Netflix series "Genie, Make A Wish" continues to generate hot buzz even in its second week after release.
The Netflix series "Genie, Make A Wish," released on the 3rd (Fri), is showing unusual popularity. According to the Netflix Tudum TOP 10 website on the 15th (Wed), "Genie, Make A Wish" recorded 8,000,000 views (the number of viewing hours divided by the program's total running time) from the 6th to the 12th, ranking first in the global TOP 10 series (non-English) category and proving its buzz. In addition, it appeared on the top 10 lists in 50 countries worldwide and ranked first in 10 countries including Hong Kong, Peru, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. Moreover, according to Good Data Corporation, it has maintained overall first place in TV-OTT combined drama buzz with a high share from the first to the second week of October, and swept the top spots in the TV-OTT combined drama buzz performers category for two consecutive weeks with first place (Suzy) and second place (Kim Woo-bin).
The storytelling of writer Kim Eun-sook, known as the master of romantic comedies, worked again this time. The romance between Genie (played by Kim Woo-bin) and Ga-young (played by Suzy) moved viewers' hearts, drawing a line of feelings that became tender and poignant beyond excitement and comedy, and the message about humanity connected to the three wishes left a deep aftertaste at the end of the work.
Actors who portrayed original characters also received praise. Kim Woo-bin demonstrated wide-ranging acting ability, receiving praise that he perfectly digested Kim Eun-sook's distinctive, flavorful lines along with an unprecedented transformation. Suzy also delivered a convincing, passionate performance in the challenging role of "a romance of a person lacking emotion," emerging as an actor perfect in both visuals and acting. Especially in their reunion after nine years, Kim Woo-bin and Suzy enchanted viewers with exceptional chemistry. Attention also focused on the two actors' more mature chemistry.
Unreleased stills released that day recall the legendary great scenes created by Kim Woo-bin and Suzy. The long narrative of "Genie, Make A Wish," which travels between past and present lives, was possible because of the solid performances by the actors who firmly held the center of the play. The actors who built a unique world together also drew attention with a warm atmosphere in behind-the-scenes stills.
Not only Kim Woo-bin and Suzy, but Ahn Eun-jin, who brought an interesting variation to the story in the role of Mi-ju, Noh Sang-hyun, who charmingly portrayed the angel of death character, Go Gyu-pil, who left a strong presence playing Shinsoo Said, Lee Joo-young, who showed a different acting transformation, and Woo Hyun-jin, who distinctively portrayed a nonhuman character, also drew "hot" attention.
