SBS entertainment show 'Possessed Love 2' features 10 MZ fortune tellers ensnared in complicated threads of fate, plunging the possessed house into chaos once again. A dopamine party unfolded, characterized by the fierce competition over romantic connections, explosive jealousy, and relatable real-life concerns.
In the 8th episode of 'Possessed Love 2' (directed by Lee Eun-sol), which aired on the 15th, a love talisman date was held based on secret nominations by five male fortune tellers. The male fortune tellers privately selected who they wanted to date, engaging in intense mind games reminiscent of espionage, ultimately leading to the delivery of love talismans. Consequently, fortune teller Jang Ho-am and Sa Ju Ha Byeong-yeol nominated fortune teller Chae Yu-gyeong, fortune teller Jeong Hyun-woo nominated astrologer Kim Yun-jung, fortune teller Lee Kang-won nominated fortune teller Yi Ra-yoon, and tarot reader Yoon Sang-hyuk nominated Sa Ju Lee Gyeong-eon for dates, while Sa Ju Hong Yu-ra once again became a dating dropout and remained in the possessed house.
Unexpected choices and moments filled with tension unfolded, providing the audience with unique entertainment, especially as a five-way relationship formed around Jang Ho-am, Ha Byeong-yeol, Jeong Hyun-woo, Chae Yu-gyeong, and Kim Yun-jung, sparking a grand chaos of warfare.
Above all, Ha Byeong-yeol's bulldozer-like advance toward love was a series of surprises, while Chae Yu-gyeong noted, "Today feels different. I've been more expressive today, perhaps?" at Ha Byeong-yeol's changes. In response, Ha Byeong-yeol stunned everyone with his possessed flirting, stating, "I don’t want to regret or miss out. I want to focus on you for the remaining time," and when asked if he had considered fortune teller Chae Yu-gyeong, he replied, "That's something I need to handle. I don’t want to instill worry or anxiety on that front." Notably, Ha Byeong-yeol expressed his affection directly, saying, "I wonder if dating a fortune teller could be easy, but I still want to try well. I’ve hesitated and pondered in the past, but now that I’ve made up my mind, I will only think of how to make it work and do my best. I don't want to miss out. (For that, you're just too) beautiful."
Later, Chae Yu-gyeong went on a second date with Jang Ho-am. During this process, Jang Ho-am expressed concern over whether Chae Yu-gyeong was uncomfortable with him openly sharing his feelings, stating, "I think I told you everything honestly, like 'I like you.' I went all in for you, Yu-gyeong. I have no regrets and hope you would come to me." This unwavering love elicited sympathy for him. Chae Yu-gyeong, in response, conveyed her gratitude to the 'precious relationship' with Jang Ho-am, sharing, "It feels more divine than logical feelings. My heart aches and feels apologetic; it seems several emotions coexist."
Amidst this, Kim Yun-jung awakened her love for Jang Ho-am and became overly invested. Since coming to the possessed house, Kim Yun-jung learned how to express herself and said, "I think it’s the first time I’ve been this honest in front of so many people," and continued, "When I thought, 'Let me consider my true feelings,' it still seems like my feelings for Ho-am are significant. It feels embarrassing; I’ve never recognized feeling good just by focusing on my heart like this in my life, so I’m a bit taken aback right now," as she candidly shared her growing affection and fluttering excitement for Jang Ho-am, surprising everyone.
Ultimately, in an interview with the production team, Kim Yun-jung mentioned, "It's just nice to keep looking at Ho-am. No matter how the other party is, I think being honest with myself and getting zero votes while everyone else is conflicting feels honorable and cooler." Upon returning to the possessed house, she couldn't help but declare, "I want to see Ho-am," unrestrainedly revealing her feelings for Jang Ho-am, leaving everyone astonished. Viewing this, Yu In-na said, "Today's harvest was Yun-jung," expressing her excitement, while Gabi cheerfully remarked on the "great harvest," indicating a new turning point in their relationship.
Meanwhile, Yoon Sang-hyuk and Lee Gyeong-eon made unforgettable memories during their horseback riding date and campfire, sharing special moments together. In this process, Lee Gyeong-eon remarked, "I was trying to achieve perfection, but it didn't seem perfect in my eyes, which was funny and cute." She added, "I definitely felt it today. If I don’t have a date tomorrow, I think I’ll feel regret," illustrating her deep infatuation with Yoon Sang-hyuk's enchanting charm, making even the audience smile. Alongside this, Lee Kang-won and Yi Ra-yoon presented bizarre and mysterious moments during their prayer date, with Yi Ra-yoon confessing to Lee Kang-won, "It was touching," showcasing their evolving relationship and chemistry, enhancing the thrill factor.
Meanwhile, as the time approached for the reveal of the destiny cards, an epilogue captured a two-shot of Chae Yu-gyeong with 'golden dragon' Yoon Sang-hyuk, whom the deity had destined for her, igniting a dopamine explosion among viewers. Astrology expert Park Seong-jun explained the compatibility between the golden dragon and the black monkey, saying, "It’s a compatibility that can draw you in without reservation when you meet," predicting major fluctuations in romantic relationships. It raised curiosity about whether the 10 MZ fortune tellers could maintain their hearts even after learning their destinies as the next episode approaches.
Following the 8th episode of 'Possessed Love 2’, various reactions emerged on social media and community sites, including comments like, "Today, the dopamine explodes again. The love talisman lines are no joke," "This season is so eventful and filled with bittersweet moments that many people are caught in their feelings," "I hope Ho-am and Yun-jung do well. They seem to match well," "Ho-am seems like a good person. His heart is so warm," "I’m already curious about Choi-keo," and "I wonder what it would have been like if the golden dragon and Yu-gyeong had a date once."
