[Episode 8]
Not the man of your destiny but a different man?
You couldn't find your destined man?
I did find him, of course. That's why I'm all well.
But why do you love a different man?
No, I mean, it's not quite love yet.
I mean, just in case that happens, what will happen?
I can't, right?
- You trust humans?- Pardon?
What do you suppose humans hate the most?
An existence superior than them? An existence inferior?
An existence stronger than them?
It's the existence different than themselves.
Precisely that of us, witches.
Humans, in the end, cannot accept the truth different from them.
Falling easily into jealousy, horror, disgusted, disregard.
When they find out the other person is different from self,
those are the emotions the humans show.
Even if he finds out the truth that you're a witch, will he love you?
Even if you live your whole life in trepidation hiding that you're a witch,
the numerous temptations will falter him.
And whenever that happens, your power will dash from you.
And in the end,
however, your destined man is different.
Regardless of the numerous temptations in life, he will not falter.
His constant and unchanging love will go to you.
Even if he finds out you're a witch, I mean.
Now, the after service ends here.
Do you know what dumb witches like you don't know?
What?
Witches like us are an existence to receive love. We are not an existence to give love.
The dummies who don't know this simple truth.
They mimic humans and spatter around love.
But in the end they come to me and whine.
So annoying and pesky.
You're a witch. If you love no one,
you on't get any hurt.
Keep that to your heart.
Hwang Cho Hong, listen up clearly.
I like you.
So you try and like me too.
I'm not so bad as a man and you'll never regret it.
I vouch for myself, I mean.
How did this story get to this?
♫ Why does my heart keep on jumping? ♫
♫ Inside my heart which I've kept hidden ♫
♫ you've come in somehow ♫
♫ One day I met you by coincidence ♫
♫ And I've fallen for you like this ♫
♫ I want to fall asleep and wake up in your embrace ♫
♫ With no one for me to be jealous of in this world ♫
Is this the beginning of a romance?
♫ A little bit of yours ♫
♫ That love keeps me breathing ♫
What? What did I do?
Did I date or did I hold his hand?
I only kissed him twice so what's there to agonize over?
Was it three times?
Four times?
I don't know.
Be cool and end it.
He's the building owner and I'm the tenant.
He's human and I'm witch.
He's got the road he's got to go on and I've got mine.
Be cool.
That's nice.
♫ Give me your love, yes please ♫
♫ The moment our eyes meet ♫
♫ I've fallen in your love ♫
[Soup-Rice Place Investigation Report]
It can't be deciphered who her parents are.
But they said one day suddenly the sound of a newborn was heard at the soup-rice place of the grandmas.
So it seems likely that she was adopted by them.
Before she even started elementary school she started to carry the soup-rice trays.
In today's terms that's considered child abuse.
But since the grandmas are from old era,
they probably didn't have the concept of child rights.
Omo, Cho Hong.
You can't do that. You'll stand out.
Cho Hong, want to go upstairs to play with Granny?
Where there aren't humans around so we can be normal?
So cute, our Cho Hong.
What shall we play with?
We don't have time so cough it up.
- I can't. This is my tuition money.- I can't. This is my tuition money.
If we tell you to cough it up you cough it up, but you're just asking to be hit.
Jackpot!
What?
This is really my tuition money.
Return the wallet to its original place.
What's that ***?
She's the forced transfer student in our class.
Forced transfer?
You want to croak? When you're a forced transfer?
Hurry and go.
This ****! Want to croak?
Let go.
This #***!
Staring? Lower that gaze!
What's happening?
I don't know. What's happening?
Mom!
Ack!
Stopped.
Let's live quietly.
What's her? Is she a monster? A witch?
Mom!
Are you alright?
Since elementary school to high school, she was forced to transfer a total of 12 times.
She was forced to transfer to different schools.
While on indefinite suspension, the fall before high school senior year,
she ends up settling on ending her student life as a dropout.
