Yang Se Jong is drawing attention for his calm and dependable romance in tvN’s Spooky in Love, where his character continues to show his feelings through actions rather than words.
In the drama, Yang Se Jong plays Ma Kang Wook, a man who consistently stays beside Cheon Yeo Ri, played by Park Eun Bin, as she faces a series of complicated situations.
Rather than stepping away when things become difficult, Ma Kang Wook continues to support Yeo Ri with the same steady attitude. Even after resolving his own personal concerns, he remains focused on helping her through the challenges around her.
His straightforward feelings become especially clear when Yeo Ri worries that their situation may be too much for him.
Ma Kang Wook simply replies, “I actually like it even more.”
The line highlights his confident approach to love, as he does not hide his feelings or make Yeo Ri question where he stands.
Yang Se Jong’s restrained acting has also helped shape the character’s appeal. Through a gentle tone, subtle facial expressions, and calm reactions to Park Eun Bin’s emotional scenes, he presents Ma Kang Wook as a reliable and emotionally steady partner.
As the romance develops, his character continues to build trust through consistent actions while becoming more certain about his feelings for Yeo Ri.
Yang Se Jong’s portrayal has helped establish Ma Kang Wook as one of the drama’s standout “steady boyfriend” characters, adding warmth to his growing romance with Park Eun Bin.
Spooky in Love airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. KST on tvN.
