The new Netflix series 'The Wonderfools' features a luxurious cast including Park Eun-bin, ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo, Kim Hae-sook, Choi Deok-hoon, Im Sung-jae, and Song Hyun-joo. 'The Wonderfools' is a comedic action adventure where, in 1999 when apocalyptic theories were spreading, the seemingly composed yet somewhat absent-minded townspeople accidentally gain superpowers and fight against villains threatening the peace of Hae-song City. Park Eun-bin, known for unforgettable characters in dramas like 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', 'Diva on the Deserted Island', 'Lovers of the Red Sky', and 'Stove League', plays the unpredictable Eun Che-ni, promising adorable comedic performances and showcasing an image transformation never seen before. Che-ni, living in 1999, becomes embroiled in unexpected events and accidentally gains superpowers, aiming to deliver laughter and empathy. Cha Eun-woo, who has steadily increased his presence through diverse works like 'Wonderful World', 'Island', 'True Beauty', and 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty', plays the role of Lee Eun-jung, a public servant in Hae-song City who is a bit lacking in social skills. Eun-jung is a mysterious character who, while being principled at the city hall, begins to investigate a series of disappearances occurring in Hae-song City. Kim Hae-sook, who has built trust in her works through various hits like 'Thirst', 'The Thieves', 'Assassination', and the recently released Netflix series 'Gyeongseong Creature', plays Che-ni's grandmother and only family member, Kim Jong-bok. Jong-bok is the owner of a well-known restaurant in Hae-song City, possessing a glamorous yet dark past that piques curiosity. Additionally, Choi Deok-hoon, who has showcased stable acting in Netflix films like 'War and Chaos', dramas like 'Monster', 'The Charm of Love', and 'The Good Detective 2', plays Song Kyung-hoon, the 'official chinsang' (a new term referring to a person with a bad personality who causes stress to others) of Hae-song City. Im Sung-jae, who has displayed his unique charm in Netflix series 'Hellbound' Season 2, dramas like 'The Worst Evil', and films like 'Target: The Killer is a Murderer', plays Kang Robin, the 'official hogu' (a gullible person) of Hae-song City. Kyung-hoon and Robin, who accidentally gain superpowers while getting involved in incidents with Che-ni, despite their flawed abilities, ultimately confront the villains alongside Che-ni. Especially, the combination of Kyung-hoon and Robin is expected to create a comedic synergy while leading the story with Che-ni and Eun-jung. Song Hyun-joo, who has showcased heavy acting in films like 'Hansan: Rising Dragon', 'Spring Day', and dramas like 'The Good Detective 2' and 'Your Honor', plays Ha Do-won. Do-won is a character with dark desires hidden behind a cold and rational facade, expected to heighten the tension of the story. 'The Wonderfools' is directed by Yoo In-sik, who has created beloved works and characters through 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' and 'Romantic Doctor Kim Sa-bu', promising to showcase the essence of comedy. Furthermore, the script is penned by Heo Da-jun, who adapted 'Extreme Job', aiming to deliver rich laughter once again. Additionally, Kang Eun-kyung, the creator behind 'Gyeongseong Creature' and 'Romantic Doctor Kim Sa-bu' series, is expected to bring forth a Netflix-style comedic action adventure with superpowers that has never been seen before. With confirmed production and an intriguing lineup of captivating characters, 'The Wonderfools' is set to be exclusively released on Netflix.
