us into a new Ushering season of spring flings, witches Romance premiere this week at TVN. The carefree workplace rom-com is a remake of Taiwanese Drama Hit 09 My Queen and his crazy, joyous (and sometimes sultry) sound may be just the thing to pull us out of hibernation. Is there there a better way for a successful 39-year-old heroine Gold miss to begin their emotional scars as a new cure 14 years younger with a serious hero?
There are lots of charm a spell on his audience to throw, but the Witch's Brew maybe a little more magic to undress. And if magic = kisses in this show, I'm totally with this replacement in order.

EPISODE 1 RECAP
March 14 White Day (a romantic holiday when men give candies to women, usually . as an answer for Valentine's day) as the camera pans across the cityscape, sends a radio DJ, a word of encouragement to all the still unattached women out there: take heart, because today is the day might be, if your fate changes with a . new, blossoming romance
She has some advice for the men: ".. do not pull the women on a day like today rage against all" will repay because you do not know how you broke my heart. after all
amidst the busy streets, we zoom in a rather strange sight to see: a Saint after someone hunting on a bicycle from It's our heroine BAN JI-yeon ( Uhm Jung-hwa. ) whose voice-over with filled is determination, she has never lost a leading role in its 39 years-and wonders what a Santa to do in the middle of March. Both my treasure.
At Spring St. stop screaming for her, she answers in her head: ".. No, I will not ever stop" not if she wants to come forward , that is
in order to understand how we here, we rewind before to three hours as Ji-yeon bottom struts of the road "like a boss looking, moved into her old school uniform with a pants ~~ POS = TRUNC rolled. She boasts of their employees as their old threads still fit you perfectly ... what if a button from flying. Nothing can not resolve an emergency safety pin.
your employees asked whether their leadership a sure thing this time, and she snaps at the nickname "Witch" much prefer the alternative "antenna", as they drilled home the point that they will never lose a juicy story. Thanks to it, this blade to make the cover of her magazine Troublemaker .
the gossip certainly sounds troubling, since it is a beloved, respected celebrity (which has no anti-fans !). The actor in question has a pristine public image, and is now to give a lecture at a high school.
The interesting twist? His common-law wife is a teacher there and brought their alleged daughter to work today. With only about three hours solid evidence to obtain, they come out.
In school, we cut a frightened girl away with her potential attacker begging of them. To whips That's when she stomps on his foot and elbow him, the girl a round to earn applause from her classmates. Oh, it's a self-defense class led by our hero, YOON DONG HA ( Park Seo-joon ), the group teaches another defensive measure.
Dong-ha just to show when his buddy winces, and he says, assuring that he can not actually met his best friend , Aw, bromance.
Ji-yeon and her staff / Photographer glide past the security guard and the roofs scale in a prime location to get to their goals spy. Full arrives on schedule, her celebrity destination to happily welcome the little girl, and they start snapshots.
Sure enough, confirmed the conversation inside that the little girl is the daughter of Megastar, who asks why rare Papa comes to visit. He sends his daughter off with her mother and his lover to chat with whom he respected the celebrity act falls to ask her why she brought her daughter to her just now.
it is months since her daughter has seen him, she encounters, and depressed to see it her child, a secret kept their lineage. But he's not in the mood to deal with it, and suggests that they and the child to go abroad for a while, which she argues is his way, to keep them out of the picture.
He warns that he will not stand in the way she. Somehow Ji-Yeon is able to hear the conversation on the roof or to understand because she curses him under her breath. Can you read lips? Or have errors the space?
And if we been necessary more proof that Pristine actor not so perfect after all, he hits one of his men for mess-they should make sure that today show his mistress and child would does not occur.
Ji-yeon and her colleagues marvel at their photographic evidence, but they are trapped on the roof of the guard, the mistakes they. A perverse couple She insists that they can check the students, but he did not buy it, and calls for their camera for Peeping Tom photos.
So Ji-yeon the guard to last long enough to talk the memory card will give. Then in the right moment, she makes a run for it. It proposes a dead end at the school gates already locked, so their employees jump the guard her enough time to buy on the gates to hop.
Few people know that the security guard the self observed -Defense classes Dong-ha per week taught. Recalling Dong-ha teaching the guard puts into practice to make temporarily motionless poor photographer.
Now we are introduced to our Spring St. (who is really Dong-ha in costume), as he greets cheerily a group of children with gifts. At the same time, Ji-yeon tries to get a taxi back to call the office, without success. Noticing held the taverns near event, it pays to emphasize the child, the bike, and then rides.
What brings us back to our opening sequence as Spring St / Dong-ha doggedly chasing them through the busy streets. Still running on Ji-yeon to overturn trucks and buses swerving, cyclists on their way. And yet, all I think about is how impressed I am Dong-ha endurance.
