‘Genie, Make a Wish’ Casts a Spell, Becomes Netflix’s #1 International Series


The Korean fantasy romance Genie, Make a Wish has quickly become a worldwide streaming sensation, officially claiming the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s non-English TV chart for the week ending October 12. With over 8 million views, the series has climbed from its debut at No. 5 to dominate the global rankings just days after its release on October 3.

This 12-episode Netflix original is the latest masterpiece from Kim Eun-sook, the legendary screenwriter behind classics such as Goblin, Descendants of the Sun, and Heirs. Genie, Make a Wish brings together beloved stars Bae Suzy and Kim Woo-bin, whose on-screen chemistry has captivated millions.

The story follows Ga-young, played by Bae Suzy, a woman grappling with antisocial personality disorder whose life changes forever when she accidentally awakens a mysterious genie—played by Kim Woo-bin—trapped for a thousand years beneath the desert sands of Dubai. In exchange for his freedom, the genie grants her three wishes, setting in motion a journey filled with enchantment, emotional tension, and unexpected self-discovery.

Originally directed by Lee Byeong-heon, known for Extreme Job and Chicken Nugget, the project was later taken over by Ahn Gil-ho, acclaimed for The Glory. This directorial switch brought a darker emotional tone and stronger psychological depth to the narrative, enhancing the fantasy elements with raw vulnerability.

Audiences and critics alike have praised the show for its stunning cinematography, layered storytelling, and the dream pairing of Suzy and Woo-bin. The show’s emotional resonance and bold take on magical realism have especially struck a chord with younger audiences navigating issues of identity, trauma, and destiny.

The global success of Genie, Make a Wish reaffirms the overwhelming power and appeal of Korean content on international streaming platforms. Its rise to the top of Netflix charts once again highlights how K-dramas continue to push narrative boundaries and capture hearts worldwide.
