A new video teaser has been released for TVING’s upcoming fantasy drama The Witch’s Diner, featuring the lead actors: Song Ji-hyo (Was It Love), Nam Ji-hyun (365: Repeat the Year), and Chae Jong-hyeop (Sisyphus).

Set in a mysterious restaurant where customers can buy wishes off the menu, Song Ji-hyo takes on the central role as a witch named Hee-ra.

Although human, Nam Ji-hyun’s character Jin somehow becomes Song’s business partner. And they hire Chae Jong-hyeop, who plays part-timer Gil-yong, to also work at their restaurant.

The teaser opens with the restaurant’s eerie décor and Song Ji-hyo beckons to the viewers through the text screens: Come on in,” and “I’ll grant you your wishes.” As she serves a dish to Lee Kyu-hyung (Hi Bye, Mama), she explains, “Your wish will come true when you eat the food I make. I will grant you one wish.” Nam Ji-hyun hesitates and responds, “I want… revenge.”

Cut to dramatic music as the text screens warn, “Wishing is free. Granting it requires payment.” Chae Jong-hyeop looks conflicted as he stands atop a high-rise building and, in a sequence of quick shots, we see different people suffering the consequences of their wishes. The appearing text screen explains that the drama, “recharges the soul” but is a “cruel fantasy,” and introduces the main cast: Song Ji-hyo, Nam Ji-hyun, and Chae Jong-hyeop.

We see Nam in danger of falling off a cliff and Song grabs her arm to save her. Song Ji-hyo tells her, “Make your choice. Right now. But… there is a price to pay.” The teaser comes to a close with Nam Ji-hyun asking Song who she is. Handing her a business card, Song responds, “Me? A witch.”

Written by Lee Young-sook and directed by PD’s So Jae-hyun (Awaken) and Lee Soo-hyun, TVING’s new fantasy drama The Witch’s Diner premieres next month on July 16.
