In the series, the mysterious spirit Genie (Kim Woo-bin) awakens from a thousand-year slumber to grant three life-changing wishes to Ga-yeong (Bae Suzy), an emotionless young woman who suddenly finds herself the new owner of a magical lamp. As Genie tries to adjust to the modern world with his devilish ways, he and the emotionally guarded Ga-yeong find themselves drawn into an unexpected and electrifying romance.

Fans are buzzing about the reunion of Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy, two beloved icons of K-romcom royalty. Kim Woo-bin brings his signature charm to the role of the mischievous, "satanic" Genie, while Bae Suzy shines as the peculiar yet beautiful Ga-yeong. The series also features a standout supporting cast - Ahn Eun-jin ("Hospital Playlist", "Goodbye Earth"), Steve Sanghyun Noh ("Love in the Big City", "Pachinko"), Ko Kyu-pil ("The Roundup: No Way Out"), and Lee Zoo-young ("The 8 Show", "Shades of the Heart") - who add extra sparkle to this whimsical world.

The newly released Date Announcement poster highlights the duo's undeniable chemistry. Against a shimmering desert backdrop, Ga-yeong stands steady with a lamp in hand as Genie appears in a swirl of golden sand, making a mysterious promise to find her no matter what. The revelation that Genie is, in fact, Iblis - better known as Satan - adds a playful twist to the classic wish-granting tale, while Ga-yeong's calm reaction hints at a romance full of surprises.

With its blend of fantasy, humor, and heartfelt moments, "Genie, Make a Wish" is set to charm viewers worldwide when it streams exclusively on Netflix this October 3.
