Okay, I think K-netizens are freaking out about this casting for the wrong reason because I don’t think there will be a love line coming. K-ent is reporting that Cha Eun Woo is in talks to join the K-drama Wonderful World which has already cast Kim Nam Joo as the female lead alongside Kim Kang Woo playing a pair of formerly married exes. This story sounds like a different take on The Glory but from the male lead’s perspective on murder, death, and revenge. Kim Nam Joo plays a successful psychology professor dealing with the murder of her own child and plots revenge on the killer who got the soft end of the law. Kim Kang Woo is her ex-husband and a news anchor. Cha Eun Woo’s character is a medical school dropout who dreams of healing kids who have the same ailment as him and he gets swept into the female lead’s battle for justice. The drama is from the PD of Tracer and Voice 2.
God, how gross if they go there.
I loved Cha Eun Woo in Island, he was so super-cool as the priest Johan. He should take some distance from the typical romantic roles for a while so he doesn’t get typecast as the handsome love interest, he shines more in other type of roles.
Doubt there would be romance. The PD doesnt do romantic type of genres. Theres not much to go on in the synopsis tho I read that kim kang woo (love him) is the husband, not ex. Regardless, good that CEW is taking on non romantic roles cos I think he shines more in those. He was not bad in Island. Way better than his romcom roles where he’s always stiff and has no chemistry with his female leads.
….. it would be amazing if Cha eun woo could pull it off…. I won’t judge yet. All the best to him.
