Upcoming Netflix K-Drama Starring Suzy And Kim Woo Bin Shocks Netizens With Flabbergasting Trailer

Netflix’s upcoming series Genie, Make A Wish has left fans scratching their heads after the first trailer dropped. Starring Suzy and Kim Woo Bin, the teaser is already going viral online, but not exactly for the reasons the production team may have hoped.

The fantasy romance follows Ka Young (Suzy) a stoic young woman raised under the strict care of her grandmother, who has helped her keep darker tendencies under control. Her quiet life is shaken when she discovers a lamp that awakens Genie (Kim Woo Bin), a mischievous spirit who has been sealed away for a thousand years. Promising her three wishes, Genie’s unpredictable magic throws Ka Young into situations she never expected, while also stirring up an unlikely romance between them.

But things quickly take a darker turn. Ka Young discovers that Genie is not just a playful trickster but actually Iblis, the devil himself, who is determined to test whether humans can resist corruption. The unusual blend of romance, fantasy, and moral conflict puts a fresh spin on the familiar genie-in-a-lamp tale. The K-Drama is set to premiere worldwide on October 3.

Still, it wasn’t the premise alone that had netizens buzzing. The trailer, featuring flashy graphics and a campy, almost commercial-like tone, left many viewers both amused and confused.

Some questioned whether the over-the-top editing was intentional, while others compared it to advertisements rather than a high quality K-Drama teaser.

• “This isn’t the vibe I was expecting at all..? LMAO”
• “So… this was done on purpose…?”
• “Is this really the best they could do?”
• “Looks like a bburinklechicken commercial.”
• “It just looks like concept art. Doesn’t show anything from the actual content.”

On the other hand, the K-Drama has sparked massive outrage among international viewers. You can read more about it below.
