A true "Creepy Love" between Park Eun-bin and Yang Sejong has begun.

In the eighth episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Creepy Love" (directed by Lee Min-soo, written by Choi Jung-mi), which aired on the afternoon of the 9th, Cheon Yeo-ri (played by Park Eun-bin) and Ma Gang-wook (played by Yang Sejong) were shown confirming their feelings for each other with a loving kiss.

The eighth episode recorded national average ratings of 6.2% and a peak of 6.5%, while the Seoul metropolitan area averaged 6.2% with a peak of 6.7%. This set new personal bests in both national and metropolitan areas, maintaining first place in the same time slot across cable and general entertainment channels for eight consecutive episodes. In terms of target demographics (men and women aged 20–49) on tvN, it also ranked first in the same time slot across cable and general entertainment channels in both national and metropolitan areas (based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea).

After Cheon Yeo-ri was once again dragged into controversy due to her cousin Cheon Ha-ri (played by Jo Hye-joo), who had been stalking her, grandmother Baek Gyeong-ja (played by Yeo Su-jeong) urged her to hold an engagement ceremony with Ma Gang-wook as soon as possible. Realizing it was becoming increasingly difficult to manage the situation simply by saying they were engaged, Yeo-ri cautiously brought up the idea that she might have to go through with the engagement ceremony after all.

However, contrary to Yeo-ri's expectation that Gang-wook would find a formal engagement burdensome, he genuinely welcomed the idea of an engagement ceremony. This was because he was determined not only to protect Yeo-ri but also everything she wanted to keep safe. Ma Gang-wook's sincere and honest confession—"I truly love what you love"—stirred excitement not only in Yeo-ri but also among viewers.

As a prospective engaged couple, Cheon Yeo-ri and Ma Gang-wook diligently proceeded through all the necessary steps, from gaining approval from both families' elders to holding a formal meeting between the two families, fully immersing themselves in serious engagement preparations. At one point, Gang-wook suddenly realized he had never eaten a meal alone with Yeo-ri. He then proposed having dinner together and even practiced putting on a ring without touching her hand, planning to make a proper proposal.

However, the event Gang-wook had ambitiously prepared was derailed by an unexpected disaster (?). Because he was so nervous, he ended up holding a box of acupuncture needles instead of a ring case when proposing to Yeo-ri. Expecting a ring deep down, Yeo-ri felt embarrassed and hurriedly left the scene, leaving behind only Gang-wook's sighs over his clumsy mistake, which elicited laughter from viewers.

Meanwhile, haunted by nightmares of a yacht accident, Yeo-ri was overwhelmed with anxiety on the day of the engagement ceremony when she suddenly lost contact with Gang-wook. Kang Min-hwan (played by Ong Seong-woo), who appeared at the engagement venue, insisted that Gang-wook would not show up to the ceremony, just like his former fiancé who had abandoned Yeo-ri on the day she was supposed to be engaged, thereby sending Yeo-ri into a panic.

After finally shaking off Kang Min-hwan and setting out to find Ma Gang-wook, Yeo-ri burst into tears of relief upon seeing him arrive late at the engagement venue. She had been more afraid of not being able to see Gang-wook again than of being engaged to someone else due to ghosts or curses. Encouraged by Gang-wook's promise never to leave her side, Yeo-ri held out a ring and asked, "Will you marry me?" Touched by Yeo-ri's smile, Gang-wook responded with a tender kiss, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating the couple's happy future.

Meanwhile, it was revealed that the person who had donated his heart to Ma Gang-wook was none other than Kang Min-hwan's younger brother and Yeo-ri's friend, Kang Ji-hwan (played by Kim Min-cheol), hinting at their strange connection. Furthermore, as details of the boat accident that changed Yeo-ri's life gradually come to light, curiosity rises about what secrets might be hidden in the boat accident that drove both Yeo-ri and Kang Ji-hwan to the brink of death, leaving audiences eager for future developments.

The ninth episode of "Creepy Love," featuring Park Eun-bin and Yang Sejong as true lovers, will air at 9:10 p.m. on the 15th.
