Set to premiere March 1st this year, the show has been highly buzzed due to its star-studded cast and revenge premise.
In the forthcoming emotional thriller Wonderful World, viewers will be taken on a gripping journey through the tumultuous life of Eun Soo-hyun, expertly portrayed by Kim Nam-joo, a distinguished psychology professor and accomplished writer. Haunted by the devastating loss of her son at the hands of a vicious murderer, Hyun's quest for justice is thwarted by a legal system that fails to deliver the retribution she seeks. Fueled by grief and determination, she embarks on a relentless pursuit to right the wrongs herself.
Enter Cha Eun-woo, of ASTRO fame, stepping into the role of Kwon Sun-yool, a character whose life takes a stark turn after abandoning his medical studies.

Their unexpected convergence sets the stage for a dynamic interplay of personalities and circumstances.
For Kim Nam-joo, Wonderful World heralds a triumphant return to television screens after a hiatus of six years since her last acclaimed drama, Misty.
