Comments

Tee Jun 04 2026 6:10 am Mr. Son is my favourite character in the series. They were all amazing though. Giving this a 10000/10

Jillibean Jun 02 2026 7:54 pm Definitely is going to be in the top five of 2026. Very funny and delightful and even moving at times. I marathon-ed the whole show in one day, it was that addictive. :)

Mina May 31 2026 4:46 am Sekkiya...Yes, this country is a Zionist supporter.

Jay May 28 2026 9:59 am Favorite character is the loser dad/husband who talks a lot. The scene where he was scolding the mind manipulator Wunderkind and she can't get her message across bc he was yapping too much was hilarious.

Kdramafan May 26 2026 11:24 pm I purely enjoyed this drama! The cast was a good combination and unexpectedly quite funny. Each character contributed well to the drama. This was cool too in sense of their super powers. I enjoyed the comedy and action series combined and look forward to season 2!

Pure Fun May 26 2026 8:29 pm The comedy is pure gold. There were some rofl moments but mostly you would be non stop grinning. Its continuos flipping btw drama, humor, action shows excellent writing, screenplay n ofcourse acting skills. The only flaw is when I noticed only 1 bullet on scientist, those who noticed would understand it. Also, the last half hour seemed it could revise its editing. All in all , you want to laugh away for 8 hours , just watch it.

rusty greaves May 26 2026 3:58 am different but entertaining....comedy mixed with intrigue...very good

Chaenosuke May 25 2026 8:43 am Every time Chae Ni gets Un Jeong’s last name wrong, I’m reminded of Inosuke mispronouncing Kamado Tanjiro lol similarly I think it would’ve been funnier if Chae Ni had said a completely different last name other than Choi each time

Vaira May 25 2026 7:33 am ⭐ The Wonderfools Review This is my first time rating a K-drama I’ve watched, and I can say that this is such a comforting drama. I really recommend this if you’re into rom-coms and slow-burn romance. The chemistry between the two leads is seriously amazing I’m definitely looking forward to Season 2. This is exactly the type of K-drama I love funny, comforting, and heartwarming at the same time.

Cathy May 25 2026 2:28 am 10 +! Fun, great story, great acting, great chemistry, great directing!!!

Le Clerc May 25 2026 1:26 am Choi Dae Hoon Best Actor! Impressive!!!!

Jen Hone May 25 2026 1:12 am Choi Dae Hoon absolutely carried his character in Wonder Fools. His acting felt so natural and effortless compared to many actors today. Every expression, emotion, and scene delivery was incredibly believable — he made the character feel real instead of “acted.” Honestly one of the most talented performances I’ve seen in a long time. He truly deserves a Grand Daesang for this role.

Jillibean May 24 2026 3:24 pm So many favorite veteran faces popping up in this drama. I always love to see that. It makes it feel like Olde Home Week. Lol

Wendie May 23 2026 7:07 pm It’s been many months since I last watched a kdrama (life was life-ing) and this show was on my list. Just 3 episodes in, I’m dying lol this is my kind of humor

fangirl May 23 2026 6:38 pm The Wonderfools is very highly recommended. We enjoyed watching this series. My mother and father did not stop laughing to the scenes. They have a good dynamics. All the scenes are naturally funny. Congratulations to the team for the success of this drama. Plus Cha Eunwoo is very demn handsome and his acting is so good. Want to watch it againnn . 100/10

Jang Mi May 23 2026 8:36 am The film is very funny and fully embraces its comedy style, but the story feels quite simple. The interactions between the characters are entertaining, although most of them do not have enough depth to create a strong emotional connection.

Some characters are purposely immature or annoying, which helps certain comedy scenes but may not be enjoyable for everyone. The movie works best when it focuses on the group’s chemistry and humor, while the villain and conspiracy plot feel less developed.

The tone of the film can also feel uneven, suddenly changing from emotional moments to exaggerated comedy. Even with these weaknesses, it is still a fun and enjoyable movie for people looking for light entertainment and laughs rather than a deep story.

