– Becoming Witch Episode 9 Review Contains Mild Spoilers –
Becoming Witch Episode 9 opens with a mini recap of 10 minutes of what happened in the previous episode. We see Jin-a attacking Woo-bin and almost beating him to death whereas Ma-ri attacks Nak-gu. Hui-su is seen back at her home destroying her husband’s camera and enjoying her alone time as her husband fights to get off the plane to get back his camera. Hui-su receives a call from her friends to aid them.
The three meet at the old gas station which happens to be Jin-a scene of the crime and together they shit Woo-bin’s body in the trunk of the car and en route to an unknown destination. Nak-gu is discovered by the paramedics at his house and is only injured in his head. He is visited by the police investigating Ma-ri’s whereabouts as she is missing. Ma-ri, on the other hand, with her friends visits the Oracle for help, who suggests burying Woo-bin’s body.
Nak-gu tries contacting Go-eun but, is unable to get in touch with her. With Ma-ri missing and realizing she had threatened to kill Go-eun previously, Nak-gu sets out to find where Ma-ri is and if she is responsible for missing Go-eun. He shows the police a video of Ma-ri exiting the apartment but, they are of no help probing him to take a step.

The three women get supplements for burying Woo-bin and we discover Go-eun’s phone with Ma-ri. Nak-gu gets a credit bill of Ma-ri’s transaction and gets the location for Go-eun’s phone and sets out to find them. The women head towards an empty landscape to bury Woo-bin but, not before Jin-a receives a call from Woo-bin’s phone where we see the serial killer on the loose singing his iconic song to her.
Jin-a is panicked but, the three end up at the location of burying and start digging the hole. While digging Hui-su feels nauseous and lies to her friends that she is pregnant. As a happy Hui-su sits by and Jin-a and Ma-ri celebrate being aunts soon, we see that Nak-gu has already reached the place and discovers Woo-bin’s body. However, Woo-bin is pretty much alive. But, Nak-gu does not find Go-eun’s body.
The women get a hint of something is wrong and go to check the trunk when Woo-bin attacks them. But, he falls short in the face of three angry women and they decide to bury him alive with his head out of the ground. Go-eun’s phone which is with Ma-ri notifies her of Nak-gu being in close proximity and before long Nak-gu tries attacking Ma-ri but, ends up falling into the dug hole.
