‘The Witch’ Park Jin-young has made his final move.

Park Jin-young is captivating viewers with his dense acting in Channel A‘s weekend drama ‘The Witch’ as he plays Dong-jin, who tries to save Mi-jung (played by Noh Jeong-eui), who is called a witch, from the law of death.

Dong-jin, who has transformed into a mart deliveryman, approaches Mi-jung and begins verifying data in earnest. He thoroughly calculated the scope of space and time, and repeated tests, and even in critical situations, he made bold choices to derive a certain law, creating breathtaking tension.

Dong-jin showed an ‘unt-breaking’ (the important thing is not to break a heart) attitude despite Eun-sil’s (played by Jang Hee-ryeong) dissuasion. He watched Mi-jung enjoying her trip on the bus from afar, and when Mi-jung unexpectedly closed in on him, he escaped the bus and jumped into the river, surprising everyone with his reckless challenge.

Dong-jin then began the process of checking the last variable. During this time, he learned the whole story of the incident between Ik-jong (played by Joo Jong-hyuk) and Mi-jung, became very angry, and once again, he strengthened his heart toward Mi-jung and began to prepare thoroughly.

Dong-jin, who realized that only the person Mi-jung loves can break the rules, goes all-in to win her heart. He went to Mi-jung‘s house and honestly confessed his feelings that he had been hiding, leaving viewers deeply moved.

Park Jin-young, who maximizes the immersion of the drama with his ability to digest characters that go back and forth between a cool-headed appearance and warm humanity, as well as his explosive emotional lines. As he shows his unstoppable, straight-forward side, curiosity is rising about what kind of ending he will have.

The Channel A weekend drama ‘The Witch’, starring Park Jin-young, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
