This series will show it's first two episodes on Viki on Friday 4th December and like Viki's previous Korean BL's, each episode will last around 10 minutes each.

It is so weird to see how Korean BL is different from Thai BL. It really feels like Korean BL are just films that they cut up into 10 min chunks. Wonder when we will actually get a Korean BL series where each ep is 40+ min
Obviously, I will still be watching it when it comes out tomorrow

I'm really liking this series but I'm not sure why. The storyline is fairly inconsequential and incredibly slow paced. We're already at the halfway point and the guys have barely had a decent conversation between them. Still it's very sweet and I can't help but find Sang Yi crushing on In Soo really charming to watch. The one thing that does irk me though is the brevity of the episodes. Even by South Korean standards these are annoyingly short. They're down as being ten minutes long but Ep3 is only 8 minutes and Ep4 touches on 9. Considering that also includes the opening credits, it barely feels like there's a morsel to get your teeth into before it's gone. That version of the Wish You song where Sang Yi added the piano arrangement and sang along to it in Ep2 was great. I hope they release it properly.  Why does no one answer the door to me like that?

Ahh! Found the version I like. It's taken at a slightly slower pace and has more violins, but I expect it's as close as I'm going to get.
Apologies for bombarding the thread with a million different versions of this song!

I've just finished watching this and even though the storyline barely got out of first gear I still liked it a lot. I thought the cinematography was lovely at times, especially when they gave us all those soft focus close-up's of In Soo and Sang Yi deeply gazing at each other. I'll admit (for me) that much of what I liked about this show was probably connected to the amount of kilig I got from the visuals. Due to the brevity of the series I wasn't really expecting any last minute drama but they still threw some at us anyway. It came out of nowhere and wasn't really resolved, but it also didn't seem to make much difference to the ending so... <shrugs>. Maybe once S.Korea gets past this obsession they have with bite-size episodes we'll get better pacing and story development in their BL's. The rooftop scene in the last episode was a delight. It was all set up to show off the rich slow-mo' visuals as the boys performed the full blown orchestral version of the OST, so why did they pan out of it so quickly? That was a terrible editing decision and a huge missed opportunity IMO. I suppose S.Korea are still finding their feet with their BL's. WYEL, Mr Heart, and Wish You have all had great moments in them somewhere, and Color Rush is looking very promising so it's probably unfair to expect everything to be perfect straight away.  Ok, It might have been one of those 'push lips together and count to ten' kisses but it still looked dreamy. |

The movie version of Wish You has now been released. It contains 20 minutes of extra footage that wasn't in the series and is available on VIKI (currently without subs) and Netflix (with subs). For those with Netflix, here's the link EDIT - The VIKI version has now has subs too. Here's the VIKI link. |

The extra scenes helped fill in some of the gaps, but the main issues I had with the show still remained. Mainly that the relationship developed way too fast and that the dad issue was never resolved
