First of all I want to APPLAUSE the Writer. It is really hoooking to not know what will happen in next episodes and that gave big positive points for me. Most of K-dramas are really predictable starting from first 1-3 episodeds. In almost ALL Koreand Dramas the beginning is strong and the ending is not. I don't know if this is the lack of money, ideas or shooting time.
I also want to APPLAUSE the actor who played the Father of main female lead. He deserves a lot of prizes and for sure he SAVED the show from bigger downfall.
Also, W inspired me to begin drawing on my digital tablet.
Scenario/ Writing;
The story for two worlds is great. I always dreamed to draw manga or live in another world. It was great to see this FRESH idea released in K-drama that wasn't mainly focused on Romance and Cinderella stories. The writing is great because I didn't know what happen in next episodes and I was enthusiastic about this drama every week. Really, I loved all the plot twists. Gleat story and ideas, not so good developed in the end.
Story Progression:
First 10 episodes were really Great and I loved them all, after that it was downfall for me. I loved the dynamic in stories, the intense and the unpredictable stories. The clear goals and limits that characters had. The story progression had no unexplained holes until the end. It was captivating and interesting to watch time traveling and different things happened for a time.
Music:
Good music I can say.
Acting:
The acting wasn't good, really. I didn't feel the characters and it seems the actors didn't go deep in the roles.
The expresiion of Main Lead Character always is like cold manga character, it didnt show any emotions even in most intimate moments. . Proboably this was meant to be based on writers. The main lead is really handsome, but looks like a statue in some points of the show.
The main female was a bit better then the role - more emotions and expressions, but it seemed really FAKE. But the main female is beautiful lady of course.
The BEST acting was from the actor who plays the Father of Main female lead. -Kim Eui Seong. He deserves really a prize for his acting. It was splenidid and he really felt his characters. He lived really in his role. I admire him and his attitude toward the acting.
Relationships Development:
It wasn't sincere development of Romance relationships, it seemed FORCED and unreal as it should stayed I think... The best relatonship development was betweem the father and the daughter. This moved my heart and really touched me. I even cried of some scenes between the Father and Ddughter. This seemed real and was emotionally powerful.
Charracters:
Kang Chul - Standard rich boy, but the good was he had High Willt. He has strong feeliing for Justice and that made him a bit out of ordinary rich boy and playeer in Kdramas characters.
Oh Yeon Joo - in the beginning she seemed strong and out of ordinary stupidly daydreaming girls. In the end I am not sure how to call her - egoist or a person who want to pleasure all around her and to not sacrifice anything.But all in all she was way better than Standard stupidly smiling and waiting girls for their Man to call them. She at least was a great as doctor and succeed on her own.
Supporting characters are really great and I love almost them all. Especially Yoon Joo's boss
Start:
Strong Start that blowed my mind for first 10 episodes. I thought it will be like this till the end but I was wrong. I didn't know what will happen next nad I waited with big enthusiasm for the next episode.
End:
I can say I met a loosy end with this Drama - really boring and predictable end for me. Too much false tears and awaitings. Far away from first purposes of character's live and even the change wasn't sincere developed, also Fake - in relationships and in lie.
Chemistry
Well, the main leads have really great chemistry, but they didn't play it well within the characters they played - they seemed forced to do some things and didn't enjoy them.
Life lessons:
Doing the best you can and let go the things when you need to let them go. Also, there are different worlds in everyone's eyes and lives, you should respect and try to understand and see them well..
All in all it was enjoyable drama, different from standard and known KDrama scenarios I watched till now. But in the end a lot of things stood unexplained - how come Yeon Soo's mother didn't ever bothered to know more? and a lot of questions about that. In the end they were a lot of story holes that we can just imagine to understand better.

