Comments

Syasya May 23 2026 5:58 pm I must say the drama was a masterpiece✨️ when eun woo cries, i cry as long? it so hurt to see him crying i can feel the pain he feels as long with the FL? overall worth watching✨️

G May 13 2026 8:13 am SPOILERS

I’m at the last episode now, and can’t help but come to comment how absolutely cheesy it is for FL to suddenly become a martyr of sorts and get so many people all of sudden to stand in solidarity with her. Utterly ridiculous.

Aurora Oct 26 2025 12:29 am Aroha here supporting Eunwoo with his drama! Honestly I haven’t seen dramas lately, but this one is finally in my region and all I can say is that is Absolutely A Masterpiece!! I love everything about it, I’m so proud Eunwoo took part of this drama :) I highly recommend it, the acting of everyone it’s Perfect regardless of what anyone with not sense of the tension and drama can say hehe since Kairos I believe this is my fav drama from this era!

Whoosh Mar 20 2025 2:37 am Ugh. This was disappointing. So many stretched out moments, this could have easily been condensed into 8 episodes. Everyone was so stiff in their acting and no real chemistry between any of the characters. Several of the actors in this are great in other roles but fall flat in this series. The storyline was an overreach. I should have stopped when I thought it was getting bad.

izuki Dec 25 2024 6:43 pm FL so good, this drama is the masterpiece

Bae Dec 20 2024 12:34 pm Regardless he was forced or not to take the fall of someone else mistake. Kwon Ji Wong attitude towards the FL on 1st episode didn't seem he was forced at all. He even have the audacity to mock and blame the death kid and his mother. What a scum.... I don't have any sympathy at all with him... He didn't seem oppressed or depressed at all for someone who was forced by others.

Haru Dec 20 2024 12:24 pm This drama teached us that some human trash are impossible to be recycled. They already become the demon itself. Instead of begging them to repent or asking for forgiveness like any decent human being. You must lower your expectation first to stay sane and content with your own life.

KDrama Fan from PH Nov 11 2024 8:22 pm My Review on Wonderful World.

Honestly speaking, after watching this Korean Drama, there is nothing wonderful in Wonderful World.

The series consists of pain, losses, vengeance, manipulation, sacrifice and betrayal.

The story began when Eun Soo-Hyun’s, played by Kim Nam-Joo dies unjustly and due to emotional distress took revenge by killing who she seemed to be the killer, Seon-Yul’s father, then later learned there was someone else. Her husband, Kang Soo-Ho played by Kim Kang-Woo is reporter who loves his wife so much put everything on the line in the last part to his wife get justice.

Kwon Seon-Yul played by Cha Eun-Woo has an interesting character in this series. He will do anything to ruin the life of Soo-Hyun by destroying the people whom she loves then later learning that his father was forced to take the fall for some ambitious politician.

This series is a roller-coaster of emotions. Heavy in the chest. The actors were really great.

If you are in Revenge, Political Corruption, Family Drama and Redemption, this one is a good watch.

This one is under-rated because I haven’t reviews on it. I’m rating this Korean drama 9 out 10.

And I think that the title was from a song Wonderful World, it was the background song in the last episode when everything were on place and our lead characters are at peace. Well, they could have created a more appropriate title.

Follow for more Korean drama and series reviews.

K-drama Holic Sep 13 2024 6:39 pm 3 main character names are Soo-hyun (one vowel difference from Seohyun), Soo-ho (Suho), Yu-ri. The writer must be an SM fan.

Jillibean Aug 26 2024 3:43 am Very addictive revenge thriller with a great cast, cinematography, script, OST. I am glad I made the effort to watch this superb drama.

Noraoo Aug 15 2024 3:32 am Very good drama. Definitely you will like it.

Tuesday Jul 09 2024 11:58 am I watch this drama because of Cha Eun Woo and he is not disappointing. His acting is so good in this drama. He plays his role very well; I can feel the pain and sympathize with him and his situation. Maybe it is true that he needs a challenging role like this to show his acting skills and shine. He actually looks better without much makeup and styling. The FL did a great job as well; it is a hard work for her. All cast did a great job. It is a moving touching story, good cinematography but moving a bit too slow for me.

Fannie Jun 09 2024 4:27 pm The most important question tho: what happened to Happy after Gun Woo’s death? Did they just abandon him?

