Right now, The Witch is on Rakuten Viki, sitting at 8/10 on TMDB. Consistently well-regarded, and easy to understand why once you start watching. The procedural format can be hit and miss at this level of ambition, but The Witch handles it with more confidence than most. The 34 viewer ratings on TMDB are not an accident — shows that sustain that level of engagement across their run have earned it. A single, focused run means there is no filler — every episode carries weight. Get it started on Rakuten Viki and see why so many viewers already have strong opinions about it.

At its heart, The Witch is a procedural that understands what makes the genre work — character first, plot second. The story of a woman who is kicked out of her village and called a "witch" when the men that she likes get hurt or die, and a man who risks his life to try to save her from the law of death. Jinyoung and Roh Jeong-eui lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2025. The consistency across the run is what elevates it — not every episode is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry episodes where the mystery takes a breath — The Witch passes that test consistently.

Perfect for viewers who think they have already seen all the great crime dramas. The Witch is the one that tends to prove them wrong. The writing earns its twists rather than manufacturing them, and the result is a show where the resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary. Fans of Motherland: Fort Salem will recognise the tonal balance between tension and character work. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. If you are going to commit to one procedural this month, make it this one.
