[Park Jin Young, Roh Jeong Eui]

[The Witch]

[This drama is fictional and any similarity with reality is purely coincidental.]

[We followed the production guidelines when filming child actors and animals.]

I will save you all

from the hell of statistics.

I am Hwang Jeong Sik.

Not Han Jeong Sik, but Hwang Jeong Sik.

Then, the first lesson

will be something everyone likes.

Self-introduction time.

I know all you retakers, so don't try any tricks.

No matter how many people there are,

your turn will come eventually. Got it?

Yes.

Then, let's start with the very front row.

- Me? - Yes.

Hello!

I'm Lee Dong Jin.

Good. Lee Dong Jin.

Why did you come to the department of statistics?

The reason I came to the department is…

Ah… well… that is…

The correct answer,

is it "for the scores"?

No.

Do you dream of becoming a statistician civil servant later?

No.

You could earn more money by taking the actuary exam than becoming a civil servant.

I'm sincerely advising you.

If you don't want to end up like me,

try to avoid academy at all, if possible.

Okay, next.

For me,

through statistics, I must

solve a life challenge. And that's why I came.

Oh! Well, that's innovative.

A life challenge…

Okay. That life challenge…

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

To introduce oneself so enthusiastically, that's a very good attitude.

Okay. Who are you?

Yes.

I

am Kim Jung Hyuk.

[Episode 3: Coincidence]

- You came? - Yeah, I'm starving.

It's delicious.

Isn't that person in our department?

He eats alone every day.

Initially, he looked quiet and cool, so he was quite popular,

but everyone in our department dislikes him.

Shouldn't he at least respond to greetings?

That's why he doesn't have any friends.

You've hurt your finger.

How did you hurt it?

Ah, this?

While cutting fruit.

He seems like he has no emotions at all.

It's gotten to the point where

people are saying he's a psychopath.

Talking about Jung Hyuk,

I thought of Park Mi Jeong.

You guys are wrong.

Huh?

I said you're wrong.

What is he doing?

Kim Jung Hyuk.

You're Kim Jung Hyuk, right?

Why do you eat alone? It's no fun.

Don't tell me you don't know me?

We're in the same department with Professor Hwang.

We even took Introduction to Statistics together.

Hello!

My name is Lee Dong Jin.

But where's your home? I live alone close to the school.

When people hear I'm from Gangwon province, they always ask if I farm potatoes.

By that logic, does everyone from Jeju island grow tangerines?

My home doesn't grow potatoes.

My mom runs a store.

But, actually, the house next door grows them. Would you like some potatoes?

My mom has really large hands.

Even when I fry them on my own, boil them,

it never seems to diminish.

Really, this guy…

Kim Jung Hyuk! Where are you going?

Hey! Just a moment.

Jung Hyuk,

you need to take the potatoes.

Mom said she would give you the potatoes she planted last time.

Eat well.

Dong Jin, I'll go ahead.

Okay, bye.

Jung Hyuk. Let's go eat.

I'm tired of the cafeteria food, shall we eat outside? There is

a new Chinese restaurant that opened right in front.

Why are you doing this to me?

What?

Usually, when someone doesn't answer,

it means "do not talk to me", so you should just avoid them.

It seems like you don't know well.

There's no special meaning.

Honestly, it's a bit uncomfortable.

When I see you, someone comes to mind.

I couldn't do that before.

Because I didn't have the courage.

I don't want to make the same mistake.

If it was uncomfortable,

I apologize.

Eat quickly. I've got to go to my part-time job.

You said let's eat together.

But we never have.

Alright. Then eat slowly.

But,

why do you work so many part-time jobs?

Well, the convenience store is on weekday evenings,

and the campus coffee shop is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

The meat restaurant

was a favor, substituting for Myeong Soo.

Is it for pocket money?

Or family circumstances?

Ah.

I never thought about it because my mom always bought it for me.

But when I looked into things like online lecture and college entrance exam prep books,

they turned out to be really expensive.

Ah.

Looks like you're considering taking a gap year.

After getting into Se-Un University, you want to take a gap year?

