Kang Chul and Yeori are currently under an unexpected ban from physical contact. After Yeori, with the help of Monk Gaseop (Lee Won Jong), manages to recover the Gyeonggwiseok (a stone that wards off evil spirits) she had lost, Kang Chul—being a supernatural being—finds himself unable to even touch Yeori’s fingertips.

Amidst this situation, the newly released stills capture a romantic moment between Kang Chul and Yeori. Kang Chul is seen embracing Yeori by the waist on a moonlit street. The look in Kang Chul’s eyes as he gazes at Yeori is filled with both excitement and confusion, raising curiosity about what will happen between the two.

On the other hand, Yeori is staring intently at Kang Chul with a tense facial expression. As if she has made up her mind about something, Yeori suddenly grabs onto Kang Chul’s sleeve. Viewers are left on edge as the couple, who has just begun their romance, is forced into an unexpected and ironic separation.
