The soundtrack for this little series is amazing, so much so I often find myself with the songs stuck in my head and singing along.
Kang In Soo - Wish For You Acoustic
Lee Sang - Closer to You
Lee Sang - Perfect Day
Runy - Be My Love
Kang In Soo & Lee Sang - Wish For You
A free spirited singer whose love of music has him performing on the streets, Kang In Soo's life resolves completely around music. Supported by his friends, In Soo hopes to someday turn his love of music into a full-time career, but doing so isn't easy. Refusing to give up on his dreams, In Soo continues busking, day in and day out, while his best friend, Choi Min Sung, records his performances and uploads them on YouTube. Little does either of them know that In Soo's performances have caught the attention of someone who could change the young musician's life.
A keyboardist working at a major record company, Yoon Sang Yi is always on the lookout for new talent. After stumbling upon In Soo's videos Sang Yi has become one of the singers biggest fans. Convinced In Soo could make it big, he recommends the young artist join his company's rookie discovery project. Seeing this opportunity in this invitation, In Soo accepts the offer and and soon moves into the company residence with Sang Yi.
As the two live and work together, their relationship grows and slowly, new feelings begin to blossom. Unfortunately, as their feelings grow, so do the obstacles that stand in their way.
Will In Soo and Sang Yi be able to find a way to overcome the trials before them or will their love fade before ever having a chance to fully bloom?

While this drama was originally released last year, I'm counting it in my dramas of 2021, with the episode being put together and made into a film and released this year. I'm a sucker for BL dramas, I'm not ashamed to say they're my guilty pleasure, whether it be a drama, anime, manga or webtoon.
I originally came across Wish You on my Netflix, it was showing as a title that would be coming soon so I hit the remind me button, it wasn't until I was having a nosey on Viki that I came across a drama of the same name so checked it out and realised it was the same one, so decided to give it a binge watch. Like most Asian BL dramas, especially Korean, it was a short and sweet series and I absolutely adored it, if I'm being completely honest I think it's one of my favourite BL dramas to be released.
I loved the cast, the plot and the script, I thought it was well written my only criticism is the fact that, I think it would have worked so much better as a longer series, allowing the viewers to be able to get more in depth back stories for the characters and to see how everything developed more naturally rather than rushed. While I do think it was slightly rushed, the plot and episodes seemed to run smoothly, meaning you're never left confused about what's happening.
Like Sang Yi, I couldn't help falling in love with In Soo, Kang In Soo has a smile that just melts everything away, I was actually unfamiliar with his as an idol, even though I had heard of his group before. I can't help but feel that how friendly and caring the character In Soo is that Kang In Soo is exactly the same in real life, I did at times wonder if In Soo was trying to come to terms with how his feelings were changing towards Sang Yi, this is one of the things I think if the episodes and series were longer, we could have delved more into as a story.
I thought Lee Sang brought a naivety to his role as Sang Yi, I can feel that like with Kang In Soo, that Lee Sang is also like his character, minus the naivety, which is why I think he did amazing bringing that to the screen, he brought be a fan of an artist to the screen with ease and I definitely got from the start that he harboured strong feelings and emotions towards In Soo.
I loved Baek Seo Bin as In Soo's friend Choi Min Seong, even though he works, he's willing to give up his spare time to support his friend and help him achieve his dreams. You can tell they have a close friendship and rely on one another, and he's doesn't seemed phased when he sees In Soo and Yang Si getting closer and even supports them when they become even closer.
I couldn't help smiling and giggling at Su Bin as Lee Yoo Jin as she's not only a work colleague of Yang Si's you can tell they're close friends too, she often jokes with Sang Yi by flirting with him as she knows it catches him off guard and knows he's too nice and polite to try and turn her down. She's very professional when it comes to her work and will happily help Sang Yi to get ahead too, as she knows and believes he's capable of doing the job.
I could watch the drama and film all day, everyday, I enjoy watching it so much. I think it all fits perfectly together and it doesn't feel like you've been watching it long. It's well written and well acted to the point you can't help but love all the characters. I'd love to see another short series or film to see how things have changed since we last saw them.
I'd highly recommend this series, even as a film the episodes blend together really well, it never fails to put a smile on my face.
