The WONDERfools

Better than you'd think!

This show was pretty funny and was really enjoyable. I don't usually like superhero shows, but this one was pretty good. I only watched it because Eunwoo was in it to be honest or I never would've checked it out. He looked so fine in this show. I think the comedy really helped with this show. I'm glad it all came out at once and not weekly because I don't think it would've done well coming out one episode at a time. The characters were all pretty interesting. I loved Un Jeong, Chae Ni, and some of the villain characters as well. Some of the powers were pretty cool too. Strength and the sticky power were pretty lame I can't lie and Gyeong Un annoyed me. I saw there was an after credits scene so maybe we'll get a season two which I wouldn't mind. Overall, the show was better than I thought it would!

Wowowowow! The right amount of comedy, drama and action sequences, I was definitely not bored, I basically watched it in 2 sittings. Eunbin is delightful as always, it was so fun to watch her in a role similar to her hello my twenties phase- her range never ceases to amaze me! Also Eunwoo was fantastic in this, I was a bit worried about him paired with a power house like Eunbin, but they complimented each other so well and their chemistry was amazing! The whole ensemble did a great job, and I was really invested in all the wunderkids storylines. I also think they have set themselves up tremendously for a season 2, god i hope they give it to us! I would love to see the main 3 more confident in their powers and more development of their backstories...

Funny, entertaining yet didn't make sense sometimes...

this drama was quite funny and entertaining yet didn't make sense sometimes and alot of things felt rushed.

so first of all chae ni 's heart condition at first like she was dying and had symptoms of heart faliure so doesn't that contradicts what we get to know later that she had healing abilities because of that heart so why wasn't she healing at first ? and I was also confused her grandma agreed to the heart transplant surgery didn't chae ni had a heart condition in the first place they didn't show us so I am a bit confused

Ha won do was quite a rushed written charater for me like at first he says he wants her heart to cure others yet he was doing it for that chairman but what for like was that man funding the whole experimentations or was he threatening him to put him back in jail ? they didn't show us a motive so that is another villain to forget.

that's been said the drama definitely had its moments : funny, emotional and action packed ones , it deserves to give it a go.

super power !

This drama is such a fun and creative watch! It may not be the most original concept in K-drama land, but it still manages to be entertaining and enjoyable. The comedy keeps things lighthearted, and I appreciate that it doesn’t lean too heavily into emotional moments.

What I find most interesting is the contrast between the characters’ superpowers and their very human weaknesses. They may possess extraordinary abilities, but what they truly lack is something much simpler: love, affection, and genuine human connection. Beneath all those powers, they’re still people who need to be loved and cared for.

Overall, it’s a charming, funny, and easy-to-watch drama that balances fantasy and comedy with a sweet little reminder that even the most extraordinary people can feel powerless without love.

cooking while burning the kitchen down

i genuinely have mixed feelings on this drama. it was a good show, im not going to lie however, as the story went on, the execution just kept frustrating me lol. 운정 was probably the most interesting character by far. not because he’s just played by 차은우, but rather because of how much fun the writers decided to apparently have with his character. i understood why he betrayed 채니. he wanted to find his mother, learn about his past, and most importantly, survive. he was dying too, and i don’t think his decision makes him a bad person. however, one of my biggest irks was the constant disregard for physical urgency in his side effects. 운정 could constantly go into a million different fights with his powers, get a crazy bloody nose and faint, but face no lasting consequences from those side effects. if the side effects were supposed to be killing him, i needed the show to establish some consistency here lol. they didn’t feel as progressive and severe as the other wunderkinder. it almost just felt like the side effects were a convenience whenever the writers knew they needed someone dead, like 팔호 or 주란. another irk was the motivations of 하원도. i understood the original idea of him wanting to save the children he’d experimented on, but by the end, i felt his motives had shifted without much development. was he trying to save his children, or was everything ultimately about obtaining immortality for a “new world” and recreating the child of eternity? i never understood it. why give a very emotional background that backs up the first impression and completely disregard it towards the end to get a bigger “climax”? i can accept an antagonist with selfish, contradictory motives, but i need the writing to connect those motives properly. i’m also glad he died, for that small moment if you know what i mean Read More

a quirky, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt

The OST deserves special mention. It’s eclectic, blending retro beats with soaring ballads that perfectly capture the late-90s vibe. Tracks shift seamlessly between playful and poignant, amplifying both the comedic timing and the emotional resonance. The music often feels like another character, guiding viewers through tonal shifts and grounding the story’s eccentric energy.

