Many viewers and reviewers praised Cha Eun-Woo's acting in the Korean drama "Wonderful World," and I agree.
Cha Eun-Woo bravely stepped out of the role of the sweet, sweet guy. He hasn't completely transformed into an annoying villain, though. Cha Eun-Woo plays a dark figure who seeks revenge and then regrets it.
Besides Cha Eun-Woo, I watched the Korean drama "Wonderful World" because I really miss Kim Nam-Joo's acting. I've been following her since playing Kyeong-rin Song in the Korean drama "Model" (1997), and she seems selective, as she rarely takes on drama/film roles, yet has a ton of awards under her belt. One of them, as Go Hye-Ran in the Korean drama Misty (2018), won the 2018 (54th) BaekSang Arts Awards.
The tandem of the 53-year-old actress, Cha Eun-Woo (27), and Kim Kang-Woo as Kang Soo-Ho, coupled with a compelling storyline, managed to garner double-digit ratings of 11.4% in episodes 9 and 13, although it dropped to just 9.2% in the final episode.
What's the reason?
Perhaps there are many "too good to be true" coincidences in this drama.
Like when Kwon Seon-Yul (Cha Eun-Woo) managed to photograph Kang Soo-Ho's affair with his wife's adopted sister. Even though they only had one affair, it was a coincidence that they managed to capture it. The window happened to be open. And the couple happened to be having sex while standing, making the shot clearly visible.
The story would be different if the affair were more casual, like in a closed room and lying down. But then the conflict wouldn't be as exciting, right? 😀😀
But otherwise, it's great. It's like the audience is given a puzzle that, when put together, creates several complete stories. Each story is connected by a common thread called "love." Love between adopted siblings. Love between husband and wife, and of course, between a mother and her child.
Love that can destroy injustice.
So, if you want to witness the beauty of love (and shed some tears), the Korean drama Wonderful World is highly recommended.
