Ji Chang Wook, Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung, Won Ji An, And Sung Dong Il On How “If You Wish Upon Me” Highlights The Best Of Humanity

 

On August 10, KBS2’s upcoming drama “If You Wish Upon Me” had an online press conference with director Kim Yong Wan and actors Ji Chang Wook, Girls’

Generation’s Sooyoung, Sung Dong Il, and Won Ji An. Sung Dong Il arrived late due to road blockages caused by heavy rain in Seoul and surrounding areas.

 

“If You Wish Upon Me” is a drama inspired by an actual organization in the Netherlands that fulfills the wishes of terminal cancer patients. A touching story will unfold as a young man who has been pushed to his limits by a life full of struggles joins the staff at a hospice in fulfilling the last wishes of people in the final stretches of their lives.

 

Director Kim Yong Wan expressed his satisfaction with the starring cast, saying, “Ji Chang Wook, Sung Dong Il, Choi Sooyoung, and Won Ji An all got along from the moment they met, as if they’d been good friends for 10 years. Naturally, the mood on set was great. I was just thankful that they took part in this sincere drama.”

 

 

Ji Chang Wook will star in the drama as Yoon Gyeo Re, who is just barely holding on with no desire or motivation to live. At the hospice, his character works alongside Kang Tae Shik, the leader of “Team Genie” (played by Sung Dong Il).

 

Ji Chang Wook commented, “I’m back at KBS seven years after ‘Healer.’ I debuted at KBS, so it’s kind of like my hometown. It’s a new type of feeling. The script was one that made me think a lot. I started getting an urge to portray this ‘Yoon Gyeo Re’ character well.”

 

He continued, “I especially contemplated the process of how Yoon Gyeo Re would open his heart to others and get closer to them. It wasn’t easy, but I learned a lot from my fellow co-stars and staff members, and I had fun during filming.”

 

Sooyoung said, “I liked the character of Seo Yeon Joo as she was depicted in the script, because she was healthy. I was looking for a project where the ensemble plays an important role, and that’s when I came upon ‘If You Wish Upon Me.’ Plus, Ji Chang Wook and Sung Dong Il had been confirmed for the series, so I also decided to join the cast with no hesitation.”

The cast members described how nice it was to be on set, with Ji Chang Wook saying, “I’m thankful to Choi Sooyoung. She’s a cheerful person in general, so the mood on set was also upbeat thanks to her. She has a certain charm that makes you feel at ease. I was able to get close to her easily. I think that good energy will also show in our characters’ relationship onscreen. I had a great time working on the drama.”

 

Sooyoung responded, “I was able to take on a supportive role because Ji Chang Wook and Sung Dong Il first created that kind of environment on set. Any team that contemplates and discusses the script together with you on set is a huge source of strength, and the ‘If You Wish Upon Me’ team was exactly like that. I depended on them a lot.”

Ji Chang Wook Creates A Chilly Atmosphere With His Skeptical Attitude In “If You Wish Upon Me”

Team Genie is not impressed with Ji Chang Wook in “If You Wish Upon Me”!

 

“If You Wish Upon Me” is a new drama inspired by a real organization in the Netherlands that fulfills the wishes of terminal cancer patients. Ji Chang Wook will star as Yoon Gyeo Re, a man who has been pushed to his limits by a difficult life full of struggles. However, when Yoon Gyeo Re winds up having to volunteer at a hospice, he finds his life changing in unexpected ways while helping to make the patients’ wishes come true.

 

Spoilers

In the first episode of the drama, Yoon Gyeo Re was released from prison but unexpectedly ending up crossing paths with Team Genie. Due to a messy car accident, he was given a choice: either pay a fine or do community service. Kang Tae Shik (Sung Dong Il), the team leader, talked to the judge in order to make Yoon Gyeo Re work at the hospice, and the episode ended with his very late arrival.

 

Newly released stills show Yoon Gyeo Re at the hospice, and he catches attention with his colorful shirt and luxury suit. Team Genie is cheerfully enjoying bibimbap together, and they laugh warmly as they spend quality time together. However, the atmosphere rapidly turns icy when Yoon Gyeo Re says something to them, and thick awkwardness surrounds them.

 

In the final photo, Yeom Soon Ja (Yang Hee Kyung) gives Yoon Gyeo Re an unexpected gift as he leaves, and his eyes are filled with wariness. Yoon Gyeo Re, who isn’t used to people’s kindness, will find the hospice family’s warmth unfamiliar. Like the “broken adult child” he is, he will act contrary to his heart and give the members of Team Genie a difficult time.

Episode 2 of “If You Wish Upon Me” will air on August 11 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