Portia Morz Jun 06 2024 10:56 am tbh, i watched this because of cha eunwoo. this my first drama of him outside his romance catalogue. i am also not familiar with the FL and his husband but this drama just slaps!!! great acting between the FL, everytime she cries i cant help but bawl my eyes out too. cha eunwoo has improved so much, i dont even think he's a bad actor. he just needed better projects like this. the husband was acting trashy in some episodes but the ending tho when he cried, my heart was hurting for him. great drama!

QuinSapphy Jun 05 2024 12:25 pm Don’t mind all these negative comments You will definitely love it The ML and the FL did their best Oh my cha eun woo

Satangel May 24 2024 8:44 pm I actually watched it because of cha eunwoo. But going into it, I find the drama very entertaining. A bit slow but the twist and turns gets you thinking and analyzing after every episode and throughout the series, which normally i dont. It reminded me of a thai movie that i watched with some friends and then analzing and debated amongst ourselves for hours after it. This was the same after every episode. For me, It's very different from the other dramas where u watch and just move on the next. And i am one who will wait for all the episodes to be aired before i start watching but just taking a peek on the 1st episode got me sitting on the couch waiting for the next episode to air. So to me, script was good, directing was good, cinematography was good, casts were beautifully casted.

Gdik May 17 2024 10:21 am I agree that the plot was predictable, but cinematography was nice. Cha eun woo's versatility as well as the other actors did great.

I did forward scenes im sorry.... im choosing important scenes lately.

I just didn't know which one to focus on. Main lead or second lead's revenge it was too confusing. Second lead's hatred towards the main lead wasnt built up well i guess. Is it worth your time? I guess it's ok

Csthy May 15 2024 12:47 am This is one great drama! Amazing acting. Wonderful script with no wasted words and no wasted scenes to extend it. Beautiful cinematography. One of the best.

Hari_yike～♡ May 10 2024 9:03 pm The plots were predictable but the drama is interesting

Captain Cha May 08 2024 12:41 pm 8/10. Kinda predictable plot. Normal citizens against a powerful politician over some "accidents", his staff turning against him, media slip, etc but FL acting is so good. I watched her in Misty. CEW on the otherhand needs improvement.

naeui Apr 27 2024 3:27 pm @B00: He was under the impression that his father accidentally hit the kid, already apologize sincerely and the court truthfully decide his father shpuld not be punished. He did not know that the court was rigged and his father gives super s**tty response towards the victim's mother.

B00 Apr 27 2024 12:04 pm I don't know or maybe it's just me. But if I knew my father killed a child and didn't take responsibility I would NOT seek revenge. He got what he deserved.

Nad2 Apr 23 2024 6:09 am It's a very emotional drama. good actors, good acting, good storyline. As a mother, I can't stop crying & hope no one will experience the same thing as gunwoo's mom.

Arizona Girl Apr 18 2024 7:20 pm I thought this would air after Knight Flower in the Midwest where I live, but no MBC is airing another re-run.

The Third Marriage is still airing. There are 6 o 7 other dramas airing and all are re-runs!!!

There are so many current/new dramas to be aired, why all the re-runs?????

What is going on with MBC?????

Ryunami Apr 15 2024 7:19 am Just completed this kdrama and for all the emotions this show build up from the first episode it's worth watching. The best ending and it should stay that way. I can also say this is the first best drama I've ever seen Cha Eun Woo did. Also thumbs up for the other supporting actors and actresses.

Chupaera Apr 15 2024 6:58 am I love the ending of this drama so satisfying but I want to have season 2 of this drama.. what if Cha Eun woo develop romantic feeling toward her and her ex husband is also trying to win her heart and maybe there will be antagonist that is related to congressman.. Can U Make Season 2 Of This!!

Cee Apr 14 2024 7:40 pm This was a great drama. Olot twist, good character development

Nicely tapped up ending. The male and female leads both did incredibly well and had good character arcs. Loved it.

Riya Gogoi Apr 14 2024 11:40 am " Wonderful World " has one of the best endings ever with so much of perfection . The actors were fabulous. They made it real. The storyline is so perfect. Loved it. It seemed like reading the story of a novel. You get to cry a lot but it ends happy and that's what is the most satisfying. I highly recommend it. ?

molly Apr 14 2024 10:49 am This drama was good and so were the actors. One could feel the emotions of each character. The only setback was the tons of flashback ever now and then. without them maybe this could be two episodes less

Binibining Guro Apr 14 2024 6:29 am This drama is so beautiful. I love everything about the last episode. Indeed, it was a wonderful world for everyone especially for Soo-Hyun and Seo-Yul. Have seen some of Cha Eun Woo’s drama and without a doubt this is his best one. If he was nominated in baeksang (and I wonder why he isn’t), he got the chance. Kim Nam Joo isn’t the actress you see in at least one kdrama a year that why when she does one, expect that it is a good one. She never disappoints, she is soo good here that’s why I am mad that she wasn’t nominated in baeksang. I hope we won’t wait another 6 years to see her again on our screen.

