# Satan Genie escapes the lamp after 983 years! meets a strange and beautiful new owner!
The story of Genie, Make A Wish begins when an unidentifiable lamp appears before Ga-young, a beautiful woman walking through the desert. The lamp Ga-young encounters as if by fate houses a genie who grants wishes; among many genies, it is the leader and a satanic genie. The satan genie possesses tremendous magical power that can grant anything except reviving the dead or time travel. How such a genie ended up trapped in the lamp for 983 years is an intriguing element. In addition, the premise that the wish-granting genie actually shows 'human corruption' through wishes brings fresh amusement. The
Moreover, unexpected events unfold when the genie takes in Ga-young, a psychopath who does not need wishes, as his new owner. Ga-young, the genie's new owner, lives by strict "rules" and "routines" and follows her own standards as an emotionless character. Because Ga-young believes "I'm the only bad person in the world," she challenges the genie's belief that "all humans are corrupt." With the three wishes of people at stake, the genie and Ga-young begin a life-or-death bet, and their spear-and-shield relationship develops into a subtle thrill no one could have predicted. The protagonists' distinctive relationship, something not seen before in romantic comedies, injects interest from the start. The story of the genie and Ga-young will offer excitement, laughter and poignancy, captivating viewers.
# Six core characters of Cheongpung village! Kim Woo-bin X Suzy X Ahn Eun-jin X Noh Sang-hyun X Go Kyu-pil X Lee Joo-young, dynamic character play promised
The satan genie follows Ga-young to Cheongpung Village in Korea. There, besides the genie and Ga-young, eccentric characters also exist. First is Miju (Ahn Eun-jin), a mysterious woman who comes to the village for a month of rural living. Despite her hip and flashy appearance, Miju has a somewhat retro charm; she becomes entangled with the genie and Ga-young as well as Min-ji (Lee Joo-young), creating unpredictable episodes.
Another key figure in Cheongpung Village is Su-hyun (Noh Sang-hyun), who grabs attention with his handsome appearance. Su-hyun, who is often talked about in the village for his steady participation in volunteer activities, actually owns several buildings in Cheongpung Village. Moreover, his hidden true identity is an angel of death. Su-hyun clashes with the genie at every turn, showing an enemy chemistry.
Meanwhile, Seid (Go Kyu-pil), who protects the genie, is also a member of Cheongpung Village. Seid is the guardian beast of the genie whose original form is a jaguar, but he currently lives disguised as a round, cute, bear-faced human and mixes with people. Unlike the genie, having already perfectly adapted to the modern era, he lives as Cheongpung Village's all-purpose worker "Seo I-deuk" and is deeply loved by the neighborhood elders.
If the genie has Seid, Ga-young has Min-ji. Min-ji is Ga-young's only friend, and the two show a "best-friend chemistry" like no other. Min-ji passes on small "tips" so that Ga-young, who helped her succeed as a dentist, can live smoothly in the world even without emotions. The odd and quirky friendship of the two will be portrayed in a cute and comic way and sometimes heartwarming. Above all, the fresh characters embodied by Kim Woo-bin, Suzy, Ahn Eun-jin, Noh Sang-hyun, Go Kyu-pil and Lee Joo-young and their dynamic performances spark high expectations.
