Answer 1

Override the create() method of the serializer as below,

class MovieSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    genre = serializers.ListSerializer(child=serializers.CharField())

    class Meta:
        model = Movie
        fields = [
            'popularity',
            'director',
            'genre',
            'imdb_score',
            'name',
        ]

    def create(self, validated_data):
        genre = validated_data.pop('genre',[])
        movie = super().create(validated_data)
        genre_qs = Genre.objects.filter(name__in=genre)
        movie.genre.add(*genre_qs)
        return movie