Aimen Apr 14 2024 6:05 am ThankYou ThankYou ThankYou For An Amazing Ending....This drama, without any doubt, had The Best acting and script this year...Kudos to everyone who was involved in making of this......

p.s: Cha Eun Woo, iloveyousm...♡♡♡♡♡♡

wnnny Apr 14 2024 4:30 am Additionally, the ending does not mention whether Soo-Hyun fulfills her promise to her prison mate i.e. ensures the fire victim Kwon Min-Hyuk is ok!

Love_KNJ Apr 14 2024 1:44 am Amazing drama, beautiful drama. Solid script, solid ending and offcourse solid act, especially by Kim Nam Joo. One of the best kdrama ever for me, at least after Goblin. I give 10/10, or even 1,000/10... Perfect !!!!!

Annita Grey Apr 13 2024 6:38 pm Couldn’t stop crying watching Soohyun protesting and people joining her and showing support. That was a beautiful moment. The ending was beautiful, glad Kim Joon got what he deserved.

lili Apr 13 2024 3:22 pm No word was even made to describe or name a grieving parent. The depth of pain is immeasurable that not even time can make you recover. We can just look forward of better days.

The emotions shown in this drama could make you think of how right or wrong is revenge. The only flaw of Soohyun is, in he process of grieving, she had totally forgotten her husband. It is practically abandoning him instead of grieving with him.

But like this beautiful and well crafted drama, despite of the greed of other people, despite of the pain inflicted by others, despite of the sufferings due to sickness, the betrayals, poverty, we are gifted with a wonderful world. A world that provides us all the opportunities to make ourselves better, to see the other side of revenge, that we can enjoy life and successes without the expense of others.

kirti Apr 13 2024 2:29 pm such a hopeful drama talking about human emotions that is a major part of our lives..such a wonderful cast that draws you into the story of the drama..I hope this drama gives as much as hope as it has given to me to the ones who needs the most at hard times of their lives.I hope we create a space to a wonderful world to exist.

Norhayati Yusoff Apr 13 2024 2:12 am I have watched epi 13 but not sure will disney hotstar malaysia be showing episode 14 the finale. Heart wrenching drama and love to see Kim Joon gets the worst punishment and Kang Su Ho is just as evil as Kim Joon. He deserves to get punishment alongside KimJoon. Come on when is the finale episode 14 will be shown.

Aimen Apr 12 2024 3:18 pm I'll be getting my revenge on writer-nim, if we get an unsatisfying ending...Pleaseeeeeeeeeee, Im Begging For A Good Ending....ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

p.s: I'm soo sad that this drama's ending, but at the same time, I'm also super excited for Chief inspector 1958.....I'll miss this cast sm...♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Star Apr 12 2024 12:26 pm Spoiler for episode 13. This drama is so heartbreaking. Please writer-nim, do not make it sad till the end. In the 1st episode, it's already so sad when we all thought her son died after hit by a car but what now? He was hit by a car then he was kidnapped and then got murdered like that...OMG! I almost cursed out loud and smashed my screen. That just cruel. Soo Hyun did right thing when she ran over Seon-Yul's dad. A heartless kid murderer. I hope the congressman got humiliates in front of media and die in agony. I got so emotional watching this. Glad it ends tomorrow because this is pretty heavy for me. I watched because of Eun Woo and relieved see how excellent he portrays the character along side with these brilliant senior actors, this drama seriously got in me. The ost make it even sadder. Aigoo.

Fab Apr 12 2024 4:01 am Release now the remaining two episodes 13 and 14 pleasr i can't endure my feelings right now...

lvrstarr Apr 11 2024 11:58 pm the drama has great storyline and a great suspense... I'm satisfied with the acting of the cast it's like they're suit for every role they're assigned to. So far this drama caught my attention this year

Chey Apr 10 2024 1:04 pm This one's a real slow burn drama however one of the best so far this year! ?? Kim Nam Joo and Kim Kang Woo are both astoundingly excellent that it seemed it has rubbed off on Cha Eun Woo on the later episodes. Cha Eun Woo has improved a lot since his last drama before Wonderful World. Lim Se MI nailed her character here, as well, & a far different character from her drama with Ji Chang Wook as a milutart police officer. She's versatile & here in Wonderful World she's pretty! The Stylist did her job well. ?

