Desejo A Você: Sua Melodia Do Meu Coração (2020)

These Short Series Are Killing Meeeee

So before I go into the review I just need to say, WE WANT LONGER SERIES!!! Korea is notorious now for making short BL's and it's driving me nuts. "Mr.Heart" did it, but with that I didn't really feel the need for more necessarily. This series though I could definitely see having been an amazing full series! They had great casting and music, so why not just lengthen the episodes? Having 15 minute episodes doesn't give enough time to develop plot and characters enough. We wanted more and we needed more. Though they also released a film version on Netflix and I actually prefer it that way! It flows better as a short film and they added some contextual scenes.

First off, the music in this is BEAUTIFUL holy crap. That first scene of In Soo singing curbside was amazing. Great cinematography in this of the city, really pretty. The story was interesting and I liked seeing bits of the business behind becoming a musician in Korea. I would've loved to see a whole series of it, but what we got was still good. The final episode could've been better though. I didn't like the suicidal implications the show was giving, to just throw that away as a misdirect? Wasn't a fan, but seeing the two leads make their own music and business together was nice.

I'm actually curious how this series happened, because the two leads are kpop singers in respective groups? Using their real names in an lgbtq drama!? That's amazing and much appreciated. I hope for more of this down the line (which it seems like there are more and more series being announced for 2021), but definitely with longer premises and episodes!

Would Recommend to Watch!

Honestly, I enjoyed watching this kdrama. The actors were both very attractive if your into that. The supporting roles did well in the drama. I love the music in this drama that I even added it to my Spotify list. Every time I listen to it, it gives me chills cause of how good they sound together when singing. One thing I will say is that I wish there was a season 2 for this, I really want to continue watching them.

Overall, I would totally recommend watching this if you haven’t yet!

Series and edited into film

I watched the film, as sometimes find such short episodes interruot the story's flow.
Kang In Soo and Lee Sang are really sweet together. Their characters are quite understated; there's no OTT melodrama or unnatural discomfort. Sang-yi's slightly shy and humble, yet supportive and positive personality sits so well against In-soo's deeper more confident one. They compliment each other well.
The 2 more intimate scenes were nicely done and the actors were believable. No wooden or uncomfortable posturing.
I liked the story, but did feel that some of the scenes in which feelings were being individually contemplated, against the fitting soundtrack, were a little lengthy. They could have been shortened and a bit more added to other parts of the story; possibly their relationship deepening, or a bigger hint of their musical success to come.
A very nice watch though.

Such a beautiful film.

The many additional scenes were delightful and helped character development. And of course, the music is exquisite. Love the soft romantic undertones that shine mostly through the eyes. There is hardly anything explicit, not even the two simple and short kisses. It‘s the story of two kindred spirits and the solace they find in each other regardless of gender. @reb Why are you even here if you aren’t open-minded enough to accept that love is love that doesn’t need to be limited to certain pairings you would deem acceptable. Even Korea has started representing bl, which is remarkable and a good sign that acceptance is slowly developing. Let’s hope there will be more representation in the future, including all other LGBT pairings.

It’s not bad, but it’s not special either

This series had a very simple story, which I think would benefit a mini drama. But I still ended up bit disappointed with how the story ended up being so bland. I get the feeling that it would exactly the same thing if the show had 10 episodes of 40 minutes. There’s not much to be explored in this story. I also don’t get much chemistry between the leads, which also happened with the other Kang In Soo BL mini drama. The music is not bad but it also didn’t blow we away either, unfortunately.

I kind of enjoyed the open ended aspect with, apparently, the boss and music producer quitting the company to help them. But the surprise “my dad is the CEO of a conglomerate and he doesn’t want me to be a musician’ doesn’t work in my opinion. I know it’s a cliche to cut off your musician son so he has to come back and give up music. But how did In Soo’s dad expect him to stop pursuing music while living in that apartment and apparently not having to work?

It's cute

Story: The story plot is mediocre, it also felt very rushed which is understandable because they have to fit everything into 8 episodes and it also only have 10 minutes per each ep. Honestly everything is cute about it and if you want a lighthearted series this is for you!

Acting/Cast: In soo and Sang yi's chemistry is so goood I'm seriously in love with the both of them. They are both very good actors everything felt very natural.

Music: The OST's are so good and catchy, can really bring in the feels. 10/10 I love the songs so much.

Re-watch Value: Alright although the plot is mediocre there are a lot of parts in this series I really love to re-watch over and over again. In soo and Sang yi are just so good together *cries*

Overall really worth it to watch :D

Felt way too short for such a great story ♡

This series felt extra short simply because it is that GOOD! There are Short Series that makes me get bored even when it only has 10 minutes per episode but this piece is really cute and fun to watch that I was stucked on my seat the entire time.