So her level of education is basically middle-school graduate.
Director, you should get off work.
[Soup-Rice Place Investigation Report]
Is it because of the miss from the soup-rice place?
At age 25, it's such a prime youthful age.
No parents and no siblings and no relatives.
Not even a friend that's so common. For 25 years.
Only spending all her days with the grandmas all day.
It's pitiful indeed.
I've only seen her as optimistic and strong.
♫ Mountain rabbit
Grandma!
Aigo.
My desk partner.
We decided to be friends starting today.
- You can't! - Why?
You have to transfer school tomorrow.
But I only started this school today.
I wish to train her to be the second athelte Jang Mi Ran.
Please just leave her to me.
We can't.
If you'll just leave her to me,
She'll for sure win the olympic gold medal.
But she's going to emigrate tomorrow.
- What? - To St. Petersburg.
Emigrate?
By chance, is this Cho Hong's home?
Cho Hong? She died.
Oh my.
I want to have a friend too!
Humans can have friends.
And they date.
I need to have contacts so I can develop my power too.
But you're already developing it like this.
Pile it up neatly.
Grab it.
That's right. Grab it. Grab ahold of it.
That's right.
This is the upcoming China trip schedule and documents to look over.
Then, have a restful weekend and see you on Monday.
Where are the grandmas?
Asleep.
Rest then.
- What? - Did I do something wrong again?
Nope, nothing like that.
- But what's wrong? - Just.
Are you crazy?
What if we get caught?
What? Did something happen?
But why?
Just. I wanted to hug you.
So unnecessarily tender.
Even if he finds out the truth you're a witch,
will he love you?
What's wrong?
I'm sorry. I just don't feel well.
Then, rest up.
Why is he so sweet?
Why is he handsome?
Why is he warm, I mean!
That jerk I first met.
That rude and pesky jerk.
How great was that?
Why is he so friendly now?
Nope, you can't, Hwang Cho Hong. You get a grip!
You definitely can't! You can't go through that hell a second time.
That man isn't your destined man.
If you're doing this, do it properly.
Ack.
Why is he so good at kissing too though?
- Are you alright?- I'm a-alright.
How are you alright? Your face is so red. Wait.
And you're feverish too.
This won't do. Get up. Let's go to the hospital.
What hospital? I'm really alright.
I just have a bit of a cold.
I'll be fine after some sleep.
Don't worry about others.
If you're sick, say you're sick. Being sick is not a wrong.
Worry about others?
It's only been a few days since you fainted and went to the ER.
You went out and made deliveries today too, right?
No, it's not because of that I'm feverish.
Did you always hold it in like this the whole time growing up?
Now you have me so don't hold back.
I don't like you being sick.
No, it's not that --
Cho Hong, do you have mosquito spray in your room?
Did you hear that noise just now?
Noise? What noise?
I heard nothing.
Really? I heard something make some clang.
Grandma, you were looking for the mosquito spray, right?
Here, you use it all, Grandma.
No need to bring it back so spray it and go to sleep right away.
Aigo, what?
But Cho Hong.
Huh? What now?
Director Ma.
Huh? What about Director Ma?
Did he come in?
Come in where? But here?
No, I mean did he come home after getting off work?
Oh, of course he's back. I'm sure he's in. Wouldn't he have?
He's not a kid so what's there to worry?
You're saying you're through with what you want?
This is why they say one changes their attitude before and after using the toilet. You ought not be like that!
Kiss --
Grandma.
What's with her?
Let's get some sleep, alright? I'm so tired from delivering all day.
Go. Go.
Aigo, I got it so stop pushing.
Here. Let's go in.
Doctor, this way.
This.
This way.
What's that now?
What's all that now?
The miss here has a fever and erythema so our director said to give her a check up.
Check up? What check up?
I don't really understand it either, but that it could be contagious.
Contagious?
Director is heading off to China soon for an important business trip.
If he catches it by chance, it would be bad.