Dong-ha actually you hunt alllllllll the way back to her office and lose it at the last minute, as they in the rolling lift. He does not understand when the guard to them as applies to "Witch Reporter Ban" and asks: "Why should I welcome [ ban-ki ] a witch?"
after a mini-celebration in the elevator, Ji-yeon makes it back to her staff meeting, although late and out of breath. Everyone is surprised by her school made clothes, but she proudly displays the memory card, which holds the top actors, the secrets.
informs the employees on their discoveries-how of the popular philanthropic actors in the public differs significantly from his personal life. Besides the secret child, rumor has it that he prepare next year for the elections, which means that he will need campaign funds. And you would not know that he suddenly Signed in more commercials was to appear himself. Bottom line-it is their job to bring the truth to light.
Your report will go ahead, be like the magazine cover story to see, to their fellow team leader Byun astonishment. After the meeting, we see that Ji-yeon up to her "witch" title alive when they ordered the staff, which can hardly be a squeak opponent. Needless to say, no one in the office (except perhaps their publisher boss) she likes.
Ji-yeon heads down this evening of Santa Dong-ha in the lobby and wait for her children. When they call her a thief, Ji-yeon counter with the rational argument that they accepted money for it, and therefore a deal. Dong-ha argues in its defense, but Ji-Yeon can not fool a.
takes issue with being "ajumma", and suggests him to get to the point. In its reply to compensation, she sticks her business card in his belt. She is surprised when he tells her to excuse the children, too, and enters a half-hearted, before turning on his heel turn.
Dong-ha will not accept this kind of treatment, yet he is satisfied with it dull and reasonable excuse, and pulls it back. But Ji-Yeon is more than willing to children and ideological convictions to break with the ultimate cynical answer: Santa is not real. GASP.
Dong-ha Bart deduct, it does not warn the children from the adults and educate distract instead. Enraged, Dong-ha it presses against the wall and pointed out that these orphanage children came to meet Santa and presents for the first time in their lives get. They destroyed these dreams today, it suppressed.
Ji-yeon answers that should grow up without parents one more reason for them to obtain an understanding of the reality sooner to know that there is no such thing as Santa Claus. Dong-ha, "What Witches then I saw one today."
"I am not a witch," Ji-yeon answers. "Just like how you are not a Christmas." But the crushed look on their faces "Children would anyone depressing.
Back to top, Ji-yeon Huff that to be a witch, is hundred times better than a naive Snow White. she overheard their employees at water cooler gossip, cackle that the witch is not ever marry.
she gets her payback by the trio skirmish in for it to work tonight, and if the intern's work late Wiesel tries because they told her a date, Ji-yeon, they go to ... because there are many people willing to take their place.
Dong-ha is insulted by the GOTs orphans chaperone for ruining the memories of the children (although the kids did not seem to blame him). He refused payment, and to make matters worse, his landlord kicks not to make him out for back rent.
Ji-yeon returns home that night, and listen to yet another screaming voice mail message from her mother. She complains that they do not choose up because all mom talks about marriage anyway, and sighs to see through another fortune teller when energized her mother.
your mother all her daughter suffering on "that bastard" blaming the disappeared, and starts that would have been her wedding tomorrow to mention when Ji-yeon, shuts down the machine. She stares at a photo of a polar bear before you turn the image.
Meanwhile, Dong-ha blames his bad luck today, "the woman" to his buddy over the phone. At the same time makes a tear lonely Ji-yeon's face when she hears music.
The singer belts out a sustained note, the beat picks and Ji-yeon dancing together to the song. I love how she sings and dances to their place like nobody is watching.
Their dance break gives us a perfect opportunity to learn more about it, even though our other characters. complains Dong-ha buddy that his neighbor had not worked at it again with loud music while drunk employees note that Ji-yeon has on one day during the six years together.
Determines somehow get back at the witch, the trainee comes up with a plan.
Dong-ha rushes with his buddy YONG SOO-Chul ( Yoon Hyun-min ) and it is said that he is more than welcome this time to stay longer because home Soo-chul visit anyway its chaebol family to be away for a few days.
Ji -yeon wakes the next morning to a television coverage to play, and the moderator (the total doppelganger Dong-ha) reports on the recent victims alone in their homes due to loneliness and high load to die: Ji-yeon and her goldfish. Oh, I know we are in a dream, but that's still pretty sad.
The blink of an eye, their place is with police Crawling, that's when Ji-yeon sees their dead bodies lying on the ground. More Dong-ha doppelganger reports onsite and mourns over death.
The next thing we know Anchorman Dong-ha crawls out of the TV à la The Ring , dropping their previous words back to her, that no one can avoid the cold hard reality of the world , then laughed in her face. There she freaks legitimate and shaking them awake in a cold sweat
But one thing from her dreams it owns, through :. Your goldfish belly is gone up. She asks with a sigh: "really Have you loneliness die"
The good news is that her exposé goes both viral on Pristine actor at the stands and the ether, and Ji-yeon contributes to this success a smug look of pride.
We have to get a quick look at Mama, which is visited on another of their shamans. And this shaman ( Narsha ) is the curse-bringing type, Mummy says openly that their reporters daughter is basically the worst. Marriage is not the problem right now, they suppressed because there are too many people who want the witch again.
