If You Wish Upon Me

A young man played by Ji Chang-wook on getting out of prison is immediately pursued by the thugs of a gangster he owes money to. He ends up in a confrontation and has to do community service at a local hospice where a group of people called team genie try to meet the last wish of the occupants. The leader of team genie is played by Sung Dong-il and Choi Soo-young is the feisty nurse who grows to like the new help but will he stay after he has completed his hours ? It is a super cast with many great performance and will warm your heart as the cold and distant unloved orphan finds happiness in his life for the first time. Be prepared to have your heart strings tugged as you witness the final moments of people's lives and the sometime simple and sometime complicated dreams before they die. It has other side stories running through it and is great viewing over the sixteen episodes.

This drama was like a warm hug from an old friend during a rainy day.

Everything about the drama feels very genuine. The plot is realistic, not rushed nor slow, and the dialogues are sincere. Every episode contains a heartwarming story and I found myself tearing up and crying long wet tears each time I watched an episode. It wasn't because the stories were sad, but because how heart touching they were.

The cast did a fantastic job by presenting us these lovable characters who each have layered personalities. Ji Changwook's acting is masterful yet again, and he brings out a great main character that you would always root for. His micro expressions throughout the drama had me hooked. I loved Soyoung's nurse as well. She was unproblematic, real, extremely kind, and badass as well!

Everyone else did a remarkable job in every aspect. I never felt time passing when I watched an episode.

A must see! Definitely recommended.

I Highly recommend this amazing Drama.

Don't mind bad reviews this show is totally worth the watch.

Depicts one of the saddest moment of life, but also address major and profound impact terminal illness have among relatives of those people and the long term effects of this traumatic event and its ending. Nonetheless, the show create an important healing journey, of such events on its characters which talks profoundly to viwers thanks to amazing performances, production and cinematography.

The subplot of the biological father is one of the turn off for me, because the content of the drama it's already heavy and too emotional and his monstrous behavior it's too much to bear. This is my reason for a 9/10 rate.

As someone with experience with terminal ill patients I think this heavy subject must be treated with care and attention because may be easily become something the viewers end up giving up watching before the closure because of the emotional impact in the memories of such traumas.

Such a good drama. Of course I started to see the drama because of Ji Chang-Wook who, in my opinion, has the prettiest smile of all the Korean actors. I love all dramas he is in and would watch every one.

I was hesitant at the beginning because I do not like to cry in movies or dramas but, although I did cry in almost every episode at the beginning, I stayed with it. So happy I did. The drama develops into peoples' life and co-workers relationships. Some mystery, love and bad vs. Good people.

I like Sooyoungs' character in the drama, saying what she thinks and acting upon it as an adult. She fights for what she wants and I like it. Not dragging misunderstandings for too many episodes is a plus.

But my biggest pleasure was Sung Dong-Il. In this drama is is excellent. I saw him in many other dramas but I think he is the best in this one.

A must see drama.

I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS DRAMA! It's an adaptation and they really did a wonderful job. Every episode, they come up with more meaningful things. Scenes, songs, and especially actors are amazing. Some of the scenes really got me motivated. I can't hold my tears at every episode but also i can't wait to watch the next episode. I especially love the scenes that they make the patient's last wishes become real. The topic of death can be really depressing but they convey it naturally and reminding that it's only normal in human nature. Congrats to the all the team!

Ps. Ji Chang Wook, again, you didn't dissapoint with your amazing acting, thank you!