Viv May 23 2026 2:06 am This movie is 10/10 So very very interesting ,I really enjoyed it

Catherine Diesen May 22 2026 9:27 pm This is so silly but I'm still watching it. Loving all the actors. And yes I would recommend this drama

Raakhi May 22 2026 11:43 am I really love the movie it was worth watching all the 8 episodes very exciting none of the episode were boring everything was just so thrilled and I furnished at and just 3 days it was so fun watching it I could not take my eyes of it

nat May 22 2026 3:30 am Park Eun Bin has been described by Korean critics as a "captivating one-woman show" (Ilgan Sports), praising her ability to effortlessly transition from exaggerated physical comedy to action and dramatic/emotional moments. They appreciate that she manages to give vulnerability to such a chaotic and hyper-energetic character, preventing it from becoming tiring or overly caricatured. She truly deserves an award.Many talk about Chaplin-style comedy, perfect facial expressions, excellent comic timing, and great stage presence. It is considered the best thing in the series.

IMO007 May 22 2026 12:27 am Ok I’m reading comments below, I agree with some comments and not so much either some. Park Eun-Bin she will win best actress award for this. This acting of hers is really hard to do and not amateur status. You cannot see Song Hye-kyo or Son Ye-jin any other actress taking on this drama but Park Eun-Bin is perfect. The drama is magnificent and different from other dramas. Just watch you will love all actors and actress, everyone did their parts really well. It’s refreshing and funny.

ugh May 22 2026 12:16 am wanted to like it. hyper knife was meh and had me waiting for it so i could get a better dose of PEB. great casting. well filmed...

...and then episode 5 and the hallucination scene. IYKYK and it seriously ruined the rest of the show because i hated everyone involved for that Extreme close up of something normal people never want to see.

1/10 if i'm being generous.

min May 21 2026 4:36 am PEB always does well, but for some reason i'm not feeling her acting here. It's giving "look i'm acting"

M May 21 2026 3:08 am This is fun and refreshing. Since it's supposed to be comedic (?) so the acting has to be exxagerating which one might find annoying.

If you need some laugh, give it a try.

Pier May 21 2026 1:23 am The WONDERfools (often stylized as The WONDERfools) represents a novelty in the superhero genre precisely because it deliberately rejects the classic models of invincible, charismatic heroes "destined" for greatness. It shouldn't be compared to the classics or any of the previous K-dramas.

Borrelli Massimiliano May 20 2026 11:46 am The Wonderfools is the funniest and most engaging series of 2026

Eskimo May 20 2026 11:05 am Huge fan of Park Eun Bin! But WONDERfool is not Netflix's answer to Moving and gosh did the final episode jumped the shark. They really need to hire better writers.

shiera hasif May 20 2026 6:05 am "The WONDERfools was so good, I really hope there's a season 2!"

Ahjumma May 20 2026 1:10 am Omg i laughed so hard for dumbnes of the duo Robin and Son

kdrama May 19 2026 11:31 pm @May I agree with what you said. SPOILER - unjeong did gave her two packets of coffee but that literally does nothing. She teleported to him, but he still did nothing. She eventually went back the lab. He probably did that so that she can save herself or something but he did know that she was still in the lab and didnt get to save herself because the duo guys and the grandma asked him looking for chaeni. and also the fact that he went to save her and kissed her right away just makes me mad. like boy you betrayed her and when you changed your mind, you went and kiss her?? like what?? i get that hes trying to raise her heartbeat but if i was the girl i would be so mad at him.

Syasya May 19 2026 3:22 pm Please make Season 2 for this drama! It’s such a fresh and unique genre for Korea since this kind of concept is usually seen more in European or Western productions like Marvel or DC. I absolutely love this type of drama and highly recommend everyone to watch it.

I also really love the four main actors. The comedy was so fun, and I loved the little bit of romance between the main leads, Eunwoo and Eunbin.

I highly recommend watching it, don’t overthink it and don’t compare it to other English movies. This drama is amazing in its own way, and the superpowers actually feel exciting and believable, just like in Marvel or DC movies. I seriously loved it so much.

Please Make Season 2!!! Vote for it!!! And please keep the same main leads ?

alaina May 19 2026 11:20 am I love this show!! make more episodes like seasoned 2

May May 19 2026 4:38 am This drama was fun to watch; I laughed a lot, mostly because of the duo, Gyeong hun and Robin. SPOILER ALERT!!! However, one thing continues to bother me. Unjeong literally handed Chaeni over to the bad guys, knowing they would kill her. I get that he was trying to find his mom, but he didn't even try to save her until the grandma talked to him. He was even trying to leave the city. I was hoping he had a plan, that he didn't actually betray her, but he did? I'm so pissed. He came back and saved her, but I just can't forget the fact that he betrayed her after he was taking care of her, smiling, and stuff. I enjoyed it except for that one part.

