*** It's a striking transformation for Cha Eun Woo for his role as 'Kwon Seon Yul'. in "Wonderful World".   Departing from his usual polished appearance, Cha Eun Woo immerses himself in the gritty persona of Kwon Seon Yul. As I watched the trailer I can say his acting looks great.

Cha Eun Woo Is A Junkyard Worker And A Politician’s Minion In “Wonderful World”

 

MBC’s “Wonderful World” has shared new stills of ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo!

 

“Wonderful World” is an emotional thriller about Eun Soo Hyun (Kim Nam Joo), a woman who seeks revenge after the tragic loss of her son. When the culprit manages to evade punishment through the legal system, she decides to pursue justice on her own.

 

Cha Eun Woo will star as Kwon Sun Yool, who leads a rough life after dropping out of medical school until he unexpectedly becomes entangled with Eun Soo Hyun. Kwon Sun Yool will add tension and suspense to the drama as he leads a double life: on the surface, he is a worker at a junkyard, but he is also a subordinate of Kim Joon (Park Hyuk Kwon), a politician who will do anything for power. Viewers will have to wait to find out what happened in Kwon Sun Yool’s past and what secrets he is hiding.

 

The newly released stills capture Kwon Sun Yool with a secretive aura. In one photo, Kwon Sun Yool meets a mysterious woman under a bridge and gives her something, all the while discreetly observing her with his hat pulled down. In another, Sun Yool is seen holding an envelope in his hands. From the composed yet guarded demeanor of Kwon Sun Yool, who is wary of his surroundings, it appears that such secret meetings are part of his routine.

 

Cha Eun Woo’s upcoming transformation into Kwon Sun Yool will mark a stark contrast to his usual, more gentle roles. Expectations are high for his first rough and dark character, particularly because Kwon Sun Yool, who is Park Hyuk Kwon’s minion, will have several action scenes.

 

 

“Wonderful World” will premiere on March 1 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Check out a teaser for the drama here!

But how much melo will we get? And how much thriller? Will this be a similar setup to The Glory, or will we have more of an inner journey a la Trolley on our plates? We’ll have to tune in to find out.

Kim Nam-joo, Cha Eun-woo unite in new TV series 'Wonderful World'

 

 

 

By Pyo Kyung-min

 

Veteran actress Kim Nam-joo and singer-actor Cha Eun-woo have joined forces in "Wonderful World" to present a dark narrative filled with unexpected twists.

 

The latest MBC series unfolds as a mystery drama where Eun Soo-hyun (Kim), a mother driven by a quest for personal vengeance for the murder of her son, unravels intricate secrets behind this tragedy. Alongside her journey, Eun encounters Kwon Seon-yul (Cha), a mysterious character harboring similar scars of familial loss.

 

On Thursday, Kim and Cha shared their experience working together during a press event at MBC's Golden Mouth Hall in Mapo District, western Seoul.

Initially hesitant about teaming up with Kim, who boasts an impressive 30-year career, heartthrob Cha expressed how their chemistry evolved positively over time.

 

"I believe our chemistry is a perfect 100," Cha said. "At first, Kim seemed a bit reserved during our initial script reading, but as we worked together, our personalities just clicked. Kim was proactive, sharing her acting insights and offering valuable advice, which made our collaboration a real pleasure."

 

Visibly elated by the compliment, Kim echoed the sentiment, rating their synergy even higher at "110 points."

 

"I found working with Cha to be truly fascinating and humbling," Kim remarked. "At first, the thought of matching with Cha was quite daunting. He exudes this princely charm, almost like he's from another planet. But as we collaborated, I started to see him as an endearing younger brother. It's his warmth of personality and the open-mindedness he brings to his acting that really won me over."

In contrast to their delightful collaboration, "Wonderful World" carries a rather somber tone, portraying the characters' descent into darkness as they uncover the truth behind their tragedies.

 

Returning to the screen after a six-year hiatus, Kim revealed that her portrayal of Eun was motivated by "maternal love." Married to actor Kim Seung-woo since 2005, she is a proud mother of two.

 

"The main reason I took on the role of Eun is 'maternal love' ... As a mother of two, I believed I could authentically portray the emotions of all mothers. While the tragedy depicted in the series is something I would hate to even imagine, the opportunity to embody a mother's heart was deeply compelling," Kim explained.

 

Cha embodies a tragic character engulfed in mystery, departing from his previous romantic lead roles in "True Beauty" (2020) and "A Good Day to Be a Dog" (2023).

 

"He comes from a wealthy family but opts for a rough life after a certain incident. There are many tangled secrets behind my character Kwon," Cha elaborated. "As each episode unfolds, Eun's secrets are revealed one by one, like Pandora's box."

 

The singer-actor emphasized his meticulous attention to detail — from styling and physical fitness — to reflect his character's tumultuous life.

 

"I aimed to convey a sense of disorder in clothing and style. I also dedicated considerable effort to my fitness regimen. My objective was to externalize the hardships and challenges Kwon faces," Cha expressed.

 

Spoiler

 

Directed by Lee Seung-young, known for his immersive storytelling in dramas including the "Tracer" series (2022) and the second season of "Voice" (2018), "Wonderful World" invites viewers to discover beauty amidst its darker narrative.

 

"Just as the stars shine brighter against the backdrop of the night sky, you'll sense that amidst the darkness, a gathering of talented actors has produced a remarkable work of art," director Lee noted during Thursday's event.

 

"The choice of the title 'Wonderful World,' despite the underlying tragedy, reflects this sentiment. Instead of dwelling solely on the tragedy, I hope audiences perceive it as a beautiful drama."

 

"Wonderful World" airs every Friday and Saturday.
