Have a Wish Worth Dying For? Netflix's First Korean YA Horror Series 'If Wishes Could Kill' Premieres April 24
Be careful what you wish for - especially on an app. Netflix has set April 24 as the global premiere date of If Wishes Could Kill, its first Korean YA horror series, and unveiled the teaser trailer and poster. Centered on a wish-granting app called Girigo that demands a deadly price, the series blends school-life drama with occult chills and a rising young cast. While delivering suspense, occult elements and the dread of an inescapable countdown, If Wishes Could Kill focuses also on friendship, growth and emotional bonds, as much as it does on scares.
Set at Seorin High School, If Wishes Could Kill follows five friends - Yoo Se-ah (Jeon So-young), Lim Na-ri (Kang Mi-na), Kim Geon-woo (Baek Sun-ho), Kang Ha-joon (Hyun Woo-seok), and Choi Hyeong-wook (Lee Hyo-je) - whose ordinary days are shattered when their wishes start coming true under terrifying conditions. Director Park Youn-seo, who previously served as second unit director on Kingdom Season 2 and co-directed Moving, helms the series with a script by Park Joong-seop.
The main poster and trailer deepen the mystery surrounding Girigo, transforming an ordinary classroom into a space charged with dread. Featuring the five friends staring pensively ahead and an ominous red glow cast by the Girigo app on their phones, the poster hints at something sinister closing in - especially with an unknown student sitting in the back, holding a red phone.
The main trailer opens with a deceptively light tone as Hyeong-wook introduces Girigo to his friends after unexpectedly acing an exam, presenting it as an app that grants wishes. But the mood quickly darkens when those wishes start coming true, triggering a mysterious 24-hour timer and a chain of unexplainable, increasingly terrifying events. As fear takes hold of the group, scenes of shaman Haetsal (Jeon So-nee) and Bangwool (Roh Jae-won) performing a ritual to help them suggest a desperate race to break Girigo's deadly curse before time runs out.
If Wishes Could Kill follows in the footsteps of Netflix's commitment to backing up-and-coming talent, as well as expanding the range of its Korean series lineup - from romantic comedies and revenge thrillers to its first YA horror story.
If Wishes Could Kill premieres April 24, only on Netflix.