Fang Apr 10 2024 9:08 am Woahh one of the best drama I've ever watched. Kinda sad, the drama will end this week but can't wait to watch the last 2 episodes and see how soohyun and seonyul will fight against kim joon. I also wanna know what will happen to sooho and yuri, whether there will be a good or bad ending for them after they betrayed Soohyun.

Fla98 Apr 07 2024 3:20 pm One of the best drama !

Ryunami Apr 07 2024 12:40 am Cha eunwoo's performance in this drama is way far better than the previous two I had seen. He is lucky to have Kim Nam Joo, a senior actress as the FL in this drama. She's so good in her character.

wnnny Apr 06 2024 2:32 am This drama is intriguing. The actress/actor Kim Nam-Joo and Kim Kang-Woo play their respective role as Eun Soo-Hyun and Kang Soo-Ho well.

In the storyline, Eun Soo-Hyun's love and trust for Han Yu-Ri is betrayed by Han Yu-ri. Han Yu-Ri seduced Eun Seo-Hyun's husband Kang Soo-Ho.

nara Apr 03 2024 3:10 am fantastic drama .loving cha eunwoo's performance as seonyul and female lead is really good too.

jj Apr 02 2024 7:03 am I like this k-drama but honestly it’s quite pathetic. Eunwoo’s role is. He doesn’t even realise that Soohyun’s struggling and suffering as much as he is. But then again, this drama wouldn’t be good if the storyline isn’t like that. It really shows that Suho’s love for Soohyun is that deep and genuine as well as Yuri’s love towards her eonni. They also both repent on what they have done in the past and what happened between them (SH & YR) is their greatest nightmare.

I know that both of them are so wrong for deceiving Soohyun, however it does show how much Soohyun means to both of them and Suho is willing to do everything he can just to protect Soohyun and so that Soohyun wouldn’t leave him.

Also, it shows that Soohyun truly cares about Yuri even if what she has done was truly wrong. (When she visited her mom)

Don’t hate this comment. Let’s respect one of each other’s opinions. Thanks. (:

Jk Apr 01 2024 5:44 pm @Alok i completely agree with you. but it was probably a short appearance and the age appropriate aunties did not want to take up the role.

Roland Rumion Mar 31 2024 12:41 am I really love this series, all episodes make me cry. Excellent

Happy Me Lucky Me Mar 30 2024 1:22 pm Another 4 episodes. Can't wait to see how it ends. But why I got a feeling it's gonna be a sad ending. Oh my!

Seon-Yul, please open your eyes palli palli. You help a bad person and hurt and revenge to a good ones. I really wanna smack his head but boy oh boy, isn't he beautiful? Haha! For real, Eun Woo is so pretty.

And as for me, I really think Eun Woo improve a lot. Don't like him in that dog drama, find it stiff. But really like him in this character. I think he plays it well. I don't think every scenes need to be overacting, so there's few times he doesn't show too much emotion but I still think he delivered it well. His crying scenes also give me the impact, I do feel sad. So yeah, that's my opinion. More characters like this in future so he can always improve. No more like that dog drama. So flat. Fighting,Eun Woo ah! Xoxo

vinderine Mar 30 2024 11:50 am I think Kim Joon is the real father of Seon Yul.. His mother was assasinated cause her mouth should be sealed forever..

Alok Mar 30 2024 9:00 am How do they cast actors i don't understand. the one who plays Yu-Ri's mother (Jo Yeon-Hee) is only 10 years older then her and 6 year younger then FL (Kim Nam-Joo) which is weird because as per this drama FL character must be 4-5 years older then Yu-Ri so Yu-Ri's mother is obviously much older then FL.. why they couldn't cast age appropriate actors for it..

Jack Mar 30 2024 4:55 am One of the best drama I have watched so far!!!! thumbs up to the director ,writer and the cast most especially Cha Eun Woo!!! Always looking forward to your next work.

klover Mar 29 2024 7:45 pm

shrugs*. There are some nice scenes in this drama but there's something about it that's a little off.

