My 2 cents worth in The Legendary Witch (전설의 마녀) drama

"The Legendary Witch" takes over the MBC weekend drama slot previously occupied by "Mama" by Song Yun Ah. The casts include Han Ji Hye, Go Doo Shim, Oh Hyun Kyung, Ha Yeon Soo, Ha Suk Jin, Kim Yoon Seo, Park Geun Hyung and Jeon In Hwa. Lovely casts. isn't it? The story unfolds of Moon Soo In (Han Ji Hye) previously a chaebol's daughter in law was framed and thrown into prison by her in-laws. Her husband died early and left her to rot with her in laws. After spending some time in prison, she met her inmates- Bok Nyeo (Go Doo Shim), Poong Geum (Oh Hyun Kyung) and single mother Mi Oh (Ha Yeon Soo). The women started learning baking and took the classes seriously under the Instructor Nam Woon Seok (Ha Suk Jin)

Soo In promises herself that she would exact revenge on her in-laws family for mistreating her and framing her. The 3 women called the elderly Bok Nyeo as mother since she is the elder inmate who sat behind bars for 30 years. 


So happens Bok Nyeo is good friends with Nam's father in law who owns a laundry shop. Nam is a single father raising a small kid Byeol while his wife died in a car accident ages ago- partly caused by Soo In's sister in law, Joo Hee.(Kim Yoon Seo) Joo Hee harbours a one sided crush on Nam. All were staying under the same roof in Nam's house except for Poong Geum who stays in a quarter room. They find it difficult to find jobs due to the prison period so they started with baking, opening a bakery shop in order to compete with the large company, Shinhwa Company owned by Soo In's father in law. 

It was slow at the start but the story starts to pick up as I can see how Soo In struggles to cope in the society and been encouraged with her friends around her to stand up.
Ha Suk Jin is a pure eye candy to me but he is a nice character to help those inmates. 
It shows pure loyalty, friendship and love among these 4 women. There is guest appearances from Kim Soo Mi as a prison inmate and Soo In's husband, Do Hyun - which is played by Go Joo Won. 

I seriously can't wait to see these women succeed in life and revenge back on those evil people who mistreated them- especially Soo In's in laws and Do Ji who hurt the poor Mi Oh and her young son. Of course the ending we want is always in the hands of the scriptwriter. I bet Soo In will end up with Woo Seok, Bok Nyeo with Woo Seok's father in law and the rest of the women will have their own other half. :)
