I keep wondering how you all manage to watch 8 episodes of WonderFools when each episode is 1h30, *and* still have time for the new episodes of Perfect Crown and My Royal Nemesis all in the same day 😭
Do you guys take the day off or something? And does the drama come out in the morning for you? Because for me, WonderFools was released around 4–5 PM. If I watch all 8 episodes straight, I’d probably finish around 2–3 AM — and that’s *with* breaks to eat, shit, shower, etc. 😂😂
So by the time I finish the K-drama, it’s already like 3–4 AM, and then I still have to watch the new episodes of Perfect Crown and My Royal Nemesis. At that point I’m basically not sleeping at all that day 😭
Well, I’ve watched 4 episodes so far. I’ll finish the rest today, but honestly this kind of drama is so bad. I’m bored 90% of the time, but I keep watching because there’s an actress I really like 😭
Chae-ni is a 27-year-old woman known as the town’s walking disaster in Haeseong. Born with a congenital heart condition and raised under the watchful care of her grandmother, she has never truly experienced the world beyond her hometown.
When she learns that her condition has become terminal, Chae-ni comes up with a plan to fake her own kidnapping in order to collect ransom money from her grandmother and finally complete her bucket-list travels.
However, everything goes horribly wrong at the local landfill where the scheme takes place. Chae-ni accidentally dies… only to wake up with teleportation powers and a superhuman heart that refuses to let her stay dead.
The girl who could never go anywhere suddenly has the entire world open before her. But this time, she chooses to protect the town she once desperately wanted to leave.
Cha Eun-woo as **Lee Un-jeong** About the Character
At first glance, Un-jeong appears to be the perfect civil servant: calm, reserved, and strictly rule-abiding. But behind his composed exterior lies a man with powerful telekinetic abilities.
Mysteriously connected to the town of Haeseong, he spends his free time searching for someone from his past in hopes of escaping his traumatic history and finding his biological mother.
A natural lone wolf, Un-jeong prefers working alone — until Chae-ni and her friends unintentionally pull him into their mission.
Choi Dae-hoon as Son Gyeong-hun About the Character
Gyeong-hun is a well-meaning man who relies heavily on his wife, the owner of a flower shop. Between his harmless lies and constant blunders, he spends most of his days at city hall filing complaints about phenol leaks from a toxic landfill.
He agrees to help Chae-ni stage her fake kidnapping in exchange for a cut of the ransom money, but the plan quickly spirals out of control at the very landfill he has spent years protesting against.
After the accident, he develops a bizarre karmic superpower: whenever he lies, his hands stick to anything he touches — and they will not come loose until he tells the truth.
Im Seong-jae as **Kang Ro-bin** About the Character
Despite his intimidating size, Ro-bin is probably the kindest person in town. He works in the kitchen of Chae-ni’s grandmother’s restaurant and is also Chae-ni’s only true friend.
As an accomplice in the fake kidnapping, he gains superhuman strength after the accident. However, there is one catch: his powers only activate when his feelings get hurt… which happens surprisingly often.
Kim Hae-sook as **Kim Jeon-bok** About the Character
Strict yet deeply caring, Jeon-bok is Chae-ni’s grandmother and the owner of a well-known restaurant.

Haunted by her involvement in the laboratory’s past, Jeon-bok quietly keeps watch over the former victims of its experiments.

After his release, he reunites with the surviving test subjects who have faithfully waited for the return of the man they call their “father.” Now, he searches for a long-lost patient from his past — the masterpiece he believes will unlock the secret to immortality.
Jeong E-suh as Seok Ju-ran About the Character

No way, what the hell — don’t do this to me, this is awful. What was that ending to episode 5?! I’m gonna cry, damn… I really didn’t see that coming. 😨
I really love this kind of mystery/money K-drama. It reminds me of Law Life, which I absolutely loved, even though this one isn’t about the sea it’s also about money.
Damn, was this drama written by an amateur? I’ve never seen this many K-drama clichés packed into one single show. And what’s the point of this breakup in episode 8 like in 90% of dramas, just for them to end up together anyway?
Props to them for getting me hooked. Damn, I should’ve dropped this drama after episode 2 — I already knew it was gonna be something mid at best, and now here I am stuck on episode 8, committed until the end. I gave it a 5.5/10 for now, but I’ll wait until the finale before rating it properly.
Namkoong Min / Lee Seol reunion one year after *Our Movie* — I’m so excited, I absolutely loved their chemistry. But honestly, I’m not a fan of Lee Seol’s hairstyle.
Do you guys take the day off or something? And does the drama come out in the morning for you? Because for me, WonderFools was released around 4–5 PM. If I watch all 8 episodes straight, I’d probably finish around 2–3 AM — and that’s *with* breaks to eat, shit, shower, etc. 😂😂
