[Witch's Love]
This is a secret but actually, witches live in this world.
It's just that humans haven't noticed that.
Think about it.
When you meet someone whose skills you could never match, no matter how you put in the same time and effort.
When we meet them, we are mystified.
As if time has halted and our whole body freezes.
And we are pulled by this inconceivable power.
And we come to discover ourselves going towards them without self-awareness.

[Song Unni's Jangchung-dong Traditional Pork Feet]
Hello. How may I help you, Client?
Hello?
Hello? Hello?!
Pull out all of my money from all these.
Including the CDs. The savings. The insurance.
Don't leave even one penny and pull them all out now! Hurry!
Client, did we somehow make a mistake?
Just pull out when I said to pull out! Why so much yakking?!
When the weather's so hot already!
I'm sorry, Client.
If you would tell me what was the mistake, I will fix it right away.
That darn fixing! The crap with the fixing!
What use is it to fix it when I'm dead already?
Pardon?
This. This, this!
Don't you see this?
I was reading a magazine here and I thought I was going to bleed to death.
This. Is this a magazine or a weapon?!
Ack.
I could never entrust my precious money to a place with such sharp weapons!
Pull them all out completely!
All, without leaving one penny!
You don't take my words seriously?!
I said to pull them out. Pull out all my money!
I can't overlook this!
Come out, you Branch Manager!
Manager? Hello? Come out, Branch Manager!
- Client? - There's the manager, right? Tell him to come.
I know he's in there. I see him. Come out!
Seriously, Min Soo is really something.
How does he take that every single time?
If it were me, I would've quit a long time ago.
He's not even a permanent employee.
He must endure it because he's got something he can count on.
Count on?
Min Soo's dream is to marry the daughter of a self-employed parent who owns a building.
He just needs to bear through a bit more now.
Daughter of a self-employed parent who has a building. Who is that?
You're—
I'm the building owner.
What? Building owner?
What dog crap is that?!
So here, as you can see on the purchase contract.
As of the 18th of June, 2018,
this building and land ownership
is now under Director Ma Sung Tae here.
Well, I'm the owner of this place.
What's with the purchase contract and registry?
I've never sold this place.
Grandma, I think perhaps you're mistaken about something.
Look here, please. According to the registry,
this building and land owner is not you, Grandma,
but a Mr. Kim Chi Pyeong to Mr. Kim Dong Hyeon.
So that Kim Dong Hyeon is the grandson of Kim Chi Pyeong.
And Kim Chi Pyeong used to run errands at our place.
So he was our servant. Servant.
Sis!
It's here, Sis!
What use is all the talking all day? Here.
When we have the definitive contract here!
Words are useless with human beings.
They need to write it down in words and stamp on it.
What?
Why is this in this shape, Sis?
Well, if we don't have the contract, we can call a witness.
Hurry and call Kim Chi Pyeong.
Why, that old geezer! I'll just—
Three years ago, he passed away.
What?
What? Then the contract and the witness are all gone?
How can we show that this place is ours—
I will give you two weeks.
Please, vacate the building by then.
My business card. Please, call.
What—
When did he die?
Hey. Wait.
How can you just leave?
You've got more to say?
Vacate in two weeks? What do you mean?
Then you were planning on carrying out the business unauthorized?
Unauthorized? This shop is our shop.
My grandmas toiled in blood and sweat here for fifty years.
What to do though? I bought this building after saving money through blood and sweat too.
You're doing this because of what happened last time, right?
Last time?
Don't play dumb when you know.
That's not the proper expression, right? I'm the one who's more dumbfounded.
What crazy punk in this world
would buy a building and chase out the tenant over that?
Is that something someone with a common sense thinks of?
If you want to continue your business, then do it properly by paying rent.
Without rent, then at least put on an attempt begging on your knees asking me to spare you.
What? On my knees?
That's not the proper expression, right?
I'm the one more dumbfounded.
How much is it? How much is that little rent?
A deposit of a hundred thousand dollars and a monthly of twenty thousand dollars rent.
What?!
A hundred thousand dollars deposit and a monthly of twenty thousand dollars rent?
Why exactly are you doing this?
What do you mean by a hundred thousand dollars in deposit and twenty thousand dollars monthly rent?
I told you already.
If I don't resolve this, I will not be able to take a step forward from twenty-five years ago.
Do you really think there is a link between your incident twenty-five years ago and this place?
With those grandmas?
And with that girl that probably couldn't even crawl at that time?
