The fantasy romantic comedy "Genie, Make A Wish" captivated viewers with a range of charms from laughter and thrills to poignancy. In particular, the "thousand-year romance" connecting past and present gave emotional impact through familiar comforts, while revealing deeper emotional lines toward the later episodes that immersed viewers. Meanwhile, a special past-life poster depicting the fateful story of Jini (Kim Woo-bin) and Gayoung (Suzy) was released. Because past and present constantly look at each other, Jini and Gayoung also seem entangled in the past, but the two characters decided to move toward a future that can be changed, not a closed past. Their achingly tender story leaves a deep impression even in the poster.
Kim Woo-bin and Suzy are receiving praise for rewriting their "career roles" through "Genie, Make A Wish." Kim Woo-bin drew attention by presenting various aspects of a single character over the flow of time. He completed the character through a range of emotions, expressions and gestures, fully blending into the work and captivating viewers. Meanwhile, Suzy showed "polar opposite" charms within one work, and in the scene where Gayoung, who had no emotions, faces emotions for the first time after her final wish, she drew attention with explosive acting. The two actors' dense performances made viewers immerse themselves in Jini and Gayoung's story. <
