The Genie TV original drama 'The Witch', starring Jeon Yeo-been, has wrapped up its successful run with a series finale that achieved a personal best viewership rating of 7.1% nationwide.
Broadcast on Tuesday, the final episode saw Kim Young-ran (Jeon Yeo-been) fully execute the revenge plan orchestrated by Ga Sun-ho (Moon Sung-geun) against the villain Ga Seon-yeong (Jang Yoon-ju). By presenting crucial CCTV footage of a murder scene and evidence of Ga Seon-yeong's coercion of her brother Ga Seon-woo (Lee Chang-min) at the Ga Sung Group shareholders' meeting, Kim Young-ran brought the antagonist to justice.
Having completed her life reset project, Kim Young-ran returned to Muchang Village to find true happiness with those who truly cared for her. Her rekindled romance with Jeon Dong-min (Lee Soo-hyuk) culminated in a sweet kiss, marking a heartwarming conclusion to her journey.
Supporting characters also found their happy endings, with Lee Don (Seo Hyun-woo) establishing his own office, Baek Hye-ji (Joo Hyun-young) marrying Seo Tae-min (Kang Ki-doong), and Lee Mi-sun (Seo Jae-hee) securing her position as the kindergarten director with Kim Young-ran's help. The drama effectively delivered a message of poetic justice as wrongdoers faced imprisonment.
'The Witch' captivated audiences with its engaging storyline, exploring the meaning of true happiness beyond wealth, and the intricate relationships between characters from Ga Sung Group and Muchang Village. The stellar performances and compelling narrative contributed to its high ratings, making it the No. 1 ENA Monday-Tuesday drama for 2025 and the second highest-rated ENA drama of all time.
Following the finale, netizens are buzzing about the cast and crew possibly going on a reward vacation. Jeon Yeo-been had previously mentioned a promise of a Bali trip if the ratings surpassed 7%, leading fans to comment, 'Did they really make it to Bali?' and 'Looking forward to seeing the 'The Witch' team happy in Bali!' The excitement for a potential group trip is palpable.
