There is a new K-drama in town, and it is the talk of the moment. Titled If Wishes Could Kill, it starts as a high school drama but soon slips into horror and gore. At its core is a mobile application called Girigo that grants wishes. However, it comes with a cost. The series opens on an unsettling note where we see Do Hye-ryung, a schoolgirl, slitting her throat open in front of her phone, after saying, "My wish is for all of you to die." It immediately pulls you in, even if the presence of a more advanced smartphone in that time period feels like a miss.
