UNREGISTEREDAlthough at times, I thought the drama was so over the top, I still enjoyed it. Ma-ri's divorce was inevitable and I don't really abide by the belief that a couple should stay together because of the children, even when the love/respect has gone.

UNREGISTEREDThe series delivered on what it promised: a divorce, a pregnancy and a death. It was consistent with its dark humor during the course of its run. It was an entertaining and fun show.
All of the story lines wrapped up neatly. Ma-Ri got divorced on her favorable terms because she was one step ahead of her husband. Jin-A got her money back but her real treasure was having a daughter and a reformed husband. Hee Soo got to live her life on her terms.
What really went through my head during the finale was the mental comparison to THIRTY NINE, another show that featured three women dealing with personal issues and friendship when reaching age 40. In fact, it had the same terminal disease friend saying to the others “to remain close friends” after she was gone. But WITCH did that story line so much better.
While THIRTY NINE’s Chan-Young’s (JMD) illness story was overwhelmed by Mi-Jo’s (SYS) annoying angst, interference and dull romance, Hee Soo finally solved her own fate on her own to live her final months her own terms. In fact, WITCH allowed the FLs their own individual story arcs to navigate without deep interference from their friends. In the end, they were supportive of their personal choices.
Jin A realized on her own that she had to grow up to be a responsible mother. Even though she was scammed by her landlady, and lost most of her money bailing out her husband, she finally found stability in a family. Ma-Ri was more over-the-top than Nak Gu because she had to be; she was one step of ahead of his craziness. Crazy was in their make-up as school girls thinking the world would end with Y2K decide to take on a bully gang because they were going to die anyway. It was a nice tie in to wrap up the Oracle story, as her daughter Jang Mi was the one being bullied.
Film students might find the overt lesson a bit trite. Becoming a Witch meant that for a woman in a conservative patriarchal society to take control of her own life, she has to rebel and challenge the men in her life. Hee Soo’s strong will power got her ex-husband Mu-Young to ACCEPT her decisions that led to a peaceful end. Jin A strength and common sense got her husband Woo Bin to CHANGE into a caring and loving husband and father. Mar-Ri’s punch and counterpunch fight with NakGu got her closure to the pain in her life while Nak Gu GOT WHAT HE DESERVED for abandoning her during the hour of her desperate need (miscarriage) then having a humiliating open, public affair.
The ending was a little choppy so as I watched it I wondered if parts were re-shot without some of the cast (being told instead of show the conclusion). But that really does not affect the satisfactory ending to the show. The series had humor, slapstick, compelling stories and side arcs that did not interfere with the FLs friendship. As I look at my completed list of 2022 dramas, this show is in the Top 4.