If I did that, my mom would kill me.

Not me.

But I really want someone to take the SATs.

I want to give it to that person.

Ah! I also work here. Starting at 1 pm.

Can I have some more water here, please.

Yes, of course.

But, Professor Hwang's grades are just too low.

That's why I feel like I need to retake this class.

Hey, let's go somewhere else.

- Why? - Come quickly.

Why?

Jung Hyuk! Let's go together.

It's vacation now, what are you going to do?

Since it's the vacation,

I should take a part-time job like you now.

Oh! Sure. Should we work together?

Should we?

And so, Jung Hyuk became my friend,

and I became his friend.

Hello, sir!

Are you back?

Mom?

Oh, my!

Oh, my amazing son!

Mom, I'm a grown-up man now…

They say children are always in your care, the old saying isn't wrong at all.

Children in your care?

Raising kids is all for nothing, that's what it is.

Now that you're all grown up, you won't even give me a kiss.

Why? You don't like it. Do you hate it?

- Have you eaten? - No, I'm hungry.

Wow! It is my birthday today?

What do you mean?

You said you'd come right after the vacation?

Ah. I was working part-time.

Part-time job?

Why do you work part-time?

If you're short on pocket money, you should just tell me.

It's about money,

but it's also good to learn about social life.

The thought is commendable,

but students should study.

There's a right time for everything, including studying.

How's college life?

It's fun.

I also made a close friend named Jung Hyuk.

What kind of person is he?

He doesn't talk much and isn't very sociable,

but he's reliable.

You know, there are those kinds of people in life.

Somehow, you're attracted and drawn to them.

When I see Jung Hyuk, someone comes to mind.

Who?

There is someone.

Mom,

my GPA is above 4.3.

I might even get a scholarship.

Lee Dong Jin,

I recognized it when you said you were working part-time.

If you're just going to get that score and go to college,

you might as well quit. Don't eat anything. Don't even breathe.

I'm really out of words.

After sending you to college? Just 4.3?

Wow!

Exactly how many questions do you have to get wrong to score that?

Did you get even one question right?

Hahaha!

Mom, that's why I said it. It's not a four-point-three.

Hahaha!

How can you laugh?

Hahaha!

Look at those faces.

Oh, Mom.

Hm? Why?

Your mom who didn't even go to college and knows nothing

will go back to the store.

Ah! Mom, stop saying that.

I said I'm sorry.

Forget it.

I'm going to be late, so order takeout.

If you go out in the neighborhood, greet the ladies too.

Ah! I have somewhere to go.

Do I really have to greet them today?

You'll have time to show your face, won't you?

How much did the ladies love you?

The son from the laundromat is hospitalized, so his mom is feeling down, just so you know.

Didn't you say that guy was into martial arts? Why is he hospitalized?

Do you even know

why there are rumors about a witch

and such at your school?

How do you know that?

Look at this.

What is it that Mom doesn't know?

Anyway,

her dad died recently.

He was a good person. It's unfortunate.

What? When?

It's been several months already.

Be good while I am still around.

Anyway, what life this is. It all crumbles in a moment.

So Hyun Kyu from that laundromat

went to their house to comfort the girl, and on his way back

he was hit by a wild boar.

My goodness! Does that even make sense? A wild boar?

Seeing that, it makes you wonder if she's really a witch as the rumors say.

Even you? Why are you like that!

As if she's some witch.

Wait, do you believe that?

Does that make sense?

No.

Too many people are getting

hurt or even die.

Say something that makes sense.

People all get hurt or die eventually.

But does it make sense to say it's because of her?

How big is our country's population?

Statistically, 247,000 people died last year.

An average of 677 people die per day!

Do that many people die?

If you calculate it,

500 out of every 100,000 people, that's 5 out of every 1,000.

The discussion is about 5 to 6, out of 12,000, dying at Midong High School.

But in three years, only two have actually died.

So, just know

it's all just a coincidence!

I got it.

But, did you memorize all of that stuff about the numbers?

Huh?

But Dong Jin,

maybe,

she's probably already gone.

