    Great acting and storyline!

    I was one of those hesitant viewers in the beginning thinking this is going to be a pretty sad storyline. I know I'll watch it eventually because of JCW. Needless to say but, he is a great actor. Good thing I did! Unique storyline, no fear in divulging on realistic and different sorts of trauma and pain, and great acting from the whole cast. I also love how they made the female lead character to be strong and witty. That natural and easy connection between JCW and SY is quite charming. Each episode gives you that character and storyline development that you look for and keeps you wanting to watch more. Congratulations to IYWUM team. Great work!

    Everyone must watch the drama in their lifetime

    I must say what a Amazing Drama #ifyouwishuponme was 🔥👏Started to watch only for Ji Chang wook Acting but Ended up falling in love with the Beautiful concept,amazing Acting by entire cast, goosebumps direction and script the message the drama conveyed Amazing EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS TIME FOR ONCE IN THEIR LIFE TIME Hencs Trust Our Mann #jichangwook for choosing the Amazing Script and Amazing Character YOUN GYO RYE. This Drama contains each and every emotion that one person can experience in their life ,it shows how we can be helpful to others in our lifetime. The Character development of Ji chang wook in drama was exceptional🔥👍👏

    I so wanted to like this one, too heavy and predictable for me.

    Topics are too heavy and it's the typical Script that pursues an easy heartstring pull. ( death, sickness, over the top emotional) it is just an elaborate display of good people suffering so you feel for them.

    This one is not for the cynical, I honestly find too unbelievably that the whole staff of an hospice would stop literally everything for days even weeks just to grant a wish to a dying patient. I mean, it's a beautiful thought, but naive nonetheless.

    The other thing that bothers me is that they seem to know EXACTLY when everyone is going to die, what an amazing superpower... again unrealistic is to say too little about this drama.

    I am aware that the show is well written and the acting is outstanding but I guess it's not the series for me. I want to be able to enjoy a drama and with this one I haven't been able too! What a shame.

    HEART-WARMING & HEALING

    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!

    Worth watching it

    The roles of selfless warm hearted nurse and the Genie leader plus the transformed orphan with dark past makes the story great and meaningful. The leads and supporting casts are all great in their own roles.

    But I wasn't satisfied with the limited scenes of the lead male and orphanage sister. Their relationship is a diversion of the hospital scenes which includes the unnecessary details of the patients' lives. Though their relationship became toxic, it seems it's more interesting if their past were shown a little more. I found CJW more charming playing tough yet supportive to her sister. The funny thing is they has been sleeping together but he never been attracted to her non biological pretty sister. I like their chemistry so there should have at least more development about them in the story.
