New stills from the upcoming thriller K-drama Wonderful World have been released, offering a glimpse into the seemingly perfect family life of Kim Nam Joo and Kim Kang Woo. MBC’s Wonderful World delves into an emotional thriller narrative centered around Eun Soo Hyun (played by Kim Nam Joo), a woman driven by revenge following the tragic loss of her son. Faced with the perpetrator's evasion of legal consequences, she takes matters into her own hands in pursuit of justice. ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo portrays Kwon Sun Yool, whose life takes unexpected turns after dropping out of medical school, leading to an unforeseen connection with Eun Soo Hyun.

Kim Kang Woo takes on the role of Eun Soo Hyun’s husband, Kang Soo Ho, a former journalist who has transitioned into a successful anchorman. His life, too, undergoes an unexpected shift in direction after the devastating loss of their son. In the newly unveiled stills, Eun Soo Hyun and Kang Soo Ho are depicted enjoying a birthday celebration in the park alongside their son, Kang Gun Woo (played by Lee Jun), and their beloved dog. Eun Soo Hyun's tender gaze towards her son exudes warmth and affection, while Kang Soo Ho's fond look at his wife Soo Hyun radiates love, painting a heartwarming portrait of a perfect, happy family. Their smiles, coupled with the lively ambiance of the park, come together to craft a picturesque moment.

However, the apparent bliss of Eun Soo Hyun and Kang Soo Ho's family is poised to unravel in the drama following the unjust death of their young son. Consequently, the seemingly joyous moments captured in these stills paradoxically foreshadow a looming sense of tragedy and despair for the couple.
