Kim Woo Bin has once again proven his star power as his new Netflix drama Genie, Make a Wish takes over charts around the world.
The fantasy romantic comedy quickly captured attention after its global release on October 3, ranking #1 in Korea’s “Today’s Top 10 Series” and entering the Top 5 in about 20 countries, according to global OTT ranking site FlixPatrol. The show also placed 5th worldwide in Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV Shows.
In “Genie, Make a Wish,” Kim Woo Bin plays Genie, a lamp spirit who wakes up after being trapped for a thousand years and meets Ga Young (played by Suzy), a cold and emotionless human. The drama follows their complicated encounters as they deal with three wishes — and each other.
Kim Woo Bin perfectly balances the mysterious and playful sides of his character. From a cynical devil testing human emotions to a surprisingly romantic spirit who slowly falls for Ga Young, he delivers a performance full of charm and depth. Viewers praised his strong screen presence, expressive acting, and natural chemistry with Suzy.
Their reunion marks nine years since they last worked together, but this time, the pair show a more mature and intense kind of romance, far from their youthful image of the past.
Fans have described their on-screen tension as a “love-hate chemistry” that keeps them hooked from start to finish.
Sharing his love for the project, Kim Woo Bin said, “Every scene we filmed felt precious. The script had such powerful energy, and I really wanted to bring the writer’s world to life.”
With his powerful acting and undeniable charisma, Kim Woo Bin proves once again why he remains one of Korea’s most captivating actors — and why “Genie, Make a Wish” continues to rise as one of Netflix’s most popular dramas worldwide.
