K-Drama fans are in for a lighthearted romance with a magical twist in Genie, Make A Wish!
In this delightful romantic comedy, a magical genie returns to the human world after being on hiatus for a thousand years. Genie, who has spent centuries in a lamp, crosses paths with Ka-young, an emotionless woman who lives her life following her grandmother’s strict rules and her own predictable routines. Together, they embark on a journey through three wishes, creating an entertaining and feel-good story filled with magical moments and unexpected connections.
Written by Kim Eun-sook, the mastermind behind The Glory, Genie, Make a Wish reunites popular actors Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, who previously starred in Uncontrollably Fond. Kim Woo-bin takes on the role of Genie, who is awakened from his slumber and thrust into the modern world after a millennia-long pause, while Suzy plays Ka-young, a cold, detached woman who becomes Genie’s new master. As Ka-young begins to interact with the genie, her life slowly begins to transform, unlocking an emotional journey she never expected.
The cast is further rounded out by Ahn Eun Jin (The Good Bad Mother) as the enigmatic Mi-joo, Noh Sang Hyun (Pachinko) as Soohyun, a dashing but suspiciously wealthy building owner who stands in opposition to Genie, and Ko Kyu-phil (The Fiery Priest) as Sayyid, Genie’s loyal right-hand man, who takes the form of a black jaguar. Lee Zoo-young (Believer) also stars as Ka-young’s only close friend, Min-ji, who adds a touch of grounded reality to the whimsical tale.
Genie, Make a Wish is a charming mix of magic, romance, and humor, bringing together the captivating chemistry of the leads and the irresistible premise of wishes and transformation.
With Kim Eun-sook’s signature storytelling style, this series promises to be an enchanting adventure for fans of romance and fantasy alike. The series launches in the 4th quarter of 2025.
