Get ready to see a whole new side of Cha Eun-woo! The K-pop idol and actor is captivating viewers with his intense portrayal of Kwon Seon-yul in MBC’s drama “Wonderful World.”
The drama, which has already soared to a viewership rating of 7.2% in just two episodes, promises a gripping story filled with passionate acting and a fast-paced plot. Ahead of the third episode’s broadcast, stills have been released showcasing a dramatic transformation for Cha Eun-woo’s character.
Gone is the bright and cheerful persona fans are familiar with. In “Wonderful World,” Cha Eun-woo takes on the role of Seon-yul, a man burdened by a dark past and a life of hardship. Orphaned and forced into a life of crime, Seon-yul’s world is far removed from the glamorous world of K-pop.
The newly released stills paint a picture of desperation and a hidden struggle. We see Seon-yul, barefoot and with a determined glint in his eyes, wading through a stream. The police are on his heels, but Seon-yul is fixated on something in the water, searching frantically despite their warnings. His disheveled appearance and urgency create a sense of danger and mystery.

This scene builds upon the intriguing glimpses of Seon-yul’s double life that viewers witnessed in the first two episodes. By day, he toils at a junkyard, and by night, he serves under the ruthless Kim Jun (played by Park Hyuk-kwon). The stark contrast between his handsome features and the harsh realities of his life has piqued the audience’s curiosity.
Cha Eun-woo’s performance has already garnered praise for its depth and complexity. His transformation into the brooding Seon-yul is a far cry from the roles he’s played before. In episode two, he impressed viewers with his portrayal of raw masculinity in a junkyard scene.
The upcoming episodes promise even more action and a deeper exploration of Seon-yul’s inner turmoil. The production team has hinted at “action scenes that require no effort” and a character arc that will reveal Seon-yul’s hidden past and his connection to the mysterious Su-hyeon.
