It sets the mood where the reality of life is seen. Different stories and wishes of the customers make viewers’ hearts flutter and warm at the same time.
Aside from the tasty food that Hee-ra would prepare, the most anticipating part whenever a customer dines is the wish that they would request and the price that they need to pay.

Life Lessons That You Should Consider
In every story of the customers, there are lots of life lessons that are served. Some of them desperately want to help their family and are willing to pay whatever the price is, even if the price put them at risk.
However, Hee-ra always points out that her customers have the chance to choose and decide if they would accept the needed price. She also says that people sometimes need to choose between two things.
That’s why every decision in life should be carefully thought about because there are consequences that lie ahead.
The Witch’s Diner Series Musings
First of all, I can assure you that this drama is worth watching. Even though it runs only eight episodes, the series is packed with a hefty amount of life lessons.
I usually love romantic-comedy dramas, however, this drama makes me excited per episode. There are no dull scenes, and most of the time I am teary-eyed.
I also appreciate my life more and it reminded me that we all have the liberty to choose our path in life. Some of us may want to succeed in life, meet our true love, give back to our parents, and even make the people around us happy.
I didn’t spoil any scenes in the drama so that you’ll also have the urge to watch it. Especially the story of Hee-ra that you may want to know.
I can just say that she’s just like a normal lady, who badly wants her wish to be granted.
You can also anticipate engaging moments for Jin and Gil-Yong along with the paths they decided to take.
All in all, I love the characters, the plot, the food, and especially the lessons.
