Suzy has been receiving intense criticism for her acting in the new fantasy romance K-drama Genie, Make A Wish, and netizens aren’t holding back.
The series follows a lonely woman who accidentally awakens a mysterious genie after making a desperate wish, setting off an unexpected romance between the human world and the supernatural. Expectations were high due to the star-studded cast and unique premise — but many viewers say Suzy is the weak link.
Online reactions quickly turned negative after the first episodes aired. Netizens took to forums and social media to express disappointment, accusing her of relying on her looks rather than delivering believable emotions.
- I really thought she was acting the role of a robot not a psychopath.
- Until when is she going to coast on her visuals? She’s been acting for over ten years now.
- Feels like she can’t pull off the role.
- It’s different from Anna. This time, she’s being chewed out even on drama-focused communities.
- She doesn’t suit the role.
Others argued that Suzy’s popularity is what keeps landing her lead roles, not her acting skills. Some even said the drama would be stronger with a different actress in the lead. Fans attempted to defend her by pointing to the writing and direction, but the general consensus online remains overwhelmingly negative. With Genie, Make A Wish still in its early run, all eyes are now on whether public opinion will shift, or if the backlash will only grow louder.
