Genie, Make a Wish OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Kim Woo Bin & Bae Suzy's romantic comedy K-drama
Genie, Make a Wish OTT Release Date: If you've ever wished for a K-drama filled with romance, magic, comedy, and a beloved on-screen couple, your wish is about to come true. Starring Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy, Genie, Make a Wish is all set to premiere on Netflix on October 3, 2025, according to What's on Netflix. This series marks the much-awaited reunion of the Uncontrollably Fond stars.
A fantasy love story with a twist
At the heart of Genie, Make a Wish is a whimsical and emotional story. Kim Woo Bin plays Genie, a magical being who lives inside a lamp. But unlike the usual genie we all know, this one is a rollercoaster of emotions, going from dramatic to humorous in seconds. One day, a woman named Ga Young (played by Bae Suzy) accidentally releases him.
Young is emotionally distant and reserved. She's the complete opposite of Genie. What happens when a man full of feelings meets a woman who's almost numb to them? Ga Young is granted three wishes, but in the process, she and Genie begin to heal each other's emotional wounds, forming a connection neither of them expected.
Reuniting Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy After 9 Years
Fans of K-dramas still remember the emotional impact of Uncontrollably Fond from 2016. The chemistry between Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy made that show unforgettable, and their reunion has created a huge buzz among viewers. With both stars having grown in their careers and fan base, their return together in a romantic comedy is something to look forward to.
Kim Woo Bin was last seen on Netflix in Black Knight and Our Blues, whereas Bae Suzy made waves with Start-Up, Vagabond, and her solo lead role in Doona! This time, instead of a heavy melodrama, we'll see them in a lighter, more magical setting.
The team behind the scenes
Genie, Make a Wish is penned by none other than Kim Eun Sook, the celebrated writer behind The Glory, Goblin, and The King: Eternal Monarch. Lee Byung Hun has directed it under the production of Studio Dragon and Hwa&Dam Pictures. The lead pair is supported by Ahn Eun Jin as Mi Ju, Steve Noh as Su Hyeon, Go Gyu Pil as Sayyid and Lee Joo Young as Min Ji, among others.

BTS' V and BLACKPINK's Jennie rekindle dating rumors again post his military discharge
BTS member V's discharge from the military on June 10 after completing 18 months of training has put him in the spotlight. But now he's generating buzz for a different reason– his recent Instagram activity since resuming civilian life. It has once again set off speculation about a potential romance with K-pop star Jennie, drawing considerable interest and attention due to the high-profile status of both celebrities. Fans spot alleged evidence of BTS' V dating BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim Taehyung aka V is currently a hot topic on social media for his Instagram updates on social media post the completion of his mandatory national service. On June 11, he posted a series of photos featuring his military colleagues, his gym deets with actor Song Kang, a celebratory cake for his discharge and his solo shots in military uniforms. Four things about the post caught fans' attention the most. They are a follows– The BTS member's cake included the message "I'm happy to be with you." Fans reacted to the romantic tone of the phrase, saying, "I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OF HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS SAYING "I'm happy to be with you THIS CAKE IS DEFINITELY GIVEN TO HIM BY JENNIE." Another picture featured a shot of V's back, focusing on his backpack. However, the blue teddy bear keychain was what stole the limelight as fans spotted a black version of the same keychain on BLACKPINK's Jennie's bag before. The third and fourth alleged evidence was the song used by V on his post and its caption. The song is called Love Me JeJe and the caption reads "Love me tete." According to fans, JeJe and tete referred to Jennie and Taehyung as usage of such cute pet names is a common phenomenon among young couples of Korea. Previously, Jennie's latest post made a day before V's military discharge added fuel to the dying down fiery dating rumors of the duo. The second slide of the post includes several letters scattered in a table, and shippers' eyes were fixated on the letter T. The usage of her song Seoul City created additional buzz as many believed it to be dedicated to V.
