‘Genie, Make A Wish’ is written by Kim Eun-sook, starring Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy. The story begins when Iblis (the Genie), who has been trapped for a thousand years, is awakened by Ka-young, a woman who has lived without empathy or deep emotion. (Ka-young is the reincarnation of someone from Iblis’s past, the one whose selfless wish bound him.) It stars Kim Woo-bin, Bae Suzy, Ahn Eun-jin, Ko Kyu-pil, Noh Sang-hyun, and Lee Joo-young in the main roles.

About ‘Genie, Make A Wish’ Netflix synopsis states, “After a thousand years, a quirky genie returns to grant wishes to a woman born without feelings. Can his magic bring love and wonder to her world?”
Ka-young reluctantly enters into a risky deal: she wants Iblis to prove humans are corrupt, while he seeks to gain his freedom by having her make three wishes. Along the way, their relationship is filled with puzzles, conflicts, emotional awakenings, and tragic turns.
The wishes she makes are the backbone of the series: each one pushes her, Iblis, and the world around them toward dramatic changes.
First wish - Ki Ka-young (played by Bae Suzy) asks Iblis to prove that humans are corrupt. This is more than a simple wish: it becomes a test of morality and character.
Second wish - Worried for her grandmother, Pan-geum, Ka-young wishes for Pan-geum to become young again (to be her age). This resurrects hope and complications in their lives.
Third wish (last wish) - This is the pivotal moment: she wishes to feel “regular” human emotions, even if just for a day.
That third wish of Ki Ka-young comes with a cost. By desiring to feel what others feel, grief, loss, love, Ka-young ends up confronting the depth of human suffering.
In the series finale, Iblis (played by Kim Woo-bin) faces a profound transformation. After centuries of being bound to grant wishes, he experiences genuine emotions through his bond with Ki Ka-young. When she makes her final wish to feel real human emotions, Iblis chooses love over his own freedom. This selfless act leads to his death at the hands of his divine brother, Ejllael. Later, Ka-young, overwhelmed by emotion and grief, wanders into the desert and dies.

However, the story doesn't end there. Iblis is later resurrected as a genie, and in a poignant twist, he reunites with Ka-young, who has also been reborn as a female genie. Together, they embark on an eternal journey, symbolising love that transcends time and existence.
‘Genie, Make A Wish’ has a happy ending. While both characters endure tragedy, Iblis is killed temporarily, and Ka‑young dies after making her final wish, they are later reborn as genies. In this immortal form, they reunite and stay together, granting wishes and navigating their eternal existence side by side.
