‘Gyeonwoo and the Fairy’ is a bold first love salvation romance of eighteen youths between a boy with a destiny to die and MZ shaman girl who tries to stop it.It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name.The story of high school shaman Park Sung-ah who fights against destiny for her first love and Bae Gyeon-woo who reverses destiny through the ordinary happiness she opens up is expected to provide fresh excitement.In addition, the episodes of K -ghosts with various stories as well as personalities add a different kind of fun.


The main trailer released by the production team starts with Park Sung-ah getting really excited over Bae Gyeon-woo pulling the bowstring toward the target.As soon as the fairy Park Sung-ah says, “People who walk backwards are people who will die soon because of bad luck,” Bae Gyeon-woo walks backwards into the temple.Park Sung-ah, who foresees an ominous future for her first love, rushes to save Bae Gyeon-woo.Bae Gyeon-woo, who brings bad luck, has only 37 days(21 days)left to live.Park Sung-ah’s determination to “save you” is fierce.

Park Sung-ah’s ambitious plan to save Bae Gyeon-woo and open the door to love is not easy from the start.Park Sung-ah chases away the water ghost that has possessed Bae Gyeon-woo and gives him a water shower as a gift, and then suddenly rushes into his arms to save him from a sign falling on his head.His reckless forward movement, not even hesitating from hot flames, flusters Bae Gyeon-woo.Bae Gyeon-woo, who has no idea that Park Sung-ah is a shaman, asks, “What are you doing?” , giving us an idea of Park Sung-ah’s difficult plan to exorcise her misfortune.


Despite Bae Gyeon-woo’s iron wall, ‘human talisman’ Park Sung-ah’s straight-forwardness continues.Park Sung-ah’s cheat key to exorcising bad luck is none other than herself, becoming a ‘human talisman’ that protects Bae Gyeon-woo from bad luck.The more she ‘sticks’ to him, the more effective the warding off becomes, so she grabs Bae Gyeon-woo’s hand without hesitation and rushes into his arms.Park Sung-ah’s bold confession, “I don’t want to fool you either.What do you want to do with you? Love is all I want,” brings about a change in Bae Gyeon-woo, who had been reluctant to leave her side.The voice saying, “The beginning of first love,” following Park Sung-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo’s exciting eye contact, makes us anticipate even more the first love salvation romance that will change fate.
