Genie, Make a Wish

Literally worth the time watch it y'all!!

Okay, so this is my first time writing a review for a drama, so it might seem messy, so ignore that, y'all, but I just couldn't help it after reading all these bad reviews about the drama. I feel like either most of them might have dropped the drama or just have different opinions, but alas! YALL I LOVE THIS DRAMA I'M NOT KIDDING BEST DRAMA OF 2025 FOR ME

So, the first 1 was quite okayish but not that interesting, ngl compared to later episodes, and y'all, I promise that the later episodes are so worth it. Basically, the first three episodes were the build-up for the later episodes. I don't know, as I'm writing a review for the first time, whether I'm supposed to spoil it or not, but I have to say the actors killed it

Kim Woobin and Suzy Litreally ate the drama up and the side character omg little star and THE KID YALL IM NOT KIDDING I HATE HIM (watch it to know why lol) The angel and that owl girl or whatever she was were quite cute in the starting but later omggg (still trying not to reveal much as i want yall to watch the drama)

AND THOSE COMMENTS SAYING KIM WOOBING AND SUZY DON'T HAVE CHEMISTRY PLSSS I literally squealed when they were kissing, they are SO cute I can't honestly and suzy character omgg so slay like especially in the last episode omg like for 12 episode she was pretty badass but dang! The last episode made me her fan, I can't, and the cameo was pretty cute as well

Episodes 12 and 13 had me crying hard. I'm NOT even kidding, it was so bad !! This was my first drama of both Suzy and Woobin, and y'all, I came without knowing anything much about the actors and the drama itself, but now I'm going back as a fan, omgg, they are so cute, they ate with the acting genuinely

But like the story itself was pretty interesting and mostly unique and ne,w and oh my god I love it

Lastly, just wanna make my heart so warm after seeing the ending(IT'S A HAPPPY ENDING LETS GO NO KTRAUAM)
SO if you are looking for something unique, funny, and interesting and emotional as well, Pls do give it a try, it is so worth the time (lol binged watch it in a day says a lot about it)

humor with fantasy elements, and an invitation to reflect on desires and the human condition

The international popularity of the South Korean drama "All Your Wishes Come True," or "Genie Make a Wish," released this October 2025, is growing because it highlights the blend of romance, fantasy, and humor with the charisma of Kim Woo-bin and Suzy.

The drama's visual aesthetic is simply stunning, and the reflection on human nature and the power of wishes is an additional invitation to watch the drama until the end.

The series has an engaging narrative, and the chemistry between the protagonists, full of moments of humor, emotion, and tension, is highly explosive!

The plot development was carefully crafted to deliver a drama with a fun and exciting dynamic.

The drama cleverly blends genres and successfully presents a combination of fantasy, romantic comedy, and elements of reflection on human nature.

The drama's visual aesthetic features ethereal and luminous photography that creates a fairytale atmosphere, with delicate visual effects and costumes that help tell the story.

I've already watched it twice in the same month and recommend the drama because it provides an engaging experience, delivering a powerful message and inviting reflection on themes such as temptation, corruption through power, and the capacity to love and feel.

The tone of this drama's humor is exceptionally high, refined, and cleverly aligned with witty one-liners that fit well with the story.

This drama has often been compared to Goblin, but in my opinion, the romance in the series wasn't the main focus.

In my opinion, this drama stands out from other supernatural fantasy dramas and romantic comedies because it prioritizes plot development by exploring the relationships of third parties to develop the characters.

I recommend the drama "Genius of Wishes" because it offers emotional delivery, a good dose of humor with fantasy elements, and an invitation to reflect on desires and the human condition.

ALMOST ALL REVIEWS HERE ARE DISINGENUOUS. This is a warning ⚠️ to judge for yourself

Even before a single episode of this drama was released, there was a whole smear campaign against this drama calling it " THE WORST DRAMA" because of something very simple like the name of the character. The drama is fictional but religious people in general always come to preach about being respectful after being one of the biggest perpetrators of systemic oppression and disrespect towards human rights.

This is also a lesson for the writer. For her next muse, she needs to cater to people who are pretty liberal with their ideas about what a writer can or cannot name a made up character. Greeks are well known for having a rational and scientific mindset about their mythology but she had to choose the worst option for drama setting.
I guess she didn't have an idea about the extent of damage religious fanatics can do. Nevermind, this will send a clear message to the korean writers and showmakers and this might be the first and last time this has happened.

So, if you actually wish to know how the drama is, DON'T JUDGE WITH MY REVIEW OR THE REVIEWS HERE because the picture here is either fabricated in a sly manner of straight up an act of religious intolerance towards writer's creativity and freedom of speech.

Go watch it and be the judge yourself!