Considering the village meeting was a few months ago,

people asked her

to leave the area.

To at least meet face-to-face to understand their thoughts,

thinking it over or just considering it.

Because of her, our Hong Gi died when he was just a child.

[Forest Housing Gold Lucky Property Real Estate Agent]

No! I've prepared something for you, during this time.

I wanted to prove to you

that you are not a witch.

But,

I was too late again.

I missed you so much.

At that time,

I cried, not knowing why I was crying.

That was

an unspoken

one-sided crush.

Not everything waits for you.

Especially

love,

even more so.

Come in.

I heard you were looking for me.

- Sit down over there. - Yes.

Right. So,

why do you work so hard?

Excuse me?

Usually, in the first year,

you lay low a bit,

and just getting by is the norm.

After all, they say you become a blank slate after returning from the military.

But, Lee Dong Jin,

why are you working this hard unnecessarily?

Does that mean, it's not okay?

There's nothing that says it's not okay.

Since you're a student studying.

But I don't really like that.

Excuse me?

The kids who always work hard

later ran away without even looking back.

I won't run away.

Really?

Okay. Then one question.

Is the witch described in this report a fictional character?

No, there is someone who is being misunderstood.

I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.

As I said during the self-introduction time last semester.

Is it related to that life's challenge?

Yes.

The string of accidents in the village

and the deaths

were to prove that they have no connection with any person.

The idea of using statistics was quite good.

But,

it has now become useless.

It's too late.

No.

Your report was useless from the start.

It was riddled with errors.

What?

Selective application of statistics.

In simple terms,

you decided the answer that she is not a witch

and then you fit the statistics to it.

This is not mathematics.

Why this again?

Checklist questions.

Verify them all.

Wouldn't that make things clearer?

Whether she is a witch or not.

Go back to the beginning. What do you think?

Professor.

Why?

Will you run away?

Incident.

While identifying the differences between other areas and our area,

we must also find the commonalities among the accidents that occurred in our area.

Related materials.

March 2010.

The mortality rate and accident rate of Midong High School

were significantly higher than those of high schools in other areas.

Traffic accident fatalities.

If the accident rate is higher than the average in other areas,

there must be a cause.

When did the traffic accidents…

It is unlikely that the accidents have no correlation or commonalities.

The incidents have no correlation whatsoever,

nor do they share commonalities.

What is the common denominator of these incidents?

The only common denominator between incidents and accidents was

only Park Mi Jeong.

Was Park Mi Jeong really

a witch or something?

Why are you like this?

What will you do if you catch a cold?

Jung Hyuk,

I was wrong.

What's the matter?

I just can't find a way, Jung Hyuk.

Before we knew it, time had passed

and we became the graduating class.

Jung Hyuk was preparing for the police civil service exam.

Welcome.

You know? Senior Hong Jeong Ho from the class of 2008.

Yes.

Sit down first.

It's been a while.

Yes, have you been well?

Shine Solution.

I'll go easy on you later.

Thanks to Professor Hwang's recommendation, I became a data miner

and Jung Hyuk became a detective.

Mr. Dong Jin, the result came out.

Our lives were so busy

that we couldn't meet often.

Madam Oh. Are you watching me?

How did you know I was going home now?

Oh, dear!

Are you getting off work now?

There's quite a lot of work.

How about dinner?

I ate already.

But Mom, why did you call?

Son,

I am quite sick.

Then you should go to the hospital.

The doctor says

that I am quite ill,

and I should come up to Seoul…

Don't worry too much, it's nothing serious.

Should I come to you?

Hello!

You arrived.

Mom.

Mom's illness

worsened rapidly.

How is it?

Does it suit me well?

It's so beautiful.

You've hidden it well, haven't you?

Yes.

I've hidden it well.

Well done, let's go.

Let's go.

Mom, cheers.

It's fun. It feels

like I'm getting younger.

Is there anything else you want to try?

Will you do everything?

Of course, I will. Anything.

A trip around the world.

Would that be okay?

Just get well soon, Mom. Not just a trip around the world,

I'll even send you on a space trip.

