Korean TV station Channel A announced on January 13 that its new live-action series The Witch will premiere on February 15. The first teaser video has also been released, featuring Jin-young Park and Jeong-eui Roh as the leads in a story adapted from the webtoon by renowned artist Kang Full, who authored the original webtoons for Disney+ series like Light Shop and Moving.
The Witch is a mystery romance drama about Dong-jin, a man determined to break the curse of misfortune surrounding a woman called the witch, and Mi-jung, a woman burdened by the tragic events around her who has cut herself off from the world.
The production team explained, "The first teaser shows Dong-jin reuniting with Mi-jung after years of holding her in his heart and embarking on a journey to break her curse. As a data miner who believes only in truths derived from big data, Dong-jin must navigate an inexplicable and illogical situation. We hope viewers will follow how he faces this challenge."
While A+E Korea, the show's production company, announced The Witch will premiere globally through A+E Korea's international and distribution partnership, it is unclear which steaming platforms the show will be on yet.
The original webtoon serialized on Kakao in 2013.
