Channel A‘s ‘The Witch’ has been giving viewers special fun with its powerful special appearance corps, and today (the 22nd) another actor with a strong presence will be appearing.

Channel A’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘The Witch’ has completely satisfied viewers‘ high expectations since its first week of broadcasting. It properly brought out the virtues of the genre with the perfect chemistry between Park Jin-young and Noh Jung-eui that is hard to take your eyes off of for even a moment, and the mystery of ‘The Law of Misfortune’ that suddenly pops up in between the salvation romance narrative, and it led to favorable reviews with its sensational directing that heightened immersion and its composition that was differentiated from the original. As a result, the viewership ratings for the last two episodes increased compared to the previous episode, reaching a peak of 3.5%. As a result, it ranked 2nd in Netflix’s TOP 10 series in Korea today, beating out strong competitors. In addition, according to the Good Data Fundex for the 2nd week of February released on the 18th, the drama and its cast‘s topicality settled in the rankings, proving the power of the content.



With the show showing good momentum with a hot response from the first week of broadcasting, expectations are high that episodes 3 and 4 will be even richer. Above all, Joo Ji-hoon, Yoon Park, Kim Hye-ok, Hyun Bong-sik, and Joo Jong-hyuk made special appearances in the first week. Joo Ji-hoon, who ran to the set without a word due to his connection with the movie ‘Dark Figure of Crime’, made a surprise appearance with Yoon Park. They each played the roles of the ‘Tracksuit Man’ and the ‘Suit Man’ brothers who fight all the way to the police station. Kim Hye-ok appeared as a pitiful ‘mother’ whose sons keep nagging even after they grew up and ended up at the police station, and Hyun Bong-sik appeared as a ‘detective’ in charge. Joo Jong-hyuk appeared as ‘Ik-jong’, a church brother who liked ‘Mi-jeong’ (Noh Jeong-ui) but suffered the misfortune of being stung by a wasp.

Amidst these unexpected special appearances that caught the attention of viewers, today (the 22nd), actor Jin Seon-gyu with a crazy presence takes over the baton. ‘Dong-jin’ (Park Jin-young) enters university’s statistics department to solve his ‘life‘s homework’of being a witch’. Jin Seon-gyu plays Dong-jin’s professor ‘Hwang Jeong-sik’. The still cuts released before the main broadcast contained Jin Seon-gyu‘s image as a professor who is 100% realistic. In the preview video for Episode 3, there was also a scene where he points out to Dong-jin, “Your report was useless from the beginning. It was full of errors.” It is hinted that this will have a significant impact on Dong-jin, who is trying to break the curse of bad luck on Mi-jeong with fact-based data. Their teacher-student chemistry is also expected to be a point of interest in Episode 3, which will air today (the 22nd).

The production team said, “We are grateful to Jin Seon-kyu for readily accepting the offer for a special appearance,” and added, “Jin Seon-kyu’s delicate and cheerful acting greatly enhanced the drama. It marks an important pivot point in the dramatic development. He also boasted great chemistry with Park Jin-young,” raising expectations.

Episode 3 of Channel A’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘The Witch’ will air today (the 22nd) at 9:10 p.m.
