Mirror of the Witch- new era fantasy drama is proven popular.

Yoon Shi Yoon, Kim Sae Ron who recently finished filming the cable channel drama 'Mirror of the Witch' has recorded 2% ratings. 

The last episode shown on 16th July has recorded 2.773% ratings according to the measurement company for the paid TV-household channel.

It was the first drama Yoon Shi Yoon has filmed ever since he was discharged out from army and co-operated with child actress Kim Sae Ron. Even though the wide age gap difference between a 30-year old man and 16 year old child actress, it didn't hinder any of the filming.
The drama has proven its popularity since it has sold its broadcast copyrights to 8 South East Asian countries including Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong.


The final episode has shown the big sacrifice that Heo Joon (played by Yoon) was willing to take as to save the royal family, Yeon Hui (played by Kim) and everyone else from the curse. Yo Gwang has given the Sacrifice Elixir for Joon to drink however Yeon Hui has swapped it with another bottle of potion. Instead she took the elixir somewhere else to drink and die in stead of Joon. The love and sacrifice of one true love at last lit the final candle to break the curse in the Chungbing Temple. This has aroused the emotion and sadness at the same time.

And we were treated to veteran actor Kim Gab Soo who made his cameo appearance as the elderly court Physician Heo Joon who treated the Royal Family and even wrote a book on medicine called the Dongui Bogam. Years passed on and Joon passed on his teachings to kids and fondly remembers Yeon Hui.
