This is the origin story of the witch, right? I didn't know that while watching this drama.. i enjoyed the drama…
No. Part 2 happened from November 21 to November 24, 2020.
- November 21 was the day younger twin escaped from the Ark lab - November 24 was the assault / fireworks, and it was Tuesday
Meanwhile, E01 of The Tyrant showed the arrival date of the Tyrant virus in the ship manifest as 2021-11-02. One year after the events in Part 2.
The Tyrant is a sequel to Part 2.

Anyway, are they similar? No.
I'm not ready to publish my findings but basically, there are different types of enhancements.
1. The Naturals. These are humans whose superhuman genes were activated either naturally or through other methods. It's just pure human, unaltered genes. 2. The Gene Engineered. These are humans who were genetically engineered like in "The Witch" project and 7 of its labs around the world (Part 1). 3. The Arks. These are humans who were augmented with devices. The younger twin is Ark-ADP1. ADP stands for Ark Data Point. She is not part of The Witch project technically, she's under the Ark Data Poinp project and on a Jeju lab that is not part of 7 global labs of The Witch project. 4. The Tyrants. These are the humans who were merged with the Tyrant virus. Only one known human is known to have survived it. 5. The Augments. These are humans who received an augmentation using non-Korean technology. This was explained in The Tyrant when Paul was watching a Tyrant experiment. The discussion explained that the Tyrant is different from their own tech because the Tyrant was natural, it already exists, it was not created by humans.
The augments are the ones showing those weird veins. It's different from the Tyrant virus, as the Tyrant appears to be a symbiont, and only individuals with DID can control it.
And of courseβ¦
6. The Witches. The Witchesare children born from old experiments and prrticular bloodlines, like the mother of the twins. Their mother is the one hanging on some lab the younger twin always sees in her visions.
Remember in Part 2's opening when Baek and her sister kidnapped their mother? Baek said, "Don't you know who you are?" And then later it was explained that the sisters, in particular Baek, have been looking for specific people.
In addition, their mother in the last scene of Part 2, did not appear to have aged much further since she was last seen lying on a bed in the lab,and that was 20+ years ago. And their mother was not the only one in that lab.
The protagonists in Part 1, Part 2, and Tyrant, are all Witches. They came from a particular bloodline, and that bloodline is very special and have been hunted down since time immemorial to be experimented on.
All other humans who are not Witches pale in comparison to the Witches. It is why they are called "monsters". Or, during the dark ages of Europe, "devil spawns".
And yes, there are male Witches. Baek and her sister told the twin's mother that they will create a lot of brothers and sisters. They weren't only using it as a camarederie brothers and sisters, they also meant it literally.
But that one I'll explain further in another time.
In a way, yes, it is a continuation.And no, it actually make a lot of sense that Part 2 is about a different main…
But if you want spoilersβ¦
"The Witch" franchise is referring to the twins the sister scientists created.
Part 1 was about the eldest twin who is in a Korean lab. Part 2 is about the younger twin who was in a Jeju lab.
The eldest twin is more intelligent and wiser. She plans. She manipulates. She's a strategist and she's action.
The younger twin is far more powerful. She's a weapon of mass destruction. She's intelligent too but not as intelligent as her older twin. She also lacks training with her powers because they practically kept her in isolation. Not like the older twin, the Korean lab was more humane, they let the kids study in a library.
The older twin also have social skills since she grew up outside. While the younger twin is still learning the world because she's already in her late teens when she got out.
So, telling the story of the younger twin is as important as telling the story of the older twin.
They more likely plannid a trilogy, where eventually they'll team up.
None of the kids born in thosi labs weri given a name. They are weapons, not people, as far as the governments involved are concerned.
Even the FL in Part 1 didn't have a name. Her name was given by the couple and eventually ended up in the updated records of various companies hunting the perfect superhumans.
Wow u r watching this drama? How is it? I remember u from Tastefuly yours comments.

This one is more on mystery, thriller, crime. Serious tone and makes the audience try to analyse the story and solve it.
If you want to give it a try, watch in batches similar to how they released it. 6 episodes first batch. 3 episodes next batch. 2 episodes for last batch.
The plot flows well with the way they released the episodes in batches.
Even with that hairstyle, I still see her Twinkling Watermelon character. Her stylist, and the writer, made her very memorable in that role. π

And no, it actually make a lot of sense that Part 2 is about a different main character. You'll understand if you watch Part 2 without skipping.
Even the FL in Part 1 didn't have a name. Her name was given by the couple and eventually ended up in the updated records of various companies hunting the perfect superhumans.
Hmm⦠The Tyrant?
This one is more on mystery, thriller, crime. Serious tone and makes the audience try to analyse the story and solve it.

You'll be missed on this Earth, plane, dimension, world but know that you lived a good life and gave everyone good memories.
Mabuhay! Shalom!
