Get ready for a thrilling ride as tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Spooky in Love’ pulls lead stars Park Eun Bin and Yang Se Jong into an undeniable, eerie romance! Their characters’ unexpected connection is set to deepen even further as episode 3 airs on July 25, 2026.
Directed by the talented Lee Min Soo and penned by the brilliant Choi Jung Mi, ‘Spooky in Love’ has viewers on the edge of their seats, following the intriguing journey of Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin) and Ma Kang Wook (Yang Se Jong). These two are practically fated to cross paths, especially at the most unexpected places: crime scenes!
A Chaotic First Encounter
Their initial encounter was anything but sweet. Late one night in a deserted mountain area, Cheon Yeo Ri stumbled upon a body after hearing a chilling testimony from a dead victim. Ma Kang Wook, ever the meticulous investigator, arrived at the same location, meticulously tracing evidence. However, their first meeting quickly descended into chaos as they hilariously (and tensely!) mistook each other for the killer. This sharp first impression, complete with a physical struggle, set a unique tone for their burgeoning relationship, far from your typical romantic comedy meet-cute.
Uncanny Coincidences and Growing Teamwork
But destiny, or perhaps something more ‘spooky’, had other plans. Their connection proved to be far from a one-off. The duo soon reunited while delving into the grim robbery-murder of a taxi driver. Their paths then crossed yet again during a high-profile case involving professional golfer Park Seung Jae (played by the charismatic Kim Do Wan) and victim Jang Eun Joo (portrayed by the compelling Yoon Hye Rim). Though their initial teamwork was purely accidental, driven by circumstance, they quickly found themselves a surprisingly effective pair, working together to unravel these complex mysteries.
Jeju Island’s Fated Twist
The series of uncanny coincidences didn’t stop there. The pair’s unusual timing followed them all the way to picturesque Jeju Island. Cheon Yeo Ri was there on a business trip, while Ma Kang Wook was attending a friend’s wedding. Yet, against all odds, they found themselves not just at the same hotel, but in the same room, and remarkably, at the same place again! These recurring, almost supernatural encounters strongly hint at a powerful bond that neither character can easily escape, whether they want to or not.
Evolving Hearts: Cheon Yeo Ri and Ma Kang Wook’s Dynamic
As these ‘spooky’ meetings continue to pile up, we’re seeing fascinating shifts in both characters. Cheon Yeo Ri, known for her guarded nature and tendency to keep others at a distance, is surprisingly making the first move, actively approaching Ma Kang Wook. Meanwhile, Ma Kang Wook, despite his deep-seated fear of ghosts, is bravely throwing himself into dangerous situations for her sake. This push and pull, this evolving dynamic, promises even more intrigue and heart as ‘Spooky in Love’ continues to unfold.
Make sure to mark your calendars! Episode 3 of ‘Spooky in Love’ airs on July 25, 2026 at 9:10 PM. Don’t miss out on what promises to be another thrilling installment of this unique spooky romance!
