Witch's Love
It is commonly thought that witches can see fate,
but most witches do not believe in fate.
Rather, they mock humans who rely on fate.
But when pushed to a dead end,
they end up playing the "fate" card.
Ultimately, fate did not allow itself to follow the witches' plans.
What's the matter?
I need help.
Help?
My powers disappeared.
How did you know to come here?
Is there a witch who doesn't know about this place?
Witch?
What, witch?
Even you are a witch?
I heard everything would be resolved if I came here.
Can you bring back my powers?
Of course.
But,
first I should have an idea of what you have to offer?
This is the most expensive of what I have, left by my grandmothers.
You say you're a witch but acting like a human.
Why? This is so expensive. Each part was handmade-
Look at all the items here!
To humans' eyes, it may seem like useless trash,
but to me they are most precious treasures.
Items contain stories too.
They contain their past owners'
memories,
affection, tears,
and history, etc.
Those are the kind of items I want.
What story does the silver plate have?
What value does it hold to you?
If you desperately want something,
bring something that holds as much value to you.
Then, let's talk again.
Wait,
what's that?
It's nothing.
My mother's keepsake-
It's my mother's keepsake. It doesn't have any story since I can't remember her.
Are you okay?
I told you what I wanted, right?

#112, Witch with Soup Ladle, by Hwang Jae Wook
If the number of hits is still this low, we can't help
suspending the series.
But didn't the decline stop about a month ago?
Now it will trend up again, the story is on the right track.
It stopped decreasing because it could drop no lower.
Isn't it? Last place.
Did I make it too artsy?
Sometimes you need to communicate with the masses too, right?
Anyway, if it can't make it into the Top 100 by the end of the month,
regardless of story, it will be suspended!
Publication finished! Contract finished!
Our connection, also finished!
Today's meeting, finished!
Well, the story has to be finished, Editor!
Editor!
100th? It'll be fine if I get it there...
What's the big deal?
What disgraceful behaviour is this?
What do you plan on filming by installing that thing?
If you're uncomfortable, just don't enter this room.
What?
Then how do we clean?
You only need to clean here.
No, while cleaning,
you could drink water or listen to music-
That's why it's there, only to clean.
Don't do anything while I'm not here in the room.
Look at this guy, while I'm just looking on!
If you're uncomfortable about that aspect, we can annul this contract.
Ugh! There's nothing to be uncomfortable about.
Oh, I have quite a bit of luggage. May I use the storage?
Huh? Have you forgotten our contract terms?
The space that you can use
is the room, the living room, and the bathroom. Just those 3.
Especially the kitchen and the storage,
those areas are prohibited! Understand?
Do you understand?
This building is mine.
You might be the builder owner, but for as long as we pay rent,
you are just a boarder.
A person should know their place.
-Should know!-Know!
So there's secrets inside the kitchen and the storage.
You went too far with the CCTVs.
Did the young woman go somewhere? I don't see her anywhere.
How long has it been since the rose pattern disappeared?
O-one week ago.
You have about 3 weeks left then...
Left of what?
You didn't know?
You won't collapse to the floor just because the rose pattern disappears.
You'll slowly lose your powers as a witch over the course of a month.
I'm sure you've already lost your ability to use magic.
Water. Water. Water!
Your face will slowly become hideous.
The vitality that once embraced you will begin to wither.
Your youth will disappear as if it never even existed.
Your unique charms will hide themselves
and in the end...
No!
W-what do I do now?
I already feel as if I've aged a decade and gotten uglier!
You said you could solve everything!
What is this?
The secret plan that will save you from the dark chasm.
It'll help in finding your fated man.
My fated man?
If you can just capture his heart,
you can live without ever worrying about losing your magic.
Such a thing exists in this world?
What's the result of falling in love with the wrong man and using your remaining magic to support him?
In the end, you were stabbed in the back
and lost your powers. After having your soul stolen,
there's nothing left aside from living in the darkness.
But, your fated man will never stab you in the back.
Find that fated man. Capture his heart.
What is this?
Have you been listening?
I told you that this is something that will help you to find your fated man!
B-by any chance, this...
When your fated man appears, you'll hear a ringing sound from these ears.
Then, grab onto him—
Wait a minute. Wait...
A-are you telling me to wear these around?
Don't forget, you have 3 weeks. Within 3 weeks,
you must find your fated man and kiss him.
That's how the rose pattern will survive.
Pattern.
I'm getting older and uglier, but to have to kiss in three weeks?
Do I really have to do this just to live a pathetic life...
Yes, of course I have to. I have to!

