GENIE, MAKE A WISH

My name is Hunbish.

What did you see last night?

Shadi brought me out of the ring.

Run away.

The entire world was fast asleep.

As he left, Shadi tugged a single thread from the rug in Father's room.

He told me

to run away.

What did you use my thread for?

You put the world to sleep without permission?

Tisah.

What did you find out yesterday?

A way to release those shackles?

Or someone to release them for you?

When Iblis woke up,

he would've known I'd been there.

So you found hope?

Hope that your brother will come and save you?

Has it really never occurred to you

that if I didn't want you putting the world to sleep,

I would have tied your tongue and not your feet?

I was also curious to know

if that bitch would be able to cut my thread in this life as well.

So I had been patiently waiting for you to have a little outing.

Thanks to you, I finally have my answer.

You're still set on this, Khalid?

Please stop.

Or my brother will kill you.

Why would I die?

If I can just make that lamp my own…

Once I become the master of that lamp,

I'll be the only being who can cut my threads,

which would mean I can become the leader of all spirits!

Who is Khalid?

You scared me!

Why are you still here?

Why am I still here?

You all just bolted out. How exactly was I supposed to get out?

Right.

Wait, isn't that heavy?

I asked you who Khalid is.

Khalid? I'm not sure. Who's that?

You would know, not me!

All of this happened because you locked me up in here!

Cut the crap.

I saw for myself,

and you'd have been locked up even if it weren't for me, Satan!

That deity of yours was just using me as a durability test for his creations.

You're right about that.

I'll let it slide since you agreed.

I saw the sand was flowing, so I touched it.

Then I suddenly saw it.

What did you see?

In what seemed like the distant past, there was a boy weaving a rug in the sun.

And I was there beside him.

I called his name.

Khalid.

Are you sure?

I'm sure. I was just as pretty as I am now.

For starters, get me out of here.

Hey!

You're getting it everywhere.

Grandma. Try shaking your arm.

Is it heavy?

This teeny thing? What is this?

Is this what's trendy now?

Oh Pan-geum, try breaking the thread.

You want me to break it? Like this?

It breaks.

It doesn't work between humans.

Tie me with it.

You should brace yourself.

I'm a spirit, so I have…

I have infinite magic…

There you go.

You apparently don't.

It doesn't work from spirits to humans either.

Now tie yourself up.

What?

Right, well,

you know,

you can never rule out chance, and I don't want to--

-Do it. -I'm doing it.

It's done. Now break it.

Please?

Grandma, try breaking the thread.

Goodness me. What is this, some kind of mutt training?

Gosh.

What the… It broke so easily before.

-Wait here. -Wait!

Let's see. Yes, these.

Okay.

Great.

What is this?

Wait right here.

-The straw cutter will be in the shed. -Are you sure you even tried?

It only works when a spirit ties another spirit.

-That's the thread's rule. -Okay, I get it.

Just break it already.

By the way,

that thread reeks of blood.

-What? -Blood?

So it was originally white.

It looks black because it's bloodstained.

Given the information we have and the fact that I can cut it,

this must be my blood.

That's shocking. Try breaking it already.

Let's take a detailed, thorough look at it.

About how you left me out to dry.

The grains of my ashes were very fine.

You must have taken extra care to air me out real good.

Grandma! Haven't you found the straw cutter yet?

-Hey. -We should grab the big cutter!

Hey, Master!

Wait, just get this…

Quit stuffing your face, jerk.

Are you going to stay in here?

What's with you guys?

You, for one, and everyone else in the front yard. Who are you?

How is Hun your father?

Enough to pay off your debts and gamble to your heart's content.

You said that's all you needed.

So why are you asking questions now?

I didn't know I was getting into something with lives at stake!

I can't afford to make mistakes.

I'm his dad, after all.

Why the hell are you all so helpless against a damn kid?

You're asking that too.

Father's previous parents all asked the same question.

You know something? To orphans, the entire world is nothing but horror.

But if you've lived the greatest horror of all,

everything else pales by comparison.

The weak get torn apart, and the strong are rewarded with meat.

That's all we need.

So don't bother trying so hard.

No matter what you do, we'll only listen to Father.

This bullshit ends today.

Tomorrow, we're getting you some hiking gear.

I keep getting stuck here.

Gosh, beauty really is pain.

Are you getting an extra shot?

I won't ask anything else.

Just whether you want an extra shot.

Extra shot, please.

What about whipped cream? And caramel syrup?

