"Gyeonwoo and the Fairy" equips the so-called "Excitement Talisman" and embarks on a first love adventure.
The new 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 Pictures, and Eo Contents Group), which will air on the 23rd (Monday), is a romantic rescue story involving a boy with a doomed fate and an MZ shaman girl trying to prevent it. High school shaman Park Seong-a (played by Cho Yi-hyun), who defies fate for her first love, and Bae Gyeonwoo (played by Choo Young-Woo), who will defy fate through the ordinary happiness she has opened up for him, are expected to provide a fresh excitement. With just four days before the first broadcast, key points that will surely captivate viewers have been highlighted.
# Divine chemistry! "First love material" Cho Yi-hyun X Choo Young-Woo X Cha Gang-yoon and "as always" Choo Ja-hyun
The seamless synergy of Cho Yi-hyun, Choo Young-Woo, Cha Gang-yoon, and Choo Ja-hyun is the top viewing point. Cho Yi-hyun transforms into "Park Seong-a," a human talisman carrying out an operation to eradicate misfortune to save her first love, Bae Gyeonwoo. Cho Yi-hyun noted, "The scenes where Seong-a performs the ritual to save Gyeonwoo and the triggers that lead to it will catch viewers' eyes. Please tune in to "Gyeonwoo and the Fairy" as it will showcase various charms." Choo Young-Woo, who plays the character with a doomed fate, Bae Gyeonwoo, expressed confidence that, "As viewers enjoy the diverse chemistry between Seong-a and Gyeonwoo, they will soon be deeply immersed in "Gyeonwoo and the Fairy." From the intense first meeting to the dual life of high school shaman Seong-a and the narratives of Gyeonwoo will unfold without a break, so I hope you can join from the very first episode." The charming 'Pyo Ji-ho' is played by the rising star Cha Gang-yoon, who is indifferent to love and others but infinitely kind to his best friend, Park Seong-a. Cha Gang-yoon remarked, "The first meeting and the evolving relations between Seong-a, Gyeonwoo, and Ji-ho will be key points. I am sure this will be a work that colors Mondays and Tuesdays with love. I ask for your great support." Choo Ja-hyun embodies the shaman 'Yeomhwa,' who became a ghost to survive. She expressed, "In the first and second episodes, the relationships between the characters will unfold rapidly, allowing you to feel a strong sense of immersion. I am confident that there will be a refreshing fun amid new settings and a variety of materials. The story unfolds in a special worldview involving shamanism, and it is a work where you can discover the various aspects of the actors."
# The collaboration between director Kim Yong-wan and writer Yang Ji-hoon raises expectations for the first love rescue romance between a boy with a doomed fate and an MZ shaman girl
Director Kim Yong-wan, who has showcased excellent directing skills through various genres like "Windfall," "Method," and "If You Wish Upon Me," and writer Yang Ji-hoon, renowned for his delicate writing, have come together to excite drama fans. Director Kim Yong-wan said, "I found it interesting that it involved various genres like romantic comedy, human stories, the occult, and sports, and I appreciated the authenticity of the underlying messages. A bold rescue romance for youth is a story I wanted to tell badly. Scenes where a 18-year-old high school shaman fights various ghosts to save her first love Gyeonwoo are particularly captivating. At times, you will find yourself rooting for Seong-a as she tries to save Gyeonwoo from people, who may be scarier than ghosts, due to prejudice and misunderstandings." The narrative of the MZ shaman girl and the boy born with misfortune becoming each other's saviors and experiencing mutual first love is also an intriguing point. Writer Yang Ji-hoon emphasized, "Gyeonwoo's life is quite tough, but Seong-a never lets go. Please look forward to the rescue narrative of Seong-a and Gyeonwoo as they overcome their 'doomed fate.'"
# Kim Mi-kyung, Yoon Byeong-hee, Lee Soo-mi, and Gil Hae-yeon create a spectacular character feast with their unique acting styles
The 'spectacular' character array presented by actors with different acting styles must not be missed. Kim Mi-kyung plays Seong-a's straightforward and bold stepmother, 'Dongcheon General.' Dongcheon General, who uses a sword instead of a bell, raises the 'Shin Daughter' Park Seong-a with abundant love in a carefree manner. Expectations are high for the role of Dongcheon General as she helps Park Seong-a in her efforts to save her first love, Bae Gyeonwoo. Yoon Byeong-hee, a master of deadpan comedy, energizes the scene as 'Flower Noble,' rumored to have a powerful talisman that draws crowds. Lee Soo-mi, who supports Cheonji Fairy and Dongcheon General, will amplify the fun at key points in the plot, showcasing a strong presence even among skilled shamans. Gil Hae-yeon takes on the role of Bae Gyeonwoo's only family member, 'O Ok-soon,' grounding the story. The character with a lifelong wish for her grandson, who is born with misfortune, to experience normal happiness shares a profound bond with 'Cheonji Fairy' Seong-a. Director Kim Yong-wan expressed his gratitude, stating, "The chemistry between the actors was so perfect that it needed no explanation. Notably, Kim Mi-kyung and Yoon Byeong-hee made bold challenges with their hairstyles and costumes, delivering a perfect blend of fun and emotion." Writer Yang Ji-hoon reported, "I was overwhelmed by the performance of Yeomhwa and Dongcheon General during the test shooting. They were far more charismatic and impressive than the script. I ended up revising the scenes involving shamans completely."
Meanwhile, the new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Gyeonwoo and the Fairy" will air for the first time on the 23rd (Monday) at 8:50 p.m.
