Fantasy meets romance in Genie Make a Wish (다 이루어질지니), a 2025 South Korean K-drama written by hit drama writer Kim Eun-Sook and directed by Ahn Gil-Ho.
This series reimagines the classic genie-in-a-lamp trope with a darker, more mystical twist: a genie who awakens after a millennium and is bound by a divine contract to prove humanity’s flaws, and a woman who struggles with emotional detachment.
When their worlds collide, romance, conflict, and magic all come into play.
Starring Kim Woo-Bin and Bae Suzy, the show marks their on-screen reunion since Uncontrollably Fond (2016), and has already stirred buzz for its intriguing premise and emotional stakes.
