Trying to find new directions, he applied to be a part-timer at The Witch’s Diner and Hee Ra accepted without Jung Jin’s knowledge. Giving a special deal for her new hire, Hee Ra offered him a wish and he can choose to take revenge.

The upcoming witch

Instead of taking revenge or making Jung Jin fall for him, Gil Yong’s wish is to stay by Jung Jin’s side forever. Saying that taking revenge will not alter his future, using powers to make Jung Jin fall for him is not real and he rather not. Hee Ra is impressed by Gil Yong.

Jung Jin seems to be able to read and see all the inscriptions in the recipe book, and the bottles of desire and ingredients. After listening to each customer’s wish, Hee Ra passed the baton to Jung Jin to whip out a dish.

There is a hidden secret behind why Jung Jin is able to read and slowly walking up the path to becoming a witch.


Overall, this is a nice and sweet drama. The moral of the story is to be careful of what you wish for and the implications behind it. The ending is a new beginning and really hope there will be a season 2 for it.
