Suzy and Kim Woo Bin have reunited on screen after nine long years, and fans are loving their mature, upgraded chemistry.
The two first worked together in the 2016 KBS2 drama Uncontrollably Fond, where they captured viewers’ hearts with their emotional performances as star-crossed lovers. Now, in their 30s, the beloved duo returns through Netflix’s Genie, Make a Wish — a fantasy romantic comedy that’s already taking over global charts.
In the series, Suzy plays Ga Young, an emotionless woman with psychopathic traits, while Kim Woo Bin stars as Genie, a lamp spirit who awakens after a thousand years. Their unlikely encounter begins when Ga Young summons Genie from the desert and is granted three wishes — setting off a mix of humor, mystery, and slow-burning romance.
Suzy takes on one of her boldest roles yet, showing a completely new side of herself. Known for her emotional depth, the actress delivers writer Kim Eun Sook’s signature witty and poetic lines in her own confident way.
Meanwhile, Kim Woo Bin shines as the cynical yet charming Genie, balancing seriousness and humor. His character transitions from a cold, skeptical spirit to someone who gradually develops a strange affection for Ga Young — with a few adorable, clumsy moments that make fans fall even harder for him.
But what fans are talking about most is the reunion itself. Seeing Suzy and Kim Woo Bin back together nearly a decade later, now as seasoned and mature actors, has created an undeniable buzz. Their upgraded visuals and refined chemistry have reminded many why they once made such a beloved pairing.
Since its release on October 3, Genie, Make a Wish has topped Netflix Korea’s Top 10 and ranked No. 5 worldwide according to FlixPatrol, landing in the Top 5 in about 20 countries. Love it or not, one thing’s clear — Suzy and Kim Woo Bin’s long-awaited reunion is one of the most talked-about K-drama moments of the year.
