But sparked major criticism when shared on TikTok from international fans.
@netflixkr “Remember this. I will seek you out, and my name is Iblis.” Fantasy rom-com series <Genie, Make a Wish> is coming October 3, only on Netflix. #다이루어질지니 #GenieMakeAWish #Kdrama #drakor #KimWoobin #Suzy
Yet, the show has come under fire due to the plot showing that the Genie is, in fact, Iblis. In Islam, Iblis is a figure comparable to Satan, and netizens believe that by having Kim Woo Bin’s character represent this, it is romanticizing the leader of the devils.
Another K-Drama has also been hit with insensitivity allegations.
