Netflix has released the first official teaser trailer for “If Wishes Could Kill,” an upcoming series that the streamer is promoting as their first Korean young adult horror series.
“If Wishes Could Kill” will premiere April 24 on Netflix.
Centered on a wish-granting app called Girigo that demands a deadly price, the Netflix horror 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.
Netflix said in a statement, “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.”
