Catching Up: What Happened in Episodes 3 and 4
Episode 3 saw police recover a body after Yeo Ri and Gang Uk fell into the sea, revealing through flashback that the victim had been pushed. Yeo Ri’s grandmother also gave her an ultimatum: marry Min Hwan within two months or risk the family inheritance, while Gang Uk was pulled off his active case. A tipsy Yeo Ri later let her guard down at a bar, removing her gloves in front of Gang Uk — a moment with real consequences given her ability to see ghosts.
Episode 4 built on that connection, with the pair guided by a child spirit to rescue a missing girl. Yeo Ri also revealed the origin of her powers, tracing back to a college yacht accident, and explained that her ability can temporarily transfer to anyone she touches. By the episode’s end, a new female ghost had begun following Gang Uk.
What’s Coming in Episodes 5 and 6
The new preview shows the fallout escalating fast. Reporters swarm the Raina Hotel following reports that Gang Uk may be dead, thrusting Yeo Ri into the media spotlight as Min Hwan steps in to shield her. Dating rumors begin swirling between Yeo Ri and Min Hwan after the two are spotted together at a public event, all while Gang Uk’s actual status remains unconfirmed.
Tensions also boil over between the show’s central trio: a jealous Ha Ri confronts Yeo Ri directly, then goes to Min Hwan and reveals Yeo Ri’s ability to see ghosts — information he reportedly receives without much visible reaction. The preview closes with Yeo Ri rushing toward a scene where she encounters a mysterious new man, teasing yet another twist heading into the episodes.

Why Fans Are Hooked
Balancing horror-tinged jump scares with rom-com chemistry is a tricky formula, but “Spooky in Love” has leaned into it fully — pairing a cold case murder mystery with a slow-building romance. With Gang Uk’s status left hanging and a new mystery man now in the picture, Episodes 5 and 6 look set to raise the stakes even further.
