Netflix has unveiled the teaser trailer for the much-awaited reunion of Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy in the upcoming K-drama “Genie, Make a Wish.” The fantasy romance series is set to premiere worldwide on October 3, offering viewers a blend of magic, destiny, and playful mischief.
The drama follows a genie (Kim Woo-bin) who awakens after a thousand years only to find himself bound to a new master, the a cold and psychopathic Ka-young (Bae Suzy). With three wishes and a deadly wager hanging over them, the two engage in a battle of survival, temptation, and unexpected attraction.
In the teaser, the genie ominously declares: “He’s not your run-of-the-mill genie, but a truly evil one — to use a name you may recognize, it’s Satan.’” The chilling line hints at the sinister undertones beneath the romantic comedy façade.
The teaser poster mirrors this tension, portraying the genie threatening Ga-young while she defiantly holds a hairpin to his throat. The trailer further highlights their fiery chemistry, with scenes of the genie pursuing her wishes and Ga-young rejecting them at every turn. Fleeting glimpses of Ga-young laughing and crying add layers to her character, teasing a dangerous yet captivating romance at the heart of the story.
Reunion of Kim Woo-bin and Suzy
“Genie, Make a Wish” marks the first on-screen reunion of Kim Woo-bin and Suzy since their hit 2016 melodrama “Uncontrollably Fond,” which remains a fan favorite for its tragic love story. Their return as romantic leads after nearly a decade has heightened anticipation for the series, with fans eager to see a new dynamic between the two stars.
From the writer of ‘The Glory’
Adding to the excitement, the drama is penned by Kim Eun-sook, the acclaimed screenwriter behind smash hits such as “The Glory,” “Goblin,” “Mr. Sunshine,” and “Descendants of the Sun.” Known for her ability to blend sweeping romance with compelling conflict, Kim Eun-sook’s involvement suggests that viewers can expect both grand spectacle and emotional depth.
A star-studded pairing
Kim Woo-bin, who recently impressed audiences in “Black Knight,” takes on the role of a genie unlike any we’ve seen before — dangerous, mischievous, and far from benevolent. Suzy, fresh off her acclaimed performance in “Doona,” steps into the role of Ga-young, a layered character whose icy exterior conceals hidden vulnerabilities. Their pairing promises a chemistry that is equal parts explosive and irresistible.
Supporting them are Ahn Eun-jin (“My Dearest,” “Hospital Playlist” ) as the mysterious Mi-joo, Noh Sang-hyun (“Pachinko”) as Soo-hyun, the genie’s brother and rival, Ko Kyu-phil as Sayyid, the genie’s assistant who’s secretly a black jaguar, and Lee joo-young as Min-ji, Ka-young’s only friend.
