Genie Make a Wish - Dreams That Come with a Price

Storyline

Genie, Make a Wish blends whimsy and depth: Iblis, the genie, awakens from a millennium, intent on proving humanity's flaws through granting wishes; Ka-young, emotionally detached, becomes his test case. Their journey spans emotional awakening, moral challenge and the collision of desire with power. Through laughter, conflict and romance, they explore whether a heart closed off to feeling can be open to love, and whether a supernatural being bound by duty can truly feel freedom.
