When the heartwarming hospice drama If You Wish Upon Me kicked off its run last month, the Korean series seemed at first to be a redemption story about the wayward Yoon Gyeo-rye, a recently released jailbird played by Ji Chang-wook, star of the romantic comedy series Backstreet Rookie. Gyeo-rye retrieves a bag of money following his release and immediately begins.
Korean drama series about an ex-convict has lost its way, with unoriginal plot devices and saccharine scenes oft patients and the protagonist’s dog dying no substitute for strong narratives and character development.
KBS' "If You Wish Upon Me" is already halfway through its finale, but it continues to receive low ratings. Unlike other healing dramas, Ji Chang Wook's series is not appealing to the public.
