Netflix Fantasy Drama Genie, Make a Wish with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy Release Tons of New Stills Switching Gears From Weird and Goofy to Showcasing Interesting Characters
This is the first promo from upcoming Netflix fantasy K-drama Genie, Make a Wish that didn’t make me want to laugh at it. The drama released a ton of new drama and character stills this week all of which form together to actually tease a full story complete with other characters beyond the killer genie and his lamp rubbing actress owner. The new stills show, in addition to leads Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, a first look at second leads Ahn Eun Jin and Noh Sang Hyun as well as supporting characters played by Ko Kyu Pil and Lee Joo Young. It actually looks potentially entertaining now and with how well Kim Eun Seok writes not just second leads but also crackling interactions and scenes I’m looking forward to seeing the full picture come together beyond the one main conceit.
Many familiar faces in the cast. They are good actors. Genie is perhaps the one show I’m excited about the most with very high expectation. With a slew of highly anticipated K dramas failing to satisfy me one by one this year, I make a wish to Genie to treat me well. LOL.
My expectation was held high starting from underwhelming Dear Hongrang, then disappointing Good Boy which was poorly written and how wasteful for a talented cast, and followed by Disney+ Tempest. I’m currently watching Tempest which started promising and intriguing, but the intensity is getting diluted with slower pace. I’m still watching Tempest mainly for Jun Ji-hyun’s acting and her incredible chemistry with hot LOL Gang Dong-won. Both JJH and GDW are excellent actors; they are the epicenter of Tempest sucking up all my attention. I just don’t care about the rest of the drama that much, and the plot is completely leftard BS TO BE HONEST. LOL.
Given that KES’s scripts rarely disappointed me, I bet on Genie to bring some magic to a tad boring Kdramaland this year. Hope it premieres soon.
I’m so happy, I can’t wait. KIM WOO BIN IS BACK BABY!!!!