because I love unique crazy concepts like this, it's different.. It’s not the same type of rom-com dramas - which I have to admit, I love watching them from time to time - BUT also I love watching a real drama with so many plot twists ! I mean who doesn’t ?
And “W: Two Worlds” had the spark, the cliff hanger, and the crazy story that makes you always don't know what’s gonna happen in the next 5 minutes !!
the only problems that I had with this drama, that slight moments when it was about to get repetitive in one point but the writer got him/herself together in one episode - thank god - .. plus I did like the way it ended, but I think it could have been done better than that !
The Actors: * Lee Jong Suk as Kang Chul: he’s on my top actors in Kdramas list, not because his looks, but he is really great actor, watching him since his small role in “Secret Garden” to his big lead role in “I Hear Your Voice” to my one of favorite dramas “Pinocchio”, that man has the skills to portray his characters very well, and he knows how to choose his dramas very well !
* Han Hyo Joo as Oh Yeon Joo : it’s my first time watching her in a drama ! but I gotta say the sad decisions she made - you know what I mean if you watched it - was like a knife in my heart, she made me feel bad for all she had been through even though it’s just a drama, especially in the last 8 eps I guess of the drama, she was really good.
* Kim Eui Seong as Oh Sung Moo: Oh! that man I watched him in “Six Flying Dragons”, and now I watched him in “W: Two Worlds”.. and I have to say I LOVE HIM MORE IN W .. it doesn’t mean that you are old that you can’t slay in a drama.. HE SLAYED :D I don’t know but he really was AMAZING .. did you watch him the last episode?! LIKE damn.. my feelings was all over the floors because of him !! and I really loved all of his scenes with Jong Suk and the development in his character through the drama.. HE WAS GREAT !!!
and Shout Out to all the Support Roles in this Drama who did amazing job too such as: ( Lee Shi Eon as Soo Bong / Jung Eugene as Soo Hee / “and the one that I wish they give him a lead role in a drama before I die” Lee Tae Hwan as Do Yoon .. Plus that crazy fanboy professor of Oh Yeon Joo :D :D unfortunately I don’t know his name )
Music: I didn’t like the songs because I guess I don’t remember any of them !! Sorry~
Rewatch Value: Definitely worth Rewatching Again and Again !!!

- Most unique, strong, complex, and on your toes story line/plot
- Popular, strong, talented, and wisely chosen cast
- Perfect mixture of romance, action, comedy, thriller, fantasy, and mystery
- Would have been perfected with better music
- This could have been a 20 episode drama, but with such a great story line with rich content in each episode I am satisfied. I prefer a 16 episode drama that has rich and important content throughout all 16 episodes rather than have pointless scenes that prolonged the drama for 20 episodes unnecessarily.
- You will always want more in each drama and wish for more this and that, however, I've found my number 1 drama. (finally)

SILLIEST SURGEON EVER
This is what I call the most unprofessional immature silliest doctor that comes with one of most difficult profession that requires so much education, professionalism, training, maturity and critical thinking but this woman blew it all by her ridiculous stupidity. I don't buy it...seriously...She's beautiful but so annoying acting...ugh! Drama was full exaggeration bad acting, so much sighing/panting, dialog delivered loud.Story line was ridiculous, beyond dense fantasy imagination:
Oh Sung Moo the comic creator famous 'W', the father of residence cardiothoracic surgeon Oh Yeon Joo, mysteriously went missing while writing the last chapter of his webtoon "W". Yeon Joo went to his office looking, but a hand from his monitor suddenly pulled her in, and she found herself on the rooftop of a hotel, next to a bloodied man (Lee Jong-Suk). She managed to save the person, only to realized that he's Kang Cheol, the main character of her father's webtoon as she's transferred to the different dimension of comic life. Yeon Joo later discovered she can only enter and leave the webtoon depending on Kang Cheol's feelings. Some twists and adding plots, Kang Cheol went in to the reality world and learned that her father was the one who's been trying to kill him by any means to end webtoon. Some more twists and changing plots, they're together as married couple, then it wasn't - back and forth in both world.
Kang Cheol (Park Jung-Suk)
He's the eye candy, gorgeous young single rich man who looked for the murderer of his family, been through much in his younger self as he's being accused and jailed as the main suspect of murder. As a perfect sharpshooter, he gained his wealth by doing many businesses, life was great luxuries. He just didn't understand much when he did something he felt like the urge without sense, why someone kept trying to end his life without indication of traces. He then realized he's actually the main character of comic, authored by Oh Sung Moo whose intention to end the story as he wanted to stop getting pull into the comic himself. Mysteriously the comic created itself without the author knowing how and it kept 'to be continue' for the next chapter again and again magically. Some other intervention from different (ghostly) 'being' recreating this comic.....I would know if I'd continue watching. I think only Park Jung-Suk that wasn't yelling when he delivered his dialog, that's his positive beside his good look.

However... around episode 7, I couldn’t follow the story at all. It’s a complete mess. I’m at episode 9 (I seriously don’t know if I can continue to watch) I just spent the last 30 seconds laughing about how I wasted 9 hours of my life for a story that has no direction. I *seriously* don’t know what is happening at this point of the story, much less where the story is going. I’m wondering how this can drag on for 7 more episodes. It seems the concept changes every episode.
What’s even happening?! ????
This could have been a good show. I’ll more than likely force myself to finish it.
I will drag that out as long as possible.