Until the Witch With a Ladle Becomes #1!
#100th place, let's go!
Is this person that night's intruder?
For someone that squirmed all night on top of my bed,
how disappointing.
Squirming? Who is that jerk?
What's their relationship?
Why would he move into Auntie's house?!
Excuse me!
Father?
Jae Wook, are you inside?
No, he doesn't live here.
Did he leave?
Father...
How did you find this place?
I went to your boarding house and your next-door friend told me
that you packed up and moved out 2 years ago.
Cha Sik...
how is he going to become a government official if he's so righteous?
Did you eat?
There's a delicious rice soup restaurant near here.
Move aside!
You...
-I should just break this computer!-Father! Wait, dad!
Just hit me instead! You can just beat me to death!
You can't break this! I have to create webtoons!
This punk, seriously!
I spent $5,000 on this, father!
Have you given up completely on taking the civil servant exam?
It's a waste of my artistic talents to become a civil servant.
You're that talented, yet you've deceived your parents for the past 2 years
and live like this?
You said it took time for you to learn to be a tiler too.
I need time too.
Tiling is at least a technical trade.
This...what remains of this?
Can you even make a living?
Well, humans can eat other things than rice.
Then do we eat dirt?!
There's cup ramen and spicy rice cakes!
There's so much delicious food in the world. Why do you insist on eating so much rice?!
Ugh, you little—
Your stepmother went to the Buddhist temple to pray
for you to pass your civil servant exam.
Don't you feel sorry for her?
Who hasn't dreamed when they were young?
Who doesn't want to make a living working at a job that fits their aptitudes?
Everyone matches their situation and depending on their circumstances,
give up on their dreams, ignore their aptitudes, and live like that.
The majority live like that!
How long do you think I can keep supporting you?
Don't take too long to return.
I'm old too.
What are you talking about?
I'll tell them in Seongbukdong (his family) so for now, let's just make it seem I'm staying at the hotel.
Will you really be okay?
You can't even sleep because of the nightmares.
This place will be vastly different from the hotel.
I didn't come here to rest.
If anything happens, please call me immediately.
Hey, you...
Let's talk.
Let's go!
Your phone—
If you don't pick up my calls and ignore my texts, what do you want me to do?
Do you want to give up on our humane relationship just because we broke up?
What's so important that you came all the way to my house?
A few things were missing in the insurance registration forms.
Inspection is extremely picky these days so you have to personally sign everything.
I don't need this anymore. You can throw it away.
Th-throw...hey—
Y-you...a-are you taking revenge because I didn't loan out $100,000 for you?
If you cancel your insurance registration, what will my company think of me?!
I know I said I would do it but there has to be something worthwhile for me to borrow anything.
Frankly speaking, what aspect of you can I trust to take out a $100,000 loan? Is $100,000 a dog's name?
Do you think our gold reserve does business for free?!
When I think about all the times you deceived me, seriously...
even until the end, you give me sh*t! Ugh!
I liked our times together.
What?
Thanks to you, I discovered what love is
and although it was short, I was truly happy.
I was always curious about how humans love one another.
Just as you became a new universe to me,
it would've been better if I could've became a new universe to you
but it's not easy to gain someone's heart.
I now understand what that means.
What b*llsh*t are you talking about right now?!
How long has it been with the pig feet restaurant ahjumma?
What?
You should've told me earlier.
If had told me earlier, you wouldn't have had to lie
and I wouldn't have had to lose everything suddenly.
W-what...w-what are you talking about? W-what did I do with the pig feet restaurant woman?
I hope that you'll truly love her.
Hey, Kang Chong!
How can you leave like this? You can't.
You can't leave like this. I can't send you off.
Oppa...
You have to sign here before you leave.
You're not going anywhere until you sign here.
Oppa, don't be like this.
Let go of me. Don't be like this, come on.
Let go of me, it hurts!
You can't. No, no, never!
Do you know how much I'm suffering because of these forms?
You said you love me, right? If you love me, you can at least do this much for me.
Cho Hong, I'll beg like this. Please.
Once they decide on me I will give you a lot back.
Let go of me, let go!
Just sign here! Come on—
You...
Min Soo Oppa!
Where are you going?
Where are you going? Let go of me!
Cho Hong...
Cho Hong! Signature!
What are you doing? How long were you there? Did you follow us?
"Us"?
Do you think that I actually followed you? Do you think that you're that important to me?
So why were you there?
Well,
I was just passing by and saw it coincidentally. It was just so loud.
How could you date such a jerk?
Mind your own business! Why do you care?
