#CulturePH - “Genie, Make a Wish”: Netflix’s Devilish Twist on the Classic Genie Tale

There’s something irresistible about stories that flip familiar legends on their head, and Netflix’s upcoming series “Genie, Make a Wish” is set to do just that. Forget the friendly genie who grants wishes with a wink and a smile—this time, the magic spirit in the lamp is devilish, eccentric, and just a little bit naïve about the modern world.

A Genie Like No Other

Kim Woo-bin steps into the role of Genie, a spirit who’s spent a millennium on pause, only to return to a human world that’s changed in ways he can barely comprehend. But don’t expect the usual blue-skinned wish-granter. This Genie is a Satan—tempting and corrupting humans with three wishes, but with a quirky innocence that makes him oddly endearing.

Meet Ka-young: The Psychopath Master

Suzy brings to life Ka-young, the new owner of the lamp. She’s not your typical heroine. Raised by her grandmother and the village, Ka-young is beautiful, wealthy, and highly educated—but she’s also emotionless, a true psychopath who navigates life by her own strict routines. Her dynamic with Genie promises to be anything but ordinary, as two extraordinary personalities collide in a battle of wits and desires.

A Cast of Colorful Characters

Supporting the main duo are Ahn Eun-jin as the mysterious Mi-joo, Noh Steve Sang-hyun as Genie’s rival brother Soo-hyun, Ko Kyu-phil as Sayyid (Genie’s assistant who’s secretly a black jaguar), and Lee Zoo-young as Min-ji, Ka-young’s only friend. Each character adds a layer of intrigue and humor to the story, making “Genie, Make a Wish” a wild ride from start to finish.

Trailer Tease and What to Expect

The official trailer has dropped, giving us a glimpse of the darkly comedic, supernatural drama that awaits. With its October 3 launch, viewers can look forward to a series that blends fantasy, psychological twists, and a dash of romance—all wrapped up in Netflix’s signature style.

“Genie, Make a Wish” isn’t just another genie story—it’s a fresh, unpredictable take on what happens when magic meets madness. Ready to see what wishes can really do? Visit our blog to read more about this awesome news and get all the details before the premiere.
