Actress SUZY has captivated audiences with her “strange yet beautiful” charm.
The Netflix series “Genie make a wish” (다 이루어질지니), released on October 3, is a lighthearted romantic fantasy that tells the story of JINNI (played by KIM WOO BIN), an unemployed genie awakened after a thousand years, and GAYEONG (played by SUZY), an emotionless human, who become bound together by three wishes.
Depicting the long-standing connection between JINNI and GAYEONG across their past and present lives, “Genie make a wish” (다 이루어질지니) immediately captured viewers’ hearts. The series blends warmth, humor, and emotion, charming audiences with the complex chemistry between its two leads.
In the drama, SUZY plays GAYEONG, a woman with antisocial personality disorder. Raised by her grandmother, she lived her life according to strict “rules” and “routines” instilled since childhood. Though often labeled a “psychopath,” she harbors a deeply human goodness within her. Even when faced with surreal situations, GAYEONG remains expressionless, unmoved by the genie’s tempting offers to grant her three wishes. Yet after meeting JINNI, she becomes strangely drawn to death, climbing a tower observation deck with a mysterious smile and saying, “Maybe this is my chance.”
SUZY, long regarded as a queen of romantic comedies, once again shines through her impeccable performance. Her electric chemistry with KIM WOO BIN, reuniting the pair after nine years, has brought constant smiles to viewers. Though she often lashes out at JINNI for his obsession with wishes and their encounters are filled with quarrels, GAYEONG ultimately falls for him after a kiss, and begins to look forward to the very “rules” and “routines” he sets, adding warmth to their bittersweet story.
Above all, SUZY demonstrates remarkable versatility through her interactions with each character. Seamlessly shifting between personas across lifetimes, she showcases the full spectrum of her acting range and dazzling charisma, all of which can be fully experienced in “Genie make a wish” (다 이루어질지니), now streaming on Netflix.
