The trailer to the K-Drama begins with MiJeong’s classmates whispering that she is a witch. It then pans to MiJeong admitting that weird things have happened around her since she was young. We then see a male student waving to MiJeong. Suddenly, the male student gets struck by lightning while riding his bike. 

The scene then shows another male student talking to MiJeong, but he suddenly passes out. We learn from the next scene that he actually died. Rumors continue to spread about MiJeong’s involvement, and she is forced to leave the school. 

Fast-forwarding to the future, DongJin is sitting on the subway when he hears a man profess his love to MiJeong. A series of accidents appear as MiJeong recalls what happened to the previous men who confessed to her. We then see the subway man on the ground, getting CPR by one of the subway riders.
