Epic & Hilarious with a Great Plot. KDrama Gold!!
I knew I wanted to see it and would probably like it, but I turned it on and couldnt look away until my whole day was spent bingeing the entire series. It is hilarious!! I loved everything about this drama, no notes! I had so much fun with the plot twists, each character grew on me, so much so that I am genuinely going to miss them each. We saw huge leaps in Cha Eun-woo's acting in this drama and as always I absolutely adored Park Eun-bin's acting. She NEVER dissapoints! The redemption arc actually redeemed who needed it. I also heard this whole storyline took place in a span of 2wks - that put things way more in perspective for me! I loved it so much. It is going to become one of my favorite comfort kdramas to rewatch again and again.Was this review helpful to you?

Slow pacing, forced plot, subpar acting
The story didn't pick up until the end, which was upsetting, considering there are only a total of 8 episodes. I wouldn't have minded a slower pace if it meant strong character developments or more chemistry between characters, but that wasn't the case either. I felt nothing between the main characters to the point that I felt like they could've left out any romance in this drama. The plot itself was jumbled and felt messy. As usual, Cha Eunwoo's acting was lacking and Park Eunbin's acting was too much.Was this review helpful to you?
The Wonderfools Controversery
People are criticizing saying it's over chaotic seeing Eunbin's acting,but look at the title of the drama, named itself is The Wonderfools....u guys didn't realize they were being fool all time...cz these are the characters......&... Cha Eunwoo played non chalant before too,but on this... it's truly like he's the character for real.... He'll definitely get praise for his acting,with Eunbin's chaotic act, and his opposite acting balanced really well.... I laughed many where,I didn't except the storyline would be like this...I have watched 4 eps binge,and I can't stop really.... it's so dragging........ I'll update my review later....Was this review helpful to you?
it was rlly wonder of Fools in it ??
Wonderfools it's a refreshing K-drama that mixes mystery, comedy, and emotional moments really well. The story feels unique, and the characters had unique roles because of their natural chemistry and realistic emotions. What makes the drama stand out is how it balances fun scenes with deeper messages about friendship, struggles, and hope. The cinematography and soundtrack also add a warm vibe that keeps viewers engaged. Some episodes may feel slightly slow, but the strong performances and interesting plot twists make up for it. Overall, Wonderfools is an entertaining and heartfelt drama that feels both comforting and exciting, making it worth watching for K-drama fans who enjoy emotional yet fun storytelling.Was this review helpful to you?

A great comedy superhero drama
In park eunbin, I trust. I tuned in solely for Park Eunbin! I didn't even know the ML is CEW from the poster lol. Later i learned that this is the same director of EAW,which is one of my favorite dramas.I loved wonderfools, it made me laugh out loud. The chemistry among the 4 is amazing! I loved the duo robin and ahjussi especially, the comedy and the stunts they did were remarkable.
What a great set of actors! CEW range has been widened with this work. As an unpopular opinion, i actually really liked him in gangnam beauty! I ended up liking the lead actors acting after reading the manwha more. He's a good actor but often played it safe since most scripts wanted him to be just a flowerboy actor. Imo he still needs to be improved on certain parts but still there are scenes that had impact on me. Park eun bin once again proved how great of actress she is! Her dedication and passion are to be inspired. She is so cute here. The 4 "villains" are a great cast! I like the actress with hallucination power, she is great at micro expressions.
I feel this is quite rushed and it would be good if it has a sequel

Too good!
I was contemplating for a while whether to watch this. I’m glad I did, the first episode was a bit weird, there’s a fair bit of explaining going on and setting the stage. Though once it gets going the drama is definitely one to watch. I ended up watching it all in one go - that’s how good it is!Loved all the actors and their characters they were perfect for their roles! I’m glad they didn’t portray the superhero’s as experts instead they are completely clueless and all over the place. This made them more interesting and intriguing. For Eun-Woo I think this drama was a good career development choice. It’s so good to see Choi Dae-hoon doing different characters since watching him first in Crash landing on you, he fits every role really well.
Loved this and I’m hoping they’ll do a season 2!

