The Witch's Diner

There was a woman who wished for an ordinary life.

That woman...

fell in love with a man.

Let's be together forever.

I love you.

And the two lived happily together.

That's how...

stories usually end.

(Jung Han Yang, Seo Ae Sook)

Who are you?

It wasn't love at all.

So that woman...

decided to give up on everything.

Even herself.

(Notice, Opening hours: From sunset to sunrise)

So she placed a curse.

A curse that never should be placed.

I want revenge.

My wish...

is that his child becomes unhappy, just like me.

If only I can get revenge,

I don't care if I become a witch.

But even after that,

she couldn't forgive herself.

So much so that others couldn't love her,

she couldn't...

love her own self.

Not long after that,

the woman...

realized a life was growing inside her.

It was his child.

Please. Please, I beg of you.

Take it back. Please.

I beg of you.

I'll do anything you say.

So please... Help me...

Once a wish is made,

no one can take it back, Hee Ra.

Mom.

I'll do everything you say.

I'll accept any punishment, Mom.

My baby...

Mom, not my baby...

Don't let it become like me.

Abandon the child.

It will be even more unhappy if it stays with you.

Just like how...

I made you.

It will be even more unhappy if it stays with you.

Just like how I made you.

Why was it my mom?

How could you be so cruel?

How could you leave me with her?

The safest bet.

That was your mom.

She was my best option.

If I could not prevent the curse,

I wanted to...

correct my wrong somehow.

I thought...

I was a mistake.

Do you know how much I hated myself?

Because of me, Dad left Mom,

and she lived with the pain her whole life.

It's not your fault. It's mine.

But I,

even at this moment,

do not regret having you.

The moment you were born...

felt like magic to me.

I will get revenge.

This is my duty.

No.

My revenge...

is mine.

I'll do it myself.

The Witch's Diner

EPISODE 8: The Final Feast

It's not like last time.

The witch's blood inside you was awakened.

If you make another wish,

you will become a witch.

It's done now.

Compared to my previous wish,

this revenge will be a bit different.

How dare you!

For him, I've roasted veal heart.

My mother's suffering from dementia...

and my daughter has a rare refractory disease.

For his family, I've made strawberry whipped cream cake.

And this coffee will awaken a person's sense of guilt.

This is my own way of revenge...

that I've chosen.

Are you hungry?

Honey.

Jin.

(One month later)

(GED Exam Center)

Hey, don't be nervous.

Don't worry.

Just think that you're right when you make your marks.

- That's all you need to remember. - Okay.

Okay. Wait, Gil Yong.

Here.

Eat it when you're hungry.

It's rice taffy.

I like the ones made of pumpkin.

Get me pumpkin taffy when I take the CSATs later.

Okay.

What? CSATs?

I need to go to college.

I'll see you later then.

Okay.

He's all grown up now, not even getting nervous.

Goodness, I'm nervous to death.

Gosh.

- Gil Yong, here. - Hey.

Did you get the test results?

No, not yet.

How are you doing lately?

I'm preparing for the CSATs.

Soo Jung is helping me a lot, so school life isn't that bad.

I'm glad.

No one bullies you anymore?

No.

Oh, Hyun Woo is dropping out soon.

Suddenly? Why?

He came out on TV and signed with an agency...

and even had a fan cafe.

But do you remember Do Hyun, who used to hang out with him?

Darn, let go of me.

He used to be bullied by Hyun Woo like crazy since middle school.

So he sent a video exposing everything to his agency and the press.

The reporters came to our school, and it was a mess.

The last thing I heard was that he's about to go abroad.

It's probably a price he had to pay.

What?

Oh, he was always so mean to his friends,

so I guess he's being punished.

I hope...

he realizes something through this opportunity.

Gil Yong. Did you wait long?

No, I just came.

It's been ages since I've seen a movie.

I already bought the tickets.

You're the best.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Thank you. You should have some too.

When I first entered the restaurant,

I thought I had lost direction.

But now I understand.

You never lose direction.

You just keep finding a new way.

(All encounters in this world...)

(All encounters in this world are magical.)

Hey, Gil Yong.