Ah. It would cost a lot of money.

You say it because you don't know, but your son is doing incredibly well.

I'm also making a lot of money.

I guess I should have attended church a bit.

Now that it's come to this…

Now that death is near, I have regrets.

Whether it's God or whatever,

who knows if there's something…

Who says anyone's dying? Stop saying that.

Son,

let's start wrapping things up now.

Put the house and the shop up for sale too.

You'll be all better and return home soon,

so why do that?

Do it while you can.

It's better for me, too.

And less troublesome for you.

Still,

how blessed we are.

Blessed with what exactly?

What blessing do we have? You being sick?

Is this a blessing?

But still, we have

some time.

Time.

Unlike your father,

who left all of a sudden.

Dong Jin,

I want a flower decorated bier.

A flower bier?

You promised, didn't you?

I did?

When you were five years old, maybe.

Ms. Yang from the neighborhood passed away,

and she went to the cemetery in a flower bier.

And while staring at that,

you asked, "Mom, what is that?"

"Dong Jin, that is

a flower palanquin taking that lady to a picnic in heaven". And then,

you asked, "did Dad also take that to heaven?"

while staring intently at me.

"Yes."

"Dad also went to heaven riding that."

"So when Mom goes to heaven later,

I'll make sure to send you in a flower bier."

"I will make sure to do that for you."

How cute that was.

I don't remember.

These days, they just finish up quickly with makeup.

The romance is gone.

I will

go on my last journey,

taking a gorgeous and pretty flower bier

to go meet your father.

You'll do that for me, right?

They say she is very sick?

Yes.

Gods. Such a thing…

It really breaks my heart.

Ms. Oh Mi Sook is truly a good person.

Even the heavens are indifferent.

For the time being, leave the house and the shop.

The house is fine.

Why, if the house is vacant, it would be hard to manage.

It's alright.

Okay, then.

Down there, at the base of Mount Gurae,

that 500 pyeong. Ah! That's right!

What will happen to that house then?

Huh? That house? Which?

You know, there's another house.

Something about the witch's house.

Jung Hoon saw to it.

Ms. Oh Mi Sook bought the house and field that nobody wanted.

Probably, because she's a truly nice person.

But you didn't know?

This is good, right?

If it puts you at ease,

try believing it.

It's the wager of a mathematician named Pascal, an apologetic argument.

After all, whether God exists or not, the probability is 50-50, right?

But if you insist on not believing,

won't you be punished after death?

As I didn't go to college,

I don't understand what this means.

It's dynamics.

It's better to believe it.

So,

does it exist, or not?

Believing it exists is advantageous, both mathematically and logically.

So,

does it exist, or not?

Ah, Mom,

no mathematician is certain.

There's no such thing as absolute certainty in the world,

since there's always a possibility of exceptions.

It's hard, too hard.

But Mom,

about Park Mi Jeong's house…

Why did you do that?

Because the reason

why the kid was chased away from our hometown

was me.

Jung Hoon, don't do that.

You've just been listening to this idiot spouting nonsense?

How can you do this, when we have been living in the same neighborhood?

Do you think only your child is precious?

Jeez!

What's going on?

Oh, unnie!

All the young men are bewitched by Jung Hoon's daughter.

Oh, c'mon!

Don't you know the rumors are rampant even among Midong High School kids?

So many boys have been hurt by her.

Isn't your son also a student in Midong High School?

That's right, a third-grader.

Your son should be careful and stay single, too.

Ah, you're right.

- Goodbye. - Yes, goodbye.

Oh, dear! Jeez!

As if being a high school senior is some kind of official position.

When will these kids grow up?

[Strategy meeting, The future of Park's family in Jeongun-ri, Midong]

- Need to do it. What nonsense? - It's not.

Jong Soo was randomly bitten by a snake,

and there's no proof saying it's because of that girl.

Well, to go this far is a bit…

Gods, Mr. Young Chul. When did all the strange occurrences in the village start?

Didn't you say it was because of that kid?

- Why are you changing your words now? - No. When did you…

Look at this guy, trying to back out in such a crucial matter.

