If you’re one of the millions who binged Netflix’s latest K-drama sensation Genie, Make a Wish over the weekend, you’re probably left wondering: what happens next for Iblis and Ka-young? The fantasy romance, which dropped all 13 episodes on October 3, 2025, has already sparked heated discussions on social media about its devilish twists and heartfelt moments.

What Is Genie, Make a Wish About? A Quick Recap
Genie, Make a Wish (original Korean title: Da Iuneojiljini) is a whimsical fantasy romantic comedy written by acclaimed screenwriter Kim Eun-sook (Goblin, The Glory) and directed by Ahn Joon-young. The story centers on Kang Ka-young (Bae Suzy), a young woman who’s lived her life suppressing emotions after a tragic family loss. Everything changes when she stumbles upon an ancient lamp and awakens Iblis (Kim Woo-bin), a mischievous genie who’s actually… well, let’s just say he’s got a devilish secret.
Over 13 binge-worthy episodes, Ka-young gets three life-altering wishes, leading to hilarious clashes, budding romance, and supernatural showdowns involving mythical creatures and family drama.
