Debuts on Netflix on May 15

This South Korean adventure comedy follows a group of misfits who unexpectedly gain superpowers and band together to save the world.

It reunites director Yoo In-sik and actress Park Eun-bin, the duo behind the hit legal comedy series Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022), in which Park played a brilliant neurodivergent lawyer.

Their new show is set in 1999, at the peak of Y2K doomsday fever.

Park plays Chae-ni, a quirky train wreck, while K-idol Cha Eun-woo is Un-jeong, a socially awkward civil servant.

Together, they investigate a series of mysterious disappearances in their town and try to protect it from a looming threat.

Why watch it: If you enjoyed the eccentric but heartfelt storytelling of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, this millennial-coded superhero story looks like a repeat of that formula.

It is the first on-screen collaboration between popular stars Park (The King’s Affection, 2021) and Cha (True Beauty, 2020 to 2021), although the latter’s involvement in a 20 billion won (S$17.3 million) tax scandal may overshadow The Wonderfools’ debut.
