Teasers feature a desert setting where Ga-young activates the lamp, unleashing a golden storm that summons Genie. His cryptic warning-"I'll search the world for you. Remember, my name is Iblis"-hints at darker elements, while the phrase "Come to corruption" stirs intrigue about their bond. The production balances fantasy and romance, reimagining classic tales for modern viewers. Premiere Date and Worldwide Availability Set for a global debut on October 3 via a prominent online service, the timing aligns with Korea's Chuseok holiday, when viewership often surges.

Genie, Make a Wish: Kim Woo Bin and Suzy's reunion project confirms release date, here's everything you need to know
Named Iblis, meaning Satan, the upcoming Netflix show, Genie, Make a Wish, has unveiled its eerily webtoon-like setting in a new look. The Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy starrer is one of the most-awaited releases of the year, due to the almost decade-long wait for the lead stars to reunite on screen. Last seen in Uncontrollably Fond in 2016, the two famed actors have returned as a genie and an emotionless woman character. Genie, Make a Wish will premiere on October 3, 2025, on Netflix. Genie, Make a Wish casts the line, will it make big? The date announcement teaser brings together a deeper peek into the life of Ka Young, a young woman who finds herself in the middle of a deserted area. With a golden lamp in her hand, she is introduced to a daunting figure of a Genie, who teeters incomprehensibly close. He mutters, 'I will scour the world and find you again. Remember this. I will seek you out, and my name is Iblis.' Targeting the Chuseok holiday in October, the show's Korean name promises a genie who will make all wishes come true. Much like its name, the show promises to realize Ka Young's (Suzy) three wishes. After helping him wake up from a thousand-year slumber, the devilishly handsome and charming Iblis-named Genie circles around the seemingly indomitable young girl. Unaware of what fate awaits her, she now works in tandem with a genie. He reels her in and welcomes her to the dark side, 'Come now, to corruption!', the message plasters itself onto their new look for the show. With 12 episodes, Genie, Make a Wish, brings a unique romance comedy storyline to the fans of the couple. Hoping for a happy ending this time, a lot of expectations have already been placed on the project.