It's not impossible.
They look like naive grandmas at one glance.
They seemed to be scammed from someone they know.
Do you believe those words, Secretary Kim?
Do you think they were lying?
Who knows what horrible things they were doing with their innocent faces?
You believe what you see is everything, don't you?
But is it really like that?
$1,000,000 in deposit and $20,000 monthly?
That old geezer, I just ought to—
Whether he is an old geezer or a ruined geezer, he's already dead.
What are you going to do?
Then... Why did he make this mess
and die without telling anyone?
Who nagged me to not believe humans until my ears bled?
That old geezer!
By the way, what should we do now, Sis?
Aren't we going to be kicked out at this rate?
Are you crazy? Do you think we'll get kicked out quietly like this?
Who are we?
That's right. You must have some kind of a solution, Sis?
Solution? What kind of a solution is there?
Let's just give them rent! We have no choices but to follow humans' rule, don't we?
One hundred thousand dollars are not that much anyway, right?
You've been in this business for over fifty years, you should have at least one hundred thousand dollars, right?
Aigoo! Of course, we do!
We should be over one hundred thousand dollars. We must be.
- We don't? - We don't?
- Not even a penny? - Not even a penny?
All this time we ate Luwak, Dom Pérignon and truffles.
Do you think I ate it all by myself? You also did.
How much did we eat then, Sis?
Aigoo, don't worry. I have a plan.
What kind of a plan, Sis?
For now, like humans,
we should get a loan and change our opening hours to 24/7
and be open on the weekends as well.
We'll appear on gourmet shows and VJs' broadcast.(Video Jockey, aka MTV)
We'll appear everywhere.
We should raise the soup-rice price.
We'll brown-nose to people who are complaining.
That way, we would make the store's rent.
What kind of a plan is that?
Then, how would we be different from humans?
We would be working overtime, be on special duty.
How are we different from humans who only work?
Ah, that...
Then, we could enjoy our lives in the evening so far,
not because we have magic but because we didn't pay rent?
[I came because I wanted to see you.]
[I'm good now that I see you.]
[You must be tired, so go sleep. Let's meet in our dreams.]
[I love you ❤]
[Prolongation of Opening Hours][10 a.m. to 10 p.m.]
[Soup-rice: Three dollars][Water is self-service]
[Soup-rice: Five dollars][Water is self-service]
Hey, hey! Let's close for lunch
and go to the bank. You should get ready, too.
What? Cho Hong already went to the bank.
What? Cho Hong?
Cho Hong!
You waited long, did you?
A customer wanted a loan, but didn't have all the documents, so I had to take care of that.
- A loan? - Yes.
What was the important thing?
Are we going to greet your grandmas?
Did you tell your grandmas about us? What time would be good?
Tell them to pick any time they like, I'll make time.
Order some tea first.
I have to go back. I left my seat to another employee.
Tell me. What do you want to say?
I-I...
Oppa...
His calculation was right. No way he can become a full-time employee without connections.
He pulled out a list of all the self-employed people with a building in this neighborhood
and chose the soup-rice restaurant delivery girl.
Ah, the girl who always comes to see Min Soo with her tray at lunch time?
He got a jackpot.
The store is doing well and she will be the only heir to it because she is one and only daughter.
On top of that, the store is theirs, so they don't pay rent.
They also wouldn't need a security deposit.
It's totally a piece of cake (to be rich).
Choi Min Soo's life is all set.
That... isn't a difficult thing. You didn't need to say it here.
You should've just called me.
But still, better to talk in person—
Oppa, are you okay? Why are you shaking so much?
Oh, I'm fine.
The air conditioning is... too cold.
Then, what documents do I need to prepare?
You said that there's a lot of documents involved in a loan.
That... I'll text you the details later.
But don't they have another real estate? Or even a land in the countryside, or on the mountains?
The business ran for more than fifty years... There has to be something.
- They don't. - Anything.
Nothing.
Still, if you look for it carefully...
Why did your grandmas... trust other people? This is the thing they shouldn't have trusted a person for.
H-how could they trust people?
W-Why did they trust other people like fools? Why? Why? Why!
Oppa... You really consider my problems as yours, do you?
I'm so thankful, Oppa.
I-I need to go back now.
I'll get up first.
Then, for the one hundred thousand dollars?
It's possible within two weeks, right?
I'll call you later.
[Bank]
We'd like to borrow just one-hundred thousand dollars.
Yep.
[Collateral: none ][Unemployed]
We can't.
