A Witch’s Romance - tvN Korean Drama 2014

A Witch’s Romance will depict the love story and relationship between our two main characters Ban Ji Yeon (played by Uhm Jung-hwa) and Yoon Dong-ha (played by Park Seo-joon). Ban Ji Yeon, known as a ‘witch’ because she’s harsh, cruel, and mean at her workplace, is a 39-year old passionate and determined reporter who everyone at her workplace hates. But despite the strong and tough appearance she puts on, she is weak when it comes to love because of an incident that occurred with her ex-boyfriend a few years back that’s caused her to change her perspective on love.

Yoon Dong-ha is a 25 year old man who runs an errand center with his friend. He struggles to make a living for himself by working multiple part-time shifts which may range from acting as a Santa Claus to a security guard of a famous celebrity. He also is scared to be in love because of an incident that happened to his ex-girlfriend who he dearly loved. Together, Ji Yeon and Dong-ha will cross paths with each other and form a love that might blossom and bloom; they will create a potential relationship that will be in the making but that’s only if Ji Yeon doesn’t stress out too much about their 14 year age difference. There is real chemistry, folks. And thinking these two in love or in lust is no stretch of the imagination. I get hot just thinking of the kissing scenes!

The two find themselves running into each other by coincidence, at a charity event, in a bar, and at a shop owned by a bipolar shaman (Narsha). That last one is the most important, as it introduces the idea that Ji-yeon’s difficulty’s are not simply part of life, but bad luck brought on by curses cast by those she’s angered. It also implies that Dong-ha and Ji-yeon’s coincidental run-ins are not coincidence, but Fate micromanaging peoples’ lives.

About Kpop

K-pop, or Korean Pop, K-pop is a musical genre originating in South Korea but has spread across Asia (and now the rest of the world). It is characterized by a wide variety of audiovisual elements. Although it comprises all genres of "popular music" within South Korea, the term is more often used in a narrower sense to describe a modern form of South Korean pop music covering mostly dance-pop, pop ballad, electronic, rock, hip-hop, R&B, etc. Exponents of the genre have attracted a fanatical following in recent years, though western audiences could be forgiven for not being entirely au fait with K-pop until this year.

The movement has largely been driven by the internet with every wannabe artist in the world having a platform to showcase their abilities. Though instant stardom is not guaranteed, the internet has played a major role in the spread of the Korean Wave (which describes the rise of Korean music and entertainment business) and has unearthed many new stars.
