Directed by Yi Seungyoung (“Tracer,” “Voice 2”) and written by Kim Jieun (“Lie After Lie,” “Cheongdam-dong Scandal”), “Wonderful World” tells the story of Eun Soohyun who will go to extraordinary lengths to exact revenge for the death of her son.
After a successful career that saw Eun Soohyun climb to the top of her field as a professor of psychology and a household name as a writer, she is brought crashing back to earth following the death of her son at the hands of others. Driven into a spiraling depression, Soohyun becomes consumed by one thought – revenge.
“Wonderful World” also stars Kim Kang-woo and Im Se-mi.
This is Kim Nam-joo’s comeback drama in six years after starring in “Misty” in 2018.
For Cha Eun-woo, “Wonderful World” is his second consecutive MBC drama after last year’s “A Good Day to be a Dog.”
Cha Eun-woo and Im Se-mi are reunited in “Wonderful World” after working together in the 2020 drama “True Beauty.”
