Came for the Spica OST, found a noona romance with a bit of a draggy story
I originally discovered Witch's Romance because the "theme song" was sung by Spica, and I stumbled upon the music video of that song that had scenes of this drama in it and became interested. However I then forgot about this drama until I saw it here on MDL, and decided to finally watch it.
I was honestly excited for this drama at the beginning, things were going pretty smoothly for the two leads, but eventually there was a LOT of stuff going on and I just wished that the relationship of the main leads would have progressed better and at a faster pace. The story started to drag a bit because the writers decided to drag a lot of misunderstandings and such. Also, I honestly didn't care for the workplace scenes a lot, in my opinion a lot of those scenes did nothing for the story and they just.. were. They were really not interesting.
When it comes to the acting/cast/characters, Park Seo Joon did a good job in this, which I'm not surprised by, since he's a good actor. Uhm Jung Hwa also did a good job, her character was likable (at least after the story started to progress more) though some of her scenes were super cringy, like when she was "drunk" for example. To add, I have to say that I did not like some of the FL's colleagues at all. They were just really annoying and I didn't enjoy watching their scenes. FL's mom was also quite controlling over FL at the beginning, but she got better fortunately. I did not really like ML's best friend either, he didn't really have proper character development. FL's best friend and her husband were sweet though.
The music in this drama was good, it was cute, I love Spica so I was excited to hear a song by them in this drama, but for some reason at the second half of this drama they completely forgot the Spica song and stopped using it? That was a bit upsetting. Also, I found it kind of hilarious, that those scenes where UJH/FL was dancing in her living room, it seemed like she was originally dancing to a completely different song and that they just threw the Spica song on that scene as an afterthought almost. I mean that she wasn't moving to the right rhythm lol.
Overall this drama was just okay. It had a lot of characters that I personally didn't like, and I hoped the relationships and their issues were resolved faster, because the story started to feel draggy. The main characters were nice, and some of the supporting characters were as well. The soundtrack was okay as well. I'd say that especially if you enjoy noona romance dramas, you could give this one a try. At first I gave it 7.5 stars, but then I thought about it a bit more and I decided to score this a solid 7 stars out of 10. Not terrible, but not that amazing either.