More questions. Silly me.

I could just add everything to make it tasty.

I wasn't trying to be funny.

This isn't a question. I'm just jumping to conclusions,

so you don't have to answer.

Is your name Lee Mi-ju?

It's fake, right?

And you're not Lee Beul-li's sister.

I'd really like an answer to this one though.

Are you being hunted by the government or taking on the whole country?

Gosh, how could you say such a thing? It's absolutely not that!

Good, then.

And this is just to reassure you.

Ka-young

is as good as they come.

I just mean you should ignore whatever you hear others saying about her.

My goodness.

Goodness, I'm so grateful.

Wait, you're tearing up?

What's with the cherry blossoms?

Is this even the right season for that?

All right, everyone. I'll show you everything. Through here--

Sir, we can't let you pass.

Didn't you hear that I was the first to discover it and call it in?

I'll take a quick peek.

Everyone says that, based on the diameter of the pelvis found,

the corpse is most likely female.

Apparently, she originally had red hair,

but it was dyed after she was killed!

That means this is a very serious crime.

And who discovered it?

Ms. Ki?

What brings you here, Ms. Ki?

This was stuck in your tail light when you left your car with me.

What on earth do you mean?

What is this?

Take a look and see for yourself.

To me, it looks like a woman's bleached blonde hair.

Why give me this?

I don't understand.

What's going on here?

Your face tells me you do understand.

You're behind it, aren't you?

The skeleton they found.

And I'm guessing you did the same to the owner of that hair.

Ms. Ki.

Someone might seriously get the wrong idea if they heard you.

By the way…

did you come alone?

Of course not.

I'm here with someone you'd never dream of.

Don't waste my time and listen up.

The police are looking for this woman. Look familiar?

She has the same hair color too.

I actually looked in your truck bed that day.

Everything else made sense, but one thing felt out of place.

BLACK HAIR DYE

And then I saw the news.

Oh, he dyes their hair after their death. How fun.

You think that's fun?

Well, every masterpiece needs a signature.

That's why I came. To give you a gift.

Here.

You're actually giving me this

instead of taking it to the cops?

Why?

I guess someone's digestive system is working well.

You should finish up.

Come on, not that.

Finish up the bowing.

The same reason you had me fix your tail light, I suppose.

Because you and I are alike.

I knew it.

I knew you'd be just like me!

No. Unlike you, I'd never make a mistake.

If only there were a way for you to fix that error.

There is a way. Don't worry about that.

If this all works out well, why don't we do the next one together?

Let's talk after you fix it.

I don't work with amateurs.

Why did you do that? Why did you give the culprit the evidence?

He's the only one who knows where the missing woman is buried.

If I took that to the cops and they caught him,

then that bastard would use his last wish to escape.

That woman would be lost forever.

That's why I made it so he'd make his third wish sooner.

I don't think I'm the one who should be taking on the immortal being.

Eom Sang-tae will surely want to go back in time to get rid of the evidence.

When Eom Sang-tae makes his final wish,

give my notebook to my past self.

Why should I?

Let's make it clear. I only fulfill wishes--

You're a big fat liar. The writing on the bottom of the lamp.

The translation says it's the date it was made.

You translated it?

It says it was made in the year 1061. Haven't you seen it?

Do you check beneath your floors?

OCTOBER 24, 1061

You're right.

Did you not harp on about being locked up for 983 years because of me?

But you're off by 20 years.

Did you goof around for 20 years and then get locked up?

I'm sure I didn't!

I counted every single year with extra precision…

Or so I thought… so what's this?

Master. I found the smell.

Right.

What smell?

I've been doing my own investigation.

It's actually a little different from the original scent,

but not completely.

I'm not sure why, but either way,

the immortal one's scent is coming from that house.

It seems Shadi is here too.

You want us to visit Dubai?

Why?

I have a brother in Dubai who'd know what went down when I was locked up.

But we don't know when Eom Sang-tae will make his final wish.

I can come, wherever I am. And the notebook is in the lamp.

I guess you're right.

But why should I go?

Because I'd be safest by your side?

No. Because I'd be safest by your side.

What if I get tied up again?

I was a little careless, wasn't I?

What a motley crew.

I see. Is this one finally being kicked out?

In your dreams.

I'm pretty sure I only asked you to come.

The people who are safest by my side need to come with us.

I've got things to take care of there, so I need you

to take good care of Mi-ju for me.

She's never been abroad before.

Didn't you say these two were siblings?

