Choo Young-Woo closed his heart again to an unhappy fate in 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy.'
In episode 5 of the tvN drama 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' (directed by Kim Yong-Wan, written by Yang Ji-hoon), Park Seong-Ah (played by Cho Yi-hyun) lost her human talisman effectiveness. The effectiveness of the human talisman also disappeared because Bae Gyeon-Woo (played by Choo Young-Woo) no longer believed in her. Park Seong-Ah cried in the rain, feeling like the abandoned lip balm was akin to her own denied existence. The ending where Bae Gyeon-Woo offered her an umbrella added to the tenderness. The viewership ratings also rose with the umbrella ending between Park Seong-Ah and Bae Gyeon-Woo. The ratings for episode 5 recorded an average of 3.8% and a peak of 5.1% among metropolitan households, and an average of 3.7% and a peak of 4.8% among nationwide households, continuing the positive response.

Without giving a chance to be happy, Bae Gyeon-Woo resented his fate for the misfortunes that befall him. The fact that the one he cared for, 'Park Seong-Ah,' is a shaman was a great wound for Bae Gyeon-Woo. "Why are you doing this to me? How much more pitiful do I have to be for you to stop?" Amid his sobs, Park Seong-Ah appeared before him. Park Seong-Ah mustered the courage to explain herself to the wounded Bae Gyeon-Woo. However, Bae Gyeon-Woo denied her, asking, "How many of the things you've told me until now are not lies?" Faced with his cold words, which reflected his lack of faith in her, Park Seong-Ah's heart crumbled.
Bae Gyeon-Woo closed his heart once more and pushed Park Seong-Ah away. Despite Bae Gyeon-Woo's cold response, Park Seong-Ah did not give up on saving him. If she could endure for just five more days, she could return to an ordinary life. The sincerity of Park Seong-Ah asking Bae Gyeon-Woo, who rejected her, for just five more days of friendship was incredibly touching. However, the crisis continued. The loss of the human talisman effectiveness was a setback. The baby spirit, who could not be soothed, overwhelmed both of them, and Park Seong-Ah's gestures had no effect. Even at the moment of losing consciousness, Bae Gyeon-Woo's attempt to protect himself made Park Seong-Ah suffer even more.
Park Seong-Ah contemplated another way to save Bae Gyeon-Woo without the human talisman. Pyo Ji-Ho volunteered as a human talisman for the upset Park Seong-Ah. His statement, "If Bae Gyeon-Woo dies like this, I'd feel wronged and could not live," reflected Pyo Ji-Ho's genuine hope that Park Seong-Ah would not be hurt. At the same time, Park Seong-Ah also found a way to soothe the baby spirit. After finding a doll connected with a red thread at Koo Do-Yeon's house, Park Seong-Ah, after persuasion, handed it to the newlywed searching for her deceased baby. The baby spirit, who could not leave this world longing for its mother’s embrace, finally stopped crying and smiled.
Meanwhile, Park Seong-Ah faced her discarded 'lip balm' in a trash bag in front of Bae Gyeon-Woo's house. Overcome by deep sadness, feeling rejected in existence, she cried in the rain. "Even if I’m not a friend, even if it’s a lie, even if it’s fake, if my heart hurts this much, isn’t this one thing real?" was Park Seong-Ah’s heartfelt sentiment, filled with tenderness and sorrow. At that moment, the rain that had been pouring over her head stopped. Where Park Seong-Ah’s gaze fell, Bae Gyeon-Woo stood holding an umbrella. As he stood with his drenched shoulders offering her the umbrella, his expression was also complex. The ending where Park Seong-Ah and Bae Gyeon-Woo faced each other under the umbrella left a poignant feeling and made viewers curious about the fate of these two.