Yeah, I shouldn't care! But for some reason, I find myself caring!
You're telling me that all of those unpleasant actions you did that night was because of that jerk, aren't you?
Yeah, I shouldn't care! But,
for some reason, I care!
♫ Is something wrong with it? ♫
So you
shouldn't do anything that makes me care
because all of these situations that make me pissed, irritated, and into a crazy man that can't mind his own business
is unexpected, unpleasant, and bothersome.
♫ One day I meet you by coincidence ♫
What is he talking about?
What a lunatic.
♫ And I will be jealous of no one in the world ♫
Huh?
I guess you're coming back from somewhere. Did you eat dinner?
I'm not hungry.
This wench, seriously! Where have you been all day?
I'm not eating either.
What? Did the two already fight?
Wow!
Seeing how he always has his secretary with him, he doesn't seem financially unstable.
What?
Don't you find it strange, Sis?
That boarder. What's the reason he must live in this building, even attaching CCTVs?
He says he has no freedom from purchasing buildings.
Ugh! Sometimes when I look at you, you're so foolish.
-You can't identify the essence of the problem.-The essence of the problem?
I mean, a rich young man
came into our rice soup restaurant that's been surrounded in secrets for the past fifty years. What could be the reason?
I don't know. What could be the reason?
-Goodness...-You know? What's the reason?
A pretty noona who makes delicious food!
You know I make amazing rice soup!
Ugh! Turn off the lights and go to sleep!
Goodness, what nonsense are you spouting in the middle of the night?
I'll sleep after I finish this.
What's the use of painting your nails? It'll still look like a dog's foot, ugh...
The vitality that once surrounded you will begin to wither
and your unique charms will hide themselves.
In the end...
No, no, no...give Cho Hong back. Cho Hong...
Reply...reply, Kang Cho Hong.
You're returned, Kang Cho Hong.
What the heck?
Where are you going so early in the morning?
Oh...
They said that some good meat came out in Majang-dong.
-I see. You received such a call?-Yes.
You should eat.
Ah, yes...
It's on the table.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't have time to do groceries, so let's eat sloppily for today.
Tomorrow, I'll make sure to make something better.
Sit down.
[Kim Mi Sun]
Mom... What are you doing?
If you went to heaven, you should help you son succeed.
Are you afraid that I won't come see you if I get famous and become busy?
Don't worry.
Don't worry...
No matter how busy I get, I'll come see you.
Mom...
Should I just...
stop drawing webtoons?
Don't just laugh.
If you capture your fated man's heart,
you won't have to worry about stuff like magic anymore.
If you fall for the wrong man and get lost in his charms, there's not point in regretting later.
You will get stabbed in the back, your powers will disappear and you'll live like you've lost your soul.
Hi!
Your fated man will never betray you.
Find that man and capture his heart.
The advertisement agency said it was fine.
Are you blaming the advertisement agency now?
Then, what could I do? He said he modify it even if the director came or the director's grandfather came.
He doesn't even pick up my calls. He is completely refusing now.
Let's go. Didn't you say you knew were he lived?
Excuse me?
Try some soup with it.
Your insides will rot.
I should've worn sneakers.
When I had my powers, I could wear ten centimeters high heels
and run around like Usain Bolt.
Young lady, which bus do I take to go to Hongeun?
- Young lady. Young lady! - Yes.
I said which bus do I take to go to Hongeun?
You're young, yet you're deaf.
You can take that bus.
That one?
Auntie! Auntie! Come here!
There's a seat here! Auntie!
Hurry up and come!
There's a seat here, Auntie!
Auntie! Auntie!
Hurry up! I said there's a seat here!
What are you doing? It was embarrassing.
It's fascinating.
That I meet Auntie in a place like this.
Do they call this fate?
You drank a lot, didn't you?
By the way, who's that rascal, Auntie?
That rascal?
The pretentious rascal with wide shoulders.
The one a little more ugly than me.
Who is he to live with you? What's your relationship with him?
We're not in any relationship.
No, no. He puts me in a bad mood. Kick him out already.
It doesn't make sense for a man to live in house only girls live in.
How can I trust that rascal?
To be honest, what happened is that—
This person, seriously...
What kind of man has long eyelashes?
Well, he is handsome.
Is he...
How many years did I age today?
When you wake up, drink this. I'm going now.
Auntie.
Why is living so complicated?
Life has been complicated since the start—
What the heck? You were awake the whole time?
This person...
Do you know how difficult it was for me to carry you from the bus stop to here?
Auntie, what's your dream?
It is a family business?
