K-netizens say Cha Eun Woo's good looks are making his character's "difficult life" narrative hard to believe in the upcoming drama 'Wonderful World'

AKP STAFF

In the new drama 'Wonderful World,' which is set to premiere on March 1, 2024, Cha Eun Woo portrays the character of Kwon Sun Yool, whose life is described as being ruined, and he is depicted as living a challenging life.

The plot of the drama centers around Eun Soo Hyun (played by Kim Nam Joo), a psychology professor and writer who is dealing with the profound grief of losing her son. Her sorrow is further compounded by the fact that the perpetrator of the crime goes unpunished. Determined to seek justice and closure, she embarks on a journey of revenge. Along the way, she encounters Kwon Sun Yool, a wealthy student who has abandoned his education due to his own painful past. As their paths intertwine, they find solace and healing in each other's shared experiences of loss and suffering.

Recently, still-cuts of the drama were revealed, giving a sneak peek into the upcoming series.

With anticipation for the new drama running high, Korean netizens gathered in a popular online community to share their thoughts on the teaser photos.

Many netizens immediately took notice of Cha Eun Woo's impeccable visuals and commented that his handsome looks make the character's "difficult life" narrative hard to believe.

These netizens commented, "There's no way he would be suffering on the bottom with that face," "This is unrealistic. With that face? Suffering?" "I thought all these photos were pictorials," "He's just too good-looking to say he's living a ruined life, lol. He looks too much like a prince," "This is so unreal because if he does a part-time and some customer posts a photo of him online, he would immediately be cast to the entertainment industry, lol," "His skin is just too perfect to be someone suffering in the bottom," and "No way he was not cast by some entertainment person with that face."

ngl, he looks like he's playing dress up with the construction site photo. The issue is if they have someone that realistically looks the part, people will start complaining that the actor looks too plain; can never impress anyone with the double standards. I've seen so many posts on social media about people dropping dramas because the actors aren't "good looking enough"🤦‍♀️.

Plus the fact that Dramas will never show actors as anything other than super-models. Poor, hungry, and struggling? Here's full hair/makeup and a closet full of designer clothing.

Just got beat up by 5 dudes? Well, that calls for full hair/makeup, designer clothing, annnddd a lovingly placed red dot on your bottom lip.
