Actor Kim Woo-bin's romantic performance stood out.
The Netflix series 'All Will Be Fulfilled', which was simultaneously released worldwide on the 3rd, features a fantasy romantic comedy where the spirit of a lamp, Genie (played by Kim Woo-bin), who awakens after a thousand years, meets the emotionally detached human, Ga-young (played by Suzy), and they engage in a quest over three wishes. Since its release, it has firmly maintained the top spot in Netflix's 'Today's Top 10 in South Korea', generating buzz daily.
The global performance is also noteworthy. According to Netflix's official ranking aggregation 'Tudum TOP10' released on the 8th, 'All Will Be Fulfilled' recorded 4 million views (the number of viewing hours divided by the total runtime of the work) from the 29th of last month to the 5th of this month, achieving 5th place in the global TOP10 series (non-English) category just three days after its release.
It has also made it to the TOP10 lists in 46 countries worldwide, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Egypt, and Morocco, continuing its popularity.
At the center of 'All Will Be Fulfilled' is Kim Woo-bin. He captivatingly portrays the multifaceted character of Genie across a narrative spanning over a thousand years, engaging viewers.
He showcased his seasoned acting skills not only in the deadly romance with the emotionally detached Ga-young but also in his chemistry with the angel of death, Soo-hyun (played by Noh Sang-hyun), and his loyal subordinate, Seid (played by Ko Gyu-pil).
Kim Woo-bin's charismatic deep voice and overwhelming physical presence convincingly brought to life the enchanting essence of the non-human character, Genie.
Additionally, scenes parodying Han Ki-joo from 'Lovers in Paris', Moon Dong-eun from 'The Glory', and Choi Young-do from his previous work 'The Heirs', written by Kim Eun-sook, evoke nostalgia and have sparked reactions across various social media and online communities.
Viewers have responded with comments like, "Kim Woo-bin is great at comedy," "You can see he's in love just by his eyes," and "I want to see more of this heartfelt romance."
