Netflix has released an epic trailer for the upcoming fantasy romantic comedy series Genie, Make a Wish, starring Kim Woo-bin and Suzy. The trailer offers a glimpse into the mystical and mischievous world of the series, set to premiere on October 3, 2025.
The trailer begins with a dramatic introduction of Kim Woo-bin's character, Genie, a spirit awakened after a thousand-year slumber. His first words, "나는 램프의 정령 지니이고 세 가지 소원을 들어주지" ("I am the genie of the lamp, and I grant three wishes"), set the stage for the fantastical narrative. The visuals are rich with supernatural elements, including swirling sands and ethereal lighting, hinting at the magical transformations and challenges that lie ahead.
Suzy's character, Ka-young, is introduced as a seemingly cold and impassive individual whose life is upended by Genie's appearance. The trailer showcases their dynamic interactions, blending humor and tension as Genie navigates the modern world with a mischievous twist. A pivotal moment in the trailer reveals Genie's true identity as Iblis, better known as Satan, who is determined to prove the corruptibility of humans. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to their relationship, promising a narrative that is both unpredictable and engaging.
The trailer also highlights the series' romantic elements, with scenes of whirlwind romance and unexpected twists. The tagline, "5판 3승, 인간의 타락이 그렇게 당연한 거면 증명해보라고" ("Five matches, three wins, if human corruption is so inevitable, prove it"), underscores the central conflict and the high stakes involved in their interactions.
