Cha Eun-woo escapes controversy over acting skills
The MBC drama 'Wonderful World' is a human mystery drama in which Eun Soo-hyun (Kim Nam-joo), who personally punished the murderer who killed her son, uncovers the mysterious secrets surrounding that day. Cha Eun-woo completely transformed his image by playing the role of Kwon Seon-yul, who grew up in a wealthy family but lost his parents through a series of events and chose a rough life.
Kwon Seon-yul, played by Cha Eun-woo, continues his detailed revenge on Su-hyeon to avenge his father Kwon Ji-woong (played by Oh Man-seok). However, he despairs when he learns the true identity and hidden truth of his father Kwon Ji-woong (Oh Man-seok), but once again uncovers the truth and draws a happy ending. Cha Eun-woo was well-received for perfectly portraying the character's emotions of anger, sadness, and despondency.
In particular, Cha Eun-woo attracted the attention of viewers through his tearful eyes, low voice, and tone of voice as the emotions of the melody swirled like a storm toward the end of the play.
Cha Eun-woo, who broke down 'Kwon Seon-yul' himself in each episode and renewed his character for another lifetime, wrapped up 'Wonderful World' and gave his final greetings through a Q&A interview full of regret and sincerity.
: As a viewer who watched 'Wonderful World' every week, my first thought was that it was disappointing that it was already ending. I wanted all the characters, including Seonyul, to be happy, and it seems like each of them found their own happy ending, so I want to continue to support them. I would also like to say thank you to the viewers who cried and laughed with me.
Q. You received a lot of love and attention as a character with a different atmosphere from your previous works. Is there anything you prepared for the character ‘Kwon Seon-yul’?
: I think I thought at every moment, ‘What if it’s a melody?’ I prepared by reading the lines, focusing on expressing the character's emotions. On set, I had many conversations with the director and senior and junior actors to create Seonyul, and I am grateful that many people viewed it favorably.
Q. Before the drama started, you mentioned that the character keyword was 'Pandora's Box'. What word would you like to use to describe 'Kwon Seon-yul' after the drama ends?
: I think the word ‘Band-Aid’ came to mind. A bandage protects a wound, and I thought of this word because I hoped that Seonyul could heal from the pain, grow new skin, and live well again.
Q. Is there a most memorable scene so far?
: I think the emotional scenes remain in my heart the longest. I especially remember crying a lot during the scenes about my parents. While filming, I had to explain big things that were difficult for Seon-yul to handle and convince her of her revenge on Su-hyeon, so I tried to focus and express it more.
Q. This is a work with various senior and junior actors such as Kim Nam-joo, Kim Kang-woo, and Lim Se-mi. How was the chemistry on set?
: Unlike the atmosphere of the drama, it was always fun on set. The seniors created a friendly atmosphere first, and we joked around with each other during break times and talked a lot about various things while eating together.
Q. What do you think about the ending of ‘Kwon Seon-yul’?
: While playing Seonyul, I often imagined, ‘What will the ending be like?’ Personally, I think I imagined it as a sad ending because I understood Seonyul, but she also hurt others. However, it was beautiful to see him become a medical student again and have fun with his friends, so I thought it was an ending that went well with the title, 'Wonderful World'.
Q. Please tell us which scene you liked most during the broadcast and why.
: Actually, I think there are too many to pick just one. Every episode and every scene is precious, and I think it's even more so because I remember how hard we all worked together. I remember feeling happy when I saw the positive comments from people around me and the reactions of people who were immersed in the play.
Q. What would you like to say to ‘Kwon Seon-yul’ after the drama ends?
: I think it was a full happy ending, so I don't want to say too much, but I want to say something short. “Seonyul, let’s live better and be happy”
Q. Lastly, please say a word to the fans and viewers who have supported and loved you.
: First of all, we would like to sincerely thank the viewers who watched and loved ‘Wonderful World’. I hope that this warm and 'wonderful' drama will remain in everyone's hearts for a long time as we pass the cold winter and welcome spring.
Everyone has their own wounds and pains, but I hope this gives them the strength to rise again. thank you be happy!
