Genie, Make A Wish Episode 4 Recap: Ka Young Makes a Heartbreaking Second Wish!

The chaotic dance between the emotionless genius Ka Young and the increasingly flustered genie Iblis intensifies in Genie, Make A Wish Episode 4. This recap and review dives into the key moments, exploring how the episode masterfully blends fantasy, comedy, and unexpected emotional depth.

We’ll break down the character development, the rules of this magical world, and what these events could mean for the future of our unlikely couple.

In Genie, Make A Wish Episode 4, Ka Young could not forget the kiss. She went back to the tower and used her hacking skills to search for the camera. She found the video, saved it, and smiled. Iblis started avoiding her. But Ka Young wanted to kiss him again. He kept running away.

He was planting onions when she showed up again. Iblis hid inside a coffin to avoid her. She kept searching for him. He told her they would never do that again. But then he made a rule — they would only kiss if it was raining and there was alcohol.

Iblis’s Regret and Ka Young’s Trick

Gu Byeon, Ka Young’s classmate and a banker, felt jealous after seeing Ka Young’s huge bank balance from stock trading. Later, Ka Young and Min Ji went to the bank for an investment talk. Gu Byeon served them tea, but felt small compared to her.

Nearby, a new family moved in. Their kid had a shiny thing hanging from his neck. The village chief’s daughter became friends with that kid. It looked normal, but the sparkling thing seemed important.

Iblis talked to the Genie AI. He found out Ka Young was searching online for rainmaking rituals and alcohol brands. Iblis realized she was serious about the next kiss. He regretted making that silly rule.

Iblis started avoiding her more. One day, he met Min Ji at a dental clinic. She was happy to see him but shocked when she learned he had no ID or money.

Ka Young decided to prank him. She made the police believe he was driving after drinking. The police caught him. Iblis panicked and stopped time. Sayyid appeared and helped him escape.

When Magic Meets Mayhem

Iblis went to a cherry blossom festival. A thief stole his hairpin — the one Ka Young gave him. The hairpin acts as a notification that he is invisible when he wears it. He chased the thief and got caught between two rival gangs. Both attacked him. But their weapons passed through his body.

In a blink, Iblis turned everything into flowers. The gang members stood frozen as petals floated in the air. He created fireworks in the sky that spelled Ka Young’s name. He wanted to corrupt her as fast as possible.

Meanwhile, Ka Young sat inside her garage. Su-hyeon, also known as Ejilael, came to meet her. He said he was an angel. Ka Young did not believe him. She doubted his story about running a free lunch donation for elders, as many of them had died after receiving help.

Ejilael said he brought peace to those souls. Then he revealed that he was spying on her. He got orders that if he ever bowed to a human, he must kill Iblis. Ka Young did not like this. She told him to leave.

Later, Iblis explained everything to her. He said Ejilael and he fought a great war long ago. Angels were made from light, and Genies from smokeless fire. The Genies became arrogant, so God ordered the angels to destroy them. Ejilael led the angels.

Iblis said many of his brothers died. Some now control sleep, others tend to the flowers of souls, and a few manage the rain. When Ka Young heard the word “rain,” she became curious. She wanted to meet the Genie again. But Iblis quickly changed the topic and ran off.

Wishes, Regrets, and a Rain That Stopped

Im Seon, who had wished to become a branch manager, started acting arrogantly. Her old coworkers grew angry. They accused her of taking bribes. Frustrated, she asked Iblis to make her a branch manager twenty years ago. He agreed.

That wish took Iblis back in time. There, he met the younger Ka Young. The young girl hit him with a rock. Later, the present-day Ka Young remembered this and realized she had seen Iblis before.

Iblis returned to the present. Suddenly, it began to rain. Ka Young rushed to brush her teeth and buy alcohol. She waited for Iblis. But he hid. The rain stopped. Her face turned red with anger.

She finally spotted Iblis on the street. Before she could yell at him, a dog appeared. It was one of the five souls Iblis had to grant wishes for.

Iblis repeated his line — he could grant the dog three wishes. In return, all the neighborhood dogs must stop barking at Ka Young. Otherwise, he would turn them into cats. Sayyid translated the deal.

Ka Young’s Painful Second Wish

The dog made his first wish. He wanted to become a handsome middle-aged man who looked like Daniel Henney. The dog transformed instantly. The women in the neighborhood stared in shock. The aunties could not stop looking at him.

Later, Ka Young discovered that her grandmother had read her notes about the five souls. She panicked. She asked Iblis to hide the notebook and the feather pen inside the lamp. He took her there.

Inside the lamp, Ka Young confessed she felt like a stone with no emotions. She said Iblis could kill her, so her grandmother would not have to suffer. Iblis stayed silent. Together, they began arranging furniture inside the lamp. It looked like a small home.

Then, it started raining again. Both rushed out to buy drinks. But soon, Ka Young’s grandmother began crying. The old man who once taught Ka Young crafts had died. Ka Young looked at her grandmother in silence.

She turned to Iblis and made her second wish. Ka Young asked him to make her grandmother young again. She wanted her to live longer, the same age as her.

 Episode 4 Review: The Price of a Wish

Episode 4 of Genie, Make A Wish, brilliantly explores its central theme: every desire has a consequence.

• Character Arc Spotlight: We see Ka Young’s stone-cold exterior begin to crack, not because of greed, but out of love for her grandmother. Her second wish is fundamentally selfless, marking a significant evolution from the woman who only sought power.

• Iblis’s Curse: The genie who wanted to corrupt a human is the one being corrupted by human emotions—regret, fear, and perhaps the beginnings of affection. His time-stopping panic attack during the police prank was a raw, human moment for a divine being.

• The Rain Motif: The rain becomes a powerful symbol of anticipation and missed connections. It’s a ticking clock for their promised kiss, making its start-and-stop pattern a source of both comedy and genuine frustration for the audience, mirroring Ka Young’s feelings.

• Final Verdict: This episode successfully balanced its tonal shifts, from the hilarity of the dog-wish to the profound sadness of the grandmother’s tears. It deepened the mythology while ensuring the heart of the story remains the complex, push-and-pull relationship between its two leads.

The story of Genie, Make A Wish Episode 4, showed how every wish carried a price. Ka Young’s greed for control met Iblis’s curse of emotions. Their connection deepened, but rain, love, and fate played against them.
