The ghost-hunting duo of Spooky in Love just got a glove-and-touch problem turned into one of the show’s most romantic sequences yet — and new stills are teasing exactly how far they’re willing to go for each other.
What’s Coming Up for Spooky in Love?
In the previous episode, Cheon Yeo Ri traveled alone to Singapore to secure company shares ahead of a vote to remove her as CEO. The episode ended with Ma Gang Wook surprising her by rushing to her side to help her out of the crisis — setting up the romantic turn newly teased stills reveal.
The catch, of course, is Yeo Ri’s supernatural ability: touching someone risks transferring her power to see ghosts. Ever resourceful, Gang Wook comes up with a clever workaround, wearing gloves so he can hold her hand freely, putting a wide smile on her face. Later, despite the risk, the pair boldly take their gloves off to share a meal together outside — and the gloves stay off that night as Gang Wook leans in for a kiss in Yeo Ri’s hotel room.
