Will the mutual salvation romance between Cho Yi-hyun and Choo Young-Woo in 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' happen?
In the 6th episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' (directed by Kim Yong-wan, written by Yang Ji-hoon, planned by CJ ENM, produced by Studio Dragon, DEXTER, and EO Contents Group), which aired on the 8th, a shocking development unfolded as Baek Gyeon-woo (played by Choo Young-Woo) was possessed by an evil spirit. The moment Baek Gyeon-woo realized the sincerity of Park Seong-a (played by Cho Yi-hyun) and Pyo Ji-ho (played by Cha Gang-yun) and opened his heart again, an unexpected twist occurred. The evil spirit summoned by Yeom Hwa (played by Choo Ja-hyun) possessed Baek Gyeon-woo. The chilling ending, with Baek Gyeon-woo approaching Park Seong-a and saying, 'Hello, shaman. You should also say hello,' shocked the viewers.
The reaction to the unexpected ending of the evil spirit possession was explosive. The 6th episode recorded an average rating of 3.9% and a peak of 5.1% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 4.0% with a peak of 5.0% nationwide, ranking first in the same time slot across cable and general programming. The target viewership of tvN, which is men and women aged 20 to 49, also achieved a nationwide peak of 1.7%, making it the number one across all channels, including terrestrial.
On this day, Park Seong-a confronted Yeom Hwa fiercely. Not only did she draw ghost-repelling talismans on a photo of her deceased grandmother, Oh Ok-soon (played by Gil Hae-yeon), but she was also furious at Yeom Hwa's cruelty, which constantly pushed Baek Gyeon-woo to the brink. It broke her heart to see why Baek Gyeon-woo had no choice but to dislike shamans in the past. When Baek Gyeon-woo kneeled and pleaded not to be toyed with anymore, Park Seong-a could only respond, 'I don't intend to toy with anyone, even if it's a ghost. I don't want to make anyone cry.'
Park Seong-a's prediction that Yeom Hwa would not just draw ghost-repelling talismans was correct. After completing the purification of the evil spirit talisman (a charm requesting the wicked soul to be turned into a goblin) found in the ossuary, Park Seong-a rushed to Baek Gyeon-woo's house. Faced with Yeom Hwa, Park Seong-a warned her to stop tormenting Baek Gyeon-woo. She saw through Yeom Hwa's true intention, which was never to purify the ghost-repelling talisman from the beginning. Unable to bear seeing Yeom Hwa manipulate Baek Gyeon-woo's heart using misfortune and her grandmother, Park Seong-a unleashed her strong shamanistic powers, shocking Yeom Hwa. That was not the end. Park Seong-a noticed that the body guardian had left the cruel Yeom Hwa. Just then, Dong Cheon-jun (played by Kim Mi-kyung) launched a life-threatening 'sal' that caused Yeom Hwa to writhe in pain. Feeling the crisis, Yeom Hwa sought out the abandoned house, wishing for the birth of a wicked god. Whether her wish was granted, the mischievous spirits celebrated the birth of the wicked god around Baek Gyeon-woo.
Meanwhile, Baek Gyeon-woo realized that Park Seong-a was truly protecting him. Unlike Yeom Hwa, who wanted to take away all his misfortunes, Baek Gyeon-woo decided to trust Park Seong-a again, who told him he was strong enough. Coupled with Pyo Ji-ho's constant attempts at skinship, Baek Gyeon-woo felt even more regretful, realizing that Park Seong-a had taken on the role of a 'human talisman' to protect him.
Despite Park Seong-a's struggles, the crisis continued. To save Kim Jin-woong (played by Kim Seong-jeong), Park Seong-a headed toward the abandoned house, where she should never have stepped. There she faced an unimaginable situation: Baek Gyeon-woo possessed by an evil spirit appeared. The ending, with Baek Gyeon-woo approaching Park Seong-a as if ready to kiss her while saying, 'Hello, shaman. You should also say hello,' shocked everyone. As Park Seong-a was close to completely shaking off Baek Gyeon-woo's misfortunes, a variable named 'evil spirit' emerged in front of Baek Gyeon-woo, who had recognized her sincerity. How will the fate of Baek Gyeon-woo, who is consumed by the evil spirit, play out? Attention is focused on the direction of their mutual salvation romance.
The 7th episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' will air on the 14th (Monday) at 8:50 p.m.
