Cast

Roh Jeong Eui will play Park Mi Jeong, a woman chased by the villagers after all the men who dated her died. The villagers called her a witch due to the mysterious demise of her father and the deaths of several of her male friends and classmates. Gradually, the woman begins believing she is a witch and distances herself.

"During the casting meeting with Roh Jeong Eui, it felt like Mi Jeong herself had walked into the room. During the test shoot, she immersed herself so deeply in the role that the entire staff exclaimed, 'It's Mi Jeong!' That's how much she [perfectly] embodied the character," Director Kim Tae Kyun said, praising Roh Jeong Eui.

Jinyoung will appear as Lee Dong Jin, a man who risks his life for Mi Jeong. He grew up with the female lead and had an unrequited love for her. He unexpectedly meets her after ten years and decides to investigate the curse that is affecting her life.

"[Jinyoung's] stable voice and gaze resemble Dong Jin. The actor also possesses the innocence and sincerity of the character," Director Kim Tae Kyun shared.

Teaser

A teaser shows a glimpse of the romantic journey between Dong Jin and Mi Jeong. The clip begins by featuring them as high school students and the beginning of their mysterious love. Mi Jeong captures Dong Jin's attention during their high school days because of her sorrowful expression.

When a male student was struck by lightning, rumors started spreading that Mi Jeong caused the accident. Whenever similar incidents took place in the village, the villagers began blaming the female lead. Gradually, Mi Jeong began believing the rumors and distanced herself from everybody.

The video then features a time jump and introduces Dong Jin as a data miner. He hears the name Mi Jeong on a subway station and looks around for her. When he sees a man confessing his love, his focus shifts to the woman beside him. She politely asks the man if he knows anything about her. Dong Jin follows Mi Jeong with the determination to help her.
