We’re entering the scariest time of the year — Halloween — and what better way to ring in the spooky season than to curl up on your couch binge-watching K-dramas that will bring a chill down your spine? Of course, Koreans do love their ghost stories but count on them to go beyond the scare factor and make us understand what the afterlife is like.
If this kind of horror is your cup of tea, you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up a list of supernatural K-dramas that you can watch on Viu Premium with PLDT Home. Turn the lights on and prepare a blanket just in case — some of the ghosts can still scare the wits out of you once you let your guard down.
The Master’s Sun

Trust the legendary Hong Sisters (screenwriters known for their slew of K-drama hits like My Girl, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, and Alchemy of Souls to name a few) to deliver a supernatural series about ghosts that will have you feeling all sorts of kilig! In Master’s Sun, actress Gong Hyo-jin plays Tae Gong-sil, a once-promising student who becomes a recluse when she gains the ability to see ghosts after a near death experience. Her life changes when she meets Joo Joong-won (So Ji-sub), an arrogant and selfish CEO who, for some reason, can make the ghosts around Gong Sil disappear just by touching her.
This prompts Gong-sil to hang on to him for dear life, and of course, the two find themselves falling in love in the midst of dealing with heavy themes like death and confronting the skeletons in their closet. Stream The Master’s Sun now on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!
Hotel Del Luna

Another hit by the Hong Sisters, this drama stars IU as Jang Man-wol, the cursed CEO of Hotel Del Luna, a mystical hotel that welcomes spirits and prepares them for their journey to the afterlife. Due to an unexpected case, she hires a human, Koo Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-goo), to become the hotel’s general manager.
As expected, the two struggle to get along at first (no thanks to Man-wol’s short temper and lavish lifestyle) but eventually become closer with every guest that they manage to help check out. If you love horror and suspense with a dash of humor and romance, then this one is a must-watch. Stream Hotel Del Luna now on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!

Ever met a real estate agent who can successfully sell a haunted house and get rid of its spooky occupants at the same time? That’s Hong Ji-ah (Jang Na-ra) in Sell Your Haunted House for you. During an exorcism, she crosses paths with Oh In-bum (Jung Yong-hwa), a con man with psychic powers. The two work together to unearth a secret about Hong Ji-ah’s past, only to find out that they are more connected than they realize. Stream Sell Your Haunted House now on Viu Premium with PLDT Home!
Lovely Horribly

One gets lucky, while the other suffers. This is the intertwined fate of Oh Eul-soon (Song Ji-hyo) and Yoo Philip (Park Si-hoo) in Lovely Horribly. Eul-soon’s life is a series of misfortunes—she’s a drama writer struggling to make it big, while Philip is a top star who lucked out on richness, talent, and looks.
Because of destiny, the two meet again to write a drama together. Like any rom-com, they start out as enemies before becoming friends and then lovers, all the while trying to figure out why the events in the screenplay they are writing are happening in real life.
