Fans of K-fantasy rom-coms are getting exactly what they’ve wished for, as Kim Woo-bin and Suzy reunite in Genie, Make a Wish, now available to stream on Netflix. The new series, written by Kim Eun-sook (The Glory), brings the two beloved stars back together for the first time in nearly a decade, in a story blending ancient magic with modern romance. 

Here’s everything to know about Genie, Make a Wish.

What is Genie, Make a Wish about?

Cold, impassive Ka-young (Suzy) has spent her life under her grandmother’s care, whose watchful eye and tough-love approach have helped keep Ka-young’s psychopathic tendencies in check. When Ka-young unexpectedly stumbles upon a magical lamp, she awakens the mysterious spirit Genie (Kim Woo-bin) from his thousand-year slumber — and yes, he promises the young woman three life-changing wishes. Unleashed into a new millennium, Genie’s mischievous magic shakes up Ka-young’s quiet life, and as he navigates the unfamiliar realities of the modern world, the two find themselves in a surprising whirlwind romance. 

But just when things couldn’t get any less predictable, Ka-young learns her wish-granting sidekick is actually Iblis, better known as Satan, who is hell-bent on proving that humans are corruptible. It’s a whole new twist on the genie-in-a-lamp story, and when Ka-young’s intractability and tightly controlled routines meet Genie’s trickster energy and clueless charm, it sets the stage for a romance that will be anything but ordinary.
