Dokkaebi Captivation
It had been five years since In Ho’s grandmother moved to the city to live with his parents. With his university vacation around the corner, In Ho decides to visit and look after his grandmother's long-abandoned countryside…
After five long years, university student In Ho returns to his grandmother's abandoned countryside home, expecting nothing more than a quiet vacation. But the house holds a secret—a playful, ancient dokkaebi (goblin) who has been bound to the property, waiting for someone worthy of its magic. As In Ho clears away dust and memories, he accidentally awakens the supernatural being, sparking an unlikely bond that blurs the line between folklore and romance. The dokkaebi, curious about the modern world and drawn to In Ho's gentle soul, begins to reveal glimpses of a forgotten past—and a mysterious curse that threatens to separate them. Part whimsical fantasy, part tender love story, 'Dokkaebi Captivation' weaves Korean mythology with a slow-burn queer romance, exploring themes of loneliness, belonging, and the courage to love beyond the ordinary. With breathtaking rural scenery and a heartwarming dynamic between a cautious human and an otherworldly spirit, this series promises a fresh, emotionally resonant take on the supernatural BL genre.
