Proposal Gone Wrong? Yang Se jong’s Romantic Surprise Hits a Bump in Spooky in Love Episode 8

The line between fake and real romance is officially blurring on tvN’s weekend occult rom-com Spooky in Love! In Episode 8 airing tonight (August 9), Ma Kang wook (played by Yang Se jong) sets out to give Cheon Yeo ri (Park Eun bin) an unforgettable day by planning a formal proposal—only to get hit with an unexpected, chaotic twist.

From Fake Engagement to Real Feelings

What began as an emergency cover-up to protect Yeo ri from an unwanted forced marriage has slowly evolved into genuine attraction. As Yeo ri and Kang wook continue playing the part of a deeply devoted couple to fool their families, the fake affection is turning into real heart-fluttering chemistry.

Recognizing that their fake engagement needs to look completely authentic to skeptical onlookers—and perhaps driven by his growing inner feelings—Kang wook decides it’s time to stage a grand, official proposal event for Yeo ri.

The Romantic Setup Takes a Surprising Turn

Newly released stills capture the high-stakes proposal attempt:

• The Dapper Gentleman: Dressed impeccably with a gentle smile, Kang wook greets Yeo ri before pulling out a ring box with a remarkably determined expression.
• Sweet Romantic Sparks: Yeo ri sits comfortably with Kang wook’s jacket draped over her lap, looking up at him with a warm, excited smile.

However, the romantic mood takes an abrupt hit the moment Kang wook opens the ring box. Instead of overjoyed tears, Yeo ri’s face suddenly freezes into a look of complete shock and perplexity!

Will Kang wook’s Proposal Succeed?

What could possibly be inside the ring box to cause such an awkward reaction? Did a rogue spirit interfere with Kang wook’s plans, or did the wrong item end up inside the box?

Find out if Kang wook can salvage his grand gesture in Episode 8 of Spooky in Love, airing tonight, August 9 at 9:10 PM KST on tvN!
