Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!
Sarangees! We’re BACK with Episode 5 of Genie, Make a Wish — and this show just keeps getting wilder! Ka Young makes her second wish of wanting her Halmoni her age! Cue chaos as Grandma transforms into a young hottie named Miju and immediately starts living her best life.
Meanwhile, Genie’s out here connecting with his next “victims” Sangtae and Bokyung, and we finally learn more about that mysterious little boy and his super sketchy dad — who, plot twist, went to college with Ka Young?! Plus, Genie and Angel are back at it again with their ridiculous sibling squabbles.
Ka Young starts having flashbacks to her past lives, Miju and Minji form an unlikely bond, and Angel tempts Ka Young with secrets about her history with Genie. We also deep dive into our leading lady Suzy.