I know it's a bit late to say this,

but thank you so much.

You stayed beside me whenever things got tough,

and I was able to muster up the courage.

No need to thank me.

It must've been hard for you too after you quit track.

I've learned so much from you.

You're more mature than me.

Jin.

When I used to be an athlete,

all I did was look ahead to the finish line.

But now, I see many more things.

There's something I realized at The Witch's Diner.

That there are roads in every path of life.

Gosh, my Gil Yong is all grown up now.

But Jin, what kind of curse did you wish for?

Oh, that?

I'll tell you next time.

I made it impossible for him to live normally.

"Live normally"?

Are you headed out?

Yes. It's today.

The day for a special feast.

You look different today.

That's just your imagination.

No, but you actually look different...

- Mr. Oh. - Yes?

Put this in the oven.

- For five minutes? - The oven.

The oven.

Fifteen minutes in the oven.

- Fifteen minutes in the oven. - Fifteen minutes.

- Hello. - Welcome. I'm glad you're here.

Welcome.

Have a seat.

Jin did tell me...

about this, but...

Is it fine to eat this?

Should we make a wish or something?

Exactly.

Is there a meaning to this as well?

There's no meaning at all.

I just cooked for us to eat.

Have some wine as well.

(New message)

(Congratulations on passing the GED test.)

Jin, I passed.

Gil Yong passed his GED test!

- My goodness. - My goodness!

Gosh, congratulations!

Thank you.

Then shall we make a toast to congratulate him?

Gil Yong, congratulations.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

I only did sports till now.

His high school.

Gil Yong, try this.

It looks good.

It's so delicious!

Delicious.

- Would you like some? - Yes, please. Thank you.

Here.

Thank you.

- You should sit at the table. - Sure. I'm almost done.

Just leave it, I'll clear it.

I'm not going to apologize.

Instead,

I should say thank you.

For the long period of time...

that is indescribable,

I was thankful every day.

Thanks to you,

I could live on.

I wanted to have a child.

I prayed every day,

but I couldn't conceive one.

I thought it won't happen in this lifetime.

The day I first held Jin in my arms...

When she grasped my finger tightly, I finally understood.

It was all so that I could meet her.

I thought about it long and hard.

Jin...

is just Jin.

It doesn't matter...

who gave birth to her or raised her.

She's our pretty and precious daughter.

You still haven't made your wish yet.

You've granted my wish already.

Meeting Jin was a miracle...

and magic to me.

Last time, you asked me what kind of curse I wished for.

I didn't wish for a curse.

The wish I made that day...

wasn't a curse but a prayer.

I ate roasted veal heart...

that makes that person get back the conscience he lost...

and strawberries whipped cream cake...

wishing for his family's happiness.

I don't really get it.

Someone like him shouldn't be forgiven.

It won't be me.

He'll be the one to punish himself.

Honey.

Are you okay?

Are you really okay?

I was worried that you wouldn't recover.

Do you know how scared I was?

To be honest, I didn't solely wish for their happiness.

Since he revealed his family on TV...

and became to be known as a romantic,

he'll live in constant fear of losing everything...

from his mistake.

The past cannot be erased,

and there are eyes everywhere.

But just feeling guilty isn't enough.

Actually,

when the roasted veal heart and coffee get mixed together,

there is a side effect.

- A side effect? - Yes.

If he ever does something that makes him feel guilty,

he'll experience the fiery pit with unimaginable pain.

(The Witch's Diner)

You're leaving? Where to?

What about this diner?

It has you.

How can I...

How can there be The Witch's Diner without a witch?

Did you forget?

You're a witch too.

My house is yours now as well.

I'm curious about how different you'll be as a witch compared to me.

Then will you not come back forever?

I'll just be away for a while.

Keep the place well until then.

I got a car ready outside.

Then when will you come back?

I don't know.

I...

have come to like my job thanks to you.

I don't plan to retire as well.

I'm looking forward to what kind of witch Jin will become.

She reminds me of my past self as well.

It was quite fun back then.

Fun?

I had so much trouble cleaning up after you.

If you're going to nag, just drive.

It burns!