Rosette Mar 29 2024 3:18 pm I like this drama!! Eunwoo is very different here, of course thry still need to add moments where they can highlight his looks which isbt necessary. Honest commentary, i want eunwoo to end uo thr victor here. First off thr FL lead killed his father savagely in cold-blood, she didnt think of thr family he has. While eunwoos father is at fault, it was an accident, but he wasnt remorseful and got away scott-free but it was still an accident. It is understandable that thr hatred eunwoo has for thr FL lead coz it destroyed his family. FL was selfish and pnly thinking anout herself, even pitying the son of thr fire victim but she didnt think that thr man she murdered also has a family. Hope she gets ehat she deserves. All in all drama is awesome but slow paced. The director enjoys ‘emote’ moments from thr cast where they stare into space for a number of useless minutes.

ChaEunWooFan Mar 29 2024 11:48 am Was Gun Woo’s death not an accident, but planned by Kim Joon to bring down Soo Ho since that guy has some beef with him? I think he hired Seon Yeol’s Dad Ji Woong to do the job and Seon Yeol’s Mom Eun Min found out the truth after her husband’s death so Kim Joon planned her accident too. That’s just my theory since people like Kim Joon would do anything for power. If that’s the case then hopefully she wakes up soon and tells her son the truth.

wnnny Mar 25 2024 12:54 am I think Kwon Soen Yul's mother was killed by Kim Joon, the man he is working with) so I hope he will find out in due course and regret all his nasty acts toward Eun Soo-Hyun/her family. Therefore, Soo-Hyun never forgives him.

Hopefully, Soo-Hyun will recover her car dashcam recorded Soen-Yul's father's conversation with Soo-Hyun 6 / 7 years ago before Soo-Hyun hit him.

Hopefully, the fire victim Kwon Min-Hyuk will change his lifestyle and help Soo-Hyun uncover the truth behind mysterious cases.

emlyx Mar 24 2024 12:02 pm im sorry guys but i cant seem to take cha eun woo seriously in this role.. ifeel like they should have picked a different actor to play this serious role, its not made for cha eun woo hes too pretty lolol

Moon Mar 24 2024 12:02 pm When Soo Hyun ran over Seon-Yul's dad, I hope there's a dashcam recorded what he said to her. Seon-Yul need to watch that. His dad maybe a good dad but a jerk human being. Anyone would do the same thing if the killer shows no regret,no remorse. Still feel sad thinking how she lost her son.

sf Mar 23 2024 11:56 am I hope the white truck will hit Kwon Seon-Yul. He doesn't want to see his father's wrongdoing. He sees only what he wants to see.

ChaEunwooFan Mar 23 2024 8:17 am I mostly skip watch since mystery isn’t my favorite genre (and I only watch this drama for Eunwoo), but so far this drama is very interesting. Also making predictions in your head after watching an episode is thrilling, like how I think Soo Ho cheated on Soo Hyun w/ Yuri and not the neighbor lady and how she (Hye Geum) could be the mistress of Kim Joon the congressman. Her child (Hee Jae) being the illegitimate child Soo Ho talked about and all. My predictions may be incorrect cuz maybe I’m getting ahead of myself after all I skip watched it, but I’m so excited to find out what will happen on the upcoming episodes.

Angelica Mar 23 2024 6:51 am Dong Min's character portrayal is truly outstanding, bringing depth and authenticity to the role. His nuanced acting skills and emotional range make him a standout in the series. Dong Min's character development throughout the drama is remarkable, as he navigates through various challenges and experiences personal growth. His charisma and on-screen presence truly shine, making him a beloved character that viewers can't help but root for. "Wonderful World" and Dong Min's portrayal are definitely deserving of praise and recognition.

Josh Mar 23 2024 5:06 am That's the result of versatile artist and the good story line. No trash at this drama. I amaze how she portrayed a mother losing her child and also the plot, the hell. Applause to the writers, directors and the cast...

Kim Mar 22 2024 1:54 pm I'm pretty sure the real villain is the congressman. Congressman must have bribed Seon-Yul's dad to take the blame and since Seon-Yul have heart problem, his dad might took it to save his son. If it's true, can't he be gentle when Soo Hyun asked him to apologize for killing her son. He was so rude and no mercy. No wonder, Soo Hyun ran over him thinking he has no remorse at all.

And maybe Seon-Yul's mom who got hit and run, it was no accident. Maybe she found out the truth? And congressman ordered someone to kill her?

