The actress Noh Jeong-ui's portrayal of "The Witch" has welcomed a warm spring.
With a fantastic combination of writer, director, and actor, the Channel A drama "The Witch" concluded on the 16th, and actress Noh Jeong-ui, who played the role of "Mi-jeong"—known as "The Witch" due to the reason that everyone who loves her gets hurt or dies—offered a warm greeting.
As her loved ones got hurt or died, Noh Jeong-ui expressed the growing guilt and pain of Mi-jeong, who was becoming increasingly dry, realistically, earning the sympathy of viewers. Mi-jeong, who even had to say goodbye to her father Jong-soo (Ahn Nae-sang), was forced to leave her hometown amidst the resentment of the townspeople, and Noh Jeong-ui's vacant gaze added to the immersion.
As the drama reached its conclusion, Noh Jeong-ui's emotional acting deepened, eliciting admiration. In particular, during episode 9, when she received a video letter from her hometown friend Dae-eun (Kwon Han-sol), who had accused her of being a witch, she began to tear up and briefly washed away the pain of the past with her sobs. At the end of the drama, Mi-jeong received an apology from Dae-eun and confronted Dong-jin (Park Jin-young), who had devoted himself to clearing the misunderstanding of her being "The Witch." There, Mi-jeong spoke of a last variable, saying it is okay if someone loves her but does not leave her side, confirming each other's feelings. This ending, where they saved each other, left viewers with a touching emotion as they identified with the two.
Expressing a complex array of emotions throughout the drama, Noh Jeong-ui shared heartfelt thoughts as she bid farewell to "The Witch." She said, "I couldn't believe that the farewell to 'The Witch,' which I thought would never come, is now real. However, I am so happy that I was able to meet a work called 'The Witch' and a friend named 'Mi-jeong,' which will remain a precious memory. 'The Witch' is a truly meaningful work for me, and it is bittersweet to part with it. Nevertheless, thanks to viewers who loved and enjoyed the drama, I feel I can send it off with good feelings." Finally, she offered warm greetings: "I thank everyone who worked hard for 'The Witch' to be released and concluded in this way. I will come to meet you in various forms this year. Please look forward to and love me a lot!"
Through "The Witch," Noh Jeong-ui revealed deep emotions that she had not shown before and demonstrated her growth as an actress. There is curiosity about what emotions she will deliver in her upcoming diverse works.
Meanwhile, Noh Jeong-ui will return to the small screen with MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Crushology 101" on April 4. Consequently, attention is drawn to Noh Jeong-ui's appearance as the character "Bani," which contrasts with Mi-jeong from "The Witch." The premiere of "Crushology 101," starring Noh Jeong-ui, will be on Friday, April 4, at 9:50 p.m.
