The cast of the Witch's Love kdrama is made up of talented actors who portray their characters with great skill and charisma. The main female lead is played by Yoon So-hee, who takes on the role of Kang Cho-hong, a witch with a bright and bubbly personality. Yoon So-hee perfectly captures Cho-hong's charm and liveliness, making her a lovable and relatable character. The main male lead is portrayed by Hyun Woo, who plays the role of Ma Sung-tae, a sweet and caring guy who falls in love with Cho-hong despite knowing her true identity as a witch. Hyun Woo brings warmth and sincerity to the character, making audiences root for their romantic relationship. Lee Hong-bin plays the role of Hwang Jae-woong, a successful chef and the second male lead.
What didn't work for me:
She s only able to do so because Cho-Hong falls in love with Sung-Tae, who just happened to be carrying a death sentence on his chest, a fact the dark witch admits to not knowing initially. I thought the main issue they will face is if Sung Tae will still love her if he finds out she is a witch but surprisingly it wasn t really an issue to him.
Lee Hong-bin plays the role of Hwang Jae-woong, a successful chef and the second male lead. Lee Hong-bin brings a mysterious and brooding aura to the character, capturing the attention of viewers and keeping them intrigued by his actions.

Review
This was light and fun and i finished the drama in less than 3 days. There was a lot of kissing, some magic spells and mystery that will keep you interested.
I liked Cho Hong, I thought she was cute and sweet. Sung Tae was cute when he is being romantic but can be a total jerk too. Their love story progressed quite fast. Even though at first Cho Hong approached Sung Tae because she needs to kiss him to break the curse, she ends up falling in love for real. I thought the main issue they will face is if Sung Tae will still love her if he finds out she is a witch but surprisingly it wasn’t really an issue to him. I did find his behavior odd when he was supposed to have his memories erased and yet he acted like he didn’t and his attitude was the worst! I dont know if he was intentionally being rude to Cho Hong to keep her away while he sorts his feelings, but he couldn’t help but still love her.
There were some plot lines that wasn’t followed through, like the wash up actress who liked Sung Tae in the first two episodes, not sure what happened to her and why they even bothered to put her story in when she didn’t affect the couple. Even Jae Wook was a waste of story. He was a fun way to make Sung Tae jealous and have a love triangle as the destined man, but other than that, his character didn’t really do much. I would have liked to see some growth to his character, like resolving the ill feelings between him and his dad but that didn’t happen. We only saw that he became no. 1 in the last episode.
Also the whole point of Sung Tae moving into the building was to investigate what happened to him 25 years ago. There were a few hints here and there but we only get the full story in the last 2 episodes. While it’s wasnt a surprise to see his mother was involved, it still somehow felt like it came out of nowhere with no clues other than the mother getting angry at him. I wish we had more scenes with him and the mom so we can feel how their relationship worked. And also the dad! They never showed his dad when he was the main cause of the problem – with Sung Tae and Cho Hong’s mother. Cho Hong never even got to find out what happened.
As for the magic spells, while I wished that the witches and Cho Hong (in particular) showed more power, I guess it wasn’t the whole point of the story that’s why their power was limited in the kitchen while they’re cooking and when Cho Hong is flicking her fingers.
I liked the ending, everything all wrapped up nice and pretty. Maybe if this was 16 episodes instead of 12 there would have been more explantions on some of the scenes though I fear the scenes may become boring if kept for long.
Verdict: A light-hearted romcom that suffers from haphazard storytelling and an undercooked OTP, with lots of untapped potential and missed opportunities. Some episodes also suffer from audio issues, with the characters' words drowned out by the music or simply lowered into oblivion. The soundtrack has some good tracks that fit the tone of the show and feel at home in this world of witches, but I can't vouch for it entirely as I'm in the process of listening to it. I can share this particular track that I liked though.
Han Jae-suk adds depth to the drama with his emotional and conflicted portrayal of Sung-hoon. Other notable cast members include Kim Young-ok, who plays an elderly witch named Mimi, and Choi Jae-sung, who plays Cho-hong's father and the head of the witch community. Overall, the Witch's Love kdrama cast delivers outstanding performances, each bringing their own unique qualities to their respective characters. Their chemistry and talent make the drama an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre..
