Wonderful World

I love this show! I wish I can binge-watch it but sadly, I have to wait two episodes every week on DisneyPlus. I would've binge-watched this in a day! Love the female lead coz she's such a great actress. It's the first time seeing her here. Every character in this story is so intriguing and this is possibly my fave role for Cha Eun Woo. I've seen him in romantic comedies, fantasy, but never in an intense drama and thriller like this. His acting fits his role even if he's too attractive for the role he's playing. It's an ongoing series and I can't wait for the next episode! I think a lot of moms can resonate with this show as well as married couples. What I am mostly anticipating is Cha Eun Woo's real identity and intentions. He seems to have a hidden agenda based from what I've seen so far, and also from the beginning, the hook used was foreshadowing. It seemed like he was mad at the female lead and he was about to run her over. I think he might be the son of the guy that the female lead killed.

This is a powerful emotionally involving tragedy drama about a little boy being killed in an accident. Revenge and justice follow in this spell binding tale. The writing and dialog are realistic so it never feels makjang. The story is plausible and believable and that makes it moving. The main characters are both wrong and right good and not so good. Lots of tears and angst do be prepared. Forgiveness revenge betray are explored in an intelligent manner. The ending is complete and satisfying enough for this kind of tragedy drama. The musical score is suitable quite operatic and grand at times. The direction is clear and classy and the cinematography is top quality. The acting and cast are very good. Kim Nam Joo plays the grieving mother without overacting so she is effective. Kim Kang Woo is good at playing the slightly flawed husband who hides something. Cha Eun Woo shakes off his glamorous rom com idol persona quite well to play the troubled and complex victim and avenger although the blue collar parts are a little like a fake photoshoot.

I wasn't bored with the 14 episodes because it was that good. Best non comical non romance serious drama in a long time.

Korean Drama '' Wonderful World '' is a melodrama-thriller.

The drama has quite a tragic story and it easily gets emotional and bittersweet when it deals with those matters. With an intense start, the drama slowly unfolds into a political thriller, with the main couple (not a romantic one though, fortunately!!!) having lots of chemistry and enhancing the intensity of the story.

Also, the performances were all great by every actor and actress of the cast. The characters were interesting as well and had depth. In addition, the family drama had many layers.

Finally, the ending was nicely handled, though the final episodes seemed like they were losing momentum.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

Kim Nam-Ju is unforgettable due to her mesmerizing play in Misty. I had very high expectations for this drama, and up to this point they were 100% fulfilled. Very loaded emotionally (the beautiful music contributes a lot to creating an atmosphere that engulfs you), with a perfectly build tension, this drama captivates the viewers from the very beginning. Kim Nam-Ju and Oh Man-seok, together with the entire cast, play at the highest possible level. It's difficult to be dissapointed, even if you are not that much into heavy dramas, but more into action or romantic comedies. I recommend it warmly, and if you like it you may want to try Misty if you haven't watched it.

She's Kim Namjoo, she's an excellent actress that always serve. It really started in a very heart wrenching episode, every episode is getting more interesting. Thank you for the star studded casts, love all the actors in this drama.

Cha Eunwoo, my jaw dropped and my knees buckled seeing you in every episode, you're so cool in action, i'm really into Kwon Seon-yul who's as handsome as hell and manly. You have the quality. Let's go for more mature roles in the future. Fighting!

P. S.

Seon-yul, looks like an angel, he smiles kindly on the outside, which makes him kind. But he has a sharp on the inside, which is quite unexpected.
