Wonderful World

This is a powerful emotionally involving tragedy drama about a little boy being killed in an accident. Revenge and justice follow in this spell binding tale. The writing and dialog are realistic so it never feels makjang. The story is plausible and believable and that makes it moving. The main characters are both wrong and right good and not so good. Lots of tears and angst do be prepared. Forgiveness revenge betray are explored in an intelligent manner. The ending is complete and satisfying enough for this kind of tragedy drama. The musical score is suitable quite operatic and grand at times. The direction is clear and classy and the cinematography is top quality. The acting and cast are very good. Kim Nam Joo plays the grieving mother without overacting so she is effective. Kim Kang Woo is good at playing the slightly flawed husband who hides something. Cha Eun Woo shakes off his glamorous rom com idol persona quite well to play the troubled and complex victim and avenger although the blue collar parts are a little like a fake photoshoot.

I wasn't bored with the 14 episodes because it was that good. Best non comical non romance serious drama in a long time.

Kim Nam-Ju is unforgettable due to her mesmerizing play in Misty. I had very high expectations for this drama, and up to this point they were 100% fulfilled. Very loaded emotionally (the beautiful music contributes a lot to creating an atmosphere that engulfs you), with a perfectly build tension, this drama captivates the viewers from the very beginning. Kim Nam-Ju and Oh Man-seok, together with the entire cast, play at the highest possible level. It's difficult to be dissapointed, even if you are not that much into heavy dramas, but more into action or romantic comedies. I recommend it warmly, and if you like it you may want to try Misty if you haven't watched it.

The story that this drama develops is heartbreaking to a certain point. The actors played their characters so well, that you feel empathy for their emotions. Sometimes dramas are good but they don't know how to give closure; however, here, the closure was perfect. They both found forgiveness, redemption, worked together and gave themselves the opportunity to heal as they could. I loved that Eunwoo had the space to develop in a drama that is not a romantic comedy, I think he has had exponential growth in this drama, we know that it is the character with which he identifies the most. The female protagonist was perfect in her role. I highly recommend watching it!

This drama is told in a way that's emotionally captivating with a mixture of mystery and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat so it pretty much gives off Melo mystery vibes.

The story pacing is slow but not too slow as in paced well enough to keep you connected to it and I love how it is told in a way that captures your heart and emotions but also messes with your brain especially when it comes to figuring out the mysteries surrounding the characters.

The acting is with no doubt good...the female lead ( Kim Namjoo) is one of the veteran actresses and it shows its self in this drama by how she lets us feel all of her emotions on screen, Cha Eun woo is also doing great to be honest..I love how he uses his body language and eye and facial expressions to portray his emotions in a way that's subtle yet impactful..the rest of the cast is doing well as well...I love the characterisation and how these characters all appear to have a mysterious factor tied to them which keeps me immersely intrigued.

The osts, cinematography and direction is detailed I just love how the emotions of the characters are reflected through the colouring and cinematography...

And finally the ending that wholesome and satisfying after the roller coaster of emotions we went through I love how it was slow but steady and most of everything was wrapped up leaving no room for unanswered questions...it was WHOLESOME and healing.

In conclusion this drama is the kind of drama that lives you with a lingering feeling, it's unforgettable and it touches the heart, it's written brilliantly, and acted out in a way that's realistic thanks to the cast in addition to the amazing characterisation in a way that the characters were made realistic and morally grey which added to their complexity and depth and gave them personality....the show continues to be well detailed with amazing direction.. beautiful osts that reflect the story and amazing cinematography....all in all its a FULL PACKAGE!

Do I recommend?

ABSOLUTELY if you are in need of an Melo drama with a hint of mystery and suspense with amazing acting and interesting characters then wonderful world is that show.

IT DESERVES MORE HYPE!

Korean Drama '' Wonderful World '' is a melodrama-thriller.

The drama has quite a tragic story and it easily gets emotional and bittersweet when it deals with those matters. With an intense start, the drama slowly unfolds into a political thriller, with the main couple (not a romantic one though, fortunately!!!) having lots of chemistry and enhancing the intensity of the story.

Also, the performances were all great by every actor and actress of the cast. The characters were interesting as well and had depth. In addition, the family drama had many layers.

Finally, the ending was nicely handled, though the final episodes seemed like they were losing momentum.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
