  • Witch’s Court: I love this couple together, and how they’ve settled into this playful vibe, and how she’s the one pestering him about liking her and he enjoys her reaction when he won’t play to her script. The cases are still completely forgettable, but as long as the characters remain at the center, I enjoy this.

  • Witch’s Court: Badass Yi-deum with her crafty Machiavellian tendencies was awesome. Heart-eyed Yi-deum who pursues her love target with the same unabashed straightforwardness is even more awesome. It’s refreshing to see a K-drama where the heroine is so clearly the more aggressive pursuant, because it takes out all of the unnecessary misunderstanding tropes that are so common in dramaland.

  • Witch’s Court: Episode 8witchscourt8-00022a.jpg

     

 

 

As our heroes both face shocking revelations that threaten to subvert everything they thought they knew about their loved ones, another evil rears its ugly head while their original foe only seems to grow more sinister. On the upside, our heroes aren’t alone and as the saying goes, things have to get worse, before they get better, right? Right?

 

 

 

EPISODE 8 RECAP

 

WC08-00005.jpg

 

 

 

Having found Yi-deum in her office, gaping at the diagram she’s created on Jo Gap-soo, Prosecutor Min tries to dismiss her. But Yi-deum declares that one of the women on the screen is her mother and pulls out an old photograph of her and Mom, placing it in front of Prosecutor Min. The two women stare at each other under the weight of this new revelation.

 

Meanwhile, Jin-wook’s discovery of Baek Sang-ho’s business card in his mother’s office triggers his memory and he recalls that Sang-ho had been the officer he’d spoken to as a high schooler. The pieces start to fall into place as he thinks back to his mother and Sang-ho in the elevator, just as Dr. Ko returns and he instinctively hides the card behind his back.

Dr. Ko’s pleasant smile falters as Jin-wook reveals the oddities he’s uncovered with Kim Mi-jung’s medical records. Almost desperately, he suggests that perhaps someone had tried to falsify the records in order to lock the woman away and steal her money, but Dr. Ko remains silent so he asks pointedly if she has anything to say to him.

 

Back in her office, Prosecutor Min tells Yi-deum that back in 1986, while working as a police detective, Jo Gap-soo had sexually tortured factory women who’d gone on strike. Due to lack of evidence, he’d been acquitted and the next day the main witness died. Then Mom, the only victim she’d been unable to find, had called saying she had a tape with Jo Gap-soo’s confession, and Prosecutor Min had rushed to meet her. Unfortunately, she encountered Jo Gap-soo instead and afterwards Mom went missing.

COMMENTS

 

Oh no! I really liked Soo-ah and I had been hoping that by some miracle our team would manage to save her. Seeing that pink sock at the end really drove a knife through my heart because, although brief, Soo-ah and Yi-deum had such a lovely connection and it would’ve been nice to see Yi-deum help Soo-ah see that she had other options.

 

 

 

Tae-gyu seems to be the true culprit, throwing Min-ho under the bus once again, but I can’t say that I feel all that bad for Min-ho. I by no means want him to pay for Tae-gyu’s crimes while that weasel gets away with it, but Min-ho can’t deny his own culpability. It’s not like Min-ho doesn’t know the kind of jerk Tae-gyu is, and yet he continually chooses to hang out with him. This time, he even helped him dump a body! And for what? In return, all he gets is Tae-gyu’s derision and a ticket to prison. I do hope Tae-gyu gets his just deserts but Min-ho needs to learn a few lessons as well.

 

It would seem that after a two-week break, we’ll likely be returning to the courtroom next week which surely means we’ll be seeing more of Lawyer Heo. She hasn’t had much to do during this time and I’m happy that we’ll be getting to see a bit more of her because while I despise her as a person, she makes for an interesting character.

 

WC08-00091.jpg

 

I am curious to see what Jo Gap-soo will do in regards to Sang-ho’s request. Sang-ho has served him faithfully for the past two decades, but helping to clear Min-ho’s name puts Jo’s nephew at risk and although I don’t see any love lost between that particular family, scandals like murder can hurt an election…

 

As for his standoff with Yi-deum, I couldn’t have been more proud of our girl! Yi-deum is such a spitfire and can’t take a hit lying down. I love that rather than mope about and roll around in denial, she immediately went out and confronted her demon. It’s disappointing that things didn’t turn out well despite her brave efforts, but she’s not one to let a setback get her down and despite Jo’s dirty tactics, she took it in stride. Yi-deum understands how to prioritize and the most important thing to her is figuring out what happened to Mom and bringing justice to the ones responsible.

