Unexpectedly good, can’t wait to rewatch
I honestly started True Beauty just to pass time and didn’t expect to like it this much. It looks like a fluffy high school romcom at first but then it slowly talks about real topics like insecurity, bullying, loneliness and feeling like you’re never enough as you are. And it does all that without killing the fun. It still feels fun, silly and romanticJukyung is such an easy character to relate to. Her fear, awkwardness, overthinking it all feels very real. And Cha Eunwoo as Suho… I was surprised by how quiet and emotional his performance is. He doesn’t overdo anything, but you feel his grief, the guilt, the way he cares but doesn’t know how to show it. It’s very soft, very human. Seojun completely wrecked me too, because you can feel how genuine his love is even when you know how things will probably end.
The show made me laugh out loud in some scenes and then suddenly hit me with emotions when I least expected it. The pacing is great, the chemistry feels natural and the ost stays with you. It’s not a perfect drama and it doesn’t try to be deep in a heavy way but it feels sincere and warm

A pandora's box
Diving into "Wonderful World" has been an absolute rollercoaster, and I'm here for every twist and turn. The drama, centering around Soohyun and Seonyul and his intricate ties with the other characters, is a masterpiece of emotional depth and complex storytelling. The dynamic between Cha Eunwoo and Kim Namjoo is electric, their shared screen time hinting at a relationship far more complicated than mere revenge. The possibility of a common enemy rather than a direct confrontation adds a delicious layer of intrigue.What sets "Wonderful World" apart is its ability to balance the human condition with the elements of revenge drama. The show doesn't shy away from exploring the darker facets of human nature, yet it manages to inject moments of light and hope, primarily through its complex characters and their intertwined destinies.
I can't wait for the next episodes!

A great romcom with perfect casting
I've been counting the days for this drama to be released! Ever since I read the webtoon, I was hooked and have been on the hunt for a romcom that would capture that same magic. When I heard about this adaptation, I had a strong feeling it was going to be a hit. And I was right! Every scene is packed with those swoon-worthy moments that give you all the feels, and there's this constant bubbly energy that keeps you smiling from ear to ear. The dynamic between Haena's playful quirks and Seowon's laid-back attitude is just the combo we needed. I know there were some whispers about Cha Eunwoo diving into yet another tsundere character, but Seowon breaks that mold. He's not the typical cold guy; Eunwoo has portrayed him with a gentle shyness that's simply endearing. The anticipation for the next episode is real!Was this review helpful to you?
