prepare to laugh!
First thing I have to say is: wait for episode two. That’s when things really start to get lit. I will say, I haven’t laughed like this while watching a K-drama in a long time—probably since Mr. Queen. The show is super hilarious. The characters are amazing, and the actors do a wonderful job portraying them. The leads have really great chemistry. Overall, it’s such a good show with an incredible cast.Was this review helpful to you?

AMAZING
Genuinely adored this show, it had such a compelling and interesting plot I forgot it was supposed to be a comedy, still loved the absurd and dry humour though, all the main character's are so endearing they're all unique from each other and have their own flaws and their personalities aren't shrunk down by the end like a lot of shows tend to do with similar sort of bumbling characters, the chemistry between both the romantic pairings and the friendship ones was pretty natural feeling.Although there are only really two or three main songs that play throughout the show they really fit the moments and I loved hearing Creep by Radiohead in this. I do kind of wish they dug a little bit deeper with Chae-Ni's immortality as a superpower, but at the same time I really like how they didn't overuse it.
Overall I loved this show though, would love a second season!

Not for me
To much nonsens, slapstick and CEW's acting still has room for improvement and development.Was this review helpful to you?
Whole Package
the wonderfools is the drama of full package comedy action thriller emotional and solid acting by whole cast. Mr son was so funny and man has no idea 🤣 and his best partner mr robin. the chemistry of all 4 leads chaeni unjeong mr son robin is superb. chaeni calling him choe unjeong instead of lee unjeong was so romantic to me. and that iconic beach scene it was so good playing with audience emotions. each episode is so good made us all so hooked. lee unjeong played by cha eunwoo is funny as the "straight man" who tries to keep the chaotic group in line, but he also shows deep emotion and vulnerability.another addition to his great works with island; wonderful world ; true beauty; rookie historian and migb. looking forward to his next work.
highly recommend this drama.

one of the best netflix dramas
watched episode 1 it hooked from from the start. In late 1999, as the impending arrival of the new millennium fuels widespread Y2K panic and apocalyptic doom-mongering, the fictional city of Haeseong becomes the epicenter of an unusual supernatural phenomenon. The city is home to a trio of social outcasts: Eun Chae-ni, a cynical, hot-tempered 27-year-old suffering from a severe congenital heart condition that leaves her facing sudden death; Son Kyung-hoon, a notorious public nuisance who constantly files petty civil complaints at city hall; and Kang Ro-bin, an overly timid man frequently treated as a neighborhood pushover.Desperate to travel the world before her illness claims her life, Chae-ni concocts a hare-brained scheme to stage her own kidnapping alongside Kyung-hoon and Ro-bin in order to extort ransom money from her wealthy, overprotective grandmother, Kim Jeon-bok. However, the plan goes disastrously wrong when Chae-ni suddenly suffers a fatal heart attack. The entire incident is witnessed by Lee Un-jeong, a socially awkward, rigidly rule-oriented civil servant recently transferred to Haeseong City Hall from Seoul. Known by colleagues as an oddball, Un-jeong secretly possesses powerful telekinetic abilities. Recognizing his prowess, the newly empowered trio dubs him their "master" and pressures him into training them to control their unstable gifts. Un-jeong, who reluctantly complies, harbours his own dark secrets tied to a closed orphanage that once stood on the grounds now occupied by a fanatical doomsday cult, the Church of Eternal Salvation. and the she WOKE UP THE WHOLE SCENE IS SO HILARIOUS SO GOOD AND SO WELL ACTED BY CHA EUNWOO, AND THE OTHERS.

A Journey I Didn’t Want to End
The WONDERfools was such a fun and unforgettable ride. It reminded me why I fell in love with K-dramas in the first place. It was packed with hilarious team dynamics, heartfelt moments, and exciting action. The cast's chemistry and the perfect balance of comedy and emotion made it an incredibly fun and memorable watch. I was already excited to see Park Eun-bin and Cha Eun-woo working together, but they still managed to surpass all my expectations. This drama was a wonderful journey from beginning to end.Was this review helpful to you?

I love it so far
So clever. Chả eun woo I thunk has always been a good actor and in this he is getting better. Park Eun Bin is always good and this is such a different roll for her. But I have to say she’s quite irritating at times amd works my nerves. Overacts.Park Eun Bin really plays a harlequin. And at times I really long for her to just shut TF up.
As for Choi dae hoon and Im Seong Jae, I don’t agree they are an addition. Their continual loud screaming antics aren’t remotely funny and nearly ruin the whole series.

Drama super divertido de assistir!!!??
Comecei esse drama sem muitas expectativas e me surpreendi positivamente. Super amei esse drama!!! Ele se tornou um dos meus dramas de fantasia preferidos da vida... Me divertir muito acompanhando cada episódio, foi maravilhoso do início ao fim, e o melhor é que tem de tudo um pouco: ação, comédia, mistério, uma pitadinha de romance... e os atores deram um show de atuação. Se tiver outra temporada vou assistir com certeza...e futuramente irei assistir novamente com toda certeza, pois gostei muito! 😍❤️Was this review helpful to you?

Unhinged and I Love It
The WONDERfools is the exact kind of unhinged energy I’ve been craving.Most hero shows try way too hard to be all dark and rugged, but this one is just like, "What if we gave people powers, but they were also just absolute disasters at being actual humans?" It’s petty, and I’m pretty sure the main characters have less self-control than I do on a Friday night.
If you're looking for something that doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to be weirdly endearing, this is the one.
I’ve been logging my thoughts and keeping up with the latest discussions over: https://myasianbinge.com/the-wonderfools-review/ - it’s honestly become my go-to spot to vent about these characters' questionable life choices.
If you want to join the chaos and see what everyone else is saying about the latest episodes, you should definitely check out the community there.
My sleep schedule is officially a disaster, but this show is worth it.

So Much Onion Cutting
All I could think about is how they must smell like onions all the time...But on a serious note, I started this drama with low expectations, and got proven wrong after one episode.
Starts off with drama immediately, it was very rare that i'd get bored. The cast is good, I think the main character is relatable and quirky. The male lead is scrumptous. Stupid lackey of MC also tolerable. Grandma isn't just there to create a sob story.
