The tvN occult romance drama Spooky in Love is moving toward its final episodes. With only a few chapters left, viewers are waiting to see how the story of Cheon Yeo-ri and Ma Gang-wook will progress. The show has followed a steady weekly release pattern, and episodes 9 and 10 are scheduled to arrive soon.
Episode 8 aired on August 9, 2026, and left several storylines hanging. The upcoming episodes will continue the romantic and mystery elements that have defined the series so far.
Release Date and Time for Episodes 9 and 10
Spooky in Love episodes 9 and 10 will release on August 15 and August 16, 2026. The show airs at 9:10 pm KST on tvN in South Korea. International audiences can watch the same episodes on Netflix at roughly the same time.
Each episode runs for about 70 minutes. The K-drama has a total of 12 episodes, which means the finale is set for August 23, 2026. The series follows a consistent schedule of releasing two new episodes every weekend—one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
What Happened in Episode 8
Episode 8 of Spooky in Love moved the story forward in several ways. Gang-uk helped Yeo-ri avoid Ha-ri, while the police found Si-u’s body and arrested his twin brother. Ha-ri started suspecting that Yeo-ri could see ghosts, and Gye-hee used a photo of Yeo-ri near the body to push for her removal as Reina’s CEO.
Chairwoman Baek urged Yeo-ri to get engaged to Gang-uk quickly to protect her position at the hotel. Gang-uk agreed and admitted his true feelings for Yeo-ri. The two families later met for dinner and promised to support the couple’s careers.
Gang-uk tried to propose, but the moment did not go as planned. Yeo-ri expected a ring, but he pulled out needles instead. He later admitted he had genuinely planned to propose. Min-hwan also confessed his love, but Yeo-ri rejected him.
Gang-uk refused to join corrupt prosecutors and reported them, which created more trouble involving Reina’s shares. Chairwoman Baek collapsed and asked Yeo-ri to marry Gang-uk to secure her CEO position. The engagement day arrived, and Yeo-ri feared Gang-uk might abandon her. Min-hwan revealed that he knew about her secret, but she still chose Gang-uk. Gang-uk arrived, and the two kissed after expressing their feelings.
The Story So Far
Spooky in Love is a remake of the 2011 film Spellbound (also known as Chilling Romance). The drama follows Cheon Yeo-ri, a hotel heiress who can see and communicate with ghosts. She helps spirits resolve their unfinished business so they can move on. However, if she touches another person, they inherit her ability, so she avoids physical contact by always wearing gloves.
Ma Gang-wook is a passionate prosecutor who is terrified of ghosts. The two meet through a series of incidents connected to murder investigations. Gang-wook discovers that Yeo-ri’s supernatural ability can help solve crimes in ways ordinary investigations cannot.
The show blends romance, mystery, and the occult. Yeo-ri has opened her heart to Gang-uk because he accepted her despite her ability to see ghosts and his own fear of them. But their path forward is not simple. Min-hwan and Ha-ri may team up to create more problems for the couple.