It turns out, the plan is internally a young, handsome man to romance Ji get -yeon, and who should go to find, but Soo-chul, the rich playboy. The Troublemaker Trio warns that cold hearted Ji-yeon is no ordinary goal, but Soo-Chul is to bring in his methods confident for him every woman to case.
when Soo-chul, the first attempt Ji-yeon woo is rejected (it sends over an expensive drink that it rotates promptly), takes he the more forward approach and concurs with the trouble Maker family in a round festive drinks.
He certainly makes a polite first impression, say the right things to appease both their beauty and brains. He puts on a handshake out his hand, and when it needs it, he holds on tight for a few seconds, as if waiting for an answer. Your signature move?
They are interrupted when Soo-Chul rises a take is call to Dong-ha, who asks where the hairdryer is and Soo-Chul asks if his friend will come to recycle drinks. He returns to give to the table Ji-yeon a business card (with a false name, of course).
Nevertheless, Ji-yeon through flattered younger man flirtatious moves ... not that they would give their employees the satisfaction of seeing how impressed she is. It does, however, excuse still sexy to praise her self in the mirror on the toilet.
Dong-ha combines Soo-Chul in the same bar and voices his disapproval of his pal new appearance. He does not like the idea of making a fool of someone, even if it is just some office prank.
Soo-Chul is no stranger to Dong-ha rectilinear paths, and points out his victim to his friend. Dong-ha immediately recognizes Ji-yeon and turns away.
Only then will the bar an event for the award of the most romantic couple of the evening with an expensive bottle of liquor. The MC opens the floor to the amount and Soo-Chul raises his hand. Grabbing at his buddy arm, not Dong-ha him, but Soo-Chul just smiles and raises his other hand warns. Pffft, I love Dong-ha literal eye rolling at Soo-Chul self assurance.
Ji-yeon takes Soo-Chul welcoming hand with a certain restraint and Soo-Chul confesses sheepishly to the audience that he plans his feelings confessing tonight. Then he takes the microphone and Ji-yeon turns toward him, her calls his dream girl.
Considering the confession to weaksauce, the MC asked the audience for suggestions. The Troublemaker rallies the crowd, shouting, "Kiss! Kiss!"
Embarrassing, Ji-yeon goes away, but Soo Chul withdraws her and tells her to close her eyes. At these words, Ji-yeon informs us about Voiceover that this day March 15, the bane of their existence in the past six years. Uh oh, that's never a good sign.
Nevertheless, Ji-yeon is a bit hopeful that things will change this year and closes her eyes as Soo-Chul leans in to kiss her ... but then pulls away at the last second and laughs , call in her face her a ajumma. Oh you asshat.
Soo-chul high-fives Team Leader Byun as the latter jeers that he finally got a jab at the Witch. Totally humiliated, Ji-yeon freezes on stage, fighting back tears as she told: "March 15 In my life this day is always a nightmare.."
And then a pair of feet walking on the stage. Eep, it is Dong-ha! Drawing Ji-yeon near him, he sighs that she is a strange woman, and that his plans always go downhill because of her.
Then Dong-ha pulls in a kiss as Ji-yeon thinks to himself, "Today is March 15th. Is it really a nightmare?"
COMMENTS
Assuming that kiss, I'll go ahead and say: probably not . That being said, I liked in general, the premiere of witches Romance . Despite never having seen a drama with Uhm Jung-hwa , I have seen in enough films the singer-actress found her sympathetic and win. The same is true in this show, and during the successful and ambitious heroine with a touch of a painful past love is nothing new in drama country, Ji-yeon has an extra touch of confidence and self-assurance with a vulnerable belly that makes me want for them to anchor.
I like her dogged personality personally chasing the truth, and it shows commitment and dedication to their work. She is proud to be a journalist (and so Mama! Is) And without much get on a feminist soapbox it's sad that a successful career is almost always a witch painted in the workplace during ambition in a drama hero would praised. For what it's worth, Ji-yeon is properly rewarded for their hard work, and I'm not surprised that so feminine characterization tropes in a drama adaptation of an earlier show to see.
, it is the execution of Ji-yeon character sheet both in love and career, which make or break it for us as viewers and so far, Uhm Jung-hwa is doing a fantastic job. The first episode makes me curious, exactly to what happened on March 15, six years ago. Surely it is not ironic coincidence that her wedding would have been the Ides of March, right?
What our hero, I love that he serious, hard-working man who holds several part ~~ POS = TRUNC, but barely two nickels to rub together. Dong-ha moralistic character makes him slightly more sympathetic, and basically an all around good guy. The same can not be said for Buddy Soo-Chul whose douchey String drove our heroine to tears. Gah, why is a carefree jerk in this show, drama gods Yoon Hyun-Min? Nevertheless, I love Dong-ha and Soo-Chul friendship and the two already have a large dynamic component. The bromance is strong with this duo.
But what is hopefully always the noona romance between Ji-yeon and Dong-ha with their electrifying chemistry come as spectators, despite the large age difference. I love that he's not afraid to stand up for her and is not humiliated or scorned for people. Perhaps the Spring St., the witch to teach a thing or two about life and love, and he will not need a love potion to do it.