P/s: Cha Eun Woo is so gorgeous. There, I said it. Haha!

Shin Ha ri Mar 22 2024 4:34 am Honestly honestly I’m dumbfounded to realize that soen yul is actually the ahjumma in the hospital son Wow wow what a twist of plot True for some reason he isn’t interested in reading the dairy, i though he was playing victim.

This is one of the kdrama that i never expected such twist. Wow can’t wait for the next episode to air.

Mey Mar 20 2024 7:41 pm Kwon Seon-Yul is the son of Kwon Ji-Woong. He pretended to be the fire victim's son. He planned to seek revenge and partner with the fire victim's son. He also always performs music in prison because he wants to know if Eun Soo-Hyun is suffering in the same way that he is. It's surprising that he doesn't appear to be interested in reading the diary. Besides, how did he happen to work with Kim Joon? It's because Kim Joon knows his father.

Dreamhigh Mar 20 2024 12:44 pm interesting drama, so far so good.

Manisha kumari Mar 19 2024 12:39 pm This drama storyline is very slow. I don't know whether I will complete watching it or not. I am losing my interest.

Yoyegi Mar 18 2024 12:21 am I can guess who Cha Eun Woo is since Ep.1. Why did director add that scene since ep.1 ? This drama had a few important charcters whoever can guess it.

Yana Daniel Mar 17 2024 1:52 am Kim nam joo first disappointing drama... I have such a high hope.

sf Mar 16 2024 12:09 pm I don't understand anything from this drama. After she was released from prison and she discovered that her husband was cheating on her, the fog came down and enveloped me. What is it about?

Vish998 Mar 16 2024 9:55 am I think, 1. Kwon Seol yul is the son of kwon ji woong... And 2. kwon seol yul's step mother is in the hospital... Anyway 3. kwon min hyeok is yul's step brother...

So,

 While kwon ji woong imidiatly went to the hospital to see his wife and Soo hyun's son (gun woo) hit his car.

jenesaisquoi Mar 15 2024 12:25 pm If you know “Why Woman Kill” series from Prime you’ll know about the gate plot.

Alok Mar 15 2024 4:05 am I think Han Yu-Ri was the one Kang Soo-Ho is having affair with (it's always the the friend/closed ones)..her facial expression says it all when Eun Soo-Hyun said to her that her husband was cheating..that neighbor woman must have seen Han Yu-Ri in the 1st episode when she was recording her son riding cycle & may be blackmailing Kang Soo-Ho...

SeoulManila Mar 11 2024 11:48 am Watching this on Disney Channel.Got interested in this drama because of Cha Eun Woo and the other male lead.The first & 2nd episodes were melodramatic, like one was watching a kdrama from the late 90s or early 2000s. The lead characters were good in acting but pacing could have been made faster and not lingered too long on some scenes. Sorry but I'm not a fan of the overly done cosmeticallly altered, missing nasolabial line and overfilled cheeks of older actresses.I hope they don't pair her with CEW!

Andrea Mar 11 2024 8:33 am Where can I watch this? On what platform? Disney, Netflix or Amazon prime?

Lalisa Mar 10 2024 7:42 am This drama might be inspired from “Why women kill”. The storyline is almost the same except this one might be more thrilling as it involved higher authority.

sf Mar 10 2024 6:59 am His wife gave him freedom but still, he wanted to be with his wife. Why?

Eri Mar 10 2024 6:01 am @Phoebe the song is a cover of “What a wonderful world” by Louis Armstrong. This one was sung by Imaginary Future & Kina Grannis. I cried so hard from the middle of episode 1 till the end. The actors can actttt. Their facial expressions and crying, everyone evoked in me the emotions caused by the loss of a child when I’m still a teenager. I’m looking forward to more episodes.

Mi mi mi Mar 09 2024 8:06 am @Carmin your point gives another angle to the drama and in my case I don't want a reunion with her ex husband. Her dead child will be a constant reminder with him around and whether he cheated or not the FL shouldn't get to go back to her former life.

Olive Mar 08 2024 1:56 pm When he is not picking the phone and saw his phone unattended i knew there's something fishy about it. And when the Congressman saw a video to him i thought he betrayed her and i even thought that he cheated and that girl is her bff i might be wrong or someone else who discreetly opened the gate and fled when she returns and leave the gate opened. Something is fishy with that neighbor and her kid i think they know something or saw that day of accident?

