tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Spellbound' will air its third episode on July 25, 2024, at 9:10 p.m. Park Eun-bin plays Cheon Yeo-ri, a character cursed to make anyone she touches see ghosts. She strictly maintains a reclusive lifestyle, returning home after sunset to eat and drink alone. However, in this episode, she breaks her usual routine by entering a crowded restaurant, marking an unexpected deviation. Cheon Yeo-ri appears flushed and dazed, as if intoxicated. This scene marks the first time she has stepped out of her daily routine, though the reason remains unknown.

Chae Yeo-ri's collaboration with Ma Kang-wook

Chae Yeo-ri gradually grows closer to Ma Kang-wook (played by Yang Se-jong) through their collaboration. The two repeatedly encounter each other at locations where corpses are discovered. At the end of the previous episode, they were seen in a shocking ending, having fallen into the sea below a cliff and spotting another body underwater. In the third episode, at the scene of the incident, Ma Kang-wook is focused on managing the accident, while Cheon Yeo-ri, wrapped in a blanket with her wet body, stares intently at an unfamiliar mobile phone screen. The phone is believed to belong to a deceased person, raising questions about the secrets hidden within. Ma Kang-wook shows delicate care by offering her warm drinks to prevent her body temperature from dropping. Earlier, when they discovered a corpse, Ma Kang-wook also shielded Cheon Yeo-ri's eyes from the sight, revealing his gentle side.