Now this is her first trip to Dubai?

-We're new siblings. -We're new siblings.

Whether you're siblings or sisters, we're headed to Dubai.

And the tickets are first class.

You're cute from every angle.

How did you get here, exactly? I didn't see you in first class.

How? I got here by something else. A lam--

Yeah, okay. Who cares how you got here?

And we're getting picked up in a limo, no less.

For starters, let's take the limo to the hotel and eat.

Eat as much as you want, Min-ji.

We'll head to Old Dubai first.

Why there?

-See that jar here? -What?

-You want me to buy it for you? -No.

Could you rub it for me?

If I do it, no one will come.

Song Hye-kyo!

Is that you?

Is this a famous face?

You rubbed my jar so vigorously

that I just chose a face I liked from your region on Netflix.

You set me up?

Piss off.

Do you happen to be a genie too?

You made her rub it without an explanation?

Me? I'm his ex-girlfriend.

Oh, Jinniya?

It's been a really long time, hasn't it?

Could we chat for a moment?

A moment? Given our past, would a moment really be enough?

Hand over the coffee cup set I bought for you in the BC era.

I wouldn't still have that. I bet it's a relic by now.

Then what about the rug I gave you? At least give that back.

That too. It got worn out over time.

It probably helped date palms grow tall and strong.

Well then,

enjoy your chat.

I'll see you later. You're dead meat.

Wait, you're that bitch from back then.

And you're a bitch who also knows me? Where I'm from, reincarnation is a thing.

We just met, and she's calling me a bitch?

Hey.

Do you think we could go to your jar for now?

Do you think I'm insane?

I must be insane

to let you back in here.

I guess the interior is a lot more understated now.

Time sure is a cruel mistress.

Just spit it out. What? What is it?

Why have you come to see me?

I just have two quick questions.

Have you ever taken on a different appearance just to trick me?

Like you did today.

Did you ever take on the face of the human woman you just saw

and, you know, smile widely and prettily at me?

Get out. And would you just die already?

It really wasn't you?

Okay, then.

Do you remember our brother, the one who controlled sleep?

Shadi?

-Yes. -What about him?

I haven't seen him in about 600 years.

He put me to sleep and left me tied up with thread that's impossible to break.

Know anything about that?

The thread was unbreakable?

Shadi had a son with a human woman.

He wove rugs.

But the boy died.

He was half human and half spirit, so he lived a mortal life.

Shadi had a son?

Now Shadi can only sing when you desire, Father.

Back at the festival that time,

I saw Iblis.

He had the same face he wore 963 years ago.

If my brother wants to hide, you'll never recognize him.

I may not recognize him, but you most certainly would.

If I eliminate the lamp's master,

you will bring me Iblis's lamp, won't you?

Was his son's name Khalid by any chance?

I wouldn't know his name.

In any case, after all that fuss, you seriously sought her out again?

I didn't seek her out. She was reborn and found my lamp…

Wait.

Hold up.

How come you recognize Ki Ka-young? She died at eight in her past life.

What are you talking about?

Because of her, you took an entire city, and…

Damn it.

This must be the 20 years he sealed.

Hey, get lost already.

You and I never met, all right?

Hey, wait. What does that even mean?

My memories were sealed?

But…

Nice look, Zahara.

Where are all those countless beautiful flowers of yours?

This is the only flower left. The immortal's one.

Anyway,

have you heard that Iblis got out?

Has Iblis's punishment ended?

Where is he now?

All of your brothers are in the land of Goryeo.

Even Shadi is there, getting on my nerves.

Anyway, Iblis may pay you a visit very soon.

So keep your mouth shut.

No matter what Iblis asks, do not reveal what you remember.

You remember your grave mistake,

don't you?

Iblis went to meet who?

Jinniya.

They must have met by now.

He asked me where she was.

Your arrogance could reach the heavens.

I've just returned from restraining Zahara and what? Jinniya?

Since when have I let you act without my permission?

If the kindhearted Jinniya let anything slip, he'll chase that lead for sure.

Even if it means shaking down every last brother!

I have…

wronged you.

I blocked your ears so you would not hear, yet you still chirped away.

I shall take that voice which says whatever it pleases.

I trust you'll take good care

of the one thing you have left.

Why do you keep following me?

Master told me to protect you just in case anything happens.

He sure is watching me closely in case I die.

He has waited a thousand years, so he must be biding his time.

He's already had his once-in-a-lifetime romance.

What caused the breakup anyway?

