Remember a time when we thought all K-Dramas are the same and we could predict almost every scene. Though I admit not all of them are similar, you cannot disagree that you do have your own share of predictable dramas plots and cliché . But then W-Two Worlds came into my life and I will never be the same again. Apart from fantasizing that my favorite webtoon lead would turn out to be a real gorgeous, rich and heavenly man, I think W has sort of spoilt me for other dramas. W is fantasy drama which has its own set of rules and logic. The rules have been so tightly woven within the story-line, that you don't really question it. All credits of drama goes to the exceptional way the story was written.
The story leads Oh Yeon Joo, a doctor from the real world meets and falls in love with Kang Chul (Lee Jong Suk), a lead character from the Webtoon W have played their parts to perfection. While Oh Yeon Joo is a scatter brain who has a cheerful personality, Kang Chul is ambitious, driven and focused. While Oh Yeon Joo is flustered easily, nothing can fluster Kang Chul.
The story starts off simple enough - Heroine gets dragged into the manhwa (webtoon) world and we know that her dad, the creator of the webtoon was also dragged off in the same world at the same time. She meets and save Kang Chul's life and falls head over heals in love with him and marries him. Kang Chul not only realises he is a Webtoon character but also gets over his depression over having a set path to his life is happy knowing he is going to live the rest of his life as a comic book character. All is well! And this happens in the first 7 episodes.What happens next is a heart wrenching, complicated and ridiculously thrilling episodes that ensures you are at the edge of your seats.
Netflix K Drama Review: D.p. Season 2
Apart from the mind bending chemistry of our OTP, Oh Sung-moo played to perfection by Kim Eui-sung brought about the addicting factor to the drama. He started out as Mr. Oh, the comic book novelist who shot to fame with his webtoon W. He was a weak-willed man who resorts to drinking to find solace. He would rather make a deal with the devil (in this case a faceless villain) and then promptly forgets about it. I did find it funny in a sad way that our faceless villain was tele-porting himself just to have an identity and know he was.
Major Spoilers: The twist in the plot of having a Kang Chul 2.0 who never really recovers his Kang Chul 1.0 memories was unexpected but in a nice way. It was after all a webtoon and not an enchanted fairy tale where one kiss could make him remember everything.
But, there is always a But and I hate it when that happens. The finale of the series did not really leave me satisfied at the slightest. When I was waiting for 19 episodes for answers, I did not get them. Why could she and her father move in and out of the webtoon? What was so different about the tablet? How did he become more powerful than the writer who created him? Did the Kang Chul 2.0 really love Oh Yeon Joo? And why in God's name was the Love declaration scene so insignificant.
Bone Chilling K Drama Villains We Will Never Forget
All in All, this was one of the best dramas of 2016 and is definitely worth a watch. I give this one a 4.5 /5 for the first 19 episodes and a 3/5 for the 20th episode and a special 6 /5 for all the kiss scenes ;)Ohohohoho. You have no idea how happy it makes me to spend this much time with W again. The first few days after the show ended I didn’t know what to do with my life… this show really highlighted my week. Now, I get to spend my morning rewatching all my favorite scenes while I search for good screencaps to add. Which, I must say, is so fun.
***(W) arning! A rant is just that, a complete expose on my feelings for a piece. SPOILERS abound and I’m not gonna try and stop them. Read at your own risk.***
What perfect show would be complete without a terrifying, mind-blowing villain? Not any top show of mine, that’s for sure. As much as I love hotty-but-naughty villains a-la
Heartthrob Actors Lee Jong Seok, Song Seung Heon Take On Villain Roles
, I’m a real sucker for unhinged, make-me-cry-in-my-sleep variety. And W Two Worlds certainly delivered on that score. The beginning was terrifying enough, with a faceless shooter. But when our faceless-ninja-assassin-of-doom (Nazgul killer for short) takes on Daddy Oh’s face, he reaches a whole new level of freaky. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, though, so let’s take it from the top.
It’s brilliant to me how seamlessly writer Song weaves story and trope and character all together. When we first heard of the faceless killer I didn’t expect him to come back and bite us in the backside–I honestly didn’t know who’d be the villain at all, other than the webtoon (which I believe still stands). Well, I got the other memo
Quick. As soon as he left the webtoon and showed his… pixels? I knew we were in trouble. Dealing with a webtoon villain inside of his lair is one thing… dealing with a self aware webtoon villain in the real world is quite another. Just the idea of it is genius: hanging a lantern on the “identitiless killer” trope while at the same time leading up to a major plot point and still developing his character as a desperate, soul-searching villain. The very terror came from the idea that he killed because he was written to… and then because he could. How terrifying the things we do when given the choice. This fear only amplified after the Daddy Oh makeover–it drew out the similarities between the two even more. This only served to unnerve me, because I could also see Oh Seung Moo in Chul–or the Oh Seung Moo he’d like to be. They say every writer puts a little bit of themselves into every character they create, and they definitely showed that here.

The acting definitely reflected the juxtopositions being made between Oh Seung Moo, Chul and the killer as well. Kim Eui Sung wasn’t on my radar
Before this show, but you can bet I’ll be looking for him in dramaland now. It’s a rare occasion that I watch a scene and go “Oh.
Is why he was chosen.” Me having a feeling like that means they’ve really knocked it out of the park: two thumbs up hands in the air I’m sold. Well, Oh Seung Moo definitely had a scene like that for me–when he first shows up at the W station and kills everybody, I had chills. Serious chills. The man’s a maniac! Kim Eui Sung played the villain so well I could see the crazy in his soul through those tvs. And yet as soon as he switched, I could feel the helplessness and regret and utter pathetic-(icity?) that radiated from Daddy Oh. Two so different people, but so connected.
Who Are All The Villains Of Ahsoka?
I’d like to mention one last aspect of this character before moving on. Consider this: Oh Seung Moo wanted so desperately to be like Chul. Tall, handsome, strong in his character and values… a hero in every sense of the word. But he couldn’t help the villain that festered within himself–the destructive, jealous creator who believed he could never be the hero and so wanted to revel in Chul’s downfall. And the more he hated his creations–both hero and villain–the more he was consumed. Eventually nothing remained of himself… and even at the end of it all as he tries to be a hero for his daughter, he cannot succeed without murdering others and becoming a further villain for himself. So firmly entrenched in his bad character as to become a villain himself–and the webtoon rules with a firm hand. No character can go against their written precepts, and so he disappears, torn between the man he envies and the man he fears. Oh, I just love his storyline.
Su-bong and Crazy Dog. Omo. I think what I loved the most about these two was the ridiculous amount of meta they lent the show. It wasn’t enough to give the viewers veiled analogies about real writing and breaking the fourth wall–no, we got our own outlets into every aspect of the show. Su-bong became our fangirl for the drama itself: he was the in-the-know freaking out fangirl that worried over our OTP and stressed about happy endings as much as we did. He screamed when we wanted to scream:
Su-bong, You’ll be missed. Lee Si-Un, where did you come from? Your comedic timing was spot on. You made scenes perfect without overtaking them. Really, you might take the throne as favorite side-kick ever. I’d say fight for it with Crazy dog, but he wasn’t “in