Not the usual Romance K-Drama

I personally didn't have this much fun watching a drama for a long time. It's "kinda" a dark comedy and they really played their cards really well here.

I loved both character. Satan aka. Iblis was a mix of goofy & merciless. So weak to his "Master" but he could still ripping out the heart of a living being.

As for Ki Ga Yeong the "Psychopath", while it wasn't really at the character writing level of a "Dexter", they did delivered. Personally I didn't have much expectation. K-Drama & a romance tag with it ? I was sure it would be sugarcoated to the max to make believe she was a true psychopath. But no, they really did stick to her character until the end (again, I expected them to "magically" cure her).

Anyway, if I would nitpick, the editing wasn't exactly to my taste. Sometime scenes just jumped out of nowhere without real link between the previous or next scene. Probably made by choice, but I wasn't fan of it personally.

As for all people "sensitive" about religion and others stuff, don't forget it's made for entertainment and not a documentary that need to be faithful to his original source material. But I'm not really surprised as I watched this drama and see a bunch of reference to religion, I was 100% sure some will take it personally & get offended by it.

I give that a 9.5/10 because like I said, I had a real blast with it but the editing issue didn't make it perfect.

The Magic of Community

This is my first kdrama in a long while--I don't know why but the recent ones have been so mediocre and uninteresting that I've not started any and the few I have I dropped early.
This one however was a binge watch. I enjoyed all the episodes and I really liked the end.

The main couple in the drama, Wonbin and Suzy, are cult faves. I am not a huge fan of either--I've barely watched their dramas and I haven't watched any where they worked together. So, my review is not blinded by their stardom and is honest.

I enjoyed Kayoung's character, I totally understand why she was made a psychopath and I think that does put a refreshing spin to the usual fantasy romance. Iblis was hilarious and scary. Dr Choi was such a sweetheart and I hope she finds happiness and love in her life <3
The village was imperfect but sweet nonetheless. The Chang-Sik character, village chief, was refreshing. Loved Pan-Geum's final arc, a badass grandma till the end. I do wish I could smack a few people but that's acceptable.

I actually really liked the other stories woven into the amin storyline--how else would we see all the destruction wishes can bring AND all the ways Iblis twists words to bring forth that destruction.

Anything else? Oh yes, @netflix--great intro, horrible subs.

Here is your positive review - i loved it!

I am so glad i watched the drama before watching the reviews here!!!
I enjoyed every moment of this drama and it's a shame that it came to an end.

The best i could describe this drama is that it took a great parts of kdramas and inserted them in one.
The beginning reminded me of The King, fast paced, amazing bickering chimesty. Suzy (FL) personality reminds me of IU from Hotel del Luna, a character i longed for for a long time. A fantasy that reminds me of goblin yet less complicated/dramatic.

I really loved Suzy acting this time; her acting always seems lacking somehow and either a hit or miss, but this time i feel like she infused the role and the role became her.
Woo Bin character was so fun to watch, he had this very unserious funny role and i thought at the beginning that it would be hard to watch, but honestly he nailed it. And he never lost his charisma in the process, it's Woo Bin after all!

Regarding the story, it started very very quickly, never turned boring and never got too complicated. It was a delight watch.

If you are looking for something as heavy as goblin, or expecting some insane plot like mouse/signal, this drama is not for you. This drama was made to be easy to watch and to enjoy very lightly, and they ALL did amazing job doing that.

Highly recommended for quick laughs with beautiful emotions, and breathtaking visuals of the one and only Suzy.

MAGICAL ENDING FOR OUR UF PARENTS!!!

I honestly don’t get why people hate this drama so much. The story is great and the chemistry is just perfect! They’ve acted together twice already — there’s no way their chemistry could be “meh,” let alone bad.

If you’re still wondering whether to watch it or not — you should! They actually get a happy ending, especially for us UF fans. Our “parents” finally got the beautiful and magical ending they deserve. I was so emotional in almost every scene — laughing, crying, getting butterflies, tearing up… it just kept happening again and again.

And come on, this is a FANTASY ROMANTIC COMEDY! What are you expecting here, a thriller? Please. Before judging something as “bad,” maybe take a look at yourself first.

The chemistry between Jin and Jiniya makes me wish for a part 3 so badly.
Thank you, Woobin and Suzy, for making my 9-year-old wish come true.
See you again in another story~~~ 💫💖

I wasn’t planning to write a review, but…

[edited on October 9]

I wasn’t planning to write a review but the many bad and one stars reviews I saw for this drama, gave me the need to do so.

I really can’t understand why this drama got so many bad reviews. Alright that it wasn’t quite what I would hoped for when I saw the cast and the screenwriter lined up for this, but in the end, it was still an enjoyable watch.

