Jo Yi-hyun, Choo Young-woo, and Cha Kang-yoon begin a grand operation to exorcise the bad luck of their first love.

The production team of tvN new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Gyeonwoo and the Fairy’ (directed by Kim Yong-wan, written by Yang Ji-hoon), which will be aired for the first time on the 23rd, released still cuts on the 18th that foreshadow the dynamic relationship between the Hwamok High School trio Park Sung-ah(played by Jo Yi-hyun), Bae Gyeon-woo(played by Choo Young-woo), and Pyo Ji-ho(played by Cha Kang-yoon).

‘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 prevent it.The story of high school shaman Park Sung-ah who confronts 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 photos released by the production team stimulate curiosity with Park Sung-ah and Pyo Ji-ho hovering around Bae Gyeon-woo.Bae Gyeon-woo, who is the ‘first love’ that brings bad luck, has only 37 days(21 days)left to live.Park Sung-ah, who took on the role of a human talisman to save Bae Gyeon-woo, is said to be carrying out a grand operation to ward off bad luck from the first love.The more she ‘sticks’ to Bae Gyeon-woo, the more effective it becomes, so Park Sung-ah tries not to leave Bae Gyeon-woo’s side even for a moment.Park Sung-ah’s tenacity, as she holds onto the hem of his gym pants, makes us feel her tearful struggle to protect her first love.

Bae Gyeon-woo’s bewildered look at Park Sung-ah’s sudden behavior also catches the eye.Bae Gyeon-woo’s guardedness against Park Sung-ah’s incomprehensible behavior, which not only constantly hovers around him but also crosses the line without warning, hints at the difficult task of exorcising bad luck.Pyo Ji-ho’s reaction, tilting his head in confusion at Park Sung-ah’s unpredictable directness, adds to the laughter.




The way Bae Gyeon-woo senses the suspiciousness of Park Sung-ah and Pyo Ji-ho is also interesting.The contrast between Park Sung-ah fidgeting under Bae Gyeon-woo’s suspicious eyes and Pyo Ji-ho smiling makes people laugh.Will Park Sung-ah be able to successfully overcome Bae Gyeon-woo’s stubborn wall of not giving her any attention and successfully complete the operation to ward off bad luck? Pyo Ji-ho’s activities, which were mobilized to the Bae Gyeon-woo saving project to protect Park Sung-ah, are also raising expectations.

The production team said, “The relationship between human talisman Park Sung-ah, Bae Gyeon-woo who was born with bad luck, and Pyo Ji-ho who joined the operation to exorcise the bad luck of Park Sung-ah’s first love, is interesting.In addition to the salvation story of Park Sung-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo, the relationship between Bae Gyeon-woo and Pyo Ji-ho surrounding Park Sung-ah will also be another point to watch.”

‘The Cowherd and the Fairy’ will first air at 8:50 PM on the 23rd.
