Fun, Goofy, X-Men vibes

The show was so fun! Had lots of laughs from the comedy bits and so much joy in the found family aspects. The show picks up after the first episode, and is a fun, funny, and action packed ride the whole time. Loved the Y2K aesthetic; the prodution design is great. The special effects are a stunning mix of both practical effects and CGI, and they look amazing in every scene. And the "Cha Eun Woo can't act" allegations are completely untrue, especially in this series, he is stellar.

There are some pacing issues in very beginning and in the middle, along with a few abrupt tonal shifts. Some of the aspects of the plot are not fleshed out enough, barely explained, or flat out ignored by the end. The ending was also a bit too rushed and convoluted.

But overall this show was so fun and sweet and unexpected. In a world where both superhero media and Korean dramas have become repetitive and stale, Wonderfools stands out.
