Just like cinderella, I guess there's always a version of this story in every culture, LOL 😂
In our version the fairies don't have wings but they have magic scarf that can make them fly to heavenly home.
I'm gonna pass this. I've seen too many adaption of this story from movies, tv series to school drama! I even played as one of the fairy.

I am very intrigued. Is she looking for her husband for revenge? To get him to give back her clothes? Because she loves him and misses him? And how come he hasn't been reincarnated yet? Is it a punishment for trapping her and stealing her clothes? Or has she just missed intermediate incarnations?

Also, the Woodcutter and the Fairy story reminds me of the selkie stories. Which, really, is kind of sad that "trapping a mystical woman and forcing her to marry you" is a reoccurring trope across folktales worldwide.

Wait so they're gonna make Sora a grandma?! The story seems like a mess tbh and her past works *RL,W&C* have been subpar. But that being said I love Sora so much I'm willing to watch this, wonder who her grandpa husband will be

Thanks for the heads-up, JavaBeans! I'm going into Gong Yoo overload with the description of the plot. It sounds like COFFEE PRINCE meets GOBLIN, with a sex change. If the fairy's a tomboy, then it's Eun-chan, not Han Gyul, who does the Kim Shin trip.

talking to plants. that´s enough. all plants? or only the cute ones? don´t neglect meat-eating or smelly plants.

I’m sitting here, desperately praying for this to be good. You’ve done Kang So-ra dirty too many times, dramaland! It’s been dud after dud for her after Misaeng and it makes me sad. Neighborhood Lawyer wasn’t bad, but it was hardly noteworthy and her character left much to be desired.

Pleasebegoodpleasebegoodpleasebegood.

Hopefully this isn't as tragic as Ayashi no Ceres (another take on the "stolen wings"/hagoromo story)...

I'm a bit turned off by the plot.

Anything, ANYTHING! has to be better than ‘Revolutionary Love’ which was unwatchable. Kang So Ra was so ill-served by that wretched show that I felt for her.

Finally a show where the female is a fantasy being instead of the male I hope if kang sora accepts it isn't a let down like her previous romance dramas

Err.. I had Seo Ji-hye in mind for this role ever since I heard for this remake for the first time 😅 Kang So-ra is OK too, it's just that I'm not exactly wow with her. She seems to be picky in choosing her projects, unfortunately most of them failed to make her shine and memorable. Good luck for her for this time!

PD is good, so hopefully the writer is good too. I might checking this one when it's out later - hope the male lead is good!

I got excited when I read the news yesterday. Now I am shaking my head after reading the story. I'd love it she hunts him down for revenge.

PD Kim Yoon Chul is quite active in recent years. He produce one drama each year wow... Hope mybother fav PD takebthe same path haha. Well, they employe a new writers again? make me curious about the quality.

Fantasies seem hot right now, especially with the success of Along With The Gods. I love fantasies so I say keep them coming!

So she's waiting for hubby to reincarnate, but...
... what if he comes back as a cockroach, which is what he deserves.

Would she even recognize him? Would he be able to talk? Could he tell her even if she threatens to smash him with a shoe?

At the moment I read the title, "the barista fairy" I was imagining Kang So Ra being the new look of the Summer Fairy in Hwayugi. It's still really sad that she's dead before we learned the real truth about her tragedy :'(

Anyway I'm looking forward to this. Kang So Ra (if she accept) is a great actress but sadly some of her projects didnt come up really well (the worst of them all is the recent RL, and I blamed the story for it).

Also, she has the ability to talk the plants? If it means controlling the plants, I still can accept it. But talking? I mean, do they really talk? :D :D But it's unique, thought. I havent read the webtoon so we'll just see how it's going to make the story interesting

Nah. This is a mainstream romance drama so this will probably be Disneyfied. The husband doesn't steal the clothes, but a new villain is the culprit. Bonus points if the husband dies trying to get the clothes back and the villain pins the clothes stealing on him, which gives rise to the problematic fairytale.

Here's what it says about the drama at Asianwiki:

In the Goryeo period, Sun Ok-Nam was a fairy. She came down to this world and took a bath at a waterfall on Gyeryong Mountain. While she took the bath, a woodcutter took her fairy clothes and hid them. Because of this, Sun Ok-Nam could not go back to Heaven. She then married the woodcutter and they had two children together, but her husband died from falling off of a cliff. Sun Ok-Nam tried to find her fairy clothes, but she still could not locate it. Needing her fairy clothes, she decides to wait for husband to be reincarnated.

Now in the present day, she makes coffee at a cafe on Gyeryong Mountain and waits for her reincarnated husband. Finally, after 699 years, she gets a feeling that one of the two men visiting her cafe from Seoul is her reincarnated husband. Sun Ok-Nam is not sure which one of the two men is her husband. She decides to follow them to Seoul to find out.

All signs are pointing towards Kang So-Ra needing new management; although I will say, Revolutionary Love should have been a win. It just should have...

I'm reading the webtoon which is neaing its end and all I can say is that the story actually delves more about forgiveness and life-long friendship between the three leads. So I hope the writer doesn't butcher the original plot.

I adore this webtoon! It's so delightfully strange that I'm not actually sure how it will translate into a drama, but i definitely want to see them try! I mean, how in the world are they going to put on screen her daughter, who is sometimes a tiger, and sometimes a cat, and writes erotic gay romance novels for a living?

Interesting plot. I haven’t seen her dramas after Misaeng and I really want to seen her in a good drama. Also, I know Lee JungSuk just finished WYWS but I’m still waiting for my Kwak couple happy ending so can we please have him as her leading man in this drama?

I'll take anything, as long as it erases my memories of Her Previous Drama That Shall Not Be Named. 699-year-old barista fairy? Sold.

I like Kang So-ra, but I just can't into the fantasy-romance genre. I'm also not a fan of reincarnation plots. Sigh.

*sigh* how glorious it would be to have another Kim Sam Soon-level hit especially starring Kang Sora and Yoon Hyun Min 🤞🏽

I will always have a soft spot for Kang Sora, so just like Javabeans I really want her to get that hit with her next drama. I always felt like she never had an eye for dramas after Misaeng, so here's hoping this drama will be the special one.

I hope this will be good. Revolutionary Love was an epic fail. She needs a good drama. I thought after Misaeng she already knew how to pick a winner.
