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.
