Serving Revenges / Wishes as Its Menu

First of all, of course I’m watching this drama because of our unnie Song Jihyo. And this drama, especially her acting didn’t disappoint me. Fyi, this drama titled The Witch’s Diner is about those who have desperates wishes / revenges that hope to come to alive. Once you eat the food made by the witch, you can wish whatever you want. But beware of your wishes, once it’s granted, there’s no way to turn it back. Plus, there’s price that you need to pay for every wishes you uttered.

For me, this drama is not just focusing about the witch herself. It’s more than what you can Imagined. I think it can be best depicted as slice of life kind of drama. It shows you the harshness of life one can go through, from heartbreak, greediness, love, friendships, family, happiness, revenge and the closure one might needed. I think, this drama managed to conveyed them all.

For the acting, I don’t have any problem with it. Song Jihyo’s acting is a well-known one. And, of course she didn’t disappoint me. However, I think the production team didn’t give justice to her role, because I can count how many times she appeared on the screen. I want more of her since she was a witch herself and her role is significant in this drama. How I wish the production could give more screen time for her. The acting’s for other main casts is notable and oustanding. I didn’t have any problem with it either. I love the cinematography, the color fit the dark vibrant of witch’s life that we usually imagined, I also love Song Jihyo’s appearance with those black & red dresses, she’s stunning and serving looks as always. The OST, I barely managed to hear one or two of them, but it didn’t stay in my mind for long.

Overall, this drama have a potential to be a great one. Well, probably because it’s written to fit only 8 episodes therefore it can be understandable that everything seems like rush, simple and short. Still, I would like to give credit to the writer for making this drama likeable, and comforting at many point. It’s a heartwarming and so many lessons could be learned. Not every revenge is sweet, some will leave you with burden, agony and pain. Therefore, I rated this drama 8.5/10. Some scenes worth to be watching for the second times, and I would definitely do so.
