Did you know? The film's script was originally a stage play, and director Hwang Kyung-sung cast actors who had no prior on-screen chemistry to authentically capture the awkward, tentative dynamic of two strangers forced into a shared living space.
Why Watch: If you crave a tender, offbeat romance that feels more like a warm conversation than a plot, "Wishful Thinking" artfully captures the quiet desperation of creative souls searching for a home—both literal and emotional. The film’s gentle chemistry between a filmmaker and a poet transforms the mundane hunt for an apartment into a deeply moving meditation on connection and compromise. Watch it for its soulful honesty and the rare, poetic way it makes you believe that the right person can make any place feel like home.
A filmmaker named Woo-joo and a poet named Hee-chan discover that hunting for a place to call home is no simple task.
