‘The Witch’ has released its third teaser video containing the sad confession and fateful meeting of Park Jin-young and Noh Jung-eui.

Channel A‘s new weekend drama ‘The Witch’ (directed by Kim Tae-kyun, written by Jo Yoo-jin, planned by Channel A, produced by Showbox, Mr. Romance, overseas distribution by A&E Korea) is a mystery romance between ‘Dong-jin’ (Park Jin-young), a man who tries to break the laws of misfortune surrounding women called witches, and ‘Mi-jeong’ (Noh Jung-eui), a woman who has become the seed of tragedy and has cut herself off from the world, and who end up becoming each other’s salvation after a journey that they do not give up on.

Since the release of the first and second teaser videos, comments such as “Park Jin-young and Noh Jung-eui, the synchronization with the original is amazing”, “It‘s sad but so beautiful”, “Please give me more of the Dong-jin and Mi-jeong story” have been pouring in. The enthusiastic response from potential viewers who are waiting for the next video has poured in. The third teaser video released today (26th) responds to this, leading viewers into the deeper worldview of writer Kang Full.

This video begins with the confessions of high school students Dong-jin and Mi-jeong. Mi-jeong is a girl walking through a snow-covered schoolyard. She says, “Since I was young, strange things have often happened around me,” and watches in pain as a male student dies from being entangled in a high-voltage power line that sparks and trembles after breaking off a utility pole transformer. Mi-jeong closes her eyes tightly and shudders, muttering, “People called me a witch,” and the words “Class 3 Park Mi-jeong Witch” are engraved on a school bench. Mi-jeong eventually leaves school.

The boy who watches her is Dong-jin. And he struggles while searching for something. “You’re not a witch, I thought I had to talk to you this time.” But he‘s a step too late. Mi-jung runs away in the middle of the night, dragging her suitcase, and a note that says ‘Urgent sale’ is stuck on her front door. Dong-jin, looking up at the sky with a blank look, confesses, “That was an unrequited love that I couldn’t tell you about.”

However, after a long time, Dong-jin meets Mi-jung on the subway as if it were a lie. And the two meet again. Dong-jin, who runs into Mi-jung on the rooftop where she had been living in seclusion, tells her, “It was fate that you and I met.” Mi-jung‘s eyes fill with tears as she sees Dong-jin, the one and only person who came to her when no one had come to her. The finally revealed amazing two-shot of Dong-jin and Mi-jung gives a breathtakingly beautiful impression and makes people explode with anticipation for the main story.

The production team of ‘The Witch’ said, “The third teaser video released today (the 26th) contains only the core of the main narrative that runs through ‘The Witch’. I hope you think of this as a Lunar New Year gift prepared for potential viewers who have been waiting for the main story,” he said, adding, “Please look forward to and show interest until the first episode where Dong-jin, who coincidentally witnessed Mi-jung, reveals himself in front of her and says, “You are not a witch,” and the dangerous but great love of salvation will be revealed.”

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 behind “Moving,” “The Lighting Store,” and “Fool.” Director Kim Tae-gyun of the film “Dark Figure of Crime” is in charge of directing. It will be the follow-up to “Check-in Hanyang” and will premiere on Saturday, February 15 at 9:10 p.m.