Right right May 18 2026 11:14 pm Loved how the scriptwriter basically just put idiots IRL into the story.

The MC character was so f bad I had to skip lots of scenes because it was really booooooooooorrrrrrriiiiingggg. Thanks to Choi Dae-hoon (sticky guy) and Im Sung-jae (strong guy) for their acting that saved the entire drama. Also thanks to all the supporting actors and actresses that made this drama alive. But not Park Eun-bin and Cha Eun-woo. Oh Jesus God my Lord, oh my God, my eyesssss — what the hell was that acting?? Who the hell signed them to do this? Eunwoo with his one-face acting, and that Eun-bin who only copied her Extraordinary Woo character into this drama. Cheap acting. You had one job and you failed it.

Also, the story has two powerful mutants (hallucination & brain control), but they cannot make them work together even though they’re best friends and have good interaction.

If you want to make the fools win, at least make the villain powerful enough and hard to defeat, but still defeatable with the fools’ tactics and powers. Instead, they made the villain so weak and the fools too weak, so you’re basically watching 5-year-old boys sitting together on a bench and chatting about their dream of becoming superheroes.

Also, this is the 90s–2000s era, right? The fashion doesn’t really feel old enough to describe the moment. It looks less like jackets you get from thrift shops and more like new supermarket outfits.

Terrible fashion choices, not representing the past at all (except for the phones), the makeup is too futuristic, and the actors — oh Lord, please someone slap the scriptwriter and director for me. Just slap them and fire them.

Soyokaze May 18 2026 6:04 am It was sooooo fun and the plot was interesting Lovedd It 10/10

Cami May 17 2026 6:55 pm Cha Eunwoo absolutely delivered in this one. The balance between comedy and action felt so natural, and his emotional scenes genuinely hit hard. There’s a quiet intensity in the way he acts that pulls you in without trying too hard. Especially that trauma scene… it was raw and heartbreaking, I actually felt it. He keeps proving he’s not just visuals, but real acting talent too!

Chooozi May 17 2026 7:49 am Happy for those who enjoyed it; it was pretty funny at times...overall, it was kinda bland, but still a decent show; I also got a bit annoyed with the characters not respecting personal boundaries but that's how the show gotta go to form bonds (but still) and that is how their characters roll.

Park Eun-Bini's role as Eun Chae-Ni was pretty interesting gotta say. It felt inauthentic initially as she acted at times, and then her character grew on me, but overall, not my favourite role she has played though still (I especially liked her role in The Witch: Part 2. The Other One)

Cha Eun-Woo feels like his character has not changed much as other roles he has played, but still great to see him play his character regardless.

So nice to see Kim Hae-Sook in a new series; she is always amazing as a maternal figure.

Enjoyed the rest of the cast and congratz to you all!

Kai May 17 2026 6:09 am It is good Brainrot drama, it is kinda frustrating about how stupid it is but it is really funny.

Nicole May 17 2026 5:17 am I just finished watching it. It is so goooooood. I've been waiting for this since then. I wanted to see Park Eun Bin with a comedic role and Cha Eun Woo's return. I thought it would be a banger, and it really is! The storyline, the actors, editing, everything is on point and beautiful. I think I grew abs from laughing too much here. It's both touching and funny; I cried and laughed a lot. They have so much chemistry, especially Eun Bin and Eun Woo; they're so cute. It somewhat left us hanging in the end, though. I hope there's a second season. I hope this drama will win many awards. I LOVE IT!!!!

Aozora May 16 2026 11:31 pm This is a good entertainment, mainly due to Park Eun-Bin's acting. She is very good, especially when she acted dead. It was scary, yet hillarious. Amazing scene. Not sure how the other two casts could focus to do the scene without laughing.

Also, it is good because they have an eight episode format. These days, the standard six teen is a bit too long.

