A trio of social outcasts unexpectedly develop superpowers in Netflix’s latest original K-drama series, The Wonderfools. Reuniting with her Extraordinary Attorney Woo director Yoo In-sik, Park Eun-bin takes the lead as a terminally ill misfit known around town as “Lady Trainwreck”, who acquires the ability to teleport.

Joining her on these misadventures are classmate Ro-bin (Im Seong-jae, The Worst of Evil) and hapless neighbourhood florist Gyeong-hun (Choi Dae-hoon, When Life Gives You Tangerines), who also attain superhuman skills. Together, they attract the attention of Lee Un-jeong (Cha Eun-woo, True Beauty), a mysterious new employee at City Hall.
