Genie, Make a Wish

Most Islam accurate Iblis

The first 3 minutes of ep 1 was the almost accurate description of Iblis/satan. Of all the show that describe satan this is the closest to the accurate description of him except the lamp part..also that angels were the first creation of god and genie were made after them and lived in this world long before humans did and were exterminated because they grew arrogant and deviated from the path... Iblis(didn't bow down to human) was granted the wish to corrupt gods creation (human) until the world ends....I loved the creativity of the writer who made this story on the concept of Satan...the actors played their part magnificently and the story was not dragged with a compact 13 episodes.... Give it a try you'll love it

MAGICAL ENDING FOR OUR UF PARENTS!!!

I honestly don’t get why people hate this drama so much. The story is great and the chemistry is just perfect! They’ve acted together twice already — there’s no way their chemistry could be “meh,” let alone bad.

If you’re still wondering whether to watch it or not — you should! They actually get a happy ending, especially for us UF fans. Our “parents” finally got the beautiful and magical ending they deserve. I was so emotional in almost every scene — laughing, crying, getting butterflies, tearing up… it just kept happening again and again.

And come on, this is a FANTASY ROMANTIC COMEDY! What are you expecting here, a thriller? Please. Before judging something as “bad,” maybe take a look at yourself first.

The chemistry between Jin and Jiniya makes me wish for a part 3 so badly.
Thank you, Woobin and Suzy, for making my 9-year-old wish come true.
See you again in another story~~~ 💫💖

The Arabic-Korean Blend in Genie, Make A Wish? Absolutely Beautiful!”

When I first saw Genie, Make A Wish, the cover alone had me like— “Okay, I need to see what this blend is about!” 😭 And honestly? I was so right.

The effort in this drama is CRAZY. You can literally feel how much work the actors and actresses put in — especially the way they mix in Arabic language and culture. Like, do you know how hard Arabic is to learn?? The blend is just so beautiful to watch.

The acting, the storyline, the visuals — everything connects so well. It’s that type of straight romance that makes you smile for no reason. I’m giving this a pure 9/10 (and that’s rare for me).

I think this might just be my best 2025 straight romance so far. We haven’t had many this year, but this one? THIS ONE, I love it so much 😭💗 I don’t even have the words to explain — just go watch it, because ahh, it’s worth it!!

Não vejo nenhum motivo para tantas notas baixas

Só consigo imaginar que as notas baixas tem algum motivo pessoal muito além da história! Uma comédia romântica engraçada, divertida, uma história original e um casal lindo cheio de química.

Apesar de ser descrita como psicopata, a personagem da Suzy é mais para alguém com bloqueio emocional, você vê os sentimentos nela, mas ela não consegue expor e nem mesmo entender na maioria das vezes, a não ser a raiva que ela carrega. Mas é isso que torna a trama engraçada!

Já o Woo Bin está mais charmoso do que nunca, um demônio que por amor se rende a Deus. uma história sobre família, amizade e sobre os nossos desejos e suas consequências.

Na verdade, tem tanta coisa que poderia ser dito sobre esse assunto, sobre egoísmo, sobre ética, sobre responsabilidade, sobre inveja que daria para escrever um livro.

Vejam!

Watch cleanly and w/o reservations and THEN comment~

Leads killed it in the 1st half but it was a bit slow in the middle and dragged at the end. Still funny!! Suzy's persona was Wednesday Addams plus SYJ's Ko MunYeong in It's Ok To Not Be Ok and I loved it and it's pathetic that this drama is going to remembered for one thing that wasn't there at all.

IDK why Muslims are turning this into a religious thing but so be it. 90% of the world has a problem w/ the child raping incestual pedophiling women beating death to all infidels marry 6 yr olds jihad inbred screaming join us or face genocide views that Islam teaches. Netflix, SK, and Suzy will all take massive hits to reputation for no reason but it wasn't smart to do anything with any ties to Arabs in general with the atrocities currently being committed. We watch dramas to escape the real world, not be reminded of it and some scenes hit HARD.
But this is a FICTIONAL piece for entertainment purposes ONLY. FICTIONAL ppl. Muslims are turning this into a religious thing for no reason. The Islamists crying and review bombing a FICTIONAL drama is HIGHLY ironic considering what they're doing IRL. Parodies of ALL religions have been used in FICTIONAL dramas and movies for ages and they wouldn't have said anything if it was something other than theirs. But that's Islam. Hypocrisy and intolerance at its finest.
I was highly entertained and had no thoughts over religion until I saw the reviews destroying this over it. I also know not all are as bad as the criminal ones engaging in the acts of violence I listed that the media talks about daily as they're caught engaging in their 'religious' practice. So watch the drama for the drama, not the religious slander many are making this out to be. Slander is what I said up top. But is it slander if it's all true?

A Mirror to Your Own Heart

Genie Make a Wish doesn't just tell a story—it excavates your own.

This drama becomes a vessel for every dream you've ever tucked away, every regret that still whispers in quiet moments, every version of yourself you've been and might still become.