Scar330 Mar 05 2024 4:15 pm Wonderful World is a must watch! From the first episode, with its opening scene showing Cha Eunwoo having a stare down with Kim Namjoo and drives his car seemingly towards her, the whole scene was just so impactful, with both their eye-acting and facial expressions carrying the scene to perfection; that it already gripped me and sparked my attachment to this drama. It got a hold on me from the get-go, resulting in wanting to stay and uncover the story and unravel its mystery. The excellence in acting and the fast pace of the story kept me engaged, with much curiosity on how the gripping drama will progress. Veteran actress Kim Namjoo is Queen as expected, with her excellent, amazing drama chops, making the audience feel for her tragedy with shared tears and broken hearts. The 2nd episode came around, and Cha Eunwoo's appearance was again so impactful, with him showing a different side of him as an actor, with his masculine, rough, tough, strong and powerful presence, and even without much lines to deliver, his eye-acting, face/body acting, his aura, can't help but capture his audience's attention. I for one was captivated by Cha Eunwoo, and will surely see this drama through; in fact I can't wait for the next episodes where for sure, the main leads, KNJ and CEW will further grip my interest and my kdrama heart. In a nutshell, Wonderful World is wonderful!

totem Mar 05 2024 5:14 am I don't know why people are so uncomfortable with older woman and younger man pairing when it happens everytime and accepted if genders are reverse. In korean drama My Mister starring IU and late Lee sun kyun didn't raise any eyebrows. Moreover , this drama is not some romance , its more about two unexpected people who have lost all hopes and happiess finding solace in each other's company , irrespective of age and gender. It is journey of these people.

Celyn Mar 04 2024 9:37 pm Was crying all the time, a mother's love will always be immeassurable, the acting is superb and nunu is so haaawwwtt? excited for the next episodes?

carmin Mar 04 2024 10:47 am I Do Agree With This Comment...How the son died seems exactly like what happened in an American series where the husband has a mistress who couldn’t close the gate properly because she’s rushing out. The husband has blamed the wife but she actually closed the door.---Yes This Is What I Think Too!!!

H Mar 03 2024 6:03 pm The first episode had me crying soo much, the acting was incredible. Feels like the ones that might help them clear all of the gilt that mom has on the door, are the neighbours (the mom and the kid), they watched her getting in when she came back from the airport.

I'm excited for the ep 3, the second one was good too.

B Mar 03 2024 4:43 pm It seems like jang hyung ja referring sun yool's parent whom she killed from the fire. Hyung ja ask soo hyun to give the letter to the son from the victim of the fire.

Upekshya Welikala Mar 03 2024 9:00 am Why do I have a feeling Kwon Sun Yeol (Cha Eun Woo) is the 8 year old boy from the arson incident?

Aimen Mar 03 2024 5:47 am Gwaddddddddddddd, acting was Amazzzzing....Im obsessed....

Plus, how can I find a mechanic like Cha Eunwoooo!!????

Phoebe Mar 03 2024 3:13 am Does anyone know the the closing theme song?

Nevilla Mar 03 2024 1:42 am I have watched 2 episodes and I am enjoying this drama. It is suspenseful and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Cllr Mar 02 2024 9:34 am I mean for sure the chemistry will not be like two lovers since they are not , how can you judge something like this in 1 episode that's scary

Mika Mar 02 2024 9:03 am How the son died seems exactly like wgat happened in an American series where the husband has a mistress who couldn’t close the gate properly bec she’s rushing out. The husband has blamed the wife but she actually closed the door.

Anna Mar 02 2024 8:31 am What the hell with the cast

Sung Mar 02 2024 8:30 am Omg there's no chemistry they look like mother and son

Kim Mar 02 2024 7:41 am Just watched the 1st episode. Oh God...I cried a bucket. Nam Joo & Kang Woo's acting are so good, I can feel the pain of loosing a child. Can't say anything about EunWoo yet because I think we can only see him afterwards. Acting with sunbae who brilliant in acting definitely a good opportunity to improve his acting skill. I hope he will do good in this drama. BTW, I think Soo Ho having an affair with Yoo Ri. That's why both didn't pick up the phone. And I think Soo Hyun did lock the door but Yoo Ri left it open when she left the place in hurry. IDK...haha! P/s: I actually feel happy when Soo Hyun ran over of that jerk. Deserved.

