Anticipation Builds as 'The Heavenly Match' Unveils Unexpected Twists in Episode 9

A storm is brewing for Joy Hyun and Choo Young-woo in 'The Heavenly Match'.

On the 21st, ahead of the 9th episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Heavenly Match', stills were released hinting at the changes in the relationship between Park Seong-ah (played by Joy Hyun) and Bae Gyeon-woo (played by Choo Young-woo) as they struggle to protect each other amidst a crisis.

In the previous episode, Park Seong-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo became each other's human talismans through a binding spell. They successfully trapped the evil spirit Bong-soo (played by Choo Young-woo) within themselves for a day, but unexpected challenges awaited. Yeom-hwa (played by Choo Ja-hyun) decided to send negative energy towards Bae Gyeon-woo to threaten Bong-soo, who refused to possess him. As a result of Yeom-hwa's spell, Bae Gyeon-woo's spiritual eye opened. Even when holding hands with the 'human talisman' Park Seong-ah, Bae Gyeon-woo began to see spirits more clearly. With an important archery competition approaching, the opening of Bae Gyeon-woo's spiritual eye added to the tension and curiosity.

Amidst this, unusual signs observed at the archery competition involving Bae Gyeon-woo and Park Seong-ah pique curiosity. The exchange of glances between them before the match is both thrilling and poignant. Despite Park Seong-ah's sunny encouragement, Bae Gyeon-woo's eyes reflect sadness, and his struggle with the open spiritual eye raises questions about what lies ahead for him. Park Seong-ah's tense expression suggests a significant crisis is looming. On this day, Park Seong-ah even gets hit while trying to fend off the negative energy directed at Bae Gyeon-woo. All eyes are on whether Park Seong-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo can safely complete the archery competition.

The sight of Park Seong-ah suffering from aftereffects also draws attention. The contrast between the gentle hand supporting her and the sharp gaze raises questions about whether it is Bae Gyeon-woo or the evil spirit Bong-soo. Bae Gyeon-woo feeds porridge to the ailing Park Seong-ah, adding a tender thrill to the scene with his worried expression. With Bae Gyeon-woo's spiritual ear now open to hearing ghostly voices, in addition to his spiritual eye, curiosity grows about how the duo will overcome the unforeseen crisis.

The production team of 'The Heavenly Match' stated, “In episode 9, unimaginable changes occur for Park Seong-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo. The choices made by Bae Gyeon-woo with his open spiritual eye, the crisis faced by Park Seong-ah, and the transformation of Bong-soo will unfold intriguingly.”

Episode 9 of 'The Heavenly Match' airs at 8:50 PM today.