You'll find yourself wandering through your own past as much as the characters navigate theirs. The happiness hits differently because it reminds you of joy you've tasted. The sadness cuts deeper because it touches sorrows you've carried. The anger rises because it mirrors frustrations you've swallowed. And the love—oh, the love—it doesn't just show you romance, it reminds you what it means to be vulnerable, to hope, to believe in magic when the world feels too heavy for wonder.

This isn't passive entertainment. It's an experience that asks something of you: to feel fully, to remember honestly, to stay present even when it hurts. The journey demands strength—not the kind that hardens you, but the kind that keeps your heart soft enough to break and brave enough to mend.

If you make it to the end (and I hope you do), you'll emerge changed. The sky really will look brighter, not because the world has shifted, but because you have. You'll carry these characters with you like old friends, their choices echoing in your own.

We need more dramas like this—stories that don't just entertain but transform, that trust audiences to meet them in the depths. Let's hope this isn't the last of its kind. Let's hope it's the beginning of many more.

THIS HEALED MY "UNCONTROLLABLY FOND" HEART

Okay, let's get one thing straight: I never hit the fast-forward button once. I’m happy to report that I binged Genie, Make a Wish, all 13 episodes, from start to finish without skipping a single moment.

To address the issue right off the bat: I am aware that there was some understandable controversy surrounding this drama, specifically regarding misinterpretations of character related to a particular religion. However, I watched this purely as a viewer looking for a good, enjoyable fantasy-romance ride. The show definitely nailed every aspect of a good drama.

The biggest win here, no contest, was the absolutely electric pairing of Bae Suzy and Kim Woo Bin. Their chemistry was just on fire. For those of us still scarred from Uncontrollably Fond, this was the reunion we needed, and thankfully, this time we got that sort of happy ending we'd all wanted. Their dynamic as Genie (Iblis) and Ga-young was mesmerizing. Even when Genie's character was meant to be wary of her, or when Ga-young showed zero emotion, the longing and connection were right there in their eyes. You could see the spark; it was a silent conversation of destiny.

The romance itself was perfectly paced. It wasn't one of those slow burns that drag on forever, and it wasn't a whirlwind romance that makes you shout, "Wait, when did they fall in love?" The evolution of their bond, from their initial chaotic clash to genuine, protective affection, felt earned and truly satisfying.

But the leads weren't the only heart of this story. Can we talk about Mi Ji and her Grandma? Honestly, they deserve all the love. They were the anchors for Ga-young, believing in her and loving her unconditionally when it felt like everyone else feared or misunderstood her. Their unwavering support provided the crucial warmth that made Ga-young's strange journey so compelling and human. And then also for Sade and his little canary, so cute.

I really enjoyed the potential for a bromance between Iblis and his brother, but it just wasn't 'giving' enough. That storyline felt thin, as if it needed another few episodes to develop fully and hit the emotional depth it should have.

Either way, this was a 10/10 for me.

For me it is 9 out of 10

Hey friends, here I am with my review. I just want to tell everyone to give this drama a try. This drama is very good, it has a different storyline, this drama will get better with each episode. I don't know why everyone has spread so much negativity in the comment section.. Yes, I agree that maybe everyone might not like it because everyone's tastes are different, but it is not right to mislead others like this.. In the end, I would like to share my experience that this drama is really very good to watch once, so please do not pay attention to the comments, please try it once, you will not be disappointed.

Have been waiting for this. Like a wish came true.

They promised us comedy, and they did not disappoint. Loved every episode. Just like my kind of humour. I laughed, smiled and got surprised - that most comedy series can't make me do.
I have watched series relating to Lucifer, Angels, and Spiritual creatures. Those were all biblical representations. And I have always wondered what it would be like if they did the same, but from an Islamic perspective. Guess I know now.
They not only used some of the actual stories and facts from Islam, but also added a bit of a story of their own. Iblis, the Leader of Jinns, was expelled from heaven because he defied Allah. They should have added the backstory of Azazil for a bit more character development.
Azrael's purpose was perfectly interpreted, and I like that they didn't make him the actual villain. They didn't include Jibrael, which is fine. Also, the essence of the story of Bilkis and Khalid is similar but not entirely.

I also liked that they paired Iblis with a psychopath because obviously, normal humans would not impress Iblis, and only a deranged mind can fall for Iblis. Like minds fall for each other. The key was that neither characters saw the other as what they actually were. For instance, Iblis was a jinn but was not taken seriously by KaYoung, and on the other hand, Iblis was likely convinced KaYoung was already corrupt and nothing like a human. She also kept the outfit she wore in hell very carefully, like an art piece or an achievement, you can say. She thinks heaven is boring and hell is fun. Totally made for each other's characters.

And for the people who were concerned that this drama is a false representation of Islam, relax you guys, they just borrowed the names and stories of Islam. I'm guessing you guys watch series that represent Lucifer, Satan, Angels and other biblical representations. The Bible is one of the main holy books of Islam too. When those series twist the essence of the characters, you guys stay silent. And it's just a drama. Hope you won't take it seriously. And please don't come at me 🥺🥺. No hard feelings.
