If You Wish Upon Me review
당신이 소원을 말하면Checked and re-read
A hospice drama that earns every tear instead of manufacturing them. Ji Chang Wook plays against type as a man who has been unwanted his whole life and it is the best work he has done: quiet, damaged, and never played for charm. The wish-granting premise gives each episode a clean arc, and the found family at the hospice is written with genuine care. The second half is weaker than the first and the romance is an afterthought, but the final stretch is devastating because the show spent fourteen hours teaching you to love a character the world did not love.
A convict who finds himself staring into the abyss is ordered to work at a facility for the terminally ill. Will the experience help reverse his unhappy destiny?
Slow start Episode 3, once the hospice wish-granting team is fully assembled.
