Channel A’s The Witch promises to be a captivating blend of romance, mystery, and supernatural elements. Set against a backdrop of superstition and prejudice, the drama explores the complex relationship between Dong-jin and Mi-jeong.
The Witch is a thrilling mystery romance centered on a woman branded as a witch and cast out of town after the men she loves either get hurt or die. It follows a man determined to save her from this deadly curse.
Park Jinyoung takes on the role of Dong-jin, a top-tier data miner in the industry. To prove that the woman he loves, Mi-jung, isn’t a witch, he majors in statistics. Ten years after graduating, he unexpectedly reunites with Mi-jung and risks everything to uncover the laws of bad luck that surround her, hoping to bring her back into the world.
Jinyoung, whose casting drew attention for his striking resemblance to the original character, is expected to captivate audiences with his uniquely enigmatic yet tender portrayal.
Roh Jeong Eui stars as Mi-jung, a mysterious woman who has isolated herself from the world after strange and tragic events occur to the men who fall for her. Believing she is cursed, Mi-jung lives in seclusion but longs to rejoin society.
The Witch is based on the popular webtoon of the same name by Kang Full, known for hits like Moving, Lighting Store, and Fool. The drama is directed by Kim Tae-gyun, praised for his intense direction in the film Dark Figure of Crime. Fans are eagerly anticipating his delicate and nuanced interpretation of the characters, which may even surpass the original webtoon.
Channel A announced, “We’ve curated an exciting lineup of weekend dramas, starting with Cinderella at 2 AM, Get Married, YOU, Check In Hanyang, and The Witch. We aim to showcase Channel A’s distinct range of romance, from office love stories and island bachelor comedies to youth historical romances and mystery-filled romances.“
