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.
