Make A Wish Quick Plot Recap 

Yu Chi Yan grew up with a broken family and spends his time alone in his grandfather’s bookstore. He doesn’t like to interact with other people often but has a soft spot for feeding and protecting stray cats. 

With his introverted personality, Chi Yan expresses his emotions through writing novels. He then encounters a magical white cat, Xiao Xiu, whom he rescued from the streets. 

Little did he know that the cat he rescued is from the Meow Planet, where cats can transform into human form. To go back to their world, Xiao Xiu must repay Chi Yan’s kindness and grant his wish. 

She helps Chi Yan find what he truly wishes. However, they found themselves falling in love with each other and forgetting their awful past.

Make A Wish Key Moments + Musings *Spoiler Alert

A Spotlight For Our Fur Babies

Treating us with long screen time of adorable fur babies, Make A Wish magically made us smile and heal. The series also became a platform to advocate and promote animal rights. 

It raises issues such as animal poisoning, illegal trade, and experimentation on animals. Furthermore, it reminds its audience and differentiates adopting from shopping. 

Spending his time alone inside the bookstore prevents Chi Yan from enjoying the world. Like Gia Ge’s perfect portrayal as a cat, it proves that our fur babies have the power to heal humans. 

Now that Xiao Xiu entered Chi Yan’s “territory,” she gave more laughter and color into Chi Yan’s life. May it be a person, animal, or a thing, Make A Wish highlights the importance of spending our time with a special someone. 

Unfolding Of An Adorable And Charismatic Love Stories

Make A Wish both tell the romantic stories of the lead and supporting characters. The two couple has similar yet different characteristics. 

Chi Yan is known for his cold appearance who has a warm spot for animals and his friends. Xiao Xiu, on the other hand, has a brighter and innocent personality.

With Zi Hao and Mingming’s case, Zi Hao’s bubbly character connects with the fierce and charismatic Mingming. 

Usually, most of the dramas don’t give much spotlight and story for the second lead couples. Nevertheless, Make A Wish grants the wishes of its audience and balances narrating their love stories. 

Overcoming Fears And Traumas

When Xiao Xiu’s sister died, she tried to conceal expressing her emotions and continue living as nothing happened. Lin Mo then appeared and tried to avenge his lover’s death. 

Unlike Xiao Xiu, Lin Mo openly expresses his sadness and anger. He proves his unceasing love for Xiao Xiu’s sister by making sacrifices for her.

On the other hand, Chi Yan also carries painful memories from his mother and high school classmates. Similarly, Zi Hao also has a traumatic experience with his family that turns into a phobia. 

They also demonstrated that it is okay to be vulnerable in front of our loved ones. With the right person, they can understand and love all the insecurities we hide.

Nevertheless, all the characters healed when they met someone unexpectedly. Chi Yan also proved that we can experience genuine happiness just by reading books.

The series also break the stereotypes that only our family by blood are the people we can rely on. Through friendship, hobbies, and animals, one can find comfort and feel secured. 

As a human and a cat fell in love, Chi Yan and Xiao Xiu broke its law and are still fated to be together. They give us hope to fight for what we love and continue what we love to do.