One thing I hate about this is that, It's too short! I mean I know that all of K-BL are like this but is it wrong to ask for more? HEHE

Anyways, I'm just proud that Korea is taking their time and doing it step by step in producing BL series. They're getting braver and courageous each passing year that they finally have Kissing Scenes in BL series these days.

Story - 9.5, The story may be short and too fast-paced and all that but i never felt like it lacks something. A well made series that was put together excellently.

Acting/Cast -9, The cast did great in delivering their respective roles and what surprise me is that majority of them are Idol turned actors. I never prejudice idols but they surprise me a lot since they seemed experienced in some ways.

Music - 10, Great choice of Music. Opening, Filler BGMs and even ending song is good. They did well choosing and matching the song to each scenes.

Rewatch Value - 10, Will definitely rewatch it. It was short and you will just forget time watching it like LITERALLY it's that well done.

Overall - 9.5, An absolute drama. This series screams intelligence! A well produced and created drama. Will definitely recommend.

Please let me know if you find my reviews helpful.

I am very dissaponted because this drama could be good. I mean, the story is interesting and I saw potential in it. It's just short and not explained. The romance has been completely left out of it, we waited for the main characters to get close to each other, for emotions to develop for the other and for this to be nicely presented but this didn't happened. They didn’t show a growing romantic relationship, they didn’t talk about the kiss as if it hadn’t happened, everything stayed the same as before and it was very disappointing. The story compared to how many opportunities there was in it didn’t improve and in the end (by my fault or not) I couldn’t filter anything out of it. The acting did not bring the expected level, the dynamics between the main character couple and the personality of the main characters were missing, many times they did not play scenes as they should, I mean they could not convey the feeling they had planned. The characters are not explained, we do not understand them, we do not know their past, their motivation. Personally, I really liked the music, that’s the only reason this drama got 4.5 points from me. Although it could have been a little better than that because it was all about the music but much of the same song went.

I need more of them.

I loved it, from the begginning to the end i literally couldn't take off my eyes from the screen. The plot is super cute, the development of the love sstory and the slowburn it's adorable, they're an absolutly healty and realistic couple and overall i didn't found any flaws in this drama, the only thing maybe it's that is a bit short and the end it's kinda open. Don't get me wrong, i think it's a perfect ending for this drama and i love it the way it is, but im craving a second season, i would love to know how their story it would develop. I got really affectionated to the characters. So yes, it's awesome, i highly reccommend it and i still hope for a second season

Show Don't tell

First of all I thought this was a well thought out series with a good soundtrack and a neat transitioning into the ending To save some time of not having to switch from episode I recommend watching the movie. (I'ts the same as the series) I Would suggest that you watch Wish You if you are someone who likes series or movies that prefer to show and not tell what the characters thought process is during all of the events of the show. Instead of having a voice overs of what the characters think or having the characters repeat their thoughts to themselves in a cute but corny way they have small and subtle scenes that explains the progression of their relationship Never having the characters question out loud about how the other person feels or the meaning behind their intentions also never saying out loud what they should do about the situation. There are scenes that allow the audience know that both characters finally understand the direction of their relationship for example when we get the on scene of where in Sung leaves to so to sleep Kang In Soo opens his eyes letting the veiwers know that he is aware of In sung tracing his face. I thought that this was a fun element of the series and let me understand more about what the characters feel throughout the whole series.

The chemistry between the two main characters

I’m so happy to see more and more Korean BL and I really enjoy watching all of them, especially when they are good as “Wish You”

I had a great time watching “Wish You” because of the perfect chemistry between the two main characters Kang In Soo and Lee Sang. I found the two were perfectly aligned with the characters. Not to mention that Lee Sang played perfectly the role of this shy guy who take all of his bravery to..... a much watch scene that makes me cry (personal memories)

Don’t forget the OST that perfectly complete with the movie. The ending is also well done, and I wasn’t expecting it. I’ll not tell you anything more.

So, Just relax, watch “Wish You” and I really hope you will enjoy the movie the same way I did.

I would love to see that movies turned into a series. But I can dream of it though.

Not worth watching.

While I'm really happy there's more LGBTQ+ representation, this drama was.... not very good. The pacing was inconsistent, sometimes super slow, other times super fast. There were so many awkward moments, especially in the beginning. The acting was okay, but to be honest, the side characters' acting were better than the two main guys. I felt like I barely knew the main two characters at all, much less their relationship; one moment they were strangers, and then after a few cheesy montages they were in love?? The cinematography was quite pretty but isn't enough to make up for everything else. The ending was so sudden too and didn't make any sense to me.

TLDR: I don't recommend watching this...
