Must watch!!!
Saw this on instagram and started watching last night and guys it is intense!! Had me scared but was very into it that i watched it until 2am!
It is about a few students at Seorin High School created an app called Giripo all you do is upload a video of any wishes and wait until it comes true. But every granted wish that starts in 24-hour countdown to death. What begins as a curiosity turns into a fight for survival as 5 friends that realize they’re trapped in a supernatural curse powered by technology. As they race to break the apps deadly curse system, trust shatters and every wish comes with a price.
If you like or is looking for a new kdrama or just a horror show I most definitely recommend this show!
Okay, so after my initial binge of 'If Wishes Could Kill' on Netflix, I just had to share more thoughts, especially about the infamous Giripo app. This show isn't just another high school drama; it's a deep dive into how easily technology can turn sinister and the terrifying price of getting everything you wish for. I've seen a lot of horror, but this one genuinely got under my skin. The concept of the Giripo app is terrifyingly simple yet brilliant. Imagine being able to upload any wish – wealth, popularity, revenge – and seeing it come true. But there's this chilling twist: a 24-hour death countdown starts ticking away. It preys on human desires, showing how desperate people become when faced with a seemingly easy solution to their problems. What really got me was how the app wasn't just a plot device; it felt like a living, breathing entity, manipulating the students of Seorin High. It feeds on their fears and secrets, turning their dreams into nightmares. It makes you wonder how quickly we'd fall for something like that in real life. This isn't your typical jump-scare horror. 'If Wishes Could Kill' (which, by the way, is the official title, though many are searching for the 'Giripo app' show!) masterfully blends supernatural elements with a very modern, tech-driven fear. The psychological suspense is incredibly well-done. You're constantly wondering who made the app, why, and how these kids, like Se-ah, can possibly break free from its grip. The stakes are incredibly high, and the show keeps you guessing with every granted wish and every ticking clock. The tension is almost unbearable at times, making it impossible to look away. I found myself really rooting for the main characters, especially seeing how this curse affects their friendships and trust. The desperation they face, realizing their wishes came with such a dark price, is palpable. The performances, particularly from actors like Jeon So-young (who plays one of the key roles, from what I've gathered from the episode details), really bring the horror and emotional turmoil to life. You empathize with their initial curiosity that quickly spirals into a fight for survival, and you can't help but feel their fear and desperation. If you're on the hunt for a KDrama that's genuinely unsettling, thought-provoking, and keeps you on the edge of your seat, give 'If Wishes Could Kill' a watch on Netflix. It's listed as TV-MA for a reason – expect intense themes and a really dark narrative. It's more than just a horror show; it’s a cautionary tale about unchecked desires and the hidden costs of instant gratification, especially when technology is involved. I'm still thinking about it days later, wondering what I would wish for if I ever came across a 'Giripo app' myself... and if it would be worth it.