We can't offer you a loan.
This way.
It's not like we want the money for nothing.
We're trying to borrow with interest, so why is it so complicated, Sis?
Sis?
Sis!
[ST Capital]
[Hundreds of Millions Possible][Big Money Welcome]
[Karaoke, Total Remodeling, Singing Studio, Billiards]
One hundred thousand dollars? Huh? One hundred thousand dollars?
If one hundred thousand dollars is too much, can you get us fifty thousand?
We'll be sure to pay you a hefty interest.
These grannies here.
Granny. You are not worth even fifty dollars.
Can we sell you grannies to an island (for sex-slave),
or sell your rotted organs (to make money)?
It would just cost us more money to dispose of the corpses.
- Corpses?- Corpses?
I think that was the funniest thing I heard this whole year.
She's ninety-three, and wants us to lend her one hundred thousand dollars.
So funny.
Sis, please take it easy.
Save me!
Is anyone there?
Hey, Ddong Pal!
Get up, punk. I'm dying.
Ddong Pal!
Save me!
After I flipped her just like this,
how could she flip me again? She must be a judo pro.
Director!
- If you want to attend the executive meeting this afternoon, we need to leave now. - Okay.
How is the Soup-Rice-House? Did you get any calls?
One hundred thousand dollars wouldn't be easy to obtain.
This.
This. This, this! You don't see this here?
Mosquito bites. You don't see?
I got bitten by a mosquito. Me!
When I was just trying to take some money out from the ATM today,
I thought I was going to die from encephalitis!
Just how bad does your hygiene management have to be for the mosquitoes to fly around inside the bank?
For real, inside the ATM where sacred money resides at that!
In a bank where my life is at risk,
how can I trust my money, which is more precious than my life!
Then... Just take it out or whatever.
What? What did you say?
My bad, Customer. Because our employee is still a contract worker,
he needs a lot of improvement.
Why would that darn mosquito do that to you?
I'll apologize on his behalf, so please settle down.
What are you doing? Get up and apologize already!
Why would the mosquito bite be—
This person! I said get up already and apologize!
My apologies.
What? What, what, what, what's this now?
Why are you suddenly kneeling down?
Are you making me out to be an abusive customer? Huh?!
Do I look like a demanding customer asking for an unreasonable thing?
Today, I'm absolutely not going to tolerate this!
Bring out the Branch Manager~! Branch Manager, Branch Manager!
Branch Manager. Branch Manager! Bring out the Branch Manager. I can see you over there.
Hello, Branch Manager. I know you're there. What do you mean be quiet!
Here, here. I'm here I said!
I'm saying the branch manager better come out here!
What's your problem today?
I heard you hooked the Soup-Rice-House daughter, is that why?
Soup-Rice House— Please, don't even mention the word 'soup'!
Even if you might quit later, make sure you do it after calming down Lady Song.
If we lose her, it will not only be the end of you,
but our bank as well!
Do you even know how much she has in there?
Oh, my heart~
Hello? Oh, Tae Hee's mom.
Oh, yeah, I've gotten all my stress relieved.
As they say accumulated water will spoil.
You have to turn it upside down periodically
to instill fear of money into their hearts!
Should I call it an education perhaps? Education?
Oh, yeah.
If you have some kind of stress, just take me with you.
If you take me, I can knock them out with a single blow...!
I wasn't saying that to you. Oh! There is a chironomidae here.(small delicate flies, resembles mosquitoes)
What is this? Why are there so many mosquitoes here?
What's this? Omo, omo, what's this?
What's happening? I can't stand this!
What's this? Why is this happening? Why? Why? Yah! Yah!
Go away! Go away! Get out of here, be gone!
Who is this?
Let go first. Let go.
It's hurting me~!
You went to see a financial adviser?
The person who went to see a financial adviser
is putting on a mosquito show in the middle of the road?
Why? Why didn't you just advertise, "I am a witch"?
I did go to see a financial adviser. I went...
and I met him. It worked out.
What? What? It worked out?
Of course~ He said not to worry. He said one hundred million will be loaned to us in two weeks.
Oh, my? For real?
Who is it?
Huh?
I mean... Who is giving us the loan?
Even without a collateral, one-hundred million? Huh?
Yeah, that's right?
Who can it be... It's him, the financial adviser.
So, I'm asking who is the person that you're saying is a financial adviser?
That... That—
- What? Boyfriend?- What? Boyfriend?
Well, that's how it turned out.
