MBC’s upcoming drama “Wonderful World” has dropped new stills featuring Cha Eun Woo and Kim Nam Joo!

“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. ASTRO’s 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.

The newly released stills capture Eun Soo Hyun and Kwon Sun Yool facing each other in a corner of the junkyard where Sun Yool works. While Sun Yool’s clothes and face are covered in dark oily stains as if he had been working just a moment ago, Eun Soo Hyun is dressed in a neat suit without a single stain, creating contrast between the two who seem to be living in different worlds.

Cha Eun Woo Leads A Rough Double Life In “Wonderful World”

 

MBC’s “Wonderful World” has unveiled more stills of Cha Eun Woo’s transformation!

 

“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. ASTRO’s 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 is a character who hits rock bottom following the loss of his family after getting swept up in crime. On the surface, Kwon Sun Yool works at a junkyard, but he’s actually living a furtive double life as the subordinate of politician Park Hyuk Kwon (Kim Joon). Cha Eun Woo’s upcoming transformation into Kwon Sun Yool will be a stark contrast to his usual more gentle roles.

 

The newly released stills depict the fierce gaze of Kwon Sun Yool. The photos portray his various rugged sides such as being drenched in sweat, wearing his work uniform, and riding a motorcycle.

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.
