first cha eun woo drama, so why was everyone hating on his acting?
The WonderFOOLs depicts a group of three misfits (with the addition of Lee Unjeong), who gain mysterious powers and thus, try it use it for good.
The story itself is honestly really simple and understandable and I reckon that is what adds to its overall enjoyability. There is no need to break your back understanding unnecessary levels of lore for this 8 episode drama. It is a concept done so many times, but the only difference is whose playing it (with regards to the characters, not the actors).
Acting was immaculate. Park Eun Bin, as usual, serves a rather difficult character excellently. Her character is rough, uncut and rather boisterous which I personally think is a difficult character to play, especially doing it right. In turn, Chaeni feels real and at times, relatable. She might be my favourite female lead of all time.
Im Sung Jae and Choi Dae Hoon both serve a rather hilarious characters. I don't think I even expected less, especially from Choi Dae Hoon. What a funny character honestly, just spectacular.
Now Cha Eun Woo, notorious for his "unrealistic" acting. Before this drama, I'd never seen a Cha Eun Woo drama. A lot of people held the same reservations towards his acting, saying that his acting is stiff and unrealistic, so coming into this... I had my expectations set high. I wanted to see him prove these notions wrong. And he did just that. I can confidently say I am pleased (without having seen any of his dramas btw) with Cha Eun Woo's acting. Emotional scenes were played meticulously, whilst humorous scenes actually made me laugh! His character is funny, sexy and attractive and I hate to say this, but he is disgustingly handsome.
Beginning the drama with Radiohead's Creep is a choice, a choice for me. Of course I'm going to watch a drama that has a song from a niche band like Radiohead! Anyway, music was great, it was the standard. The music painted serious scenes with the much needed significance they needed, whereas goofy scenes had goofy music!
In all, this drama is solid. Absolutely solid.
If you need to laugh? Watch Wonderfools. If you to watch fragile and pure familial relationships? Watch Wonderfools. If you want to see Cha Eunwoo act then I guess you should watch Wonderfools.