So you figured it out?

Irem dumped me.

What's with the sudden confession? I was asking about Iblis and Jinniya.

Right, them. So you saw.

With them, too, my master was dumped by Jinniya.

-Why? -I thought you saw her.

Jinniya is incredibly beautiful. My master really doesn't measure up.

About all the wiper fluid you drank. I'll have to dock it from your pay.

All of a sudden?

Goodness me, how much gold is this?

Over there. That way!

I guess you don't know much about it.

That sort of illness can't be cured.

She always takes her medication. She even sets reminders to take them.

They're just sleeping pills and a sort of craving suppressant.

The rest is basically candy to put her grandma at ease.

Don't tell her grandma though.

I guess she has… a lot of secrets.

Mi-ju?

That look on your face is a big no.

She may not have any emotions, but she's totally amazing.

The meds are just a helping hand.

Is that so? That's right. You're right.

Whose words would I believe, if not yours?

You're my dear Ka-young's best friend.

So stop concerning yourself with other women, and focus on me.

I'm tall, so I've never bought heels before.

Should I buy these or not?

The shoe has found its way to its true owner.

Then absolutely buy them. I'll get them for you.

Can we get these? We'll--

You must be out of your mind. Do you know how much these cost?

-You should be stopping me. -Why? Just wear them out.

I have a ton of money. I'm super rich from trading stocks, you know.

I just want to buy you something.

Okay?

This blade here is called Muttalib's Sword or Iblis's Rage.

According to legend, Muttalib, the outsider, stole Iblis's treasure,

and Iblis, enraged, struck this sword down as a warning.

No one has been able to remove it since then,

so when developing this city, they created a square and built around it.

Why is Shaytan…

Leisurely sightseeing, are we?

What? No.

I heard you went to the desert, so I went for a walk.

So is that really your rage?

What is?

What the… Why is that there?

So this sword really is your rage?

Rage might be a bit of a stretch.

But it is my sword. Wait, so why is it stuck in here?

What? It really is mine.

Maybe I got drunk and left it

here?

That happened every so often.

Put it back. Now.

It's a tourist site now.

And that's a rule. One of Dubai's rules!

I was just putting it back.

I only carried it around to show off in the Middle Ages.

Seeing how much people like it does make me feel proud.

I guess I'll just leave it until I figure out why it's here.

-Didn't I just move it? -Sure. Who's next?

You don't even have 1,000 won. What was your treasure?

The tea set your ex bought you? Or the rug your ex--

That reminds me. Who was that woman we saw at the airport?

I've been itching to know.

Her? Min-ji's ex-girlfriend. Like someone else, her ex-girlfriend.

Right.

So that's why they exchanged such longing looks.

So, ex-girlfriends are to be longed for? Did you long for Jinniya too?

Why do we keep talking in circles?

Wait, then why was Min-ji's ex glaring at you?

Who knows? She was always that way.

We're having gamja-tang again?

-Do you even know what today is? -Of course I do. Our 300-day anniversary.

I'm sorry.

But I already made these plans.

I'm done with this.

Of the thousands of dishes out there, why does it have to be gamja-tang?

Not many dishes let you enjoy the marrow in each joint.

Would you just shut up so the two of us can talk?

Choi Min-ji. I can't take this anymore. Choose. Is it her or me?

Leave.

I loved you.

Fine. Have a great life or whatever.

She wished you well. Why the tears?

Just see her. See her and see me too.

That's just not possible.

Wow, what a heartbreaking story.

I've got a one-sided crush too, actually.

She has a cute, fluffy coat--

No one asked you.

Where should we go today? Today's our last day here.

Ka-young said we had somewhere to go, just the two of us.

The two of you? Why? Where?

My goodness.

Ka-young!

Hey, come and help me apply this.

Here.

I told you to ditch pain relief patches and see a doctor.

These work like a charm.

If I see a doctor, they'll just tell me to get surgery.

No way am I letting a knife near me.

It's my dream to be in the Miss Korea pageant.

And you never know, I might still have a shot.

My mom made a huge fuss when I got married.

She was saying I should be hitting salons in Myeong-dong, not getting married.

Should I be laughing?

Grandma, do you miss Mom?

Mom?

Of course I miss her. That's a given.

She passed away less than a year after I got married.

No, not your mom, my mom.

Your daughter.

Right.

Well, I…

I do think about her.

But

she hasn't even visited in 20 years, so, well…

That damn girl.

So you do miss her.

