Another day, another topic that has taken the internet by storm. The upcoming K-drama Genie, Make A Wish, starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, is once again at the centre of heated debates after Netflix unveiled the character posters. The reactions are mixed. For more information about it, read on.
In one poster, Kim Woo Bin’s character, aka “The Satan of the Lamp”, is shown and in the second poster, we get to see Suzy as “The Psychopathic Master” with a genie’s lamp and a drill. Reactions to the posters aren’t really positive.
Many fans felt the designs looked cheap and assumed that artificial intelligence was used to create them. Fans were especially pissed with Kim Woo Bin’s post, as they felt the actor appeared unflattering. Some people even called it outdated and poorly done.
The fans also expressed disappointment over the production quality, as they expected more polished visuals from a Netflix-backed project.

Well, this isn’t the first time the drama has faced backlash. Earlier, the choice of Kim Woo Bin’s character name, Iblis, gave rise to a controversy. In Islamic tradition, Iblis is a figure linked to Satan, and many viewers found this name inappropriate for a romantic comedy.
Some online discussions, especially on platforms like TikTok, labelled the name as disrespectful and offensive. Certain fans even called for action and stated that the show’s creators were mocking a sensitive religious figure.