Jk Mar 01 2024 5:54 pm I somehow feel that Soo Ho might have another woman Hye Geum and Hee Jae is their son. Something feels off about Soo Ho.

Another point Sun Yool is probably the son of Kwon Ji Woong, the man who killed the young boy.

Xander Mar 01 2024 4:59 pm 30mins of watching episode 1 and I'm already hooked. Damn this Kim nam joo woman can act ?

Cerine Feb 29 2024 12:27 pm Will eunwoo fall for the teacher ?

Serious granny Feb 29 2024 2:16 am Looking forward on this series. It’s a good decision for Eunwoo to do more serious movie. I think it will improved his craft as well as his future image in the industry. It’s time for a more matured character. I hope this will be a hit. It’s Level up. Good luck Cha Eunwoo.

Bubbles Feb 28 2024 2:32 am Hoping they become a lover in this series

Chubs Jan 31 2024 6:54 pm Eunwoo's acting so far from the trailer shows another side of him. Glad he took this after A Good Day to be A Dog as that seems to be close to his characters to his previous dramas. Looking forward to this! I also hope there will be no romance arc here. It would just be too cliché to insert something romantic in a story of seeking justice.

neea Jan 29 2024 7:06 am wow, Kim Nam Joo is so pretty

Deep Jan 26 2024 5:53 am I'm excited watching cha eunwoo drama

DrSunshine Jan 26 2024 1:17 am Will watch this for kim nam joo. Been a fan of her for so long. This lady is versatile & cool. Definitely an experienced actress who could literally take any role. Good for Cha eun woo too

Jan Jan 15 2024 3:39 am I love Kim Nam Joo!? Excited to watch this drama!?

star Jan 14 2024 7:54 am This drama will be a hit, i can feel it

Annoying Kimchi Jan 08 2024 6:39 pm Cha Eunwoo is a versatile actor. He can be a tsundere like in True Beauty & My ID is Gangnam Beauty. He can be a funny innocent prince in Rookie Historian Goo Hye Ryung. He can be a cool & warm professor in A Good Day To Be A Dog & now this time Cha Eunwoo can be either the villain or a son who will take revenge or the son of a mother who seek justice or the lover of the female lead. I will be seated for sure.

luna Dec 28 2023 10:20 pm im semi and cha eunwoo! it might be them in the romance part? kim namjoo will be out for revenge and she becomes mentor/mother role to eunwoo but then he turns out to be the villain or the cause of his son's death. idk lol. can’t wait for this to air. hope it’s more dark thriller than melo though.

Eros Dec 27 2023 4:53 am Three amazing actors..... and an interloper.

yasmen Dec 09 2023 2:39 am I'm so excited about this drama

bean Nov 22 2023 12:39 pm the age gap is kinda...

Saku Oct 30 2023 1:39 pm I'm so excited for the kdrama... Cha Eun woo will do a great job ??????? I hope to see a New side of him

Myles Sep 17 2023 11:31 am Hmm i wonder what the plot twist/s will be in this kdrama? So excited to see the comeback of the great Kim Nam Joo! I know she'll slay her role once again. Excited as well for Cha Eunwoo in perhaps, his most challenging role yet. I'm confident he will give justice to his character here. He was really good in Decibel despite his limited appearance in that movie.

Annoying Kimchi Sep 17 2023 10:20 am I am waiting for you Kwon Soon Yul.

Leeseo Aug 15 2023 10:27 am cha eun woo slay, my bias forever <3

Police p Jul 11 2023 8:31 am excited about Cha Eun Woo's new role. and hope to have a love line

V4NN Jun 26 2023 8:25 am cheers to all the cast and crew

... Jun 18 2023 8:00 am Putting a huge a gap between leads while THE kim kang woo is degraded to supporting role... And the main ML can't act

Marina Jun 15 2023 11:56 pm So excited. Can't wait for Kim Nam Joo.?

Jillibean Jun 12 2023 1:53 am Sounds interesting. I haven't seen Kim Nam Joo in anything for awhile and I always like Kim Kang Woo -- hope he accepts the role! Cha Eun Woo is fun to watch too. So handsome.

Alice Jun 02 2023 10:30 pm Kim Nam Joo comeback!! Hopefully the drama story will be good enough for someone her calibre.

Jenncosinas@gmail.com Jun 01 2023 6:15 am Cha Eun Woo ????

Binibining Guro May 31 2023 7:20 am FINALLY!!!!! So excited for Kim Nam Joo's small screen come back.