Ultimately, The Wonderfools is messy, vibrant, and deeply human. It’s less about polished heroics and more about flawed people fumbling toward connection and purpose. For viewers tired of formulaic superhero narratives, this series offers something refreshingly different: a chaotic ride underscored by an unforgettable soundtrack.If you’re tired of formulaic superhero shows, The Wonderfools offers something refreshingly different. It’s messy but deliberately so, leaning into absurdity while still delivering emotional resonance. Worth watching if you enjoy character-driven chaos with heart.

Fun binge watch

Hilarious! 😂🤌 This is indeed what it said it was. A comedy drama with a superhero concept.

Really liked the idea of laboratory mutation resulting in weird and grand superpowers. The pacing was good with a rather unexpected twist in between. You were kept entertained throughout. The ending pissed me out though. The kind of incomplete, let to the viewer to ponder kind. Frustrating 😤

My favourites were Kang Robin and Son Gyeonghun. They just exist to be comical. Im Seongjae and Choi Daehun did a fabulous job! Park Eunbin is really a fabulous actress. The variety of roles she pulls of and that too in such a good way, it's crazy! And this is one of those dramas you should watch if you believe Cha Eunwoo does not know to act. It shall prove you wrong. I think he did a good job. Honestly, the plot twist of him working for the organization and handing her over was quite a shock. Initially, I did think it would happen. But it was when i started thinking the opposite that it happened, catching me off guard. I seriously want to see him in an antagonist role, i swear! He would make a wonderful villain 😭 Supporting cast were also good and added to the storyline.

All together, it's a fun watch, a funny little escape!

funny but there were MANY plotholes

overall i really enjoyed this show!
it was funny and entertaining but there were SOOO many plotholes.
some examples: chae-ni can only teleport when her heart is beating rapidly but there are multiple moments where she teleports randomly, kyung-hoon only sticks when he lies but there were moments where he hadn't lied and would stick, kyung-hoon can only stick to objects himself so how did he get all those people to stick to that inflatable turnip, how did that inflatable turnip fit in that jail cell + why didn't the police get rid of the turnip before locking the prisoners in the cell, how did chae-ni not get blown into a million pieces by that airship, how did chae-ni come back from "the desert" in 3 weeks with no money/passport/food/water/anything, how is woon-jung's mother alive when it was clearly stated that she was dead + how did he find her?.. the list goes on
anyways, it was fun! chae-ni and woon-jung r such a cute couple iajgiejaig <33

Unexpectedly Enjoyable After a Rocky Start

I honestly did not intend to watch this series at first, but having a 16-hour direct flight from SF to SG made me realize that I really needed something to watch for that long journey. So I gave *The WONDERfools* a try, mostly out of necessity.

At the beginning, I have to admit that I underestimated this series. It felt messy, a little too chaotic, and I almost wanted to drop it. I also don’t usually enjoy silly characters when their behavior feels too random or unreasonable. But surprisingly, as the episodes went on, the series started getting better. The comedy, the found-family dynamic, and the imperfect superhero concept slowly grew on me. It is not the most polished drama, but it has its own charm, especially when the emotional and comedic moments actually land.

The one thing that stopped me from giving it a higher rating was Jun Mo. I really wanted to see what he could do, especially since he is supposed to be one of the special “children.” But until the end of the series, we still did not really get to see his full capability, which was kind of disappointing. Overall, it was a fun and surprisingly enjoyable watch, but I still wish the story had explored some characters and their powers more deeply.
