On the 11th, a production conference to commemorate the first broadcast of the new Channel A weekend drama ‘The Witch’ was held. Director Kim Tae-gyun and actors Park Jin-young, Noh Jung-eui, Lim Jae-hyuk, and Jang Hee-ryeong attended the event.

Park Jin-young and Noh Jung-eui will be reuniting for the first time in 13 years since the KBS2 drama ‘Dream High 2’. Park Jin-young said, “2012 is the year I debuted. Time really flies. It was amazing to be reunited with a friend I met on set before, so it‘s called fate. What was unfair was that I was 19 at the time, but it felt like only my body was aging. (To MC Park Kyung-rim’s lament about my age) I‘m sorry.”

Regarding the love line in ‘The Witch’, Park Jin-young said, “I don’t talk much with actor Noh Jung-eui in ‘The Witch’. We said to each other, ”If we work together again in the future, let‘s do roles where we talk a lot.“ We passed the baton to each other on our way to and from work. We filmed like a relay race. It was like a sports day. Our acting chemistry was really good,” he said, confident in their extraordinary chemistry.

Noh Jeong-ui said, “There weren’t many scenes where we talked directly. We had to communicate with each other‘s eyes. This is because most of the scenes involve watching from afar,” and added, “Actor Park Jin-young did a great job and made me feel comfortable. Even though it was our first time meeting, we hadn’t even met in ‘Dream High 2,’ so I was excited as if it was our first time meeting.”

‘The Witch’ is a mystery romance about a man named Lee Dong-jin (played by Park Jin-young) who wants to break the bad luck surrounding a woman called a witch, and a woman named Park Mi-jung (played by Noh Jeong-eui) who has become the seed of tragedy and has cut herself off from the world, and they save each other at the end of their never-ending journey.

The drama is based on the webtoon of the same name by Kang Full, the author of ‘Moving’, ‘The Lighting Store’, and ‘Fool’. It is also the drama directorial debut of ‘The Detective’, director Kim Tae-gyun.

‘The Witch’ will premiere on Saturday, February 15 at 9:10 p.m. as the follow-up to ‘Check In Hanyang’.
