What Happened In Episode 1?
Park Seong Ah (Cho Yi Hyun) lives a double life—by day, she is a regular student, but at night, she becomes Fairy Cheon Ji, a skilled shaman. Her world changes when Bae Gyeon Woo (Choo Young Woo), a new transfer student, enters her life.
Seong Ah immediately senses that Gyeon Woo is fated to die. In shamanic beliefs, seeing someone upside down is a bad omen, and she has a vision of his tragic future. Determined to save him, she begins using her powers to protect him, but Gyeon Woo is skeptical of shamans due to past experiences.
The episode featured intense supernatural moments, including a confrontation with a vengeful water spirit. A cliffhanger ending left fans eager for the next episode, as Seong Ah’s efforts to help Gyeon Woo led to a misunderstanding between them.
