In ‘The Fairy and the Cowherd’, a variable called an ‘evil spirit’ has appeared in the mutual salvation romance between Jo Yi-hyun and Chu Young-woo.

In episode 6 of tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘The Fairy and the Cowherd’, a shocking development was depicted where Bae Gyeon-woo(Choo Young-woo)was possessed by an evil spirit in an abandoned house.The moment Bae Gyeon-woo realized the true feelings of Park Sung-ah(Jo Yi-hyun)and Pyo Ji-ho(Cha Kang-yoon)and opened his heart again, an unexpected twist occurred.

The evil spirit summoned by Yeom-hwa(Choo Ja-hyun)possessed Bae Gyeon-woo.Bae Gyeon-woo’s creepy ending, where he approached Park Sung-ah and said, “Hello, shaman.You should say goodbye too,” shocked viewers.

The response to the unimaginable demon possession ending also exploded.The viewership ratings for Episode 6 recorded an average of 3.9% and a peak of 5.1% for households in the metropolitan area, an average of 4.0% and a peak of 5.0% for households nationwide, continuing the favorable response by ranking first in the same time slot including cable and comprehensive programming.The viewership ratings for men and women in their 20s and 40s, which are tvN target demographic, also ranked first across all channels including terrestrial programming with a peak of 1.7% nationwide.(Based on Nielsen Korea’s paid platforms)

On this day, Park Sung-ah had a tense confrontation with Yeom-hwa.Not only did he draw a ghost-exorcising pattern on a photo of his late grandmother, Oh Ok-soon(Gil Hae-yeon), but Yeom-hwa’s cruelty in constantly pushing Bae Gyeon-woo to the edge of a cliff made Park Sung-ah furious.

Bae Gyeon-woo’s heart ached at the past when he couldn’t help but hate shamans.When Bae Gyeon-woo got down on his knees and begged her not to play with him anymore, Park Seong-ah could only say, “I have no intention of playing with anyone, even ghosts.I don’t want to make other people cry.”

Park Sung-ah’s prediction that Yeomhwa would not only draw the wall of the temple turned out to be right.After purifying the Imaemangnyangbu(an amulet that asks to turn evil spirits into goblins)that she found in the ossuary, Park Sung-ah immediately ran to Bae Gyeon-woo’s house.

And Park Sung-ah, who faced Yeom-hwa, warned him to stop harassing Bae Gyeon-woo.Park Sung-ah saw through Yeom-hwa’s intentions, which were not to purify the Byeoksaboo from the beginning.She could no longer stand by and watch Yeom-hwa manipulate Bae Gyeon-woo’s heart using bad luck and the grandmother as an excuse.Yeom-hwa could not hide his bewilderment at Park Sung-ah’s divine power, which was stronger than he had expected.It did not end there.

Park Sung-ah noticed that the body god had left Yeom-hwa, who had done many bad things.At that moment, Yeom-hwa, who was hit by the ‘sal’ that Dongcheon Jang-gun(Kim Mi-kyung)risked his life to take, writhed in pain.Feeling a crisis, Yeom-hwa went to an abandoned house instead of the body god to pray for the birth of an evil spirit.As if her wish had come true, the people around Bae Gyeon-woo began to swarm, saying that they would be the first to congratulate the birth of an evil spirit.Episode 7 will air on the 14th.
