Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Happy Christmas Eve, Sarangees! We’re covering the final two episodes of Genie, Make A Wish, and we are not ready to say goodbye to Ka Young, Genie, and the Cheonpung crew. In Episode 12, everything comes to a head with the final battle between Ka Young, Genie, and the immortals. With help from the village leader and Cheonpung’s marine corps, Khalid is finally defeated, but the victory comes at a devastating cost. Halmoni, Sade, and Shadi are killed, Genie disappears, and the village is left in mourning. As Minji and the villagers grieve Halmoni, Ka Young struggles to process her emotions in the aftermath.

The final episode opens with Ka Young finding Genie in the deserts of Dubai. After a tearful reunion, she makes her final wish – to finally be able to feel. Genie dissipates and Ka-young forgets him entirely…until Irem returns her memories. Ka Young dies mourning Genie and Halmoni, but is magically reborn as a Jinniya, reunited with the people she loves—including Genie. The series closes with the two of them, happily ever after, waltzing through the desert as Minjii looks on.

We loved this series so much, and we’re so grateful you chased it with us. 💖
