tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 『Gyeonwoo and the Fairy" (played by Yang Ji-hoon, directed by Kim Yong-wan) ended with heated reviews on the 29th. To save Park Sung-ah (Jo Yi-hyun), Bae Gyeon-woo (Choo Young-woo), who received the evil spirit back, and Park Sung-ah, who prayed for another opportunity to the good god who left her, were both affectionate and desperate. Above all, the salvation of Park Sung-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo, who found happiness in their own way instead of achieving their dream of wanting to be normal, gave them a happy ending that will not be forgotten for a long time.
On this day, Bae Gyeon-woo asked Bong-soo how to meet Park Sung-ah 'really'. However, Park Sung-ah did not appear even in the congratulatory poem that Bong-soo told her, and she was asked by Bong-soo to grant one wish. To save Park Sung-ah. Bae Gyeon-woo made up his mind when Bong-soo said that if he did not get out of Park Sung-ah's body, the bowl would be broken and dangerous. When Bong-soo cried that he did not leave Park Sung-ah's body, Bae Gyeon-woo went to Park Sung-ah's dream. Park Sung-ah recognized at once that it was Bae Gyeon-woo, not Bong-soo, who came to her dream. When asked by Park Sung-ah how she had been doing during the years she had not met, Bae Gyeon-woo recalled the time he had been struggling to find him. Bae Gyeon-woo, who was heartbroken by Park Sung-ah's consideration for avoiding him in reality and dreams, shared a affectionate kiss, saying, `I'm sorry I left you alone at 18.' Only then was Bong-soo able to get out of Park Sung-ah's body and go to Bae Gyeon-woo.
Chloride (Chu Ja-hyeon) also risked his life to correct the mistake. Learning about Chloride's reckless plan, Kkotdoryeong (Yoon Byung-hee) headed to an abandoned house to dry it. However, Chlorine and Bongsu sealed the door to keep no one from entering the abandoned house. The power of the evil god was too strong, and the flower leader struggled. In the moment of frustration, Park Sung-ah appeared. With a desperate desire to save Bae Gyeon-woo, 'The Fairy God' returned, and it also reached General Dongcheon (Kim Mi-kyung) and Park Sung-ah became a full-body. Park Sung-ah broke the seal of the evil god and entered the abandoned house and faced Bong-su. At that time, Bae Gyeon-woo consoled a young student who died lonely in fear. And at that moment, Bong-soo remembered the name Jang Yoon-bo. To Park Sung-ah who sheds hot tears "Hello, Mudang. Bong-soo, who said goodbye to the first meeting, "You should say good-bye, too..." relieved his resentment and left this world.
