Netflix Unveils Dark Trailer for “Genie, Make A Wish” Ahead of Oct. 3 Premiere

New footage reframes the rom-com premise as a perilous human–devil bargain built on three wishes.

Overview

  • The poster and teaser highlight a menacing tone with the line “Three wishes and a deadly bet,” culminating in Genie’s threat to kill his master after her third wish.
  • Kim Woo-bin plays a thousand-year-old spirit who awakens to serve Suzy’s emotionally guarded Ka-young, who initially resists making any wishes.
  • Teaser dialogue identifies the wish-granter as a devil figure referred to as Iblis or Satan, introduced alongside his panther-like companion played by Go Kyu-pil.
  • The ensemble features Ahn Eun-jin, Noh Sang-hyun as Genie’s brother and rival, and Lee Zoo-young, expanding the drama’s supernatural and relational stakes.
  • Scripts are by Kim Eun-sook with directing by Ahn Gil-ho and Lee Byung-heon, and the 12-episode series debuts globally on Netflix on October 3, 2025.
