Choo Young-Woo discovered that Cho Yi-hyun is a "shaman".
In episode 4 of tvN's drama "Gyeonwoo and the Fairy" (directed by Kim Yong-wan, written by Yang Ji-hoon), Bae Gyeon-woo (Choo Young-Woo) became frustrated after witnessing the flower dance of Park Seong-ah (Cho Yi-hyun) and Yeom-hwa (Choo Ja-hyun). He felt a moment of happiness from Park Seong-ah's warm comfort, vowing to ward off all bad things, but Yeom-hwa struck down Bae Gyeon-woo again. Bae Gyeon-woo, who was on the verge of tears at the shock of Park Seong-ah being a shaman, and the sad narration stating, "I had a foolish dream," foreshadowed a crisis in their mutual salvation romance.
As changes came to the relationship between Park Seong-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo, episode 4 recorded an average viewership rating of 3.5% and a peak of 4.2% based on metropolitan households, while recording an average of 3.5% and a peak of 4.1% nationwide, maintaining the number one position in the same time slot including cable and general programming channels. tvN's target viewership among men and women aged 20 to 49 also reached a peak of 1.3%, capturing the number one spot in that time frame, including cable and general programming channels (based on Nielsen Korea paid platform data).
On that day, Park Seong-ah awakened feelings for Bae Gyeon-woo, who faced a crisis. The misunderstanding that Park Seong-ah was a shaman arose at school. Unable to reveal the truth in front of Bae Gyeon-woo, Park Seong-ah tried to escape the situation with an awkward smile. Observing Park Seong-ah, who did not contest anything, reminded Bae Gyeon-woo of Yeom-hwa, who had tormented him mercilessly. Unable to hold back any longer, Bae Gyeon-woo exclaimed, "Do you know what a shaman is? You should rather ask if I killed someone," and his reaction to the word shaman unsettled Park Seong-ah even further.
Meanwhile, changes also occurred for Pyo Ji-ho (Cha Kang-yoon). Realizing that his feelings of resentment toward Park Seong-ah, who talked only about Bae Gyeon-woo all day, were jealousy, Pyo Ji-ho could not stand aside while Bae Gyeon-woo expressed his anger toward Park Seong-ah without knowing anything. He approached Bae Gyeon-woo, mentioning that the habit of Park Seong-ah smiling in difficult times came from him, indicating that pretending to be confident would make one confident. But that was not all. Pyo Ji-ho, who confessed his feelings for Park Seong-ah, shocked Bae Gyeon-woo with his proclamation, "I will cherish what is precious."
Bae Gyeon-woo realized his mistake after Pyo Ji-ho's poignant remark. He understood better than anyone that no matter how brightly one smiles, bad people torment you until you cry. Thus, he disliked the forced smile from Park Seong-ah. Bae Gyeon-woo apologized for misinterpreting and getting angry, while Park Seong-ah warmly comforted him, who was troubled by old memories even as she accepted his apology. Encouraged by her promise to ward off all bad things, Bae Gyeon-woo embraced Park Seong-ah.
However, Bae Gyeon-woo's happiness did not last long. The reason he disliked shamans, "Karma," arrived unexpectedly. Yeom-hwa, who embodies that bad relationship, unsettled Bae Gyeon-woo not only by drawing protective symbols against evil spirits on his grandmother's photo but also by stating that his family worries if he shows up. Bae Gyeon-woo fell into despair once again, overwhelmed by an inescapable sense of powerlessness. Bae Gyeon-woo being subjected to Yeom-hwa's salt baptism suggested the impending crisis.
The connection with Yeom-hwa continued. While visiting an abandoned house for a ritual, Park Seong-ah faced Yeom-hwa for the first time. To divert Park Seong-ah's attention from the evil spirit of the abandoned house, Yeom-hwa suggested they dance a flower dance. At that moment, Bae Gyeon-woo appeared in the abandoned house. He was shocked to see Park Seong-ah with Yeom-hwa. "There is a person who promised to stay by my side until the darkness disappears and light comes. That hand is so warm that I thought I could be happy once. I had a foolish dream," echoed Bae Gyeon-woo's narration, culminating in a tearful ending that left the viewers heartbroken. Discovering that Park Seong-ah, whom he thought was his salvation, was a "shaman," draws attention to where their relationship might lead.
