In the latest episode of Wonderful World, Soo-hyun (Kim Nam-joo) feels the weight of betrayals after learning the shocking truth about her husband’s infidelity with her adopted sister, Yu-ri.

Wonderful World Episode 9 Review

The recent episode of Wonderful World reflects on trauma and betrayal from loved ones. It also highlights how fragile family relationships are and what happens when a heated moment brings lifetime regret and shame.

Despite Wonderful World’s blend of intriguing themes with the impeccable performances from each cast member like Kim Nam-joo, Cha Eun-woo, and Kim Kang-woo in the lead, the new episode was monotonous as it did not offer anything new. Apart from a twist and cliffhanger in the end, episode 9 spiraled into flashbacks and Soo-hyun's tragic fate after she was shaken by the unexpected betrayal.

Cha Eun-woo slays in the villainous role. His intense long gazes and wicked smile add depth to his troubled character. Hopefully, the upcoming episode will have some new turns that favour Soo-hyun.

Overall, Wonderful World is a promising thriller due to its parallel past and present timelines along with a well-paced narrative. However, Episode 9 fails to sustain your attention and almost mirrors the previous episode that showcased Soo-hyun's trauma and broken heart.
