Park Eun Bin is swapping her powersuit for a cape. The actress recently sat down with Cosmopolitan Korea to discuss her latest Netflix project, "The WONDERfools," an action-comedy set in apocalyptic 1999.
The story follows a ragtag crew of neighborhood misfits who randomly stumble into superpowers. These unlikely heroes must defend the fictional city of Haeseong from villains determined to bring chaos. The film blends superhero spectacle with comedy and the awkward energy of ordinary people discovering they can suddenly bend reality.
Park Eun Bin, best known for her role in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," is moving beyond the courtroom. The actress has been building momentum, and jumping into an action-comedy with Netflix-level production values marks a shift in her career.
The 1999 setting works well for the story. It's that pre-smartphone era when the internet barely existed and apocalyptic dread was everywhere. Add superpowers to that recipe and you have instant entertainment.
"The WONDERfools" is the kind of show that starts as "something to watch this weekend" and becomes a full series binge by Monday morning. Park Eun Bin's interview with Cosmopolitan Korea suggests she is having fun bringing this misfits-turned-superheroes story to life.
