Story Highlights
The story follows a Genie (Kim Woo Bin) and a woman, Ki Ga Young (Bae Suzy).
Ga Young lives by routines. She feels nothing—emotionally shut and lives as a cold-hearted woman, living a monotonous life under her grandmother’s strict rules.
One day, she awakens a genie (Kim Woo Bin), who has slept for a thousand years, and becomes his master. Genie grants her three wishes. Following that day, they embarked on a journey filled with conflict, heartfelt moments, and comedic battles of wills, blurring the lines between master and servant.
Surprisingly, he is not just a genie—he is Iblis (Satan) in disguise, aiming to test human nature. As genie tries to adapt to modern life, chaos, laughter, and romance erupt.
Their clash—between cold control and wild emotion—drives the story. Secrets, rivalries, and moral decisions heighten the stakes.
With its blend of fantasy and romance, “Genie, Make a Wish” offers something for every viewer to enjoy. As they navigate their three wishes, they must confront their own destinies and, in the process, unexpectedly save each other.
