Park Eun-bin and Yang Sejong's "Spooky Romance" has surpassed 7.3% in ratings.

In the 10th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Spooky Romance" (directed by Lee Min-soo, written by Choi Jung-mi), which aired on the night of the 16th, the couple Cheon Ye-ri (played by Park Eun-bin) and Ma Kang-wook (played by Yang Sejong), who were enjoying happiness together, faced a crisis of separation due to ongoing threats.

The 10th episode recorded an average rating of 7.3% nationwide, peaking at 8.2%, and an average of 7.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, peaking at 8.3%. Both nationwide and Seoul metropolitan area ratings set new series highs, securing first place in the same time slot across cable and general entertainment channels for five consecutive weeks. In terms of target demographics (men and women aged 20–49) on tvN, the show also ranked first in the same time slot across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, both nationwide and in the Seoul metropolitan area (based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea).

Cheon Ye-ri, who had traveled to Singapore for a business trip, felt grateful toward Ma Kang-wook, who dropped everything to come to her aid. Although the meeting with the desired investor fell through, she succeeded in persuading Han Se-in (played by Noh Su-san), a key shareholder capable of exerting influence at the shareholders' meeting, thanks to Ma Kang-wook's help. As a result, Cheon Ye-ri barely managed to retain her position as CEO of Reina Hotel.

Following this, the sweet smiles of Cheon Ye-ri and Ma Kang-wook enjoying dates around various parts of Singapore captured attention. The two, wearing gloves, held each other's hands tightly, sharing warmth just as Cheon Ye-ri had dreamed. Especially notable was that Cheon Ye-ri, who usually avoided contact with others, even initiated a hug toward Ma Kang-wook, spending time together like ordinary lovers, momentarily freed from the curse's grip.

In response, Ma Kang-wook told Cheon Ye-ri, "As long as we can be together, it doesn't matter if you see ghosts," summoning the courage to offer his hand. However, unable to bear seeing her loved one in distress, Cheon Ye-ri sadly pushed away his hand. Knowing that this choice was for her own sake, Ma Kang-wook respected her wish and instead conveyed his feelings with a tender kiss, allowing their night to ripen romantically.

After building precious memories in Singapore and returning to Korea, Cheon Ye-ri and Ma Kang-wook faced a new crisis. Kang Min-hwan (played by Ong Seong-woo), enraged at not getting what he wanted, drove the couple into a corner. Kang Min-hwan used his connections to pressure Ma Kang-wook into accepting an overseas posting and framed Cheon Ye-ri with bribery allegations to intimidate her.

To make matters worse, Ma Kang-wook's grandmother, Paeng Myo-soon (played by Cha Mi-kyung), increased the couple's anxiety by forcing a breakup on her grandson because Cheon Ye-ri was born in the Year of the Black Monkey. Despite Ma Kang-wook's plea to "just watch over them nicely," insisting that fortune-telling is merely superstition, Paeng Myo-on firmly declared, "If you two meet, you will die."

Eventually, Paeng Myo-soon visited Cheon Ye-ri and earnestly pleaded with her to break up with Ma Kang-wook. Earlier, Cheon Ye-ri had accidentally overheard suspicious news about Ma Kang-wook's personnel transfer. Upon hearing Paeng Myo-soon mention the traffic accident that had befallen Ma Kang-wook, Cheon Ye-ri recalled her trauma of witnessing someone get hurt or die because of her.

Ultimately, Cheon Ye-ri resolved to protect her lover from the string of misfortunes and met with Ma Kang-wook, saying, "Shall we break up? Let's call off our engagement," leaving viewers heartbroken. Shocked by the unexpected breakup announcement, Ma Kang-wook froze on the spot. This left audiences wondering whether the two, who had always stood by each other through every crisis, would finally let go of each other's hands in the next episode.

The story of Park Eun-bin and Yang Sejong, who faced a sorrowful breakup after experiencing warm happiness, will continue in the 11th episode of "Spooky Romance," airing at 9:10 p.m. on the night of the 22nd.
