Genie, Make a Wish”: The K-Drama That Blends Fantasy, Love, and Loneliness Perfectly

Every now and then, a K-drama surfaces that pairs the shimmer of fantasy with the sting of heartbreak. ‘Genie, Make a Wish’ does exactly that—a strange, shimmering blend of romance, morality, and mysticism. It’s about Iblis, a genie bound by celestial rules, and Ka-young, a woman so emotionally numb she seems almost sculpted out of stillness. When their worlds collide, the story toys with questions about what humans truly want—and whether getting it makes them better or worse. It’s intriguing, occasionally frustrating, and a little bit haunted. There’s a certain quiet sadness beneath its glossy surface, as if the show itself is aware that every wish carries a price.
