Wonderful World (2024– ) User Reviews

Spellbinding powerful and intelligently written story well acted and produced

[phd_travel · 9/10 · 3 May 2024]

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.

AN EMOTIONALLY CAPTIVATING YET SUSPENSEFUL MELO MYSTERY DRAMA

[ashadayah · 10/10 · 3 March 2024]

This drama is told in a way that's emotionally captivating with a mixture of mystery and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat so it pretty much gives off Melo mystery vibes.

The story pacing is slow but not too slow as in paced well enough to keep you connected to it and I love how it is told in a way that captures your heart and emotions but also messes with your brain especially when it comes to figuring out the mysteries surrounding the characters.

The acting is with no doubt good...the female lead ( Kim Namjoo) is one of the veteran actresses and it shows its self in this drama by how she lets us feel all of her emotions on screen, Cha Eun woo is also doing great to be honest..I love how he uses his body language and eye and facial expressions to portray his emotions in a way that's subtle yet impactful..the rest of the cast is doing well as well...I love the characterisation and how these characters all appear to have a mysterious factor tied to them which keeps me immersely intrigued.

The osts, cinematography and direction is detailed I just love how the emotions of the characters are reflected through the colouring and cinematography...

And finally the ending that wholesome and satisfying after the roller coaster of emotions we went through I love how it was slow but steady and most of everything was wrapped up leaving no room for unanswered questions...it was WHOLESOME and healing.

In conclusion this drama is the kind of drama that lives you with a lingering feeling, it's unforgettable and it touches the heart, it's written brilliantly, and acted out in a way that's realistic thanks to the cast in addition to the amazing characterisation in a way that the characters were made realistic and morally grey which added to their complexity and depth and gave them personality....the show continues to be well detailed with amazing direction.. beautiful osts that reflect the story and amazing cinematography....all in all its a FULL PACKAGE!

Do I recommend?

ABSOLUTELY if you are in need of an Melo drama with a hint of mystery and suspense with amazing acting and interesting characters then wonderful world is that show.

IT DESERVES MORE HYPE!

"A Captivating Mystery And Thriller Drama"

[sheilajagocoy · 10/10 · 18 March 2024]

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.

A Gripping Dark Drama!

[BulletProofGirl · 10/10 · 20 March 2024]

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.

Emotionally spectacular!

[soneagu · 10/10 · 28 March 2024]

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.

Heavy Subject Not suitable for faint-hearted

[thammylagares · 6/10 · 3 May 2024]

Was a difficult show to watch, the heavy subject made impossible to be gladly entertained with the plot. Throughout the storyline the actors was mesmerizing, a stand ovation to Kim Nam-Joon portrayed of Soohyun, her heartfelt performance made me cry over and over, She was able to pour out so many emotions but with depth and intensity, for some seconds I thought that was for real. I usually spend most of the time watching something and seeing their mistakes but in this case I was able to surpass those mistakes because the acting of most people were on point.

Nevertheless I don't advice to watch this show if you have a traumatic experience, mostly because the emotions and pain in the history make the viewers introspectively remember past experiences and the weight of such memories can trigger something painful and difficult To deal with.

One of Rare Kdrama with perfect crime

[soobinh · 10/10 · 11 April 2024]

Wonderful world has very interesting story line of actor CHA EUN WOO who tried to revenge of his own family's misfortune, for your consideration, who cause his misfortunate are found the end of story. KIM NAM JOO She is the one misbehaved towards her son's death, so she had to take a responsibility everyone around her. In this show no one is innocent, and everyone is victims of their own sin. I would say twisted story nicely, and all the actors were just perfect and beautiful. Who is the winner? Probably no one, everyone got hurt. I hope that they would survive from the past and could step ahead from it.

Wonderful world

[lovelyemad · 10/10 · 12 April 2024]

Absolutely in love with this drama, Cha Eunwoo slayed hard along with all the other characters. I would love to see more of Cha Eunwoo but now realize that he's only a side character in wonderful world. Please give my man dramas where he is the main character lol. Cha Eunwoo's performance in "Wonderful World" is nothing short of remarkable. Portraying his character with depth and nuance, Eunwoo effortlessly captures the essence of the role, drawing viewers into his character's journey. His portrayal is emotionally resonant, showcasing his range as an actor and leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Eunwoo brings a perfect blend of charm, vulnerability, and charisma to his character, making him relatable and endearing. His on-screen presence shines bright, elevating the overall quality of the drama and earning him well-deserved praise for his performance. In summary, "Wonderful World" is a must-watch drama, and Cha Eunwoo's standout performance is a highlight that adds to its appeal. His talent and dedication to his craft shine through, making him a rising star to watch out for in the Korean entertainment industry.

A must see drama!

[kathylynfontelera · 10/10 · 2 May 2024]

All the actors did a great job most especially Cha Eun Woo who played as Gwon! His best Kdrama ever! The twists and turns with the husband Suho and Gwon roles did phenomenal. The storyline just gets your heartstrings of emotions right to the core! Losing a loved one through a tragic way really does get to you and then the families that are left behind even makes it even more lonely! I can't wait for more dramas to come of Cha Eun Woo!!! His acting really improved this time around! As for the main actress, just as amazing as the other actors in the show! I truly felt the emotions of a mother losing his/ her child. Being a mom, myself I'd would do anything to help my child in any way and would never forget them either!

What a Drama! Fantastic

[ramg65 · 10/10 · 5 May 2024]

This drama deals with loss, pain, guilt, and anger culminating into revenge. Even though possibly justified, to what end? The acting was superb...the emotions portrayed were delivered so authentically. This drama gave me many of the same feelings as My Mister. Two lost souls who are put in each other's lives, who in turn teach us all important lessons. More folks should be talking about Wonderful World. The female lead is a powerhouse actress. Will definitely watch Misty now. Cha Eun-Woo's acting is phenomenal. His character is complex and tormented. To see his character's growth and development through his silent expressions was so moving. I truly enjoyed this drama.
