tvN’s Spooky in Love reached a new ratings high as Park Eun Bin and Yang Se Jong’s romance took an emotional turn.
According to Nielsen Korea, Episode 10, which aired on August 16, recorded an average nationwide rating of 7.3% and peaked at 8.2%. In the Seoul metropolitan area, the episode also averaged 7.3% and reached a peak of 8.3%.
The drama set a new personal best in both nationwide and metropolitan ratings while maintaining first place in its time slot among cable and general programming channels for the fifth consecutive week.
It also ranked first in its time slot among viewers aged 20 to 49 across all channels, including public broadcasters.
The episode followed Cheon Yeo Ri, played by Park Eun Bin, and Ma Kang Wook, played by Yang Se Jong, after their romantic time together in Singapore.
Kang Wook had traveled overseas to help Yeo Ri during an important business challenge. With his support, she was able to make progress in protecting her position at Reina Hotel.
The couple also enjoyed several sweet moments together, including walking hand in hand while wearing gloves and spending time together like an ordinary couple.
Kang Wook told Yeo Ri that he was willing to accept the risks surrounding their relationship as long as they could stay together.
However, Yeo Ri became increasingly worried about his safety after new problems began affecting both of them.
The situation became even more serious when Kang Wook’s grandmother strongly opposed their relationship and warned Yeo Ri that staying together could put him in danger.
Remembering previous painful experiences and fearing that Kang Wook could be hurt because of her, Yeo Ri eventually decided to push him away.
In the closing moments, she met Kang Wook and said, “Should we break up? Let’s call off the engagement.”
Kang Wook was left stunned by the unexpected decision, creating a major turning point for the couple.
With its nationwide peak of 8.2% and a new personal ratings record, Spooky in Love continues to gain momentum as Park Eun Bin and Yang Se Jong’s relationship faces its biggest challenge yet.