My goodness. Goodness me.

Mom had a far better mom than she deserved.

How infuriating.

Hey, you psycho bitch!

Just go ahead and make your wish first!

CLOSED TODAY

You really think I'll make mine first just because you're holding out?

You have no fucking idea how much of an opportunity this is!

Hey!

Mom, are you divorcing Dad?

First you get fired, and now this?

You get out too. You said you wanted to live alone.

Really? You're getting me my own place?

What, do I owe you a place?

You're on your own from now on. I could just not give birth to you.

What are you talking about? Are you saying you regret having me?

So you can resent me, but I can't resent you?

You made me regret it, damn it!

I gave you two chances,

and you still managed to screw everything up!

So this is your final wish.

It is.

My final wish…

is for you to forget

I already made two wishes.

Alas, the greed of humans.

It's been fulfilled.

Really?

Humans always end up falling into this trap.

Think about it.

If the wish that man made after 72 years had actually worked,

would I have remembered that story and told it to you?

What?

KANG IM-SEON, AUGUST 2, 2024 MADE HER FINAL…

I guess

I'm going to lose.

Not yet. That's just one person.

We have the mutt and YouTuber.

But Eom Sang-tae and Gu Bo-gyeong are already a done deal.

Listen carefully.

You still have one final wish. You can just undo all of this.

Just wish for it.

I can't do that.

If I do, I can't catch Eom Sang-tae, and…

you would lose.

By the way, does everyone give up so easily after the three wishes?

Don't they say, "Just one more"?

So their memories disappear.

The moment their final wish is granted,

they forget who they met, what they lost in order to gain something,

and everything related to you.

Is that right?

Does that mean…

I will too?

But will you

remember me?

Yes.

That's not very fair.

I visited Dubai.

It's a necklace.

Of all things?

What's with the sign language?

Wait, your neck. Were you hurt?

Don't tell me he took your voice too?

Damn that Ejllael! I won't just let this slide!

Hey! Are you insane? Get back here!

Let go. Let go of me, damn it!

Ejllael, you're evil!

Just let go! Come on!

Ejllael, you're evil!

What the hell is going on here?

How dare you lay your hands on a mythical beast!

This beast of yours bit me first!

Take him right now and piss off, or I'll obliterate him!

All right. I'll take him and piss off for you.

How far are you throwing me?

Wow.

Hey. Let's stop. I'm wiped out.

Fine.

Just answer me this.

You said I stole one of your feathers

before I was locked up, didn't you?

What exactly did I do

with that feather?

How the hell would I know that?

At least tell me when it was.

How long before I was locked up?

I've got a 20-year hole in my memory.

Who said that? Did Jinniya say that?

Wait, you're that bitch from back then.

So you all know something.

Fine. For now, just take the life of that immortal.

He'll come after Ki Ka-young because she broke the thread.

How would I do that?

You're overlooking three things.

First. Even I can't take the life of an immortal.

Just how would I go about revoking your magic?

Second. The immortal isn't after Ki Ka-young.

He's after you.

He wants to become your master.

And third.

I told you this already.

Shadi is not a hostage.

That immortal…

is actually Shadi's son.

His son?

But I heard Shadi's son was dead.

Aren't you scared?

Do you go hiking often?

No.

This is my first time.

Rough trail though. It almost killed me.

Either way, it's good to see you.

Ka-young.

How many wishes do you have left?

I thought it was particularly quiet today.

Move. You're not the one really asking that question.

So you're aware.

But, you see, I don't know a thing.

So please just give me a straight answer.

They want me to ask you that.

Those guys are terrifying.

They even kill people.

The moment I answer that question, I'll die anyway.

And my loved ones would be in danger again.

Is that right?

It's just that I've racked up some debt.

So I just need to do what I was sent to do.

I was told to do this if you didn't answer.

I mean it when I say

this is nothing personal.

The auto shop. The cars I fix. My adjustable wrench. Frogs.

The sound of dental scaling. Gamja-tang.

Min-ji.

Grandma.

"I will now also give you sorrow."

Lee Mi-ju.

Kki Kka-young.

I just need 1,000 won. Ki Ka-young. Ki Ka-young!

I'm taking care of you now. I can't do this if I lose.

What do you think you're doing? Do you really want to die?

So this is what they call fear.

Fear is really scary.

But I didn't fall on purpose.

Then you should've made a wish.

A wish to be saved!

You almost died.

If I made my final wish…

I'd forget you.

You damn psychopath!
