Her close friend, Myunghee ( Go Minsi), quickly takes it upon herself to manage Jayoon on her rise to stardom, and things are looking up until they run into a handsome stranger ( Choi Wooshik) who speaks so smugly to Jayoon that she's almost convinced they've met before. Luckily, Jayoon has what it takes to become a pop star: she’s personable, an effortless beauty, has good grades, and surprises no one when she reveals on live TV that she sings so well, there's clearly no competition at all. When she's presented with an opportunity to win big money by competing on television, she takes it. Ten years pass and Jayoon lives a normal life in spite of her occasional splitting headaches, and her priority after school is caring for her aging parents who can't take care of the farm like they used to. Opening with a little girl escaping a secure facility into the arms of a farm couple who gladly take her in, we’re introduced to our hero, Jayoon ( Kim Dami). The Subversion sets up a long line of dominoes that could fall in just about any direction. Rumored to be the first installment of a yet-to-be-continued trilogy, The Witch: Part 1. It begins as a family drama/comedy and ends on a cliffhanger after a long, bloody action sequence of a third act, which can be expected of something with "Part 1" in its title.
THE WITCH PART 1. THE SUBVERSION MOVIE
At a glance, the title is interesting just for sounding like a Gen 4 K-Pop album, but it's also a kind of apt representation of what watching the movie is like in the sense that it manages to squeeze several very different genres into one sitting. After sitting in my Netflix queue for about two years, the time had finally come to watch The Witch: Part 1.