How is she?
She lost her consciousness and fainted not long ago too.
There's nothing really wrong.
I mean last night, she had fever and severe erythema.
It's my personal opinion, but I think you're the one who needs to have a check up.
What?
Excessively flippant, irritable, and ill at ease.
Your symptom of focusing all your nerves on one person.
- Nurse Jo? - Yes?
What's the name of the illness displaying such symptom?
I'm not sure. Love fever?
What? What's wrong?
Tell me the truth.
You and Director Ma are really nothing?
What relationship?
Try and fool a ghost instead, silly! I'm Jo Aeng Doo!
I don't know about other stuff but when it comes to love,
I'm the #1 of Cheongwoongak. Ace!
I have no idea what you're talking about at all.
Since when did it start?
Not long --
You're lucky Director Ma is your destined man then.
If it were the Soup Fellow or some other guy, I'll beat the crap out of you right away.
And send those guys on smuggler's boat to Buenos Aires.
It started after the kiss, right?
Love is like that.
When your body starts to pull at it, there's no brake.
That's so annoying!
You think I'm so dumb that I got taken by Golden Pelvis?
I knew very well but I had no choice but fall into it.
That's why love is a scary thing.
But what's there for you to worry when he's your destined man.
I'll keep it a secret from Sis, so enjoy to your fill!
Chew it and suck it and eat it up until it's gone.
That stuff only comes in times.
Grandma!
Nope. Please halt the investigation about the soup rice place for now.
I know it was probably confidential but there had to be some detectives on the case at the time.
I think we could get something if we pursue that route.
It's way past the statue of limitations so I'm not sure if any data are left. Yes.
Yes. Then, after I'm back --
What the heck!
I'm sorry. I'm sensitive about things coming up from behind.
Are you alright? Did you get hurt?
I'm alright, but I guess we can't do back hugs? That's been my long-time fantasy.
I'll work hard. But you're really not hurt?
So that's why you were like that the first time we met at the convenience store.
What's this?
That's --
I feel like I've seen something similar to this last time too.
Cho Hong, that --
I guess you weren't looking into it as the building owner. This is basically prying.
I have my reason. I'll explain.
What circumstances will allow me to comprehend this situation?
What? You needed data to see if I'm a woman suitable to you?
Since it's an economical method?
Jerk.
Sis! Sis!
Sheesh what's with the fuss!
Soup Fellow. Soup Fellow is here.
What? Soup Fellow?
Hey. What do you mean Soup Fellow?
What?
Cartoon.
Writer Hwang is here.
Writer Hwang? Me, Grandma?
It's so hot and how you're toiling making creative work.
What are you treating me this way?
Witch with the Ladle. When will Episode 59 be up?
What?
Nope, instead of doing this here, let's go upstairs.
We ought to get our Writer Hwang's health restored,
and hear about the work you're doing.
What? What a great idea, Sis!
Yep.
- Jae Wook!- Cho Hong!
Cho Hong, you hurry and close the shop and come upstairs.
Writer Hwang is going to tell us about
episode 59 of Witch with Ladle.
I will?
Witch with Ladle? 59th episode?
What shall we make for our Writer Hwang to wake up his appetitie?
Do you like eel? Or chicken and seafood soup?
Soup rice. Give me soup rice, please. Your soup rice is the best in the world.
Oh, what a pretty thing to say pretty thing only.
Huh? You haven't gone to work yet?
Oh. Yes.
It's Sunday today, Sis.
Oh.
What are you waiting for, Writer Hwang? Go that way.
Yes.
That way.
Yep. Sit.
I'll hurry and go down and prepare the soup rice.
Please just wait a bit, Writer Hwang.
The menu is the one serving that's not a three-serving but three-serving like.
What the? So much?
How are you so much the same as me?
What the?
What are you doing here, Director Ma?
Please give me too. Soup rice.
This isn't just sitting to eat.