The WONDERfools absolutely deserves a 10/10
The WONDERfools absolutely deserves a 10/10 from me! This drama had me laughing so hard in every episode, and the cast chemistry was amazing. It balanced comedy, heart, and emotional moments perfectly, which made it impossible to stop watching. I’ve already gone back to rewatch some of my favorite scenes because it was just that enjoyable. Honestly, I’m really hoping for a Season 2 because I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters yet. One of the funniest and most entertaining dramas I’ve watched in a long time!Was this review helpful to you?
Interesting kdrama
it’s been a while since we got any interesting Kdrama that doesn’t have the same plot, just with different characters. This was such a beautiful and enjoyable show. it’s has the needed depth and plot. You can actually see that Cha Eun Woo is actually improving with his acting skills (people should go easy on the criticism). Park Eun-bin is an excellent actress. Choi Dae-hoon and Im Seong-jae are so funny. The romance was an extra bonus but OVERALL I LOVED IT. Great casting and the COMEDY WAS TOO GOOD.Was this review helpful to you?
A delightful breezy well-balanced drama full of A-level comedy, action, thriller and sci-fi
If you're in need for a fresh short format comedy to binge watch to you engaged and amused all the way through, this is the perfect recommendation.I loved everything about this one, the story, script, characters, production, cinematography, acting and direction.
this is how you produce a short-format 8 episode drama! Keep it to the point and engaging, no moment wasted on needless side plots, while making the best use of the time for world-buildup and character backgrounds just enough to make them endearing and the story engaging. I appreciated above all that despite the story never taking itself seriously and even most of the action sequences had a strong dash of comedic elements to it, I liked how the humanitarian and emotional messages came through showing us a group of ragtags misfits who receive mainly their community's ridicule overcome their inner self-worth issues and form a strong bond.
Personally, I didn't mind the sudden tonal shifts from slapstick humor, to action, to traumatic dark scenes, to suspense scifi, it made the ride all the more crazy and bingeable . I found the romance which was not the main genre here to be cute and sweet, and the main leads conveyed a nice chemistry overall.
I loved the quirky characters, the witty dialogue, the hilarious moments, the spooky sci-fi, and above all I found all actors 'performances to have been great (even Cha Eun Woo for the most part) but shout outs go out to Park Eun Bin of course. this is one actress I will be following in the future.
Nothing has been announced, but in case there will be a sequel, I will be looking forward to it.

Good actors but unfunny dumb characters
I understand that a lot of people really enjoyed this series. It’s clear since it correctly holds an 8.5 here on MDL. But I didn’t like it at all. At the core of the problem is the fact that the main characters are extremely annoying from start to finish. They really are fools. If the story had high schoolers as the main characters, everyone would be more mature and smart. It’s a big waste of talent, since the cast is made up of good actors.The plot looked interesting and would be a good fit with less over-the-top, unfunny silliness. From the protagonist to the side characters and the villain, all the characters annoyed me. The forced romance with no chemistry at all managed to make it even less interesting by the end.

Hilarious Chaos Ruined by Frustrating Writing
Rating: 7/10(Without the female lead’s writing, it honestly could’ve been an 8.5/10 for me.)
The show started off surprisingly fun for me. Ep 1 i was just getting into it. but Ep 2 was so funny and by ep 3 my stomach genuinely started hurting from laughingThe comedy worked really well in the beginning, and the show had this chaotic energy that made it entertaining to binge.
The plot twist with Woon Jeong shocked me because I genuinely didn’t expect him to hand Chae Ni over like that. Even though he secretly helped her escape later, it still felt like a huge betrayal and such a risky move.
But as the show went on, my biggest issue became the female lead. I really hate when dramas make female leads unnecessarily dumb and treat it as comedy or “cute.” Chae Ni constantly made careless decisions, got caught repeatedly, and created problems even when she literally had teleportation powers...
The drama had so much potential, but many scenes lost their impact because of weak writing and frustrating character choices. Some action scenes that could’ve been thrilling or funny just felt awkward instead.
Juran was also frustrating because every time it seemed like she was finally realizing the truth, she went right back to blindly believing her father.
Meanwhile, Sun Kyo Hong completely stole the show for me. He was hilarious but also one of the few characters actually using his brain.
The grandmother was another standout. Easily the best characters in the drama.
The coolest scene was definitely when the male lead stopped the bullets and turned them back on the villain. That whole sequence was amazing.
The final rat scene opening the possibility of S2... honestly, I don’t think this drama needs another season, especially not with the same female lead.
Overall, The Wonderfools had a strong mix of comedy and action, but the frustrating writing choices held it back from being truly great. Still, it was entertaining enough to keep me watching.
