Yet a new (talk?) show: JTBC's Witch Hunt EP1.

Idk if this interests anyone, I just thought I'd post it. The concept is kind of questionable tbh (it's about "the man's view on woman"), and since this is the first episode no one really seems to have any idea of what's going on. This is also just part of the first episode since the subbing team had difficulties with the translation (or that's what I gathered from their Facebook page). Might be worth a watch if you're interested in one of the MCs or gender perceptions in South Korea, I guess. (@Mods: Sorry for all the hassle, I hope this time I did it right?.)

So a show about "the man's view on woman" is called Witch Hunt?

Uh...

Idk if I really want to give this show a chance.

mte. I usually really enjoy Shin Dong Yup but this is giving me a pause.

I might check it out later if I run out of things to watch...

According to what they say in the show the term 'witch' is for women 'seducing' men or 'playing' with them, so ... you're not wrong doubting the whole thing b/c it is a bit difficult. Sam Hammington is a part of the cast as well and I've already seen him saying shady things on Happy Together ... I really initially just watched it for Sung Si-Kyung and I think I'll give it another chance since some ladies seem to be guests in the later episodes but we'll see.

I watched it and the title is misleading. Its actually not what you think, they talk about sex, guy/girl problem, basically a guys perspective on dating/relationships. Viewers ask for advice. It was refreshing cuz they didn't do the "19+ rating, we cant talk about it" shtick. They went there. I wish it had a better title but I hope they go with this honest, open concept about sex and their knowledge/experiences.

Edit: I'm still really confused about what this show is about though.

I'm all for being more open about sexuality and breaking down conservative barriers. This sounds promising.

Thank you for sharing! :)

this show is sooooo good. don't let the title or the initial concept fool you. it's so honest on sex and relationships and you actually get a fair amount of female input!!! half the show invites female panel, which includes a sex columnist lady who is awesome! and the show actually gives the mic over to a lot of 'normal people' i.e. people on the streets, non-celebs, etc. to ask for their opinions as well. also hong suk chun is a panel member and from time to time he talks about homosexual relationships which is!!! we need more of that in korean media!!

Hmm... that sounds a whole lot better than what I had feared. :) Thank you for sharing! I might check out the show after all. I love that women are able to provide input as well, and having Hon Suk Chun there to normalize homosexual relationships is definitely a plus!

Ah, excellent! Now we poor people only have to hope that it will continue to get subbed.
