“Wonderful World” episode 6: Recap & review

“Who are you?”

The revelation that Cha Eun-woo was the son of Oh Man-seok, who was murdered by Kim Nam-joo...

Recap

The 6th episode plunged Soo-hyun (played by Kim Nam-joo) into confusion as she began to suspect the true identity of Seon-yul (played by Cha Eun-woo), whom she believed to be the sole survivor of the "Pension Fire Incident." The twist ending revealed that Seon-yul was actually the biological son of Ji-woong (played by Oh Man-seok), whom Soo-hyun had killed.

Soo-hyun, who encountered Seon-yul in Eun-min’s (played by Kang Myung-joo) hospital room, was shocked and asked, “How did you get here?” At that moment, the ECG alarm sounded, signaling Eun-min’s critical condition. 

In an unexpected emergency, Seon-yul attempted CPR on Eun-min as if he couldn’t see anything, raising doubts about their relationship. It was only when led away by the medical team that Seon-yul regained his composure, while Soo-hyun was left only with confusion. 

Fortunately, as Eun-min’s condition stabilized, Soo-hyun expressed curiosity about the relationship between Seon-yul and Eun-min. To this, Seon-yul deflected, saying, “I don’t like seeing people die. What about you?” implying that he had merely saved a critically ill person by chance.

After escaping the chaotic situation, Seon-yul calmed himself by running on a treadmill until he was out of breath. Soo-jin (played by Yang Hye-ji), who was watching, expressed concern, saying, “You shouldn’t run like this. What kind of heart do you have? We both would have struggled to survive our heart conditions if it weren’t for you.” Seon-yul then chillingly revealed, “I met that woman there yesterday. Aren’t you curious? What expression would that son have?”

Meanwhile, Soo-hyun learned from her brother-in-law, Dr. Tae-ho (played by Jin Gun-woo), that Eun-min had a son. She realized that the perpetrator who sent her the photos of Su-ho’s (played by Kim Kang-woo) affair could be Ji-woong’s son. 

Also, after confirming that the perpetrator’s car was speeding at 115 km/h in a 30 km/h zone at the time of Eun-min’s accident, Soo-hyun recalled a reporter’s comment that “it seems more like an incident than an accident.” Believing the accident to be incomprehensible, Soo-hyun began a thorough investigation into Eun-min’s traffic accident.

On the other hand, Su-ho tearfully apologized to Sooo-hyun's mom Go-eun (played by Won Mi-kyung). He sobbed, “I’ve also lost a child. I couldn’t even cry out loud for fear of losing Soo-hyun as well. I must have been out of my mind. I’m truly sorry, mother.” 

Overhearing this behind a wall, Soo-hyun also held back tears. She told Su-ho, “I don’t know how long it will take to repair our relationship, but I’m going to try my best.”

Seon-yul rushed to the hospital upon hearing that Min-hyuk, who was seriously injured and had undergone surgery, was visited by illegal gambling den associates. In a situation where they tried to force unconscious Min-hyuk to stamp a body abandonment document, Seon-yul tore the document and shouted, “Are you even human? Doing this to someone unconscious,” and threw himself to save Min-hyuk. 

Soo-hyun, who happened to find Seon-yul at the hospital, was surprised to see him fighting in the hallway. She expressed concern, saying, “For the sake of your parents, I can’t stand to see you ruin yourself any longer,” but Seon-yul coldly turned away, retorting, “Is that advice or an order? You’re a murderer. Live your life properly.” Hearing the word "murderer," Soo-hyun was frozen in place.

In the meantime, Kim Jun (played by Park Hyuk-kwon) raised his election support by attending the sports day of an environmental activist’s daughter, who couldn’t attend due to her father’s crane protest. However, his support among female voters was still weaker than his competitors. 

To address this, he devised a strategy to use the popular anchor Su-ho and instructed Seon-yul to look into Su-ho’s photos and personal information. At that moment, Han-sang, hired by Su-ho, secretly captured the meeting between Seon-yul and the secretary on camera, raising expectations for future developments.

Later, Soo-hyun, thinking it strange that Seon-yul, who had lashed out at her with harsh words, visited a scrapyard. Seon-yul explained, “I wanted to do something for you. I’ve only ever received from you,” and then added, “That patient’s son was there that day. I felt like him. I couldn’t let him lose his mother too.” 

As it grew dark and Soo-hyun was about to leave in her car, Seon-yul noticed her tire was flat and offered to help, saying, “It looks like your tire is flat, shall I fill it up for you?” Then, looking up at the stars in the sky, Seon-yul shared the myth of the constellation Pisces, where mother Aphrodite and son Eros cling to each other to avoid separation. Seon-yul then relaxed, saying, “I thought you wouldn’t come to see me again.” Soo-hyun replied, “Did you think I would be your guardian with just that kind of sentiment? I will continue to meddle in your life.”

Meanwhile, Soo-hyun, who was at a restaurant with Su-ho, suddenly remembered that the victim of the "Pension Arson Fire" incident had a phobia of fire. She also recalled that Seon-yul could light firewood without any issue and that he had no scar on his left shoulder, which added to her confusion.

At that moment, Seon-yul, who visited Eun-min’s hospital room, touched her hand to his face and called out “Mom.” The veil was finally lifted, revealing that Seon-yul wasn't the victim of the "Pension Arson Fire" incident but the son of Ji-woong, whom Soo-hyun had killed. 

Concurrently, Soo-hyun ended episode 6 with strong suspicion about Seon-yul’s identity, asking, “Seon-yul, who are you?” “Wonderful World”’s stormy development continued to unfold, heightening our immersion.

Review

The lady in the hospital is Seon-yul’s mom. It looks like our guesses were right. Seon-yul isn’t the child who was in a fire long ago since why would he visit the orphanage where he used to live if he was that child? He must be looking for the real child who was in the accident. It’s clear he’s the mother’s son by the way he acts.

Why does he look so scary, like a psychopath? His eyes change from kind and caring to crazy, and it’s really spooky.

We’re not sure why Seon-yul is hiding who he is from Soo-hyun. I don’t think he wants to get back at her. He might be after the congressman he works for. 

Deep down, he probably knows Soo-hyun is also hurt, even though her hands caused his father’s death. His family fell apart, his life is at rock bottom, and his mom is in a coma. But he can’t be mad at her because his dad caused it all.

What if his dad did all that just so Seon-yul could get a “new heart”? If he finds out that his own troubles caused all this, it would be really sad.

Also, I know it’s just a show, but the cheating part bothers me. It seems like they’re saying it’s okay to stay with someone who cheats. But if a relationship is built on lies and cheating, it won’t last. Once someone cheats, they might do it again. I think once trust is broken, it’s gone forever.

Moreover, I still think Soo-hyun’s sister isn't nice. I believe she and Su-ho have been secretly together from the start. She left his house without him noticing and left the door open.

The neighbor saw her and felt weird when Soo-hyun came back to that house. They met at a hotel because Su-ho thought she might have sent a picture. Was she also cheating with him, or was she lying to protect Soo-hyun from getting hurt by her sister having an affair with Su-ho?
