Based on the popular webtoon "Gyeonwoo and the Fairy," the drama is about Park Seong-ah (character played by Cho Yi-hyun), a high school girl and shaman who is committed to changing the fate that was supposed to take her first love, Bae Gyeon-woo (Choo Young-woo). The show has been highly praised for its innovative approach to the fantasy romance genre, seamlessly harmonizing supernatural elements with stories of young adults growing up. In addition, knowledgeable people in the industry emphasize that the show's outstanding performance is due to the natural affinity of the main characters, as Cho Yi-hyun portrays both the depth and the fragility of her two characters, and Choo Young-woo's portrayal of the good-hearted Gyeon-woo and, at the same time, the miserable ghost Bong-su is very multi-dimensional.
