Netflix K-Drama 'Genie, Make a Wish' Tops South Korean Charts Featuring Kim WooBin Suzy

The Netflix series 'Genie, Make a Wish,' starring Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, premiered on October 3, 2025, quickly gaining attention for its unique blend of fantasy and romantic comedy. The story centers on Genie (Kim Woo-bin), a lamp spirit with a cynical view of humanity, and Ga-young (Suzy), a woman unable to feel emotions, exploring themes of desire, love, and human nature through three wishes. Written by acclaimed screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, the series subverts familiar tropes by portraying the genie as a corrupting figure and the heroine as emotionally detached. Despite its popularity, the show has faced criticism over the acting performances and certain scenes, sparking mixed reactions from viewers. Prominent actress Song Hye Kyo publicly supported the series and its cast, highlighting her friendship with Suzy and making a cameo appearance. The reunion of Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, who last worked together nearly a decade ago, has been noted as a significant draw for fans.
