Characters shall die!

Yoon Shi Yoon delivers a riveting performance as Heo Jun in this episode. Holy feelings. I felt the urge to cry my eyes out with this guy. Sadly I fear it is not the end of his tears here.

No. Episode 4 is a doozy. Not only are the writers of Mirror of the Witch letting us know that it's life and death here, it's going to spill over into the next episode. Episode 1 was not a fluke. This is dark fantasy and by--my breaking heart--characters will/are dying.

There were some tropes here. Choi Hyun Seo definitely is paying dearly for not sharing information. Annoying yes, but I accept it. Because he PAYS for it. Though I wander why such great men always get stuck with weak women? I blame an arranged marriage in the case of Choi Hyun Seo and his wife. Though I would have thought she'd know enough that the Chief Shaman is evil, and her husband is a great man.

This signals the first quarter of this story, and the point in which I decide to continue or drop a series. Well I'm continuing it! If they keep up this pace there's endless possibilities for the story! No fillers. I believe there are still enough side characters to keep things going there's a lot of working gears here. Not to mention that I'm invested. It seems like side characters such as Poong Yeon and Soon Hwea won't be getting much time. Instead they're damsels.

That's right Seo Ri's brothers are the damsels. She will be in charge of her fate and saving them. Everything depends on her womaning up and making it happen. I'm sure that Heo Jun will factor in. But I am thrilled that the supposed damsel, the lady cursed, will be the one to save herself.

Life Beats You Down!

Ouuff! What an episode!

Episode 4 marks the end of the first quarter of the show, and it came as such a chilling bewildering shock! Never have I seen a drama closing all doors of hope, depriving its viewers of the slightest chance to breathe in one episode, not to mention so early on!

I'm still puzzled! What happened?

If anything, episode 4 echoes 'the darkness' of episode one. Only it's worse; we deal with the aftermath. It's a fair reminder: the game that the characters of Mirror of the Witch play is that of life and death. The stakes are always high, and the slightest slip will come back to haunt you later on. The results are never going to be easy!

The world has an order. Both our heroes happen to mess up that order by their mere existence, and when you mess up the order, you suffer the consequences!

But this isn't just Yeon Hui and Joon's story!

Perhaps, Mirror of the Witch is the story the Black Witch just as much! Again, the Black Witch (Hong Joo) and the Silly Taoist's past (Choi Hyun Soo) is vaguely hinted to. Yet, following the show's storytelling fashion, we're cruelly left to guess about it with no concrete facts!

A quarter of the show has passed and the most interesting character till now is none but our Black Witch Hong Joo. Yun Jung Ah plays her to perfection with chilling stern expressions that succeed to betray her conflicting emotions and her ambition. I think she's my favorite till now.

Silly Taoist, on the other hand, didn't get this nickname for nothing...

After the bump that is episode 4, I literally have no idea where the show will go next or how!
