• Amidst the fallout from Cha Eun-woo's tax evasion controversy... Can it overcome the risk?

'Wonderfuls' has hinted at the birth of a unique hero story with the unpredictable antics of clumsy superhumans.

Set in the turn-of-the-century year 1999, 'Wonderfuls,' a superhuman comic adventure in which residents of a neighborhood named Mojiri, who accidentally gain superpowers, struggle to protect the world from villains threatening peace, has revealed key viewing points ahead of its release on the 15th.

The first viewing point is the complex genre appeal unique to 'Wonderfuls,' a story about a group of slightly imperfect bumbling individuals coming together to save the world. By depicting the tumultuous events that unfold as these imperfect individuals gain superpowers, the series promises not only unpredictable entertainment but also cheerful laughter and warm empathy. As director Yoo In-sik stated, "I wanted to create a story that leaves a pleasant aftertaste after enjoying action and comedy," he confidently asserted that the series combines all kinds of genre pleasures, from the audiovisual thrill and spectacle offered by the superhuman theme to the emotional impact of human drama.

Adding to this, director Yoo In-sik and the production team, who have previously showcased charming characters and original stories through works such as 'Romantic Doctor Kim' and 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' have come together once again, raising further expectations.

The second viewing point is the diverse relationships portrayed by the distinctive characters. Park Eun-bin, Cha Eun-woo, Choi Tae-hoon, and Im Sung-jae, who have been loved by the public for their unique characters across various works regardless of genre, will deliver performances as the four members of Hae-seong-si, each gaining different superpowers: teleportation, telekinesis, super strength, and immense physical power. They are expected to showcase unpredictable teamwork and fantastic chemistry.

In addition, the substantial presence of Gimhae-sook and Son Hyun-joo anchors the center of the story, while Jeong Yi-seo, Choi Yoon-ji, and Bae Na-ra, as the 'Bunderkinders' trio, inject both tension and fresh energy into the plot. The rich chemistry found in various relationships is a point not to be missed, ranging from the cheerful teamwork of the four members of Hae-seong-si that never stops laughing, to the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter where one can feel familial love, the relationship between Dr. 'Ha-won-do' (played by Son Hyun-joo), who is stained by blind faith, and the 'Bunderkinders,' and the relationship between the 'Bunderkinders' siblings.

The final viewing point is a well-made production that captures the turn-of-the-century sensibility in an entertaining way through its art, music, VFX, and cinematography, captivating both the eyes and ears. The art, which realistically recreates the scenery of the late 1990s when apocalypticism was rampant, allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in the world of 'Wonderfuls.' From props such as the CD player and radio placed in the room of 'Chani' (played by Park Eun-bin) to the graffiti murals along the streets of Hae-seong-si, the sensibility of that era is fully captured, completing the unique visual style of 'Wonderfuls.' Additionally, the charm of the hero genre is maximized through sound design that enhances immersion, from the cute sound effects of superhuman scenes to the majestic music that flows as events unfold. Furthermore, as the story revolves around characters using superpowers, VFX and special effects are perfectly implemented to achieve visual pleasure and high production quality.

However, ahead of the release, a controversy over Cha Eun-woo's tax evasion has emerged, bringing the work itself under scrutiny. In response, director Yoo In-sik stated, "I learned about the news regarding Cha Eun-woo through an article while editing and post-production were almost complete." He added, "This project has been my long-held dream, and the entire production team put in great effort into this work, even for scenes lasting just one or two seconds. Editing and post-production were carried out with the overall completion of the drama as the top priority."

Meanwhile, 'Wonderfuls' will be released exclusively on Netflix on the 15th.
