● Possessed chemistry

According to the production team, the flawless synergy between Jo Yi-hyun, Choo Young-woo, Cha Kang-yoon, and Choo Ja-hyun is the best point to watch.Jo Yi-hyun transforms into ‘Park Sung-ah’, who becomes a human talisman and embarks on a grand operation to ward off misfortune in order to save her ‘first love’ Bae Gyeon-woo.Jo Yi-hyun said, “There are many scenes that will capture the attention of viewers, such as ‘Seonnyeo Cheonji’ Seong-ah’s gut and the opportunity to save Gyeon-woo.Please watch ‘Gyeon-woo and the Fairy’ that will show various charms.” Choo Young-woo, who plays ‘Bae Gyeon-woo’ who was born with a destiny to die but brings misfortune, said, “I am sure that you will fall in love with ‘Gyeon-woo and the Fairy’ before you know it.From the intense first meeting, high school shaman Seong-ah’s double life, and Gyeon-woo’s stories, it will be nonstop, so please watch it from episode 1.”

The role of Pyo Ji-ho, a cheerful man who is indifferent to love and others but endlessly affectionate to his bestie Park Sung-ah, is played by the popular Cha Kang-yoon.Cha Kang-yoon said, “The point to watch is how Sung-ah, Gyeon-woo, and Ji-ho’s first meeting and their relationship develops,” and added, “I am confident that this drama will color your Mondays and Tuesdays with love.Please show us lots of love.” Chu Ja-hyun becomes a shaman named Yeom-hwa who becomes a ghost in order to survive.Chu Ja-hyun said, “In episodes 1 and 2, the relationships between the characters will develop quickly, so you will be able to feel a strong sense of immersion.” She added, “I am confident that there will be a different kind of fun in the freshness of the new setting and various materials.This is a drama where you can discover the various sides of the actors and the story that unfolds within the special world of shamanism.”




● The first love and salvation romance of a boy destined to die and MZ shaman girl

‘Gyeonwoo and the Fairy’ is a collaboration between director Kim Yong-wan and writer Yang Ji-hoon, who previously worked on ‘Whirlwind’, ‘The Cursed’, and ‘When You Make a Wish’.Director Kim Yong-wan said, “I found the combination of genres including romantic comedy, human, occult, and sports interesting, and I liked the sincerity of the message contained within it.” He added, “The unstoppable salvation romance of youth is a story I’ve always wanted to try.The scenes where the 18-year-old high school shaman defeats various ghosts to save her first love, Gyeonwoo, are appealing.You’ll find yourself rooting for Seong-ah’s struggle to save Gyeonwoo from people who are perhaps scarier than ghosts, prejudice, and misunderstandings.”

The story of MZ shaman girl and the boy born with misfortune becoming each other’s salvation and first love is also an interesting point.Writer Yang Ji-hoon emphasized the point to watch by saying, “Gyeon-woo’s life is very difficult, but Seong-ah never lets go.Please look forward to the story of Seong-ah and Gyeon-woo’s salvation as they overcome the constraints of ‘destiny to die’ and overcome the crisis.”