 

We were pretty light on the romance this episode, which I can’t help but be bummed about (was anyone else shouting when Jin-wook pulled his hand back?). After all the fun last episode, it was kind of a letdown to take a step back but in exchange, we delved into the dark underbelly of the drama a bit more. A lot of secrets are coming to the surface and our heroes are zoning in on Mom, Hyungjae group, and Jo Gap-soo. I only hope we get back to more kisses soon!

Jung Ryeo Won And Yoon Hyun Min’s Relationship Takes A Cold Turn In New “Witch’s Court†Stills 

 
 
Jung-Ryeo-Won-Yoon-Hyun-Min.jpg&key=d525

 

 

On November 6, KBS drama “Witch’s Court†released stills of Ma Yi Deum (played by Jung Ryeo Won) and Yeo Jin Wook’s (played by Yoon Hyun Min) ice-like meeting.

 

In the first set of stills, Ma Yi Deum gives Yeo Jin Wook a frigid, harsh glare, and the latter looks flustered at the former’s completely different attitude towards him.

 

In the second set of stills, viewers can see Ma Yi Deum return to the version of herself in the beginning of the drama, when she said, “Let’s not have anything to do with each other.†True to her words, after sending Yeo Jin Wook the cold look, she passes by him wordlessly. Many are wondering if they will be able to recover the relationship that they slowly built together through solving cases or if they will merely return to their original dislike.

 

 

Yoon-Hyun-Min-1.jpg&key=486e31a7229497c8Yoon-Hyun-Min-2.jpg&key=29ab4f5bc84fdbcb

 

 

Previously, the two worked together to find Ma Yi Deum’s missing mother Kwak Young Shil (played by Lee Il Hwa). As they dealt with shocking truths as well as their case victim’s death, many viewers are curious as to how their relationship will develop in the future.

 

A source from the drama stated, “There will be a huge change as the Kwak Young Shil case will have a huge effect on Ma Yi Deum and Yeo Jin Wook’s relationship.â€

“Witch’s Court†Forewarns Intensifying Conflicts In New Stills

 

 

Jung-Ryeo-Won1.jpg&key=f9aaba911142842c7

 

 

KBS2’s “Witch’s Court†has released stills of confrontations between Ma Yi Deum, Yeo Jin Wook, and Min Ji Sook.

 

In the previous episodes, Ma Yi Deum (Jung Ryeo Won) was shocked upon realizing that her mother Kwak Young Sil (Lee Il Hwa) was a victim of sexual torture led by Jo Gap Soo (Jun Kwang Ryul). She set out to confront Jo Gap Soo and declared a war on him, vowing to reveal his evildoings. Yeo Jin Wook (Yoon Hyun Min), on the other hand, became confused after catching Go Jae Sook (Jun Mi Sun) lying about her relationship with Jo Gap Soo’s secretary Baek Sang Ho (Heo Sung Hae).

 

The released stills show Ma Yi Deum and Yeo Jin Wook each confronting Min Ji Sook (Kim Yeo Jin). Ma Yi Deum looks frustrated as she looks at her, but Min Ji Sook seems to remain unshaken with her arms folded firmly.

 

Yeo Jin Wook is also seen standing in front of Min Ji Sook with his hands behind his back. Unlike Ma Yi Deum, he looks pleading while she avoids his eyes, deep in thought. The pictures raise the question of what the two are talking about.

 

 

Witchs-Court.jpg&key=c4cf5b159f9ae1c07d6

 

 

 

The production staff of “Witch’s Court†shared that the upcoming episodes will feature both the murder of a teenager and the case of sexual torture by Jo Gap Soo, further intensifying the conflict between Ma Yi Deum, Yeo Jin Wook, and Min Ji Sook. “Please look forward to how they will approach the truths behind these two cases,†they added.

“Witch’s Court†Teases An Intense, Dramatic Court Battle In Upcoming Episode

CR.R. Jun

Z84NZatp8Ebj636456637804619396.jpg&key=a

 

 

“Witch’s Court†has teased an intense court scene for the upcoming episode on November 7.

 

In new stills released ahead of the episode, the trial regarding the murder of Gong Soo Ah (Park So Young) is under way. However, Ma Yi Deum (Jung Ryeo Won), who worked harder than anyone to uncover the truth behind the murder, is seated in the gallery as a civilian instead of next to Yeo Jin Wook (Yoon Hyun Min) as a prosecutor.

