This movie adaptation was WAY better than the show
I have to admit, I very much hesitated to watch the movie because I honestly didn't care for the drama. I gave the show 5/10 stars overall because I honestly found it boring. But I saw that it was available on Netflix in my region, which I found quite impressive as my region is often short of Korean movies, so I thought I might as well rewatch the story.
Needless to say, I honestly think the movie was way better in literally every aspect.
The story felt more whole than it did in the drama. There were even so many new clips and sequences added that it made me wonder if I accidentally skipped some show episodes. I don't want to mention specifics that could spoil anything, but there was so much more to unpack and it honestly made the story make way more sense. Some lines and moments weren't featured in the drama that just made sense to the storyline. They portrayed the story so much better in the movie.
Acting-wise, yes, it was a little basic. But because the editing in this movie was better than in the show, it somehow made the acting seem better and more complete. I mentioned in my review of the drama that I enjoyed Lee Sang (Yoon Sang-Yi)'s acting, and that is still true.
The background music also varied which made the movie seem more emotional in a sense. One thing I didn't like about the drama was how much time the music took up. Like yes, obviously it was a show about music, but each 10-minute episode spent at least 3 minutes playing a song, not to mention that "Wish You" got replayed too many times. But this movie did a good job of varying the music. "Wish You" was played not that many times, and when it was, it was different parts of the song.
If you want to watch Wish You, I recommend watching the movie rather than the drama. It was a nice watch, even though I did get a little distracted. If you like the trailer, you should watch it. But if it doesn't interest you, then don't, since it's not that~ great of a watch. But I still enjoyed it!
