Yang Se-jong, and Ong Seong-wu, tvN's new weekend drama 'Chilling Romance' is set to premiere in July, promising to beat the summer heat.
