In the 9th episode of 'Possessed Love 2' aired on the 22nd, the unveiling of fate cards and the dates that followed caused a storm of tension among the love-struck participants.
The 'Blue Rooster' fate card chosen by fortune teller Jung Hyun-woo, the 'White Monkey' by fortune tellers Lee Ra-yoon and Lee Kang-won, the 'Black Cow' by fortune tellers Hong Yu-ra and Ha Byung-yeol, the 'Red Rabbit' by Ha Byung-yeol and Yoon Sang-hyuk, the 'Golden Dragon' by astrologer Kim Yoon-jung and fortune teller Chae Yu-kyung, and the 'Black Monkey' by fortune teller Jang Ho-am were revealed. Consequently, Chae Yu-kyung and Kim Yoon-jung enjoyed dates with Yoon Sang-hyuk, Hong Yu-ra with Ha Byung-yeol, and Lee Kyung-eon with Jung Hyun-woo.
As if echoing Shin Dong-yup's words, "Could another twist happen? They might follow the path ordained by the spirits," Chae Yu-kyung and Yoon Sang-hyuk quickly fell for each other, forming an uncontrollable love line that captivated the viewers. Especially, Chae Yu-kyung expressed her concerns about being irresistibly drawn to someone before the date, saying, "Even 30 minutes together might be dangerous. I'm worried I might fall too hard," and "If I push forward with all my conviction, we might both get swept away."
As expected, Chae Yu-kyung and Yoon Sang-hyuk quickly grew closer, creating a tension-filled atmosphere akin to a volcano on the verge of eruption. Observing through VCR, Yu Seon-ho commented, "Dopamine is just flooding out. In my opinion, the game's over here," Gabi said, "This is the most thrilling date I've seen so far," and Yu In-na noted, "You could see both of them getting drawn into each other in such a short time."
Particularly, conversations between the two about previous relationships and uncertainties flipped the script entirely, keeping the love line unpredictable until the end. Ultimately, Chae Yu-kyung confessed, "I understand why the gods have ordained this connection. Our ways of thinking and concluding are so similar, and it's truly enjoyable to be together," revealing her deep feelings for 'fate-ordained' Yoon Sang-hyuk, surprising everyone. Even the fortune teller Park Sung-jun commented, "It's natural to be swayed when heart and fate align," sparking curiosity about how the fate card date would influence their final choice.
Meanwhile, Kim Yoon-jung chose to follow her heart over fate. She confessed to Jang Ho-am, who was left alone in the house, "I lied because I wanted to eat with you and talk. I think I wanted to create time to get closer." Their secret date led Kim Yoon-jung to hope, "I hoped my feelings would seep into Ho-am's heart during the date. I wish he felt the same. Honestly, I was a bit greedy," revealing her growing feelings, and the MCs supported her bold move.
The episode ended with a truth game, heightening the suspense with an unpredictable twist. Yoon Sang-hyuk struggled to answer Chae Yu-kyung's question about who he was most attracted to, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats for the final episode.
Caught between inescapable fate and instinctual attraction, the intricate romance of young fortune tellers in 'Possessed Love 2' promises an electrifying finale on the 29th at 10:20 PM.