- Today we invited Writer Hwang especially --- Give me the same.
The one-serving that is not three-serving but three-serving like.
I'll go then for Director Ma's soup rice.
I'll bring it up to your room quickly.
I'll eat it here. As you are aware, special clause #13-2.
I can make request for meals at any given time anywhere.
Well alright. Not like we don't have it.
Since the building owner is asking for it, we'll have no choice but to give him then.
What are you waiting for and not making the soup rice?
I'm going now.
It's so romantic!
So you couldn't forget our Cho Hong and longed for her daily.
And you materialize that longing as Witch with Ladle.
Where else would there be an ardent pure-heart like him.
What pure heart? Isn't that children's comic?
It's pure romantic comedy webtoon, you know!
So disgustingly unpopular too, I thought!
What do you mean it's unpopular!
It portrays our world
in such truth, this work of art.
Those humans don't recognize a work of art and --
Sis.
So what I mean is,
Writer Hwang's imagination is so outstanding.
That's what I mean.
All your imagination, right, Writer Hwang?
Of course. It's all about the imagination for a writer.
Yep, of course.
Plus Cho Hong is exactly a witch.
What's this nonsense.
Cute and lovely and beautiful and just.
Mysterious and something about her that draws people in.
Hey! Why do you talk so much while eating? Just eat.
Why are you like that?
I love the goosey hand and crinkling feet feeling.
It's because she's shy. I confessed to her I liked her.
What?
What the?
You did that?
Then Cho Hong, what did you say in response?
Yea, what did you say?
That --
What else? I told her to take her time to respond since I was afraid she'd reject me outright.
Everyone gets startled when they are confessed to suddenly.
- Take your time and think about it. - Nope.
I'll respond now.
Thank you but I'll decline.
For now, I'm going to quit men.
Sick and tired of men.
They act so tender to your face but behind you they dig up about you.
Not genuine. Split faced. Complete jerk.
How is it that all humans are the same like that?
Earlier at the terrace.
Director Ma and Soup Fellow. You saw their rivalry, right?
I did see it.
With her power back,
it's like all the dung flies are clinging over spoiled rice.
Men are nonstop to our Cho Hong.
How is that you talk like that?
Director Ma is handsome and I already knew that.
But today I see that Soup Fellow is no easy feat either.
Director Ma is like Brad Pitt.
Soup Fellow is like George Clooney?
Sis, do you like Brad or George?
I like Brad.
Honestly, Brad or George, on looks,
compared to my Delon oppa --
They don't even half of it.
What?
Which oppa?
Alain Delon oppa, I mean. Alain Delon.
His eye brows and nose.
What the?
You mean that dried up wicker-looking gramps that reeks of oldness?
What?
I don't know about other stuff but if you mess with my Delon oppa,
I told you I won't stand it.
What the, this old hag is senile now?
Old hag?
Old hag.
Come to my room for a moment.
Or should I go there?
I need to go to China for business trip early in the morning.
Even if it's for a short while, I want to talk to you in person.
When you said no more likes of men for you in the future.
You just said that out of anger --
Come out.
You said to talk.
Go ahead. A story or circumstances or excuses.
I'll listen diligently.
Just that don't think about lying.
I can tell lies really well.
When I was little I was kidnapped.
I returned three days later and the criminal wasn't captured.
The mister that was watching me suffered a car accident and has been in a coma for 25 years.
No one knows what happened during those three days.
The raining night. The knife pointed towards my heart.
Someone who was wearing a rain coat,
and also, the building with a pointy roof.
That's all I can remember.
And I thought the soup rice place was that building.
That's ridiculous.
So that's why I bought the building and as you said, I pried.
This is such nonsense.
Nonsense.
People deny my memory so easily.
Then what you were looking for that time on the shelf?
I thought it was my baseball ball. I had it when I was kidnapped.
Do you still think that now?
That our soup rice place is linked to that incident?
Are you saying you're suspicious of us?
