A mother’s fury is unleashed in Wonderful World, a mystery revenge drama headlined by Kim Nam-joo (Misty) and Cha Eun-woo, although fans should note that the popular member of K-pop boy band Astroboy is being held in reserve – he barely features in the opening week’s episodes.
For professor Eun Soo-hyun (Kim), it certainly is a wonderful world as the story kicks off. She is the beloved author of a bestselling novel and lives in a grand home with her doting husband, television announcer Kang Su-ho (Kim Kang-woo), and their cute-as-a-button son Gun-woo (Lee Joon).
One day, she heads to the airport to attend a conference, but after hearing from her husband that Gun-woo has developed a mild fever her maternal instincts are fired and she returns home. Gun-woo has already recovered but her instincts were not far off base: minutes after her return, Gun-woo disappears.