Why would anyone smoke this?

I realized something now.

Just by telling someone what's deep inside my heart,

I feel much better.

That was the best choice for us.

You gave up on your dream yourself,

so how can you wish for happiness?

I'm the happiest person...

in the world right now.

Since Hyo Sik isn't alone anymore.

If I look back, there was no meaningless moment.

Every second that swept me by.

Every person.

Every moment...

led me here and held out a hand.

Gil Yong.

Becoming a supporter...

is no easy feat.

You must study law,

finance, and accounting too.

If someone becomes a witch or a supporter,

will their lives change completely?

It depends on how you think.

The path Jin took.

It'll be a lonely one.

It is a lonely path.

Because it's a special one.

Witches existed for a very long time...

to help the powerless and weak.

When the weak reach out their hand,

the witches hold them.

Like how the witches do what they can...

to help the people,

the supporter does all in their power...

to help their witch.

Good luck.

(Lee Gil Yong)

From now on, I am your shadow.

You heard of the supporter, didn't you?

Are you really okay with this?

Of course, I am.

Are you sure you won't regret it? It'll be hard work.

I know.

Why did you get into this without me?

No one but I can do this.

Let's make this work.

(The Witch's Diner)

You know,

I really wanted to be a great writer.

Since I was young, I wanted to be a novelist.

For the last few years, I just wrote and lived on instant noodles.

I finally got to meet an editor...

and had a shot at publishing my work.

The novel I'm currently working on...

is a thriller.

It's about murders and crimes.

The editor said that...

I'm not a bad writer,

but it's not the right item for me.

So we decided to meet with a different novel of mine.

For the last week,

I drew a blank and I have no ideas.

I wish I could write something out like magic.

So what you want...

is to complete a new novel.

It's an apple pie.

Eat that and your wish will come true.

But there will be a price.

A price?

You have...

lovely wrists.

My wrists?

Are these called joints?

They might hurt a bit.

My joints?

I don't care, as long as this novel's completed.

It's so delicious.

I've never had a pie as tasty as this.

Even when we think all is over,

and when we think we're struggling on our own,

we are not alone.

"Love was..."

No, that's not right.

I even made a wish, so why can't I write anything?

Oh, whatever. I don't care.

(Witch)

(Witch)

(Come to the Witch's Diner)

(Come to the Witch's Diner)

That's it.

(Come to the Witch's Diner)

This stiff feeling.

"Roopretelcham".

"Everything you think..."

"and choose comes true."

Go to a good university?

But I don't know what I want to do yet.

Find work, of course.

I want to stop asking my parents for help.

I want to be financially independent.

Love? Marriage?

I want to find my soulmate.

To backpack around the world.

Not much.

I just want my kids to be healthy.

One day, I want to attempt what I really want to do.

To travel with my wife...

whom I failed to look after well.

To live in comfort?

I'd wish for nothing if I could become ten years younger.

There's still a lot I want to do.

- For my stocks to go up. - A promotion.

I want my young son to go to his dream university.

For every attempt I make in my second chapter...

in life to be acknowledged.

For my father to not get sick or hurt and to be healthy.

If he could smile and laugh freely, I wouldn't want for much else.

The more you believe and wish for it,

the more likely it is to come true.

Such magic does exist.

Your life is no exception.

So if you're out in the street...

and you come across a witch's diner,

come inside without hesitation.

Are you ready?

Yes.

- You too? - Yes.

Welcome.

This is the witch's diner where your wish comes true.

(The epilogue is coming up.)

(Special thanks to Han Ji Eun and Yoo Gun Woo.)

(Thank you for watching "The Witch's Diner".)

The Witch's Diner

I have...

a handsome, lovely son.

(Epilogue)

I will die soon,

and he's very worried about me.

After I'm gone,

I fear the hurt he will suffer.

I hope that, even after I'm gone,

my son can live on with strength and happiness.

That is my wish.

Other people...

make wishes for themselves.

I'm a mom.

My child's happiness is mine.

I will grant you that wish.

Your son will be happy.

But the price he must pay will be through hardship.

Without hardships,

no one can recognize...

the happiness they live with.
