Netflix finally released the release date and teaser for its much-awaited fantasy love series Genie, Make a Wish, featuring Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy. Premiering on October 3, 2025, in time for the Chuseok celebration, the series is the long-awaited comeback of the two leads after almost ten years since their 2016 show Uncontrollably Fond.
A Mysterious Encounter with Iblis
The just-released teaser brings audiences to Ka Young (Suzy), an apathetic young lady who finds herself in the middle of a desolate desert. Grasping a golden lamp in her hand, she comes face to face with a cryptic and intimidating Genie (Kim Woo Bin), who ominously declares, “I will search the world and find you again. Remember this.”. I will find you, and my name is Iblis.” The translation of the name Iblis, meaning “Satan,” foreshadows the darker aspects of the tale.

A Twisted Tale of Wishes and Temptation
The Korean title guarantees a genie who can make all your wishes come true, and Ka Young’s experience stirs the long-dormant Iblis. Portrayed as devilishly good-looking and perilously charming, this Genie seduces Ka Young with three wishes — but at what price? While she starts working with the Genie, he draws her into a dark world, proclaiming, “Come now, to corruption!” The teaser takes on a webtoon-like look, adding to the surreal and creepy vibe of the show.
A Different Approach to Romance and Fantasy
Billed for 12 episodes, Genie, Make a Wish is a show that mixes dark fantasy, romance, and comedy. The fans are all eagerly waiting for a more upbeat ending this time around, with expectations already heightened by the chemistry between Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy. With the countdown starting now until October, the show promises to bring a new twist on the classic genie myth.
