Sung Dong-il, Sooyoung, Ji Chang-wook
After seeing this lineup, I’m doubly excited for upcoming drama If You Tell Me Your Wish. Sung Dong-il (Sisyphus) and Sooyoung (Run On, So I Married an Anti-fan) join Ji Chang-wook (Lovestruck in the City) in this healing human drama. It’s based on a true story about a Dutch organization that grants the last wishes of terminal cancer patients.
Ji Chang-wook plays the part of Yoon Kyeo-re, an orphan who has bounced around from juvie to jail, losing all his hopes, dreams, and will to live. After an incident, he’s sentenced to mandatory volunteering at a hospice facility. He meets patients who are on the verge of passing, and slowly, their interactions begin his own healing process.
Similarly, Sung Dong-il plays Kang Tae-shik, the director of volunteer services at the hospice who came there after losing his meaning in life. Sooyoung plays Seo Yeon-joo, a nurse who gives hope to terminal patients who are nearing their last moments.
Directed by Kim Yong-wan (The Cursed) and written by Jo Ryung-soo (Golden Slumber), If You Tell Me Your Wish will be produced by Climax Studios (D.P.) and will air on A&E Korea, a channel that’s jointly funded by global media giants, Disney and Hearst. There are also plans in the works to expand If You Tell Me Your Wish to adaptations in other countries, if it proves popular in Korea.