The chemistry between Suzy and Woo Bin is undeniable, I saw some reviews criticizing it and I couldn’t phantom why. Some reviews also complained about the lack of character development, but I honestly found the drama quite realistic in that sense.

Suzy’s character is a psychopath, which means her brain is different from that of a normal person, you can’t expect a psychopath to suddenly develop emotions and starting to have feelings like a normal person would because they WON’T, that’s a disorder and it can’t be cured, simple as that. The reason some psychopaths become killers is because that gives them a rush of adrenaline which makes them feel something, on the same sense, some go into extreme sports just to feel the rush of adrenaline of something that could kill them, that’s how they work, no miracles here, they don’t suddenly catch feelings and become a “normal person”. All that to say that I really enjoyed Suzy’s character for that, she was moved by curiosity and rules, which makes total sense, the genie made her feel something because he was completely out of this world and evidently dangerous, which gave her that adrenaline rush time and time again, same reason why she was into high risk investments, because the rush of possibly losing it all gives you that little thrill. Besides, I would feel so damn annoyed if they pulled all that “love cures all” bs we see so often in dramas that address some sort of mental disorder, especially so because this one isn’t one that can be treated, and more than that, it would be infuriating to see her change because of a freaking genie instead of doing so for her grandma and best friend.

Now on to the genie, I also think his character just made sense, he is bad, he doesn’t like humans, his loyalty belongs to his brothers alone and that’s it. The only human he ever felt something for was FL because she was righteous and proved his beliefs about human nature to be wrong, and that curiosity — to see and understand something he had never encountered before, led him to slowly fall in love with her during her first life. He is a mystical creature, something above human reasoning, so his lack of emotion for humanity is understandable — especially so when said humans betrayed him in the moment of his despair when he made himself vulnerable for them for the first time, proving his own beliefs all over again — which takes us back to him caring only for her: because from all the humans he came across, she was the only one who ever proved him wrong and the only one who ever cared for him, all of which made his changes in the end completely understandable to me: his rules came from his experience with her and his brothers and what had hurt them, not because he cared for humans, but because he loved his family and wouldn’t risk the same mistakes again.

Honestly, to see so many people criticize these plot points, makes me wonder if we were really watching the same drama… I get this will be a personal experience and each person will feel differently because everyone was expecting different things, but overall, I really enjoyed the drama. The effects were great, the story was engaging and the cast was spectacular, were there some weak points to it? Sure, but overall it was a great watch. The only thing that let me down a bit was the ending, because it felt kind of rushed and undersatisfying (specially because I wanted to see that infuriating death angel suffer miserable and he didn’t), but then again… Netflix. I also didn’t quite like how things turned out in the end, like Iblis disappearing and suddenly coming back… I just hate that kind of plot, however, it was to be expected, since the writer pulled the same thing on Goblin. Eitherway, the bottom line is that I enjoyed and would totally recommend this drama despite the opposing opinions.

Most Islam accurate Iblis

The first 3 minutes of ep 1 was the almost accurate description of Iblis/satan. Of all the show that describe satan this is the closest to the accurate description of him except the lamp part..also that angels were the first creation of god and genie were made after them and lived in this world long before humans did and were exterminated because they grew arrogant and deviated from the path... Iblis(didn't bow down to human) was granted the wish to corrupt gods creation (human) until the world ends....I loved the creativity of the writer who made this story on the concept of Satan...the actors played their part magnificently and the story was not dragged with a compact 13 episodes.... Give it a try you'll love it

The Arabic-Korean Blend in Genie, Make A Wish? Absolutely Beautiful!”

When I first saw Genie, Make A Wish, the cover alone had me like— “Okay, I need to see what this blend is about!” 😭 And honestly? I was so right.

The effort in this drama is CRAZY. You can literally feel how much work the actors and actresses put in — especially the way they mix in Arabic language and culture. Like, do you know how hard Arabic is to learn?? The blend is just so beautiful to watch.

The acting, the storyline, the visuals — everything connects so well. It’s that type of straight romance that makes you smile for no reason. I’m giving this a pure 9/10 (and that’s rare for me).

I think this might just be my best 2025 straight romance so far. We haven’t had many this year, but this one? THIS ONE, I love it so much 😭💗 I don’t even have the words to explain — just go watch it, because ahh, it’s worth it!!

Best one I've ever had in this category!

First off all, the movie doesn't focus primarily on the main character's job or duty. That's the sub part, but main part is what happens between them.

The show got rid of all the unnecessary subplots. And showed little parts of what they could've added as a whole subplot and didn't, just to save time of your valuable life.

Suzy succeeded at showing a psychotpaths attitude which a lot of people misunderstood as emotionless. Those are literally psychopaths.

Plot was really good except it offended some religions. Most movies are easy to except what's gonna happen next and this one's plots are endless.

Really good show overall! Recommended!
