Ji Chang-wook, Sooyoung, and Sung Dong-il make wishes come true in new promos

by tccolb

With the premiere now just a week away, more promos have been released for KBS’s upcoming melodrama If You Wish Upon Me.

In a story about finding peace and fulfillment – even if in life’s final moments – Ji Chang-wook (The Sound of Magic) stars as the lost soul Yoon Kyeo-rae, who ends up joining the volunteer group, Team Genie, at a hospice dedicated to palliative care.

With the mission of making the last wishes of patients a reality, Team Genie is led by Sung Dong-il (Ghost Doctor) in the role of Kang Tae-shik and Hospice Nurse Seo Yeon-ju, who is played by Sooyoung (Run On).

In the supporting cast, other Team Genie volunteers include Cook Yang Hee-kyung (Secret Royal Inspector and Joy), Cleaners Gil Hae-yeon (Voice 4) and Yoo Soon-woong (Wild Boar Hunting), as well as Jeon Chae-eun (The Devil Judge), among others.

The video teaser begins with patients explaining that their lives are nearing the end and Volunteer Leader Kang asks, “What kind of miracle are you hoping for? Don’t you know who we are? Are we not Team Genie? We are the Wish Avengers.”

As we watch Nurse Seo and the Team Genie volunteers at work, the intermittent text screens read: “Our last gift is what you wanted to see, wanted to say, or wanted to fulfill. We will make them come true.”

The teaser then closes on the lesson our hero is learning: “Death does not mean the end of everything.”

Directed by PD Kim Yong-wan (The Cursed) with scripts penned by Jo Ryung-soo, If You Wish Upon Me premieres August 10 in KBS’s Wednesday-Thursday slot.

I am looking forward to seeing this one, as it seems the difficulties of daily life will be kept in perspective by the team bonding and the focus on others. So, the team members and the families will be blessed just as much as the patients by the dreams they fulfil.

I like the older actors taking part in this one. I have found the dramas with actors across the age range in key roles which lean towards reminding us of the importance of community are a good fit for me and this looks like it will have that Reply 1988 vibe.

Same here. I understand the vibrant vibe a young cast can give to any story, even when it is dealing with a toxic environment, but an older cast make you reflect even more.

I have been looking forward to see JCW’s KBS drama IF YOU WISH UPON ME for a long time and sweated out availability angst with will it be in Netflix or not and ultimately Viki picked it up.

(Kocowa should have carried this drama and I have it on my calendar to cancel my Kocowa subscription in September if Big 3 drama availability doesn’t vastly improve.)

I'm preparing myself for the heartfelt stories... On that note, I gotta go buy a box of tissues. I just know i'm going to shed tears throughout this drama.
