I desideri del genio

The first 3 minutes of ep 1 was the almost accurate description of Iblis/satan according to Islam. For the people, don't take it seriously this is just a fantasy show there's no justification for satan. Of all the show that describe satan this is the closest to the accurate description of him except the lamp part..also that angels were the first creation of god and genie were made after them and lived in this world long before humans did and were exterminated because they grew arrogant and deviated from the path... Iblis(didn't bow down to human) was granted the wish to corrupt gods creation (human) until the world ends.... I loved the creativity of the writer who made this story on the concept of Satan...the actors played their part magnificently and the story was not dragged with a compact 13 episodes.... Give it a try you'll love it.

Just finished this drama and want to ad my final thoughts. As fiction goes it was interesting and not too bad. The acting was really good for the most part. Unfortunately, they took a little bit from every religion that is out there, threw it in a pot, gave it quite a stir with a pen came up with somewhat of a mess of a script, this would easily upset many people.(I did not read the book if there was one). Although it kept you thinking, it did unravel disappointingly somewhat in the last episode. Asia is famous for fantasy dramas and this sort of was an attempt at that.

Although, for the most part it did have some entertaining moments the writers definitely had a hard time keeping it together.

INITIAL REVIEW I wondered the direction of this drama, initially I was somewhat confused, but by episode 6 things seemed to move as if it was showing some moral conviction and consequences. I just began episode 7 and will come back for a final review. If a show has intriguing story line and good acting and is not sexually perverted I like to try to see it through to the end before I make a final judgement so I will come back when I finish.

Genie, Make a Wish opens with a tantalizing fantasy premise and breathtaking visuals, but the first few episodes tread slowly, struggling to hook the viewer. Once the narrative finds its footing, though, the series blooms into an emotionally resonant, visually sumptuous romance powered by strong performances and undeniable on-screen chemistry.

Kim Woo-bin delivers a layered portrayal of a genie (or Iblis) caught between cynicism and longing, while Bae Suzy's Ka-young-quiet, emotionally closed-off-provides a perfect foil. Their dynamic evolves gradually from friction to gentle affinity, and when the sparks fly, they're lovely to watch. All supporting characters feel well cast and well used; none overstay their welcome, and each contributes meaningfully to the emotional tapestry.

The direction and cinematography are often gorgeous: mystical lighting, inventive CGI, thoughtful framing. The fantasy elements are handled with enough care to avoid feeling gimmicky, and the emotional arcs in the latter half reward your patience. However, pacing issues early on, occasional exposition-heavy sequences, and some predictable tropes keep it from being flawless.

Overall, Genie, Make a Wish is a rewarding slow burn. If you stick with it, the payoff feels earned-and the magic lingers.

I know this drama is getting criticisms for going against Islam or a certain religion, but let's just focus solely on the drama's story and the acting of the characters.

1st, the director or writer clearly said it's a Fantasy or Fictional genre drama. So you can't really compare with Islamic history or facts. Just some concepts were taken from Islam but still of course many things were shown as fictional for the flow of the story. If you keep on thinking about the real or logical thing then don't watch it. Just judge the story being a neutral observer. Then you'll see how much work the whole team had done. Kudos to the VFX team, the editings were so cool. Too much twist, mystery, and other things that you can't predict what will happen when.

Now the characters. All of them acted really well. But I loved Kim wo Bin. His acting was top class. Specially his expressive eyes uff👌👌 even his crying scenes are so realistic. Suzy was great too but still Kim was just the Star! The ending was sweet, something we the fans of Uncontrollably Fond craved.

Overall this drama was just like any other fantasy K dramas with little bit more extraordinary things, as it showed something more and brave, out of the typical stories.

Seeing some very weird comments from a particular group! The irony lies with you highlighting things that were not even remotely relevant to the plot. And just because you're taught to abide by certain standards it doesn't mean all of you live by them. We have seen and read the things you are all claiming to be not true. Get of your high horses and accept reality. Not everyone or a particular religion are perfect.

Who are you defending against when it comes to this drama? It didn't do anything to diminish your beliefs. Was any high power's name mentioned? Are you fighting for the devil in this story? What exactly are you appalled by?

So I am trying to figure out what I missed! Almost every review is based off some kind of misconstrued notion of deluded anger! If your religion is so important to you why are you even watching these sort of programs?!

Genie,Make a Wish- Solid enough Kdrama. Timelines were not confusing,you are just not smart enough to follow simple algorithm. Main characters had great chemistry. Take it for what it is just fantasy with great cinematography. It's entertaining enough to keep you invested in what develops and comes next. I would recommend it if you're not a religious fanatic.
