Wonderful World Ending Explained: Does Cha Eun-Woo K-Drama Have a Happy or Sad Ending?

MBC and Disney Plus aired Wonderful World episode 14 (finale) on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Starring Cha Eun-Woo and Kim Nam-Joo, the revenge K-drama revolves around two strangers getting entangled in each other’s lives due to their past traumas.

In the previous episode, Seon-Yul (Cha Eun-Woo) and Soo-Hyun (Kim Nam-Joo) learned the truth about the latter’s son’s death. Kim Joon hit the toddler and sought Seon-Yul’s father’s help. His father took the blame on himself and killed the child. In return, he asked Kim Joon to save Seon-Yul, who awaited an urgent heart transplant. At the episode’s end, Seon-Yul promised to help Soo-Hyun, who exposed Kim Joon’s name at her book conference. Meanwhile, Seon-Yul tried to choke Kim-Joon. 

Wonderful World finale begins with Soo-Hyun exposing Kim Joon’s crime in the media. The presidential candidate is then called by the police but manages to clear his name. Despite several obstacles, Soo-Hyun and Seon-Yul find justice, leading to a happy ending.

In Wonderful World episode 14, Kim Joon (Park Hyuk-Kwon) flips people and media’s thinking through his political moves. But Soo-Hyun is determined to seek justice for her son’s death and send Kim Joon to prison.

Seon-Yul helps Soo-Hyun in her journey as Kim Joon has also wronged him. Seon-Yul attacks the presidential candidate on a rooftop to record his confession. But Kim Joon and his guards find the device and beat Seon-Yul. Meanwhile, Soo-Hyun pursues her final move: to protest against the culprit. Slowly, many well-wishers join her despite the bad weather. Seon-Yul and his friends appear at the right time when Kim Joon’s people begin to attack the protest. 

Although the number of protesters keeps increasing, many people still support Kim Joon. While the latter says in his campaign that he has been framed, a live broadcast ruins his plans. Soo-Hyun’s husband, Soo-Ho (Kim Kang-Woo), a renowned TV news anchor, runs the news exposing Kim Joon’s true face. Soo-Ho plays Seon-Yul’s video evidence and a recording from the day of the accident that proves Kim Joon is the culprit of Soo-Hoo and Soo-Hyun’s son’s death.

While Soo-Ho exposes Kim Joon on a live broadcast, a flashback shows Seon-Yul meeting Soo-Ho and promising to take down the killer. Now, Soo-Hyun learns that her husband has never abandoned the desire to seek justice for their son.