My Min Soo oppa is a really good person!
The kind of humans you're thinking about—
- What? Oppa? - What? Oppa?
It's true. He even feels bad about this incident as if it happened to him.
I could feel that he truly loves me.
- What? Love?- What? Love?
How long are you going to keep doing that? Are you the Silver Bell Sisters (Girl group in old days)?
- Goodness! - Goodness!
Ugh, seriously.
I seriously can't talk with you two.
Hey, hey. So, does he love you back?
- Of course. - What would he love about you?
- What?- To be frank, you don't have money nor the background.
On top of that, it's not like you're drop-dead gorgeous.
Even this Rice-Soup House... is about to be turned over to someone else.
Yet, he still loves you?
Do you think love can happen only under that kind of conditions and looks?
- Then, what makes love happen? - Then, what makes love happen?
Love is two souls meeting each other and creating a big bang.
- What? Big Bang?- Big Bang?
It's two lonely souls that have been wandering in the cold and dark spaces meeting each other
and giving birth to a new universe.
Although it's immensely beautiful,
and immensely mystifying,
no one can ever explain forever,
as to why it happened
or how it happened.
That's what love is.
Sis, what is she talking about right now?
I don't know. I have no idea what she's talking about.
But I believe they call this "nonsense".
Why are both of you so twisted?
- What? What?!- Come here.
What? What do you want?!
What's wrong with you?!
Look carefully. Are we still twisted?
If he is head over heels for you
and created a universe or whatever,
why is this like that?!
Although it might not be blindingly bright,
at the very least, it shouldn't flicker.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Humans are a gang of creatures that are incapable of loving
one another without reasons or conditions.
They're not that kind of species!
The generation that was capable of doing so ended long ago! What?
He'll take out a loan? He will?
You, listen up.
If you want to preserve the flickering magic you have left,
work hard at cooking and serving rice-soup.
For you, that's the quickest and most efficient healing method
to garner magic.
Love?
Sis!
It's yummy.
Wow. We finished up already.
One more?
Pig's feet are ready!
Thank you.
Do you need anything else?
- I'll call you when I need something else. - Okay, I got it.
- Alright, enjoy your meal!- Thirty dollars!
Okay! I gave you a bottle of soju for free, Unnie.
- Thanks for the meal!- Have a nice night!
Thank you for coming, goodnight!
Goodnight!
- Boss, I'll take care of it. - Excuse me.
- Yes? - One bottle of soju!
Alright, one bottle of soju.
Soju is here!
I haven't seen you around here before.
Ah, today is my first day working as a part-timer.
- You're handsome.- Thank you.
Do you need anything else?
I'll call you if I need anything else.
Alright, thank you. Enjoy!
[ Large size dish: $28, medium: $25, small: $10 ]
Thank you so much for today.
You can rest up now.
It's okay.
Customer, you're injured. I'll clean the shutters before I leave.
- You'll really do that?- Of course.
But, how are you so good at working?
Have you done this kind of job before?
I've done almost every kind of part-time job since I was in high school.
I used to work at a pig's feet restaurant too.
No wonder.
Tomorrow, bring the registration forms for the installment payments and insurance.
- Bring everything you have!- Pardon?
It's because I'm thankful.
I'm a woman who can't live indebted.
N-no, I really didn't come here expecting that.
I know, I know. It's because I need it.
I have no husband and no kids,
so money was all I could trust.
Bring them tomorrow, alright?
Thank you!
[Granddaughter of soup-rice restaurant: 6 messages]
By the way, you kept receiving messages since earlier.
By any chance, is it your girlfriend?
Sis, Cho Hong seemed out of it earlier.
She'll be okay, won't she?
If she can't get her head straight,
she'll end up like her mother.
Sis, how can you speak such cruel words?
What if Cho Hong hears?
Are you working late tonight too?
Call me even if it's late.
You're still not finished?
You must be having a hard time. Cheer up!
[Do you love me...(typing)]
[Please type your message]
[Director Ma Sung Tae]
Did you look into it?
Pardon? Ah, the missing person's case near the rice-soup restaurant on a rainy day?
Did you find anything?
I've looked into the police stations and the hospitals near the area but there wasn't much.
Are you sure you looked into it properly?
It's not a missing person's case...
Why? Did they find a corpse?
No, it's not that!
It seems as if the owner of a nearby chicken store stole some funds and ran off to China on that rainy day.
- China?- His car was found at the Incheon Airport so I'd assume that he left for China.
