Fans Of Yoon Shi Yoon Treat 100 Person Cast And Crew Of ‘Mirror Of The Witch’ To Hearty Samgyetang Buffet


It seems JTBC has been doing well with their latest crop of K-dramas. Earlier this year, Madame Antoine marked the K-drama return of Han Ye Seul, known for her lead roles in Spy Myung Wol and Birth of a Beauty, while Ms. Temper and Nam Jung Gi saw the highest viewership ratings for the pay television channel in almost a year. And now their wave of success is continuing with their current K-drama airing, Mirror of the Witch.

Starring Yoon Shi Yoon (Flower Boys Next Door, Prime Minister and I) and Kim Sae Ron (Missing You, Glamorous Temptation), Mirror of the Witch is a period drama in which Sae Ron plays Seo Ri, a woman born as a princess who became a witch when she was put under a curse and abandoned deep in the mountains after her mother, Queen Shim, gave birth to her. It is there she meets the character Yoon Shi Yoon plays, Heo Jun.

Apparently, Yoon Shi Yoon is so popular that his fans did something spectacular for him and the cast and crew of Mirror of a Witch. They treated over 100 people to an amazing and wholesome samgyetang buffet.

The news of Yoon Shi Yoon’s fans treating the cast and crew of Mirror of a Witch, which is also known as Witch Exemplar, happened back on May 25, as reported by AllKpop. They prepared a buffet primarily consisting of samgyetang, a soup consisting of a whole young chicken filled with garlic and rice, scallion, and spices which includes jujube and Korean ginseng, a traditional meal Koreans usually eat during the hot days of summer. The fans also included a coffee car so that the cast and crew can enjoy a hot cup of Joe during breaks between filming.

Yoon Shi Yoon made sure to express his gratitude to his fans by taking pictures of himself, with the help of the Mirror of the Witch crew, next to all the gifts and services his fans provided to him and everyone he is working with on set.

It is possible the reason why Yoon Shi Yoon’s fans are going all out when it comes to their love and devotion to him is the fact Mirror of the Witch is his first official acting role ever since he returned from his conscription (mandatory military service) lasting about two years. Fans are going to do all they can to make sure Shi Yoon’s return is as comfortable, as well as wonderful, for him to produce a product worth watching.

It also helps out that Yoon Shi Yoon actually teased his return to acting in the last JTBC K-drama, Ms. Jung vs. Nam Jung Gi. Shi Yoon did not make his appearance until the finale as a new hired employee for Lovely Cosmetics. Nam Jung Gi, played by Yoon Sang Hyun, goes up to him and warns him that the company “has a witch.” Ergo, Ms. Temper vs. Nam Jung Gi actually promoted their next K-drama through both a cameo and foreshadowed lines.

Mirror of the Witch, also known as Witch Exemplar, airs on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. It will run for a total of 16 episodes initially starting on May 13 on the Korean pay channel JTBC. For those who do not have access to Korean television channels, it is available for viewing pending region on both DramaFever and Viki.
