The magic that happens when a psychopath meets a genie :-)
Let's clear the negative first there is a lot of hate seen everywhere for the series but if can just watch this series as pure fantasy entertainment and can ignore the religious spark, you'd definitely love this series.
~~Here is my short review~~
The series starts a bit slow but soon becomes a colorful and fun fantasy love story. It is about Iblis, a moody genie played by Kim Woo-bin, who gets freedom after many years, and Ka-young, a quiet woman who doesn’t show much emotion, played by Suzy. Their connection slowly grows as they learn about love, kindness, and what it means to care for someone.
The best part of this show is the amazing chemistry between Kim Woo-bin and Suzy. They fit their roles so well, and when they are together, the story feels warm and real. The show also looks very beautiful - from the shiny Dubai scenes to the magical lights and special effects, everything feels like a dream. The side actors also did a great job, bringing laughter and emotion to the story, the child artists were great as well, and a very special cameo of Jinniya [Genie's ex-girlfriend] .
At first, the story moves slowly, but after a few episodes, it becomes very interesting. It mixes love and comedy nicely, and there are many fun and touching moments. It also has some light jokes and surprise cameos that make it enjoyable for drama fans.
It also shows a nice slice of life hidden inside all the fantasy. Reminds us that every person has two sides i,e. one that loves, hopes, and dreams, and another that can be selfish or lost. The story quietly teaches how greed can destroy happiness, while kindness and understanding can heal even the darkest hearts. It’s not just about magic and wishes, but about being human and learning to choose good over greed.
In the end, Genie, Make a Wish is full of heart, beauty, and imagination. The acting was great, and the story stays with you like a soft, sweet dream. Definetly the best K-drama of 2025 for me.
*****Special Mention for Suzy******
She was outstanding py playing the quiet and cold character that doesnt show much emotion, which makes her seem strange but interesting. Even with a calm face and soft voice, she makes you feel something. Her acting is simple but strong, and it fits the story perfectly
