The 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 ratings among the target demographic of 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).
As Cheon Yeo-ri found herself once again embroiled in controversy due to her cousin Cheon Ha-ri (played by Jo Hye-joo), who had been stalking her, grandmother Baek Kyung-ja (played by Yeo Su-jeong) urged her to hold an engagement ceremony with Ma Gang-wook as soon as possible. With the situation becoming increasingly difficult to manage even by claiming they were engaged, Cheon Yeo-ri reluctantly brought up the idea of holding an engagement ceremony with Ma Gang-wook.
However, contrary to Cheon Yeo-ri's expectation that Ma 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 Cheon Yeo-ri but also everything she wished to safeguard. Ma Gang-wook's sincere and honest confession, "I truly love what you love," stirred excitement not only in Cheon Yeo-ri but also among viewers.
As an engaged couple, Cheon Yeo-ri and Ma Gang-wook diligently proceeded through all necessary steps, from obtaining parental approval to meeting each other's families, fully immersing themselves in formal engagement preparations. Meanwhile, Ma Gang-wook suddenly realized he had never eaten a meal alone with Cheon Yeo-ri. He proposed a dinner date to her and even practiced putting on a ring without touching her hand, planning to make a proper proposal.
However, the event Ma Gang-wook had ambitiously prepared was derailed by an unexpected disaster (?). Due to his nervousness, he mistakenly brought a acupuncture needle case instead of a ring box when proposing to Cheon Yeo-ri. Expecting a ring deep down, Cheon Yeo-ri felt embarrassed and hurriedly left the scene, leaving only Ma Gang-wook's sighs over his clumsy mistake behind, which elicited laughter from viewers.
Meanwhile, haunted by nightmares of a yacht accident, Cheon Yeo-ri became overwhelmed with anxiety on the day of the engagement ceremony when she suddenly lost contact with Ma Gang-wook. Kang Min-hwan (played by Ong Seong-woo), who appeared at the engagement venue, insisted that Ma Gang-wook would not show up, comparing him to a former fiancé who had abandoned Cheon Yeo-ri on the day their engagement was broken off, plunging her into panic.
After finally shaking off Kang Min-hwan and searching for Ma Gang-wook, Cheon Yeo-ri shed tears of relief upon seeing him arrive late at the engagement venue. She feared being engaged again due to ghosts or curses more than anything else. Encouraged by Ma Gang-wook's promise never to leave her side, Cheon Yeo-ri held out a ring and asked, "Will you marry me?" Touched by Cheon Yeo-ri's smile, Ma Gang-wook responded with a tender kiss, leaving viewers anticipating their happy future together.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that the person who had donated his heart to Ma Gang-wook was Kang Min-hwan's younger brother and Cheon Yeo-ri's friend, Kang Ji-hwan (played by Kim Min-cheol), hinting at their strange connection. Furthermore, as details surrounding the boat accident that changed Cheon Yeo-ri's life gradually come to light, curiosity rises about what secrets might be hidden in the boat accident that drove both Cheon Yeo-ri and Kang Ji-hwan to the brink of death, setting the stage for future developments.
The ninth episode of 'Creepy Love,' featuring Park Eun-bin and Yang Sejong as true lovers, will air on the night of the 15th at 9:10 PM.