Lee je ah May 16 2026 11:20 am Cha eun woo and park eun din acting 1000000000/1000000000 I love this drama hope to see more and more of chaeunwo and park eunbin action thriller sci-fi horror anything will work All the other actors did well ? no complaints

Sachachocho May 16 2026 11:10 am This was the best funny and superhero kdrama of 2026 .. like it's funny..scary...lovely and cute ..it has everything you want ...I loved Cha Eun woo here a lot he is acting was superbe and I loved his character even though I hated him for a moment hhh .. I also liked park Eun bin character funny dumb and full of life ... Every character had his own influence on the drama ..I gave it 10000%

Fahreza May 16 2026 6:39 am Refreshing Genre nice moves cha eun woo and eun bin is fun to watch!

Wonder May 16 2026 5:45 am Why are there 2 of Chae Ni in the poster...any significance? I say this has the X-Men mutant feel. Seems like Churches are popular for rogues to operate behind.

beatchplsz May 15 2026 9:33 pm It's a drama that gave me a lot but didn't feel forced at all. The mix of comedy, action, and romance was just perfect. Eunbin is always amazing and I've always been familiar with Cha Eunwoo's game, and this role brought out the best in him. I need a second season ASAP!

Jin May 15 2026 8:39 pm This drama gave me everything a drama should. Wow, the comedic aspect was so on point! I love how it makes you laugh all throughout the episodes while giving us action and romance. And the emotional scenes are so heart wrenching. There's family, friendship, romance but also betrayal, guilt, frustrations and forgiveness that I felt so full after watching it but also hunger for more! This was an easy 100/100.

BG May 15 2026 4:40 pm Wow this has everything, action, comedy, friendship, drama, mystery, romance....it was so fun to watch, need a season 2!

Mariam May 15 2026 4:19 pm The drama is so amazing. Lee Unjeong was truly a character written for Cha Eunwoo. He completely brought the character to life. His action scenes, comedic moments, dramatic scenes, suffering, pain, and romance all felt so natural and real. His performance was genuine and full of emotion. I need to see Lee Unjeong again. Thank you to the talented actor Cha Eunwoo for bringing this character to life so perfectly.

Cat May 15 2026 4:17 pm I love it! The WONDERFools is so worth the wait! Amazing cast! Superheroes, villains, and supporting cast delivered exceptionally well. The chemistry of superheroes Park Eunbin, Cha Eun-Woo, ChoiDaehoon, and ImSeongjae is so on point. Hats off to director Yoo In-sik! Even the music/songs like "Creep" intro, sounds, and art design fit well. Love that all eight episodes hit Netflix in one go, so I can binge-watch it. I laughed, cried, and got surprised! Enjoyed every episode! Just like Park Eunbin, brilliant actor Cha Eun-Woo is quite impressive. His subtle, nuanced, expressive eye, voice, body, and face acting resonate well with me. Comedy, action, and drama, he delivered exceptionally well. So in awe of his excellent acting skills. As with his previous projects, he's able to fully embody his character. Superhero Cha Eun-Woo is so cool and funny ??? No wonder ‘The WONDERfools’ is the No.1 most anticipated K-drama of 2026. Highly recommend it!.. and yes, I'm hoping for a sequel if they can create another good storyline.

charaphiel May 15 2026 4:07 pm The entire cast is amazing, but Cha Eun-woo is so perfect for The Wonderfools . This is the kind of role that proves how versatile Cha Eun-woo really is. He’s so good at balancing the action, mystery, comedy, and soft emotional scenes without making anything feel forced. His eye acting alone says so much. Every scene he’s in becomes more exciting, emotional, or fun to watch. The Wonderfools feels like the perfect drama for him. This drama seriously deserves a Season 2 already!

Mai May 15 2026 3:46 pm Perfect cast, perfect acting and perfect carisma. Cha Eunwoo, chef kiss!

Joseph theVagabond May 06 2026 5:44 pm Wow! Park Eun-bin with superpowers... Teleportation? Wonderful!!!

Can't wait to watch this... WONDERfools!

Happy98 Jan 30 2026 12:25 pm So this will be postponed? Or canceled? Poor the artists and staffs, one scandal ruined the whole show.

Chozi Jan 26 2026 12:42 pm hahahaha, I absolutely can't wait for this series!! I really love the casting; I also wanna give a warm welcome to Choi Dae-Hoon for being part of the good guys for a change (I hope) xD - such an awesome actor too!

Sachachocho Jan 21 2026 11:31 am I can't wait for this kdrama and I hope it's really comedy hhhh Im traumatized from Cha Eun woo 's plot twist hhhh I'm so excited and I can't wait for it..I hope it's a 16 episode drama
