“Genie, Make a Wish” Previews A Whimsical K-Romcom That Casts a Spell of Charm and Chaos

Just in time for Korea’s beloved Chuseok holiday, Genie, Make a Wish is set to sprinkle stardust across screens worldwide when it premieres on October 3 exclusively on Netflix.

This vibrant new K-drama blends fantasy, romance, and comedy into a refreshing escape from reality — starring none other than Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy, two icons of Korean drama royalty.

In the series, Genie (Kim Woo-bin), a supernatural being who awakens after a thousand-year slumber, only to find himself in the modern world — and in the hands of Ka-young (Bae Suzy), a stoic, emotionally distant woman who’s just inherited a magical lamp. Genie offers her three life-altering wishes, but what unfolds is far more than a transactional exchange. As Genie tries to navigate contemporary life with devilish flair, he and Ka-young are pulled into a romance that’s as unpredictable as it is electrifying.

The twist? Genie isn’t just any wish-granter — he’s Iblis, better known in mythology as Satan. But instead of terror, he brings charm, chaos, and a surprising vulnerability that makes this tale feel both timeless and entirely new.

Fans are buzzing about the reunion of Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, whose on-screen chemistry is already turning heads. Woo-bin brings a mischievous edge to Genie, balancing devilish antics with heartfelt depth. Suzy, meanwhile, delivers a nuanced performance as Ka-young — a woman whose icy exterior slowly melts in the face of magic, mystery, and unexpected affection.

The teaser poster sets the tone: Ka-young stands poised in a glowing desert, lamp in hand, as Genie swirls into view in a cascade of golden sand. His cryptic vow to find her “no matter what” hints at a deeper connection — one that transcends time, logic, and even morality.

Genie, Make a Wish isn’t just another fantasy romcom, it’s a genre-bending experience that reimagines the classic genie trope with a devilish twist.  So mark your calendar, grab your popcorn, and prepare to be enchanted. The magic begins October 3 — and with Genie on the loose, anything can happen.
