Moreover, one guest's appearance in this show was definitely unpredictable! Kim Woo Bin's presence, charm, and acting skills have once again struck a chord with the audience, as usual.

Coming to the storyline, it has showcased the perfect plot of a genie and a master, a deal struck between two desperate individuals. But as the series unfolds with each episode, their bond deepens, but only fate decides what will happen next. What begins as a give-and-take relationship soon becomes a vulnerable one.
