All You Need to Know About Kang Full Webtoon “The Witch” Before Watching the Kdrama
Korean video platform Channel A recently released the enigmatic teaser of its upcoming webtoon-adapted Kdrama, “The Witch.” This Kdrama is one of the most highly-anticipated series in 2025, based on the legendary webtoon universe by Korean legend Kang Full.
Published in June 2013, this Korean mystery-romance webtoon tells the story of a woman who suffers a horrible curse. It is considered Season 5 of the whole Kang Full universe, but more on the pure romance series.
Telling the story of a woman who suffers a horrible curse, “The Witch” was serialized on Daum Webtoon from June 10 to October 18, 2013, with a total of 30 chapters. Before getting its official Kdrama adaptation, “The Witch” webtoon by Kang Full was first released as a Chinese film on September 9, 2022, with the title “我要和你在一起 (I Love You).”
Now, before we get to the Kdrama version, let’s get to the main story of the original “The Witch” webtoon by Kang Full.
Storyline and Characters
“The Witch” original webtoon tells the story of Park Mi Jung, whose life is shrouded in a mysterious curse. Every man who falls for her eventually faces grave accidents, or worse, death. Yet, despite her best efforts to lead a normal life, she cannot escape the shadow of her tragic fate. Her classmates suffer bizarre accidents, and eventually, her father dies in an attempt to save her from a venomous snake.
Overwhelmed by guilt and fear, she isolates herself from society, believing that distancing herself from others is the only way to keep them safe.
Years later, she meets Lee Dong Jin, a kind-hearted man who refuses to believe rumors surrounding Mi Jung. Dong Jin is determined to prove that Mi Jung is not the source of the accidents and sets out to uncover the truth. His investigation leads him to a chilling discovery—the existence of a “death rule” tied to loving Mi Jung.
And so, Dong Jin painstakingly pieces together patterns. He found out the distance, time spent together, and emotional attachment that seem to trigger the curse. Yet, despite the overwhelming danger, his love for Mi Jung only grows stronger.
Then there’s Kim Joong Hyeok, Dong Jin’s closest friend and a police detective. Initially skeptical of the so-called curse, Joong Hyeok becomes embroiled in the mystery when Dong Jin goes missing. As Joong Hyeok digs deeper, he uncovers a terrifying twist—he, too, maybe cursed.
Lastly, Heo Eun Sil, a radio producer and former student council president during Mi Jung’s university days. She played a crucial role in connecting the past and present. A strong and proactive woman, Eun Sil becomes Joong Hyeok’s ally, helping him uncover Dong Jin’s whereabouts and unravel the curse’s origins.
“The Witch” Kdrama and Original Kang Full Webtoon: The Main Difference
While the upcoming Kdrama “The Witch” may share the same story as Kang Full original webtoon, you will notice that they will take completely different storytelling.
Both versions revolve around Park Mi Jung and her mysterious curse. However, where “The Witch” webtoon leans into dark suspense and complex mysteries, the Kdrama promises a more heartfelt tale of romance, personal growth, and emotional healing.
It’s a public secret that Kang Full’s webtoons mostly focus on a slow-burn narrative that unravels guilt, fear, and isolation. That’s why “The Witch” webtoon mostly centers around Mi Jung, investigating what actually happened behind the curse.
In contrast, the Kdrama paints Mi Jung as a stylish, confident woman grappling with loneliness and her past. It suggests a softer and more introspective approach.
Characters, too, are interpreted differently. The webtoon’s Lee Dong Jin is driven by curiosity and love, risking everything to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, the Kdrama hints at Dong Jin as a nostalgic figure from Mi Jung’s high school days. It focuses more on their emotional connection rather than investigative intrigue.
