Netflix announced that production for All the Love You Wish For (previously All Shall Come True) is well underway, releasing stills from the drama’s first script reading with our opposites-attract main pair: Kim Woo-bin (Black Knight) and Suzy (Doona). It’s been almost eight years since the actors previously starred in a melodrama that I refuse to mention and I beseech the drama gods to deliver only fluffy rainbows with this new fantasy rom-com.
Our hero is the ~magical~ genie played by Kim Woo-bin, who has been sadly hidden and trapped inside his lamp for what must be more than a thousand years. Understandably, our slumbering beauty is an exploding ball of emotions once he’s finally awoken and greets his now-master in present-day South Korea.
Enter Suzy in the role of Ga-young who – in contrast to Genie – is described as a jaded and emotionless character. Although discovering the lamp is a stroke of much needed fortune for our heroine, it’s also a curse for Genie as he’s bound by the rules of his lore to grant three wishes to his current master. I expect we’ll be getting some hanky-panky development as well once Cupid’s arrows start flying in both directions.
Rounding out our story’s world with an ensemble cast, the series also stars Ahn Eun-jin (Goodbye Earth) as Ga-young’s puzzling roommate Mi-joo, who seems to be hiding her real identity. On Genie’s side, Noh Sang-hyun (Soundtrack #2) plays his rival and brother Soo-hyun, a building owner and man of suspicious wealth.
Thankfully, though, our OTP do have people they can trust with Go Kyu-pil (Frankly Speaking) playing Genie’s confidante Sade – whose true form is a jaguar – and Lee Joo-young (The 8 Show) in the part of Ga-young’s only friend and bestie Min-ji.
Production for the series has an intriguing duo leading the team with hit writer Kim Eun-sook (The Glory, Mr. Sunshine) penning the scripts and PD Lee Byung-heon (Chicken Nugget, Be Melodramatic) as the talent behind the camera.
