What it is about

The Wonderfools (원더풀스) is a Netflix series released in full on 15 May 2026. News1 describes it as a superpower comic adventure set at the end of 1999, in which a neighbourhood of ordinary people who come by powers by accident struggle to hold off a villain threatening the peace. Yoo In-sik directs, working with Park Eun-bin again after Extraordinary Attorney Woo; Cha Eun-woo, Choi Dae-hoon and Lim Sung-jae complete the lead line-up, with Kim Hae-sook, Son Hyun-joo, Jung Yi-seo, Choi Yun-ji and Bae Na-ra in the cast.

Why it broke out internationally

It entered Netflix’s weekly global Top 10 for non-English TV at sixth in its first week and rose to second in its second, with 7.9 million views and 74.8 million hours viewed — the rise, rather than the opening, is what the Korean press reported at the time. It held second place for a third week and stayed on the list for five weeks in all. In the first three days it passed 2.7 million views and was first in Korea, in the top 10 in 25 countries.

Where to watch

The Wonderfools streams worldwide on Netflix. The official trailer is on Netflix Korea’s YouTube channel, and Netflix K-Content carries the English-subtitled version. K-Culture Radar links to official platforms and uploads rather than rehosting clips.
