As Seong-ah loses her spiritual powers, the cursed Baby Ghost grows stronger. Gyeon-woo is caught between anger and fear as misfortunes strike—and trust cracks.
💥 Opening Scene – Seong-ah’s Vow and Gyeon-woo’s Collapse
The episode opens with Seong-ah making a powerful spiritual declaration: she will protect Gyeon-woo from all harm for the next five days. But before long, Gyeon-woo collapses—marking the start of a terrifying series of curses and accidents.
This sets the emotional tone: protection is growing harder, and misfortune no longer waits in the shadows.
🥀 A Shaman’s Curse Is Not a Gift
Seong-ah is finally honest with her friends: she’s a shaman. She’s been protecting Gyeon-woo, but her power is fading. Her confession is raw—she never wanted to lie, but feared rejection.
Meanwhile, her mentor warns: “Seeing ghosts isn’t a talent. It’s a curse.” This theme drives the episode: the cost of spiritual power is personal isolation.
🧸 The Baby Ghost – Possession Through a Doll
We meet the new central threat: a cursed doll, possessed by the Baby Ghost, now attached to an emotionally disturbed woman. This ghost isn’t malicious—it’s born of grief and trauma, and its wailing triggers chaos.
Seong-ah warns, “If a baby ghost cries and you fail to comfort it—it’s disaster.”
🩸 The Amulet Shatters – And So Does Her Power
When Gyeon-woo is nearly struck by falling glass, Seong-ah rushes to protect him. But the Human Amulet charm fails—the protective bond has shattered. For the first time, she’s powerless.
It’s a terrifying moment. Not because of the physical injury—but because the spiritual connection between them is broken.
💔 Gyeon-woo’s Rage – “None of This Was Friendship”
Gyeon-woo lashes out. To him, everything was a lie—her friendship, her kindness, even the lip balm “amulet.” He accuses her of manipulating him with magic.
Seong-ah is devastated. Not just because of his rejection—but because he’s not entirely wrong. She did have an ulterior motive: saving his life.
🧠 Symbolic Breakdown – “He’s My Braised Beans”
In one of the most clever scenes in the series, Seong-ah’s classmate compares their situation to braised beans—something you dislike but don’t know how to explain why.
This metaphor, absurd but layered, becomes a symbol for unspoken emotions and the burden of liking someone who can't return the feeling.
😞 Seong-ah’s Breakdown – “I Just Wanted to Be Important”
At the hospital, Seong-ah confesses her deepest fear: “I just wanted to be someone important to Gyeon-woo.” She knows she’s no savior. Her powers are fading, her friendship is broken, and she has nothing left to offer but sincerity.
⚔️ Resolve Reforged – “No More Excuses. I’ll Save Him.”
The episode ends with Seong-ah finally stepping away from emotional motives. She’s no longer trying to be liked. She’s no longer playing human friend.
She reclaims her title: Heaven and Earth Fairy. And now, she will protect Gyeon-woo not out of affection, but duty.
🔮 Teaser for Head Over Heels Episode 6:
