A drama drawing buzz for Park Eun-bin’s bold acting transformation is racing up the global charts.
Netflix’s series Wonderful, released on May 15, racked up 2.7 million views in just three days of its first week, soaring to No. 6 on Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV list.
Set in 1999, Wonderful follows neighborhood youths who accidentally gain superpowers and team up to fight a villain threatening the world. The series caught fire worldwide, entering the Top 10 lists in 25 countries, including South Korea, Hong Kong, India, the Philippines, and Mexico.
Major overseas outlets are raving as well. North American outlet Decider praised its "sharp sense of humor and the endearing charm of its flustered characters," while the South China Morning Post (SCMP) called it "entertainment that effortlessly hops across genres." India Today noted that the show’s distinct Y2K vibe adds rich texture to the story, and pop-culture site But Why Tho? applauded how "the buoyant energy holds to the very end, centered on Park Eun-bin’s lovable, delightfully quirky character."
Riding this momentum, Netflix dropped behind-the-scenes stills from Wonderful, instantly grabbing fans’ attention. The photos capture the cast sharing big laughs and flawless chemistry even when the cameras aren’t rolling.
In particular, Park Eun-bin’s bright smile as Chaeni evokes a character who overcomes a congenital heart condition and embraces a newfound freedom through superpowers. Fans also get a peek at her sweet two-shot with Unjeong (played by Cha Eun-woo), plus her lively chemistry with Choi Dae-hoon and Lim Seong-jae.
Netizens reacted with excitement: "The cast lineup is truly adorable," "You can tell the on-set vibes were great—and it shows in the drama," and "Please release more photos!"
This superpowered adventure about a lovable, slightly clumsy crew saving the world at the turn of the century—Wonderful—is now streaming exclusively on Netflix, with all episodes available.
