Kim Woo-bin met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 13th and interviewed Netflix's original series "Will Everything Be Done?" (played by Kim Eun-sook, directed by Lee Byung-hun and Ahn Gil-ho). Kim Woo-bin said, `I was so happy last year that I could introduce you to the work I've worked on for a long time, and I'm grateful that we worked together during the long holiday.' `I looked for reactions and listened to them through Netflix, but all works have likes and dislikes. In the case of our work, it contains so many stories and allows us to think about many things, so it seems natural that there are so many opinions. Regardless of the reaction, they watched our drama and they treated us sincerely, so I'm thankful for everything."
Coach Lee Byung-hun took the megaphone in the beginning and was replaced by coach Ahn Gil-ho. In response, Kim Woo-bin said "In fact, new things continue to happen on the set, so I didn't feel very uncomfortable just because the director was replaced, but I personally felt sorry." I personally have a relationship with director (Lee Byung-hun), and I had previously worked on a piece called 20, so I thought it would be nice to do it until the end this time, but director Ahn Gil-ho, who came behind us, led us well and led the atmosphere, so we finished it happily.
Kim Woo-bin then joked about the difference between the two directors, saying, `Isn't their faces different?'" and "Both are good directors." The staff are thinking a lot about us. I didn't think much about the difference, but I met good directors."
"'Will It All Come True' is a story about a stress-free, fantasy romantic comedy about the genie of a career-break lamp who wakes up in more than a thousand years and has three wishes after meeting an emotionless human Ga-young. According to the Netflix TODUM TOP 10 website on the 8th, "'Will It All Come True' ranked fifth in the global TOP 10 series (non-English) category with 4,000,000 viewers (the value obtained by dividing the viewing time by the total running time of the work) in just three days of its release. On top of that, it ranks No. 1 in the `Korea's TOP 10 Series" from immediately after its release to today, and has also been listed on the Top 10 list of 46 countries around the world, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Egypt, and Morocco.
