Park Jin Young and Roh Jeong Eui are set to lead the new drama The Witch (literal title), which will air as a weekend drama on Channel A in the first half of 2025.
The Witch is a mystery romance that tells the story of a woman driven out of her village because the men who fall in love with her end up injured or dead. The plot follows a man determined to save her from this deadly fate. The drama is based on the popular webtoon of the same name by Kangfull, known for his works Moving and Idiot . The show comes from Dark Figure of Crime director Kim Tae Kyun.
Park Jin Young will play the role of Dong Jin, a top-rated data miner. To prove that the woman he loves, Mi Jeong, is not a witch, he studies statistics in college and, ten years after graduating, risks his life to uncover the law of misfortune, hoping that Mi Jeong will finally be able to re-enter society.
Roh Jeong Eui takes on the role of Mi Jeong, a mysterious woman who has isolated herself from the world. From a young age, strange things have always happened around her, and the men who liked her ended up hurt or dead. Believing her fate to be a curse, Mi Jeong lives in seclusion but also longs to step back into the world.
Channel A announced, “With the launch of Cinderella at 2am on the 24th, followed by Marry YOU, Check-In Hanyang, and The Witch, we have completed our lineup of weekend dramas. From office romance and a comical romantic tale of an islander to a youth historical romance and now a mystery romance, we aim to showcase a diverse range of romantic genres.”
The Witch is set to bring a fresh take on the romance genre when it premieres next year.
