What happens when Kang-wook and Yeo-ri find the corpse that drowned in the ocean?

The corpse belonged to a girl whose designs were stolen by a famous fashion designer. When a conflict arose between them, the culprit pushed the girl off a cliff and killed her. She was caught thanks to Yeo-ri and Kang-wook. However, when Kang-wook again asked Yeo-ri how she knew where the body was, she again deflected him.

Why was Min-hwan so in love with Yeo-ri?

We get to see that the reason Min-hwan loved Yeo-riwas because when he was young, she was the only one who supported him. When they were high school students, Min-hwan got to know that he was adopted. At that time, rather than pitying him, Yeo-ri helped him out by being there for him. Most likely, from then on, he developed a crush on her. It is also shown that Yeo-ri’s grandmother supports his crush as well. She even later told Yeo-ri to consider Min-hwan as a possible husband candidate in the future. Yeo-ri was not at all happy with such an outcome, as she only saw Min-hwan as a friend.

Did Yeo-ri ever do anything to not see ghosts anymore?

Apparently, many shamans were brought to cure Yeo-ri of having that ability. Even though she told her grandmother that she was fine, she was still seeing ghosts, and she did not reveal that fact to anyone else. Thus, she effectively tried to suffer alone.

What happens after Yeo-ri goes to drink?

Yeo-ri goes out to get drunk on her own, and there she meets Kang-wook with his colleagues. Yeo-ri was too drunk to understand what she was doing, and that is why she ended up drinking with Kang-wook and his company. On top of that, she also removed her gloves that protected others from her curse. A hilarious sequence happens here as we see Yeo-ri ripping Kang-wook’s shirt apart.

Not only that, but she also held his hands, and he’s the one who took her home. This was something that completely slipped out of Yeo-ri’s mind. She gifts a shirt to Kang-wook, who then brings it to her home to return it. That is when she realises what she had done, and she urges him to come inside.

Does Kang-wook also start seeing hosts?

Yes, when he goes to Yeo-ri’s house, he sees a boy who was a ghost. From there, he becomes someone similar to Yeo-ri. However, at that point in time, he did not realise that. Later, when he goes to his house, the boy ghost comes with him, and that is when his fate completely changes.

What happens when Kang-wook finally realises he too can see ghosts?

Kang-wook does not take this information very well, and he becomes extremely scared. Yeo-ri also comes to his house to help him out. This segment was absolutely hilarious as Kang-wook’s antics were very entertaining to witness.

What what what did not work?

This episode was a noticeable improvement, thanks to its well-timed comedy. On top of that, Kang-wook and Yeo-ri’s chemistry became much more effective. With each episode, the series is becoming more engaging, and I’m definitely more invested in it.
