In the 8th episode of SBS's 'Possessed Love 2,' which aired on the 15th, a secretive love charm date was held, driven by the secret choices of five male fortune tellers.
The male fortune tellers secretly chose their desired dates, engaging in a fierce game of espionage-like tactics to deliver their love charms. As a result, Shaman Jang Ho-am and Saju Ha Byung-yeol chose Shaman Chae Yoo-kyung, Shaman Jung Hyun-woo picked Astrologer Kim Yoon-jung, Shaman Lee Kang-won selected Shaman Lee Ra-yoon, and Tarot Reader Yoon Sang-hyuk asked Saju Lee Kyung-eon out. Meanwhile, Saju Hong Yoo-ra was left behind at the Possessed House for the second week in a row.
Unexpected choices and tense moments provided viewers with a unique thrill, especially as a chaotic love pentagon formed around Jang Ho-am, Ha Byung-yeol, Jung Hyun-woo, Chae Yoo-kyung, and Kim Yoon-jung.
Ha Byung-yeol's straightforward approach to love was a series of surprises, and Chae Yoo-kyung was amazed by his transformation, saying, "It's different from yesterday. Today, he's more expressive." Ha Byung-yeol's bold flirting, saying, "I don't want to regret or miss out. I want to focus on you for the remaining time," left everyone stunned. When asked about his thoughts on dating a shaman, he replied, "That's something I need to handle. I don't want to instill worry or insecurity." He expressed his genuine feelings, saying, "Dating a shaman might not be easy, but I want to try. I've had moments of hesitation, but now that I've made up my mind, I want to focus on making it work. You're too precious to let go."
Later, Chae Yoo-kyung went on a second date with Jang Ho-am. During this time, Jang Ho-am worried if his honest confession made her uncomfortable, but he remained steadfast, saying, "I told you I like you. I've committed to you, Yoo-kyung. I hope you come to me." Chae Yoo-kyung expressed her gratitude, saying, "It's more of a spiritual connection than a romantic one. I feel a mix of emotions, including gratitude and a bit of heartache."
Meanwhile, Kim Yoon-jung's realization of her feelings for Jang Ho-am added a new layer of intensity. She admitted, "I've never been this honest in front of so many people. When I thought about my true feelings, I realized my heart is with Ho-am. It's the first time I've acknowledged my feelings so openly, and it's a bit overwhelming." Her candid confession surprised everyone.
In an interview with the production team, Kim Yoon-jung said, "I just enjoy looking at Ho-am. Regardless of how things turn out, being honest with myself feels more confident and admirable." Upon returning to the Possessed House, she boldly declared, "I want to see Ho-am," shocking everyone. Yoo In-na, observing this, remarked, "Today's highlight is Yoon-jung," while Gabi cheered, calling it a "big win," signaling a new turning point in their relationship.
Elsewhere, Yoon Sang-hyuk and Lee Kyung-eon shared unforgettable moments during a horseback riding date and a campfire, creating special memories together. Lee Kyung-eon found Yoon Sang-hyuk's efforts endearing, saying, "He tried to be perfect, but it was cute because it wasn't. I realized today that I'd miss not having a date tomorrow," capturing viewers' hearts with their romantic moments.
Additionally, Lee Kang-won and Lee Ra-yoon's prayer site date showcased a unique and mystical experience. Lee Ra-yoon confessed to Lee Kang-won, "It was touching," highlighting their deepening connection and chemistry, raising the excitement level.
As the time for revealing the fate cards approached, the epilogue showed Chae Yoo-kyung alone in a car with her destined match, the 'Golden Dragon' Yoon Sang-hyuk, sparking viewers' dopamine levels. Fortune teller Park Sung-joon explained the compatibility between the Golden Dragon and the Black Monkey, saying, "It's a match that can be irresistibly drawn to each other," hinting at a major shift in the love lines. The question remains whether the 10 young fortune tellers can stay true to their hearts despite knowing their fates, heightening anticipation for the next episode.