Mr. Young Chul,

you don't remember my Hyun Kyu?

It's so upsetting.

It's all to make Midong

a good place to live, isn't it?

You all have lived in this neighborhood for a long time, haven't you?

This place is so great.

I am on my own.

You've helped so much with raising Dong Jin too.

But because of such an unlucky kid,

aren't you upset that nasty rumors about witches are spreading around?

Of course, I'm upset.

My kid, our kids.

We have to protect them, don't we?

We must protect them.

Let's at least take a look at her face. What on earth does she look like anyway?

What does she look like? She probably looks very lady-like.

Our Hyun Kyu has also been hurt by wild boars because of her.

Miss! Come out!

What's the matter?

Shall we talk for a moment?

Yes.

Well, that's…

Look at that look in her eyes.

She's got the look of a person, a real person.

You, stay away from Yu Ri and Hyun Kyu, got it?

Stop it already.

I'm sorry. I…

I will leave.

You're not just saying that, are you?

No.

There has to be a way.

It doesn't seem like the time for idle talk.

Just go ahead. Unnie, hurry and go.

Go.

Where are you trying to go?

Ah. To the terminal.

The terminal downtown?

How do you plan to get there?

It's the road I walk every day, so it's fine.

Just get in. I'll take you there.

I'm really okay.

Okay? What's okay about it? It's quite a distance to the terminal.

Do you have any relatives or someone?

No.

Then, do you have a decent place to stay or something?

I don't.

Thank you.

For being so good during this time. And for giving me a ride.

I'm sorry. Because of me…

Just like you.

She was just a young child like you.

I drove that girl out of our hometown.

And so…

So, you bought Park Mi Jeong's house?

I heard it wasn't sold for a while.

I thought I'd see her face under the pretext of signing the contract

and was planning to apologize.

I wanted to ask her to come back.

But, she didn't show up.

I didn't know that night would be the very last.

So,

when I heard that the child wasn't a witch,

I was so relieved.

You said it, didn't you? That she couldn't be a witch.

My smart son, you calculated it all with arithmetic.

Living through life,

it's strange how sometimes

people end up meeting each other.

Mysteriously, those moments happen.

So, even I once

wondered if I would see her again.

I had that expectation.

The people we must meet,

we will definitely meet them again.

Dong Jin,

if you happen

to meet that girl again, make sure

to apologize

for me, understand?

Thank you, Mom.

Mom,

I love you.

Did you contact all the relatives?

What about her friends?

I have to contact them now.

Give me the contacts and I'll call them.

Thank you.

I

liked my dad's camera, you know?

The one that uses film.

I used to take photos of friends all the time.

Stray cats, trees too.

Clouds as well.

But,

I never took a photo of my mom.

Not even once.

I've never taken a picture of my mom.

Why is there not a single picture of my mom?

Ah, really…

Ah, it's funny.

Why do I find this so funny?

Even though I loved taking photos so much…

there isn't a single photo of my mom alone. Not even one.

My mom was a good person.

Not to everyone, though.

Mom was a good person.

After the funeral,

while sorting out her things,

I found things that belonged to her.

Things I had discarded at her house,

like reports and books,

which Mom had brought back.

Reports on mortality, the structure of the existence of witches.

Reports with terms she did not understand.

How much did she read?

It was covered with her fingerprints.

Mom might have believed in my flawed statistics claiming she wasn't a witch,

or so I hoped.

Living through life,

sometimes,

people end up meeting each other.

Mysteriously, those moments happen.

The people we must meet,

we will definitely meet them again.

I really feel like I've received your affection.

Nobody knows.

From this moment, I wish I could disappear.

You might really be a witch,

but never a demoness.

Like Mom's earnest words,

I will certainly

prove that you are not a witch.

I found somewhere I want to go.

When do you plan to move in?

As soon as possible.

If it's urgent, it's possible right away.

But not here, at our house.

Who are you looking for?

- Excuse me? - Who are you looking for?

In Taebaek, where me and that girl lived,

I will try to find a clue to break the curse that's been cast on her.
