The title of the drama “Thy Will Be Done” seems to symbolize the ambition of its writer. Released on Netflix on the 3rd, the drama “Thy Will Be Done” is like a condensed version of writer Kim Eun-sook’s worldview and values, as well as her ambition to achieve anything within the drama.
Kim Eun-sook, always revered as a “star writer,” has seen her reputation rise to the point where anything seems possible, now evolving into the form of a Netflix original series. The fantasy genre involves summoning a “genie” and discussing reincarnation, along with a grandiose setting freely using locations in Dubai, UAE. The series features a star-studded cast including Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, and even utilizes lines subtly targeting the opposing platform, Disney.
Given that Kim Eun-sook’s previous work was the critically acclaimed revenge drama “The Glory,” there was much anticipation surrounding her new piece. However, in the world she created where it seemed everything would come to fruition, only her “sharp” lines remained. Many of these lines scattered in all directions like sandstorms stirred up by the genie, failing to resonate with viewers. This imbalance is where the public’s mixed opinions originate.