 

Without his partner, Yeo Jin Wook seems lost and flustered, as Baek Min Ho (Kim Kwon) makes a scene in the courtroom, yelling at his lawyer Heo Yoon Kyung (Kim Min Seo) and pointing and yelling at Ahn Tae Kyu (Baek Chul Min), who manipulated evidence against him.

 

A source from “Witch’s Court†said, “Today (November 7) is the trial of Baek Min Ho and Ahn Tae Kyu, who have been at each other’s throats. The court battle will be tense and suspenseful, so please tune in to see how Yi Deum and Jin Wook handle the case.â€

  • Witch’s Court: Episode 9WC9_00424.jpg

 

A shift of focus to the bad guys today reveals that there may be trouble amongt even the strongest allies. The question is: How can you trust someone when you have seen how duplicitous and manipulative they are? On the heroes’ side, big truths come out today, which might feed old obsessions and insecurities. Yi-deum has always been a hothead, and now we’ll find out what happens when you really cross her.

 

EPISODE 9 RECAP 

We rewind to the night before, and an agitated Min-ho stops driving in a deserted area to haul Soo-ah’s battered body from the trunk. Soo-ah’s eyes flicker open, and Min-ho drops her, shocked that she is still alive. As Min-ho rushes to call an ambulance, a bored Tae-gyu pulls the phone away and warns his friend that everything they have done so far will certainly get them locked up.

A truck driver interrupts Min-ho, and Tae-gyu drops to the ground. Thinking quickly, Min-ho lies that he hit an elk, and the driver’s eyes notice the dark lump that is Soo-ah’s body (can he see that it’s a person?) and leaves. Before Min-ho can finish his call to the ambulance, Tae-gyu dispassionately kicks Soo-ah down the side of the hill, and orders Min-ho away from the scene. Min-ho reluctantly complies. Left alone, Soo-ah’s eyes slowly sink closed.

 

WC9_00052.jpg

 

The next day, Yi-deum and Jin-wook are sickened to find Soo-ah’s body. The officers show them Baek Min-ho’s ID card found at the scene of the crime, and the truck driver gives his testimony nearby.

Meanwhile, Sang-ho calls Min-ho and warns his brother he needs to get away immediately. Despite rushing to rescue Min-ho, Sang-ho arrives too late and sees Min-ho being escorted away in handcuffs by the police.

Desperate, Sang-ho turns to Jo Gap-soo and pleads for his help. Jo Gap-soo growls that he knew Tae-gyu was going to be trouble, but Sang-ho ignored all his warnings and tried to take care of Tae-gyu himself without coming to Jo.

 

WC9_00072.jpg

Sang-ho frantically admits that he was wrong all this time, and that it’s his fault because he mismanaged the Kingdom. Falling to his knees, Sang-ho begs, “Please, save Min-ho just this once.†Jo Gap-soo slowly turns around, and sighs. He decides, “Forget it. There is no need to kneel for such a thing. I know what Min-ho means to you. He is like a nephew to me too.â€

 

Jo Gap-soo promises a grateful Sang-ho that he will hire the best lawyer there is so that Min-ho will walk away without a scratch. At the morgue, Yi-deum and Jin-wook sorrowfully look on as Soo-ah’s grandmother stands beside Soo-ah’s lifeless body. Granny takes off her coat to lay it gently over her granddaughter, and pitifully explains that it’s cold out today. She pleads with Soo-ah to come home, but her sobs grow louder as reality hits. Breaking down, Granny wails, “I said I’m here. Don’t go. You can’t go. You should take me if you want to go. How can I live without my baby?â€

Devastated, Granny seizes Yi-deum’s hands and tearfully asks her to catch the people who did this to Soo-ah. Yi-deum silently nods her promise to the old woman, her bleak gaze returning to Soo-ah’s body.

The mood in the prosecutor’s office is somber as Jin-wook debriefs: At 8 p.m., the Eel talked with Min-ho, and an hour later Soo-ah and another girl, Hyun Ji-soo, were seen entering Hyungjae Hotel. Unfortunately, the prosecutors haven’t been able to find Ji-soo—another of the Eel’s teenage girls—so whether she is a witness or secondary victim is unknown.

 

witchscourt9-00012a.jpg witchscourt9-00017a.jpg

 

Jin-wook isn’t sure that Min-ho was solely responsible for Soo-ah’s murder, because the autopsy results show that Soo-ah had sex with two people the night she died, and evidence to indicate that she was raped. In addition, the evenness of the marks on Soo-ah’s face means it was probably a ring or knuckle duster that did the damage.

