Kim Woo-bin recently revealed that it was the refreshing take on human nature and desire between good and evil that drew him to star in the new Netflix series, “Genie, Make a Wish”.
The actor, who spoke to the media at the press conference for the new series held in Seoul on 29 September, said that he found the script to be incredibly powerful.
“I was so drawn to it that I found myself cherishing every scene and felt a deep commitment to bringing this world to life,” he said.
The series stars Bae Suzy as Ga-young, who awakens a genie (Kim), who urges her to make her wishes quickly so that he can prove that all humans are corruptible.
Describing the character of the genie, Kim said, “He’s cheerful and strong, but can be cruel and frightening. Then there are moments where he seems pathetic or even cute. I tried to convey the sense that he is completely comfortable in his own skin even though others might find him unsettling.”
The series, written by Kim Eun-sook of “Descendants of the Sun” and “The Glory” fame, reunited him with Suzy, whom he worked with in “Uncontrollably Fond” back in 2016.
