There are some dramas where you genuinely want them to be good. You keep telling yourself, No, it's good, even when certain episodes disappoint you. You hold onto hope that it'll get better in the next episode, almost forcing yourself to like it. But with each passing episode, it just gets worse.
The most frustrating and pathetic thing about The Witch is its editing, screenplay, and direction. The editing is awful, with nearly 15 minutes of every episode wasted on rehashed content from the previous one—unbearable, unnecessary, and weak. The screenplay moves at a tortoise-like pace, overloaded with flashbacks and barely any real progression in the story. The direction is equally lifeless, failing to create any engagement or momentum.
On top of that, there's no clear explanation or proper buildup of how she even became a witch. The story just drags without giving any real answers, making it even more frustrating. I'm so damn exhausted watching this.
It's just mess, the bullies are talking about morality is the funniest things that i have ever watched. And at the end everyone comes clear but with no change of their mindset as they didn't get the punishment for their actions. The screenplay is so out of the place, couldn't hold the story together, it had the potential to be a good show but felt very mediocre and pathetically weak overall. Performance lacks depth and honesty, chemistry is so loose that nothing looked real betn themselves so just below average.
Are you stalking me or what?? No, no, I'm just kidding! 😃😃
About commenting—yeah, I do that sometimes when it's really, really hard to choose which one I should go with first. If the person commenting doesn’t convince me with their words, I just go with my instinct.
Wow I also saw ur comments in hot stove league drama too. U have been commenting here n there. I guess u r new…
No, I'm not new to K-dramas, but I'm definitely new to Namkoong Min's madness world. Such a brilliant performer! How had I not watched any of his works until now? That’s why I binge-watched all his recent ones.😃
For me, the top picks are: 1. My Dearest 2. Hot Stove League 3. The Veil 4. One Dollar Lawyer 5. (Anyone wants to complete the list?)
It's predictable, but I still want it to be insanely intense. It's good, but the intensity somehow lacks in the first episode. Netflix should have acquired or produced it.
Started so well, but it's turning into mediocre bullshit—pathetic performance by side kicks and bad screenplay execution with so many loopholes. Where is the rivalry for which we are seated here?
They keep messing up the last 20-25 minutes with the same routine stuff. Both episodes start well but lose momentum in the second half. Choi Hyun Wook is trying so hard to imitate Park Seo Joon, but it’s tough to match his aura. That said, he's ’s not bad he's a good performer and iit still fun and enjoyable.
It's good, I mean, I enjoyed the first episode. Just that it's a little overdramatic and immature. But I liked most of it—the production quality, score, direction, and performance were superb.
I get it, I get it, but why not mix the screenplay a lot between the present and past? Why not play much more with the editing and screenplay? That’s what sucks—nothing else. How could you only show the school past scenes for the entire episodes? That’s my complaint. Why? I mean, why the hell? I'm frustrated. Not a single scene between them together in both episodes? This is so dumb.
Also, the pacing feels completely off because of this. They’re dragging out the backstory way too much instead of balancing it properly with the present timeline. It just kills the engagement.
My rating will drop, i gave it 10 🌟 after 1st eps but i think it's not deserved to be 10. Let’s see.
It’s hard to recall such a poorly written project despite having top-notch production, a superb soundtrack, and solid direction. The biggest flaw lies in the script—it offers nothing substantial, making it a complete waste. If you remove episode 7, there’s absolutely nothing to watch or look forward to.
The movie boasts a cast of top actors, but their performances were underwhelming and felt forced. Despite having all the right elements—high production value, a superb soundtrack, and solid direction—the weak script drags everything down. The only saving grace was Kim Jae Wook, who truly delivered, while the rest of the cast failed to make an impact.
After watching the 1st episode:- Wow, fast-paced, brilliantly directed & edited drama with a solid soundtrack. It has everything you need in a drama where you can give your 1 hour—totally worth it. Performance is also at the top. Superb 👏👏. I'm hooked 👌. 10 🌟 1st ep for me.
This is just getting better and better like fine wine ,this si just brilliant. After a long, long time, I feel like I'm watching something bold, courageous, and incredibly real. I'm absolutely loving it! The writing, performances, and direction are exceptional, complemented by a superb soundtrack and score.
Some say there's no chemistry between the leads, but here I am, smiling, because this is the best chemistry one could ask for—pure, unfiltered love. In love you don't calculate what's society's point of view about your relationship.
