Actress Noh Jung-eui personally shared the story of Channel A‘s new weekend drama ‘The Witch’.

Channel A’s new weekend drama ‘The Witch’ (directed by Kim Tae-gyun, written by Jo Yoo-jin) is a mystery romance about ‘Dong-jin’, a man who tries to break the bad luck surrounding women called witches, and ‘Mi-jeong’, a woman who has become the seed of tragedy and has cut herself off from the world, and at the end of their never-ending journey they become each other‘s salvation. Noh Jung-eui plays the mysterious woman ‘Mi-jeong’, who has cut herself off from the world with the stigma of being a ‘witch’. Mi-jeong is a recluse who has gone into hiding after all the men who liked her got hurt or died.

Noh Jung-eui said, “This is a precious work of my life that shows a different charm from my previous filmography,” and “I sincerely hope that many people will join me.”

“I really liked Kang Full’s webtoon,” said Noh Jung-eui, who revealed why she participated in “The Witch,” saying, “I was drawn to the fact that I could work with Director Kim Tae-gyun and Actor Park Jin-young.”

Now that filming has been completed and the first broadcast is awaited, she called “The Witch” a precious piece of work. She added, “I’ve learned, felt, and been left with the most in my acting career so far. There are things I can grow from as an actress, and there are people who have comforted me a lot.”

She was also drawn to the character of “Mi-jeong,” who has a very different charm from her previous filmography. Noh Jung-eui, who described Mi-jeong as “a lonely person who has stayed away from the world for the sake of others,” said, “Since she’s a character of few words, I had to create her own atmosphere with just her expressions.”

That’s why acting was by no means easy. Noh Jung-eui had many conversations with director Kim Tae-gyun, and said that she received a lot of help with the song in particular. “When I listened to the song, I immediately turned into Mi-jeong and cried. That song still makes me cry when I listen to it,” she said, which makes us curious about her ‘Plee’ (playlist).

One of the main themes of ‘The Witch’ is the journey of ‘Dong-jin’ (played by Park Jin-young) to find the truth behind Mi-jeong’s misfortune as he tries to bring her, who had been living alone in seclusion, back out into the world.

“Because Dong-jin protects Mi-jeong from afar, I met and talked with actor Park Jin-young more in the waiting room than in the drama,” Noh Jung-eui said, “He is an actor who conveys emotions in a way that makes you fall into his eyes when acting. I was able to act with the fun of falling into the emotions together. Thanks to his consideration, I was able to film happily,” she mentioned her chemistry with Park Jin-young.

Noh Jeong-ui also confidently said about the point of interest in ‘The Witch’, “Actor Park Jin-young and I will be in it!”. She continued, “There is mystery and romance. It has that much fun. I worked really hard filming with many staff members. I think it will be a project that will repay you for waiting for a long time,” and once again left her sincere wish, “I hope many people enjoy it, as it is my life’s work.”.

Channel A’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘The Witch’ is a dramatization of the webtoon of the same name ‘The Witch’ by Kang Full, the popular webtoon writer of ‘Moving’, ‘The Lighting Store’, and ‘The Fool’. Director Kim Tae-gyun, who displayed his dense directing skills in the movie ‘Dark Figure of Crime’, will be directing, and expectations are high that a well-made drama with a high degree of perfection will be born with his sensational interpretation. It will be aired for the first time on Saturday, February 15th at 9:10 PM as a follow-up to the popular ‘Check In Hanyang’.
