'Love and Wish': Air date, how to watch, plot, all about GOT7 Youngjae-starrer K-drama
Fans have loved seeing Youngjae, the member of K-pop boy group GOT7, on multiple variety shows with his members or as a solo artist. Ahgases are aware also of the fact that it had been the singer's long-time dream to act and it seems like his exit from the label JYP Entertainment is helping it. After all seven members of the group decided against renewing their contracts with JYP back in 2020, GOT7's Youngjae landed his first acting role.
Back in June, Youngjae landed his first acting role in the Netflix Korean sitcom 'So Not Worth It' where he played a side role. Youngjae played the character of Sam, the son of the president of an Australian tteokbokki global food chain. Following that, Youngjae went back to what he does best and released his first solo album as ARS (his pseudonym) titled 'Color from ARS' which was a global success. Back in November, Youngjae was confirmed to play his first lead role in the upcoming Kakao TV drama, 'Love and Wish' which is based on the webtoon of the same name. 'Love & Wish' is scheduled to be released as a movie and a short drama through domestic and overseas OTT platforms in December.

She finds herself living next door to a handsome high schooler named Kim Seung-hyu played by GOT7’s Choi Young-jae (Youngjae).
The character of Seung-hyu is charming and attractive and Da-eun feels that perhaps he might be her first true love. She soon discovers that Kim Seung-hyu is her classmate and hopes that all that she dreamt about would eventually fall into place. With everything in place, she starts talking to Seung-hyu and soon finds out that he has been a victim of school bullying in the past that has left him emotionally vulnerable.