But, Jin-wook explains, what killed Soo-ah was being left out in the cold after she was beaten, which caused her to go into hypoglycemic shock. Prosecutor Jang sighs that Soo-ah might have lived if someone had found her in time, and Yi-deum hangs her head in guilt.

Prosecutor Min states that there may be two killers, not one, and counsels Yi-deum and Jin-wook not to get too emotional about this case because they need to find the culprit. Prosecutor Min finishes, “That is the best thing that you can do for the girl and her grandmother.â€

COMMENTS

Siiiiigh. I’ve avoided talking about Jo Gap-soo until now, but then an episode like this happens, and I’m forced to talk about Jo Gap-soo. Okay, here are my thoughts: He’s boring and takes up too much screen time.

To elaborate, I’m baffled as to why Jo Gap-soo and henchman Sang-ho get so much screen time while other elements of the story fall to the side. Someone needs to tell this show that if you’re going to focus on the villain, they need to be a twisty mastermind, or deliciously evil, or struggle with what they’re becoming. Something. Instead we’ve been given a man who thinks the key to his success is a hotel room. I wish that Jo Gap-soo’s story was more connected to the main one—which I thought was the point of Prosecutor Min’s character—but the show decided to focus on his political machinations instead. Even that could have been tolerable if they hadn’t made them cliched and terrible. My last big problem with Jo Gap-soo is that there is no compelling character development–he just reallllly wants to be mayor—so I don’t have any investment in this side of the story. For example, did anyone think for even one moment that he wouldn’t betray Sang-ho? I sure didn’t. I did feel (a bit) for poor Sang-ho today, though, which surprised me, but watching as he found out his whole world was a lie was undeniably rough.

 

The large majority of the emotional moments come from Yi-deum in this episode (though I did cry when Granny asked Soo-ah to wake up) and it has never been more clear how much of the heavy lifting has been done by Jung Ryeo-won. In this episode, Yi-deum seeks revenge for Soo-ah, has her fragile trust in Jin-wook broken, and after decades of searching learns of a way to find her mother. It would have been difficult to balance these elements correctly if Witch had actually focused on Yi-deum, but it didn’t even try, which is disappointing. Jung Ryeo-won is so marvelous that I could almost buy her bargain with Sang-ho, or fractured trust in Jin-wook, but the writing fell flat.

WC9_00183.jpg

Yi-deum has been so strongly characterized until now that I can see exactly why she would make the decision to betray Soo-ah and her promise to Granny—searching for Mom has consumed every part of Yi-deum’s life and that is her ballast when she is in emotional turmoil. Likewise, Yi-deum has been repeatedly rejected by society and failed by those supposed to help her, so it makes sense that she would quickly turn on Jin-wook. But we never quite saw these decisions being made, and it felt like we were filling in the gaps of Yi-deum’s emotional journey ourselves.

This oversight extends to Jin-wook as well, who was a particularly egregious victim of the show’s decision to focus on the bad guys. Our hero finally confronts his mother with her lies, and we weren’t able to linger on what this means to him at all. It does tie in nicely with the thematic focus on broken trust that runs throughout, and affects all our characters, but I would have liked to see a space for Jin-wook to process the bombshell. But because the pace was so fast, all the focus of the reveal is on Yi-deum, who seems to have turned to the dark side again (or for the first time?). Yi-deum’s growth last week was lovely to see, but her fledgling attempts at connection were dealt a staggering one-two punch this week—from Soo-ah’s death to Jin-wook’s “betrayal.†It’s no wonder that her newfound relationships couldn’t withstand her desire to find her mother, when all she was rewarded with was pain.

Nevertheless, it was still wrenching to see Yi-deum manipulating Sang-ho, and leveraging Soo-ah’s chance at justice with a deal. Unfortunately, this development also means the death of the blossoming romance between Jin-wook and Yi-deum. I unreservedly love our lead couple, and I’ll be sad if we are headed for separation and heartbreak. These two were so cute together, and I absolutely adored the intensity with which Yi-deum threw herself at Jin-wook. When Yi-deum knows what she wants, she fearlessly goes after it. While that was wonderful when she wanted Jin-wook, now that she doesn’t, I have a feeling she will be ruthless in cutting him from her life. Jin-wook’s face when Yi-deum told him that she doesn’t trust him any more was a little bit heartbreaking, but it doesn’t look like Jin-wook is about to give up on her any time soon. If Mom really is dead (and I’m not convinced she is) I just hope his trademark empathy will be enough to pull Yi-deum back from the dark places she might go…
