Actor Park Jin-young chose "The Witch" as his first return film after being discharged from the military.
Channel A's new Saturday-Sunday drama "The Witch" is a mystery romance in which "Dongjin," a man who wants to break the law of bad luck surrounding a woman called a witch, and "Undecided," a woman who became the seed of tragedy and cut herself off from the world, become each other's salvation after a journey that does not give up.
It is a dramatization of popular webtoon writer Kang Ful's webtoon "Witch" of the same name, including "Moving," "Lightning Shop" and "Silly," and director Kim Tae-kyun, who showed dense directing power through the movie "Dark Murder." It is expected that a high-quality work will be created by adding Kim Tae-kyun's delicate and sensuous interpretation to the unique world view unique to Kang Pul.
In "The Witch," Park Jin-young plays Dong-jin, a data minor who is treated the most in the industry. The background of Dong-jin's job of mining (mining) the necessary information by turning the data into the desired form and analyzing it is the woman he loves, "Undecided" (Roh Jeong-ui). Mijeong, who is followed by bad luck and death, was called a "witch" and cut herself off from the world. Dong-jin, who graduated from the Department of Statistics and works to see the truth in big data, will prove that Mi-jung, whom she met by chance after a long time, is not a "witch" and will find a realistic law to make her come out of the world.
In the still cut, which was released for the first time today (14th), you can see Park Jin-young who has completely transformed into a science elite Dong-jin. Even at the time of casting, it had already drawn attention due to its high synchronicity with the original webtoon character.
Rational Dongjin looking only at the facts in the data, excluding emotions. But he is also a man with a mournful feeling who begins a dangerous journey to find out the truth surrounding the laws of bad luck by digging only statistics to die in order to say to a woman he loves, "You are not a witch." The image of Park Jin-young's perfect performance, filled with eyes wet with excellence even in the intellectual aura, shows the complex character of Dong-jin.
Director Kim Tae-kyun, who directed the movie, said of Park Jin-young, "The stable tone and eyes are very similar to 'Dongjin.' The purity and sincerity of the character are also buried in the actor," he said, expressing satisfaction with the high character synchro rate.
The production team also said, "Witch is a work that concentrates the acting skills of Park Jin-young, who has shown acting skills regardless of genre in various works. "I take a role that is never easy to express, so I come and go with a rational side of pursuing the truth and a mournful emotional love that even puts my life on the line," he said. "Please look forward to how Dong-jin will save Mi-jung, who is called the 'Witch,' and how actor Park Jin-young will present to viewers the Kangful Universe, which depicts a great love of salvation in a cold and eerie mystery."
"The Witch" is set to premiere at 9:10 p.m. on Saturday, February 15.