What's wrong with you? Did you something happen?
My dream was originally to fly high in the sky.
You know like how witches ride their brooms.
I guess because I'm a man, I can't do that.
What kind of witch still rides a broom these days?
The air is not good and there's a lot of CCTVs.
And riding a plane is much faster and convenient.
Is that why witches disappeared?
That's why I gave up on that dream, and I decided to draw
to my heart's content.
But, I guess I need to give up that dream too.
Being an adult, does it mean giving up
our dreams one by one?
Do we need to change accordingly to our situation?
Then, you can just not become an adult.
You said that flying in the sky is your dream.
To start with, there aren't many things that humans can do. You can't give up there.
If you give up because of this reason and give up because of that reason,
then what remains of what humans can do?
Auntie.
Yes?
Can I ask you something?
Sure, what is it?
What is this?
Is it dried squid?
-Give it to me!-What is this?
-You don't need to know!-Wait, wait!
-Give it back! Wait, give it to me!-Wait, wait!
-Give it to me! Give it back!-Wait!
Wait a minute!
It seems I'm intruding on something. I'll come back next time.
Director, where are you going? Director!
Do you two know each other?
You can go inside, although I don't think his condition is the best right now.
I apologize for intruding on your moment.
Pardon?
It seems you're fast at recovering.
Or are you the multiplayer type that can handle many at once?
What—
If that's not the case, then are you a true humanist?
You know, the women who can't ignore men in bad conditions
and must comfort them with their whole bodies.
What is it that you want to tell me?
What is it that you're hiding your true intentions and beating around the bush, making me feel bad?
Has a month, no, a week passed since you bawled after being dumped by that jerk?
You get sick because you accept whoever.
I didn't know that and cared about you, as if I was jobless and nosy.
Do I have to apologize for that too?
Crazy b*stard.
What?
You like me, don't you?
What? I what?!
That's why you're getting mad.
The woman you like was dumped by a jerk
and you didn't even get a chance to confess
yet I seem closer with a younger and handsomer man.
You don't the reason why but you're pissed and it feels unpleasant, like a thorn in your eye.
Aren't I right?
Just tell me. What's the use of having a mouth if you're not going to use it?
If you like me, you can just confess. Why are you picking a fight instead?
Are you Hong Gil Dong? Are you a kid?
This little thing, seriously! How can you say something so ridiculous?
So! So why do you insist on ridiculous statements to pick a fight with me?!
What?
And you, you aren't my type.
Don't like me.
Stop right there!
No! I said no!
You're not my type!
What's not his?
Necktie?
He said that she's not his necktie.
I said no! No!
You like me, don't you?
That crazy...
You like me, don't you?
Say something that makes sense.
♫ Someone who resembles you ♫
Get lost!
Crazy b*stard.
♫ If I were to see her by coincidence ♫
♫ You, who. You, who's awoken me from trouble ♫
What should we do now, Sis?
What should we do with our Cho Hong?
Are you at someone's funeral? Stop crying!
Don't worry,
I won't let our Cho Hong end up like her mother.

It's just a friendly gathering of managers.
so you don't have to feel burdened. Just show up for a moment.
He said that I shouldn't feel burdened but I must attend?
It's the Chairman's special order so I'm powerless.
Timing will be tight.
-Hello.-Hello.
Yes.
4 books total will be $38.
$38? Do you do discounts?
It's the rice soup restaurant woman.
Fate is quite strange, don't you think?
In the past, she would've just been one of many pedestrians.
Now, she stands out among the crowd.
I'm suddenly craving rice soup after seeing her.
Director, I bet you must eat the nation's best rice soup to your heart's content.
You don't even have to wait in line. Wow—
I don't eat rice soup!
Pardon? You love rice soup.
That's why you even proposed the idea for the cup bop.
What are you talking about? I don't like anyone!
Pardon? I meant that you like rice soup, not someone...
I said I hate it! I hate even looking at it!
I hate rice soup the most in this world!
What are you doing? Go.
Yes, sir.
♫ I can only hide it, oh magic. ♫
♫ Because you've never seen it. ♫
♫ Something unforgettable and startling ♫
♫ Day after day it's happening again ♫
♫ Catch your dream, I've got dream, hey guy. ♫
♫ If you want the world you dream of ♫

-Secretary Kim...-Yes?
what do you think of me as a man?
I have a fiance!
♫ Show me your dashing dream ♫
I can just go inside, right?
Wait! Do you not see that entrance?
You said that you were going to eat cup bop! You can just eat that all week!
I might be able to hit the jackpot if I do well.
