According to Netflix’s Tudum Global Top 10 chart released on Wednesday, the series recorded more than 4 million views within three days of its October 3rd premiere. The drama ranked No. 5 on Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English Series and currently holds the No. 1 spot in Korea. It has also broken into the Top 10 in 46 countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Egypt, and Morocco.
Viewers have quickly fallen under the show’s spell. Online reactions have ranged from tears to raves: “Started it thinking it was just a rom-com, ended up sobbing,” “Kim Woo Bin’s acting is on another level—total rediscovery,” and “The dialogue is pure gold—only Kim Eun Sook could write lines like these.”
Others called Genie, Make a Wish “a drama that only reveals its true brilliance by the final episode, and praised its deeply emotional reincarnation narrative: “This lifetime-to-past-life storyline hits right in the heart.”
The following are reactions from other netizens who watched the series:
“Review of Genie, Make a Wish.
A classic God Eun Sook’s romance comedy.
At first, I was like “Huh?”, but it got more enjoyable as it went on.
The love between Ga Young and Iblis was just insane (beyond words).
The music was a bit off, but still bearable.
Kim Woo Bin and Suzy’s visuals were stunning, and their acting was even more amazing.
The relationships between Ga Young and her grandmother, and Ga Young and Min Ji were so heartwarming.”

“Is that Choi Young Do from the 2025 version of The Heirs in Genie, Make a Wish? Is that really you? After 12 years, you’re back in a school uniform! And why are you holding something like that? It makes me want to protect you. Even the dialogue is pure Choi Young Do. I saw it and screamed because I was so happy! Seeing a character from another one of writer Kim Eun Sook’s dramas appear like this is the best kind of happiness…”

“OMG, Genie, Make a Wish is a hilariously funny drama. The female lead beats up the male lead so much that when he has a sentimental, heart-fluttering flashback about her… all he can remember are images of her beating him with a tool and trying to kill him. I have never seen such a violent couple in a heterosexual rom-com before. This is a first for me.”

“OMG I’m freakin’ dying. Look at how Netflix is dealing with Marvel and Disney copyrights. Please stop, it’s too funny.
‘That side is Mar* and you’re from Dis*, so your target audiences are completely different. I can’t say anything more than this. That’s how scary copyright is. If you really want to hear more, you’ll have to go to Dis* yourself and get permission.’
<다 이루어질지니> 아 ㅆㅂ 넷플릭스가 마블이랑 디즈니플러스 저작권에 대처하는 것 좀 봐 제발 그만 웃겨
“이쪽은 마*이고 넌 디**쪽이라 관람 연령층부터 달라
이 이상은 언급 불가야
저작권이라는 게 그렇게 무서운 거야

The newly released “past-life” posters capture that emotion perfectly, featuring Kim Woo Bin’s Genie and Suzy’s Ga Young as star-crossed souls bound across centuries. Though haunted by their past, the two ultimately choose to fight for a future they can change, a theme visually echoed in the poster’s wistful, time-spanning imagery.
Blending laughter, longing, and fantasy, Genie, Make a Wish has become a must-watch around the world—and is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
