Weekend Streaming: Spooky in Love & More — Jul 18

Saturday is here, and while today's streaming calendar is quiet, the weekend watchlist is anything but. Between a fresh K-drama on Netflix, a new Disney+ musical adventure, and a horror hit on Peacock, there's something for every mood this weekend.

Headliner: Spooky in Love

The big news today is Spooky in Love, a Korean horror-romantic comedy premiering on Netflix that marks Park Eun Bin's return to our screens. Based on the 2011 film Spellbound, the 12-episode series follows Cheon Yeo-ri (Park Eun Bin), a chaebol heiress and hotel CEO who can see ghosts — and who causes anyone she touches to see them too. She teams up with Ma Kang-uk (Yang Se Jong), a prosecutor who's terrified of the paranormal, to crack unsolved murder cases. Naturally, sparks fly between the ghost-haunted heiress and the easily-spooked prosecutor.

Park Eun Bin needs no introduction to K-drama fans. After stealing hearts in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Castaway Diva, and this year's The WONDERfools, she brings her signature warmth to a character who's equal parts haunted heiress and reluctant ghost investigator. Yang Se Jong (Doona, Dr. Romantic) plays the terrified prosecutor with comic timing and genuine charm, while Ong Seong Wu (Strong Girl Nam Soon) rounds out the main cast as a rival hotel CEO with his own designs on Yeo-ri.

Directed by Lee Min-soo (Resident Playbook) and written by Choi Jung-mi (Shoot My Heart), the series drops two episodes every Saturday and Sunday — ideal weekend-paced viewing. The first two episodes premiere today, with the full 12-episode run stretching through late August. Early buzz from Korean previews has highlighted the show's blend of genuine scares and laugh-out-loud comedy, with particular praise for the chemistry between Park and Yang.

Weekend Catch-Up: Descendants: Wicked Wonderland

If your household skews younger — or you simply enjoy a well-made musical fantasy — Descendants: Wicked Wonderland landed on Disney+ Friday and is already drawing strong audience reactions. The fifth film in the Descendants franchise picks up where The Rise of Red left off, with Red and Chloe discovering their time-altering adventure created a new adversary: Maddox Hatter (Leonardo Nam), a chaotic force from Wonderland itself.

Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker reprise their roles as Red and Chloe, and the musical numbers deliver the high-energy song-and-dance sequences the franchise is known for. Early reactions suggest this installment leans harder into the Wonderland aesthetic — think Cheshire Cat cameos, tea-party set pieces, and plenty of madcap energy. It's a solid weekend choice for families, landing at a brisk 95 minutes that won't test younger attention spans.

Also Streaming This Weekend

Over on Peacock, the indie horror hit Obsession — with a 97% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes — is now available to stream after its theatrical run earlier this year. The film, which became one of 2026's most talked-about genre releases, follows a man whose wish comes true in disastrous fashion, blending dark comedy with genuine dread. It's a strong pick for anyone who missed it in theaters and wants a properly unsettling weekend watch.

Coming This Week

Sunday brings The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 on AMC, streaming the next day on Netflix — the fan-favorite spin-off continues Norman Reedus's European odyssey through a post-apocalyptic France. Monday sees Wicked: For Good hit theaters nationwide (with a streaming date to follow), bringing the second chapter of the blockbuster musical adaptation to the big screen. Tuesday rounds out with Bill Maher receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Netflix, a Kennedy Center celebration featuring tributes from comedy heavyweights — worth catching even if political comedy isn't usually your thing.

What to Watch First

Start your Saturday with Spooky in Love — it's genre-blending K-drama at its most entertaining, with two episodes to ease into. For family movie night, Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is an easy winner. And if you're craving something darker, Obsession on Peacock will scratch that horror itch.
