At Seorin High School, a group of students discover "Girigo", a mobile application that claims to grant users' wishes. Following the sudden death of a classmate, a connection is discovered between the application and a series of supernatural omens predicting the deaths of other students.
Yoo Se Ah, Lim Na Ri, Kim Geon Woo, Kang Ha Joon, and Choi Hyeong Wook attempt to stop the cycle of deaths by investigating the apps origins.
When going on to Netflix a snippet from the series played and it had me interested as it was my type of drama. Skye had also seen the same snippet and was thinking of watching it too, so we sat and binged the whole 8 episodes in one day.
From start to finish this drama had me hooked, the cast were amazing and the plot constantly had you guessing as well as sitting on the edge of your seat. I love how it concluded and I love how it teased that it wasn't all over, it made me wonder whether a new curse had been put into place.
I loved Jeon So Young as Yoo Se Ah, you can tell she's a character that adores her friends and will do anything to try and help them. Which we witness during the drama when Geon Woo is in need of help. She really brought her character to life, and did and amazing job of holding the whole drama together.5+5
I loved Kang Mina as Lim Na Ri, you can tell she loves her friends, and enjoys being part of the friend group, but you can also tell she thinks she's better than them. Personally I don't think she fits within the friend group anymore as she has different priorities to them, but because they're childhood friends she continues to stick with them. I definitely think she's jealous of how close Se Ah is to everyone.
I really liked Baek Sun Ho as Kim Geon Woo. His priority is Se Ah, but you can tell he adores his friends and will have their backs if they need him.
I really liked Hyun Woo Seok as Kang Ha Joon. I had serious 2nd male lead syndrome with Ha Joon. It seems that his friend group is just his childhood friends but he really likes Se Ah. As soon as she's in danger he jumps straight into action and gets her to somewhere he knows they can help, even if he's not spoken to them in a while.
I really liked Lee Hyo Je as Choi Hyeong Wook, without giving too much away, I think he's the most naïve and unsure of himself in the friend group. He seems to be easily manipulated, even when he's known his friends since childhood.
I really liked Jeon So Nee as Haetsal, she's Ha Joon's brother and seems to have a curse on her which doesn't allow her to leave her residence. But she's happy to help Se Ah when she wants to get to the bottom of this weird cursed app.
I really loved Roh Jae Won as Bangwool. For me he stole the show, it was nice to see him in a role that wasn't as manipulative and selfish, it really showed how talented he is as an actor. I loved the comedy he brought to a dark show.
I thought Choi Joo Eun did an amazing job as Kwon Si Won. Appearance is everything to Si Won, she hates that her mum is a shaman and believes she's responsible for her fathers death. We come to learn that not all is what it seems, and she will through anyone under the bus if anyone figures out her background, even her best friend.
I absolutely loved Kim Si A as Do Hye Ryung, she's a quiet and timid girl, who will do anything and everything for her best friend, Si Won. Everyone believes her mother is the shaman, and she keeps it that way to keep Si Won's secret, even until the very end and after all the betrayal, she keeps those secrets.
If you like horror and mystery, then I definitely recommend If Wishes Could Kill, while a majority of the drama is dark there are times of comedy that lift the mood slightly. There were parts of the show that I guessed the outcome, but from the very first episode, it had me on the edge of my seat.
