Spoiler warning: This article reveals the ending of Spooky in Love on Max, including the outcome of Yeo-ri’s coma, the identity of Kang-wook’s heart donor, and the criminal case involving Kang Min-hwan.
The finale of Spooky in Love resolves the threats facing the protagonists and clears up the mysteries surrounding Kang Ji-hwan’s past. The story focuses on the characters’ physical recovery and a direct plan to expose the crimes within the CL Group’s leadership.
The series brings its main conflicts to a close by resolving both the legal and medical storylines, leaving no major loose ends.
The truth about Kang-wook’s heart
The final stretch begins with a medical crisis. Cheon Yeo-ri suffers severe injuries while protecting Ma Kang-wook and falls into a coma. While accompanying her to the hospital, Kang-wook loses consciousness.
The series confirms that his collapse was caused by hyperventilation brought on by extreme stress, rather than a problem with his transplanted heart. He simply needs rest to prevent arrhythmia.
During this time, the great mystery surrounding Kang-wook is finally solved. Through a conversation with his grandmother, Paeng Myo-soon, he discovers that his heart donor was Kang Ji-hwan, Yeo-ri’s former connection.
After learning the truth, Kang-wook visits Ji-hwan’s grave, returns the pendant that belonged to Yeo-ri, and expresses his gratitude for the extra time he was given, asking Ji-hwan to help her wake up from her coma.
Yeo-ri’s coma and her return
While she is unconscious, the story shows Yeo-ri meeting the ghosts she helped throughout the series. This sequence culminates in an encounter with the spirit of Kang Ji-hwan. She expresses guilt over surviving when he did not, but Ji-hwan explains that her survival was what he wanted, encouraging her to return to the people waiting for her.
The drama then brings her coma to an end. After Yeo-ri wakes up, Kang-wook tells her the truth about her heart donor.
The downfall of Kang Min-hwan
The antagonist’s downfall unfolds through a carefully planned strategy. After regaining consciousness, Yeo-ri decides to keep her recovery a secret for the time being. This allows her to catch Kang Min-hwan off guard while monitoring the police investigation and gathering definitive evidence.
Believing he has won, Kang Min-hwan organizes a memorial service for Ji-hwan, where the future of the CL Group is set to be decided.
The climax comes when Yeo-ri interrupts the ceremony and publicly plays a video recorded by Ji-hwan in the past. The footage shows Kang Min-hwan intentionally letting go of Ji-hwan’s hand on the yacht.
With the evidence revealed in front of everyone, Kang Min-hwan is arrested by the authorities and officially faces charges for the murder of Park Seung-jae and his other crimes.
The couple’s fate
The story concludes by confirming the couple’s stability. With both the legal and physical threats behind them, the final sequence establishes that Cheon Yeo-ri and Ma Kang-wook remain together, securing the future of their relationship without any further obstacles.