So only a car was discovered
and not the person?
This is the draft we are going to place on the internet and newspapers for our new instant cup-rice series.
They requested of your prompt approval because they're running out of time to meet deadline for ad.
I told you to rewrite the story during the last meeting, didn't I?
The writer isn't in Korea right now.
What?
I heard that he went on a vacation to Myanmar to get inspiration for his work.
I will find him and have him write a new story no matter what.
I reek?
I don't even smell...
Even humans use a type of magic called a "chef's knife".
What is this?
No chef knives, no MSGs!
If that's the case, then what's the use of garnering magic?!
Does she still seem mad, Sis?
Why is this damn radish so thick?
Soup-Rice Place
Hello?
- Really? You really love me? - Min Soo?
Do you think that I'll change my phone just because you love me?!
The person you're attempting to reach is not available right now...
What is she doing?
Hello?
Aunt, it's me. What are you doing that you're not picking up your phone?
Who is this?
What are you talking about? It's Jae Wook.
Who is Jae Wook?
You're making me upset! The rooftop room on Building 63-1.
Building 63-1—
Who?
Gguk Ssum.
- Gguk Ssum...- Gguk Ssum...
I'll arrive in about an hour. Deliver some food for me.
The passcode is the same so you can just come in.
Ah! You know, right?
Two servings that doesn't seem like two servings but it's one serving that seems like two servings.
My annoyance is rising...
Why? Did he ask us to deliver two servings that doesn't seem like two servings but is one serving that seems like two servings again?
Seriously...
Can we just refuse deliveries for single servings?
Huh? Is this the time for you to discriminate between customers?
You can just stop by his place!
Whether it's one serving or two servings, why does it matter?!
You still can't comprehend our situation? Hurry!
Yes, Ma'am...
Oppa Min Soo?
[Open House: 4 p.m. - 2 a.m.]
[Oppa Min Soo]
[Soup-Rice Place grand daughter]
What? Your company?
No.
Didn't you just hear something?
What sound?
I heard it. You didn't hear anything?
No!
You know the webtoon writer I told you about earlier? The one who went on vacation to Myanmar.
I heard that he's back in Korea.
I told him to rewrite it as soon as possible so it will be done soon.
I heard that the writer lives somewhere in this area.
If we just go a bit further up, it's the Rice-Soup Place.
I'm hungry. Should we stop by? Ah...
The Six o' clock store. (Because it closes at six sharp.)
That restaurant closes at 6 p.m.
Stop the car.
Pardon?
Stop the car!
Director!
Where are you going?!
It's a hundred thousand dollars down and twenty-thousand monthly rent!
It seems you're quite drunk. You should leave now.
This neighborhood seems dangerous.
I'm tired. Let's go.
Okay. Come on.
Nothingr is more dangerous than a person.
Why are human beings like that? How come their words are different than how they feel?
How come they say they love you but they don't?
Let's go. Okay?
Human beings are all the same! Always on the look out.
Waiting to stab us on the back! Kim Chi Pyeong was the same.
Choi Min Soo is the same too!
Yeah, and now I see you're human too, right?
You're all the same too!
Then you're not human?
What if someone hears you!
What?
That I am a witch.
Hey, wake up.
Hey. Hey.
You've fainted? You're asleep?
Don't even dream of it! No way will I carry you on my back like some drama or movie.
I am definitely not someone who lends out my back.
I'm not going to get involved whether you're dead or not.
I'm leaving. I'm really leaving, I said.
Nothing.
Light. She's light.
Hey.
Hey. Wake up.
I really think we're on the wrong street.
I was sure it was here somewhere though.
Why is it so dark here anyway?
What?
♫ Is there something wrong in me? ♫
♫ Why does my heart keep jumping? ♫
♫ Inside my heart which I have kept it hidden secretly ♫
♫ somehow you've entered in ♫
♫ On a day I met you by coincidence ♫
♫ I've fallen for you like this ♫
♫ I want to fall asleep and wake up in your embrace ♫
♫ And I will be jealous of no one in the world ♫
♫ Give me your love, yes, please ♫
Will you be able to actually drink water today doing that?
♫ And that love ♫
You...
But you're a witch!
Who said I was a witch?
♫ Give me your love, yes please ♫
What? Old hag? Old hag?
You say whatever you want with that shabby mouth of yours? What? Old hag?
Old hag. Old hag!
Welcome.
Hey, stop right there, punk! How dare you mess with my wife!
Move. Move!
I'm going to kill you!
