A poem about life
I just finished watching the last episode of The Witch's Diner and although I realize that what was meant to be told was told, I'm still very hungry for much more of this excellent and original TV show. Why only 8 episodes?
I applaud Korean film making that it so many times comes up with original ideas like in this case: you can make a wish while eating the best meal you've ever tasted. Your wish is guaranteed to come true but it'll cost you something precious, so "Be careful what you wish for". The show is about making choices, but also about regrets that may follow a choice and how to deal with that and as life is about continuing making choices, this is a show about life itself.
If you really, really wish for something it may come true, but it has consequences on other parts of your life and it may affect other people. Each episode presents some themes about life that can make you think about it. That is if you're open and willing to take in what the characters give you and if you look a bit further than just the witch idea, which in itself is an original and well-acted out idea.
Song Ji-Hyo is absolutely stunning as the beautiful and mesmerizing witch. Wow!!! Also, the ravishing Nam Ji-hyun and definitely all the other great actors perform a great job in giving us this TV show. The way the actors present their characters and their stories to us is superb. So recognizable human - in contrary to too many American plastic shows - that it becomes your own world, real life people you can sympathize with and want to have in your life.
The cast is sincerely superb as is the directing, camerawork, sound and everything else that makes this show outstanding. It was a real pleasure watching this series and I regret it's over after 8 episodes, but to the whole team of actors and director and technical staff and everybody that worked on realizing this show I say: THANK YOU!
