Actor Jo Hye-Joo made a perfect transformation into a free-spirited royal family member who could go anywhere, imprinting a strong presence from her first appearance and capturing the attention of viewers.
Jo Hye-Joo showed a change in her acting by playing Cheon Ha-ri, the cousin of Cheon Yeo-ri (Park Eunbin), the heiress of the ReiNa Hotel & Resort Group, in tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama Spooky in Love, which premiered at 9:10 p.m. on the 18th. Spooky in Love is a work that depicts an occult romance full of ups and downs between a chaebol heiress who sees ghosts and a passionate prosecutor who is most afraid of ghosts.
In the episode, Cheon Ha-ri attracted attention with her handsome looks, sophisticated styling and confident, self-assured attitude. While exuding the aura of a glamorous royal family, she smoothly portrayed an honest and unrestrained charm that was not bound by formality.

In particular, Cheon Ha-ri did not hide her subtle inferiority complex and jealousy toward her cousin Cheon Yeo-ri due to the realistic limitation of being from a collateral branch, creating strong tension. When her fiancé Park Seung-jae (a person surnamed Kim, Kim Do Wan) is thrown into a crisis as a suspect in a mysterious murder case, she stands firmly on his side while directing sharp suspicion and resentment at Cheon Yeo-ri, who had been at the crime scene, raising the conflict of the drama. It is a passage that raises expectations for the fierce rivalry and "tiki-taka" she will unfold with Park Eunbin going forward.
Jo Hye-Joo maintained an outwardly relaxed, radiant smile while delicately bringing to life the character's complex emotional lines with subtle details, such as fleeting moments of rivalry and displeased looks. She digested Cheon Ha-ri's three-dimensional inner world, mixed with pride and lack, with steady acting ability.
Jo Hye-Joo has built her filmography by appearing in dramas such as Reborn Rich, The Secret Romantic Greathouse, My Demon and Dear Hyeri.
