• Interview with actress Park Eun-bin, who plays Eun Chae-ni in the Netflix original series 'Wonderfuls'

Actress Park Eun-bin shared her thoughts on singer and actor Cha Eun-woo, with whom she shared acting chemistry in 'Wonderfuls'.

On the morning of the 22nd, an interview with actress Park Eun-bin of the Netflix original series 'Wonderfuls' was held at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

'Wonderfuls' is a superpower comic adventure set at the turn of the century in 1999, where residents of the neighborhood of Mojiri, who unexpectedly gain superpowers, struggle to protect the world from villains threatening peace. The series stars Park Eun-bin as Eun Chae-ni, along with Cha Eun-woo (as Lee Woon-jeong), Choi Tae-hoon (as Son Kyung-hoon), Im Sung-jae (as Kang Robin), Gimhae Suk, Son Hyun-joo, Bae Na-ra, Jeong Yi-seo, and Choi Yun-ji.

Park Eun-bin plays Eun Chae-ni, a 27-year-old with teleportation superpowers, who acts as one of the four superpower heroes of Haeseong City alongside Yunjeong, Kyung-hoon, and Robin.

On this day, Park Eun-bin stated, "It's been a while since the work was released, so I'm happy and feel a fresh sense of emotion. This is the first OTT work where all episodes are released at once, so I'm still not sure when to send the character. I'm wondering when to say a proper goodbye."

She continued, "Every time the work is released, I feel both gratitude and humility. I always hold onto my trembling heart while waiting for (the work's release)," she joked.

'Wonderfuls' was in a situation where the release date was uncertain due to tax evasion allegations against lead actor Cha Eun-woo. When asked about this, Park Eun-bin replied, "The honest truth is that I was so focused on filming my next project for three to four months that I had no time to worry about anything other than the work."

She added, "This was a project I started trusting director Yoo In-sik, and since I had a fun filming period, I spent my time trusting the production team and crew. After watching all the screeners, I told the director, 'Thank you for making me a hero,' expressing her gratitude to director Yoo In-sik."

Park Eun-bin creates character notes for each work. She explained, "The content is quite different each time. I approach each role differently. Since there are comic elements, I wanted to create an acting tone that comes to mind when thinking of 'Eun Chae-ni,' so I wrote down many character traits." Park Eun-bin spread out the character notes she brought to the interview venue and said, "It contains entries like 'unpredictable' and 'unreadable path.'"

She continued, "It was fun to meet a quirky character after a long time. Through meeting various works, I experienced personal growth. I believe I also received good influences from them and reached a turning point, growing well. When capacity is full, shouldn't we upgrade? I think this is work I will continue to do."

She also said, "I wanted to maintain the reputation of 'Eun Chae-ni' as a 'complete mess.' Just seeing her back or side profile evokes the image of someone who could deliver a back slap. I hoped people would understand why the granddaughter of the landlady of Haeseong City is called a 'complete mess.' I tried various styles, and (the production team) accepted them all. In that context, I also chose an asymmetrical hairstyle."

She added, "Once you feel affection for the residents of Mojiri, you will fall for 'Wonderfuls.' If you watch with a little affection, I believe you will be moved at the end and feel nostalgia for that era. Of course, the story of heroes saving the world is included, so if you want to enjoy a complex genre, I hope you will watch with patience."