Honestly, I don't know.
Even if you live your whole life in trepidation hiding the fact that you're a witch,
the numerous temptations in the world will falter him.
And whenever that happens your power will dash from you and in the end --
I wish you wouldn't look at me with those eyes.
Disappointed and distrust, your look.
So behind all the ways you behaved towards me all this time, that suspicions was behind them?
You know too that that's not true.
Polite and respectful but never giving away space by you.
You can't even trust anyone. All you trust is data, reports, and approval documents.
You never show others your sloppy, broken, or weak side.
Tightly guarded, strong, lonely,
and shaking in fear. So you're saying you've lived like this?
You can't even back hug.
I think I really like you.
♫ What has gone wrong ♫
I'm disappointed and can't trust you.
But my aching heart must come first.
♫ You came in my heart where I kept hidden ♫
♫ before I knew it ♫
♫ I met you by chance one day ♫
♫ and fell in love like this ♫
♫ I will fall asleep in your arms ♫♫ and wake up in your embrace ♫
♫ I won’t be envious of anyone in this world ♫
I'm out of my mind, aren't I?
This is crazy, isn't it? I shouldn't be like this.
Right?
♫ Give me your love ♫
♫ Yes, please. The moment our eyes met ♫
♫ I’m falling in your love ♫
When did that young lady become so pretty?
- Director.- Yes?
Was that young lady always that pretty?
She looks like a completely different person.
Is she considered pretty? I can't really tell.
Why are you staring at someone else's girl for so long?
What?
No. I mean why are you staring at her for so long if she isn't your girlfriend?
Secretary Kim, you have your own cutie.
Big deal. She doesn't have a boyfriend, right?
She probably does. Someone stunning.
No, no! She doesn't have one.
I know everything about that lady.
Wait a second. Dong Man said he didn't have a girlfriend.
What?
I noticed that the girl has a bad taste in men.
So I want to set her up.
Her face is pretty, but her eyes must be on the soles of her feet.
She only dates weirdos.
Director!
Are we not leaving? We're late for our flight.
You're so nosy about other peoples business.
Why is he like that? That's why he doesn't have a girlfriend.
Cho Hong.
It's her heyday.
We should make some broth since Director Ma went on a business trip.
When is Director Ma coming back again?
I'm not too sure.
Would our Cho Hong happen to know? When Director Ma is coming back?
I'm not sure. I think I heard him say in two nights and three days.
What? Do you have some kind of eye disease?
No. I think it's because I have a magnesium deficiency.
You eat like a damn food fighter,
but you're telling me you have a vitamin deficiency?
I'll make the broth after we close shop tomorrow.
So have everything prepared.
Okay.
It's hotter here than it is in Korea. What are you doing?
I miss you.
Why aren't you saying anything?
It means I feel the same way.
What an Ahjussi.
Are you butthurt?
You're so butthurt.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Go.
If we finished our schedule early, we should be able to tour the city and rest.
It's not like you have a pot of honey hidden at home.
Why must you take a red-eye flight?
Everyone at the soup shop is probably asleep at this time.
Wouldn't it be better to give them a call first?
No, it's okay.
Even if you're the owner of the building, you should have some common courtesy.
I'll figure it out.
I locked the doors, Hyungnim.
There wasn't anything suspicious?
There wasn't even an ant around.
And who cares if there is? We already locked all the doors.
Hurry up. It's not like there's anyone that would show up.
Okay.
♫ I can’t help but to hide it, oh my magic ♫
♫ because you've never seen it before ♫
♫ Unbelievable things ♫
Witch's Love
♫ happen everyday ♫
E-E-Excuse me. Aren't you Ms. Park who used to work at the store in Cheongyang village?
You're mistaken.
♫ Happy people ♫
♫ Can you tell me now ♫♫ Show me your heart ♫
Don't look for me for the time being, Sis.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Go!
Sir, are you bleeding?
