W

The first k-drama i watched and the one who made me want to continue watching them.
The concept itself is intriguing, the main characters are really well acted in a way is never cringy and every episode leaves you wanting more.
But i found myself really disapointed on episode 15 and 16, the build up and tesion created from episodes before made the ending felt flat and confusing.
The best was the acting and while the writting of the main couple could have been better the chemistry between both actors was nice.
Overall i still enjoy it and even recommend it for the people who start watching dramas and want to have a good time or at least be entrainted because you defently are.

Started to watch because of Lee Jong Suk stayed also for him and the plot

I really enjoyed the show and watched it in three days. Sorry university assignments... The story was so immersing I wanted to know what would happen next. What has the writer planned next? I have read that some people disliked the second part of the story and I can understand that. I also think the first part of the story was much more well written. Why does it almost always feel like K-dramas start really strong but near the end the story flops?

Before this drama I watched Extraordinary You. Both have the same idea that the story is manhwa related. The setting is slightly different though. Not going to write anymore about EY since spoilers but personally I liked W's setting more. In W there is a popular manhwa called W that is thriller. The main character has tragic past and is trying to find the killer who murdered his family. He is millionaire who has a strong sense of justice, is good looking and popular with ladies. Sounds interesting thriller and action manhwa that I would read. If the manhwa is connected to real world the story could go to any way right?

So of course they don't write the story that would be more interesting in my opinion. They emphasize romance over the thriller. And the romance isn't even that well written. Don't get me wrong. I didn't dislike the female lead. I just think that the chemistry wasn't that strong. Also Kang Chul's character changes too much when he falls in love with the female lead. I dislike the fact that one woman becomes his top priority when he could have had also other things he could have focused on. Of course love as well but not as the main thing. Imagine if they would have written passionate sexual relationship between the main leads (then the female lead should be different) and kept Kang Chul in character. Not as a sweet romantic type. But I guess they wanted to take the poorly written romance path then. In my opinion they wasted Kang Chul's potential as a character. He was still awesome though.

Nonetheless I was still addicted to the drama. Wanted to see more of hot Lee Jong Suk as Kang Chul. Wanted to find out who was the killer. Wanted to know how W (the manhwa) ends. W was really enjoyable ride with plot holes and twists here and there. It wasn't perfect and I felt a bit betrayed by the drama but that's usually what happens with K-dramas so nothing new. My final verdict is that the drama would have been a lot better if the romance part would have been different. Maybe not so high lighted. I think I'm going to rewatch the show at some point for getting more clear picture about it.

W : a wonderful show but a bad execution

Honestly, this show kept me hooked im not gonna lie. it was very good, especially at the start but it all started going down once the storyline kept getting dragged and there were plot holes everywhere.

Whilst the romance was good, there was very less character development on the FL's side and her work seemed unrealistic, she was a cardiothoracic surgeon i don't think she'd have that much free time but then again its all fictional.

Kang Chul's storyline was very nice, hence why i have the story a 9/10, would've been 10 if it didn't have so many plot holes and it wasn't dragged.

The ending was okay? it left me a little disappointed but from what i remember (i watched this long time ago) it had a good ending so i cannot complain on that behalf.

The actors... the ML's acting was incredible but the FL... meh not that plausible but it was still good enough. All the other characters seemed pretty okay.

Now the main reason i have this an 8 was because of the rewatch value. This may not apply to everyone but i had a very hard time watching this. I kept skipping parts or speeding them up and I'd constantly stop the episodes and come back. It was either in the filler episodes or when things would get too spicy. Eitherways i wouldn't re-watch it again. I don't think its cause of the psychological aspect cause for example It's okay not to be okay focuses on psychology and its much deeper than W but unlike W, id rewatch IONTBO a million times.

I just think that it could've been better but i still remember that i enjoyed this and i binged watched it too so it couldn't have been that bad. It was just the continuous plot holes and the constant skipping of parts that makes me not want to re-watch it or rate it any higher than 8. Which by the way i think its a generous rating but i enjoyed it and the show made me cry so its okay. would recommend it but to your own risk!!

Some like, some hate, some moderately liked:I went through these three opinions

Honestly, it's very hard to review this drama because the opinions are very clear-cut: either we loved it, or we liked it a little, or we absolutely hated it.
Personally, I went through all these opinions while watching this drama.

I hated it:
- From the middle to the end of the story. It doesn't make sense anymore, we could finish the drama at episode 12
- The acting of the main actress, which sometimes is really bad. However, we see a real evolution of her acting in the drama. She is good at the end hm.
- The 15 min rewinds before each episode.

I loved it:
- The main actor is really excellent. I really didn't think he was great at the beginning but he is just made for this job and this role.
- The beginning of the story : I think the main plot is really good but the explanations are too bad.
- The fact that sometimes I was surprised and/or sad: some scenes really gave me chills etc.
- The FX but woooooooooow. The work of the artists is impressive!

Basically I wanted to put 5 but in truth I still had a good time and not listening to other reviews, this note is personal and only based on my feeling! The drama itself is not worth 7. I would not watch it again but I still wanted to finish this drama.

Strong start, weak finish

W - Two Worlds Apart had so much potential. In the first half or so, this potential was maximized. The pacing was just right, and there was a good mix of offbeat humor, romance, and suspense. The basic premise of the webtoon being a parallel reality was interesting, and both the male and female leads did a great job in their respective roles.

However, somewhere past the midway point, things began to get a bit repetitive. A few episodes near the end, the storyline transformed into something convoluted (particularly regarding the antagonists), the humor dwindled, and the show began to take itself so seriously that it was hard to ignore the unraveling plot. I, like most people, hung in there for the romance, but there wasn't too much of that in the latter half either.

I'm torn because the series is decent, borderlining on great. It's probably just a bit too long (should have been 12 episodes rather than 17).

The Author

I rewatched this recently and can't help but lament over again about the lost potential of the female lead and the story. I genuinely think that the story would have been much more interesting if the female lead was the author of the webnovel, that would make both the plot and her character much more interesting. Man, I would really like to see this story with that change.

It's not like her character would have been irredeemable, after all how could she have known that her creations would become sentient, at the same time, it would make her more complex and she'd have to face herself and the reasons why she made her main character experience tragedy after tragedy.

But alas, we got what we got.

story rehashing & People don't stay dead! Too many plot twists & turns.

All actors did a great job & I Would have rated it higher if it :
had ended at the end of Episode 12
, hadn't been so intense with more heart palpitating action than I anticipated &
didn't haave so many twists & turns that kept the storyline hard to keep track more often than not. The plot device that was both fun, yet also infuriating was that the characters could change the plot and the storyline retroactively. I was more than ready to be done by the end of episode 12....and if & when I rewatch this, I will stop at there as it's a happy enough ending place, because what follows, is clever, but overstuffed & unpleasantly gut wrenching. They cram in a dizzying amount of twists that really seemed unnecessary. Here's why stopping at episode 12 would have been a good option for me;How many times do the main characters have to end up in jail (doesn't once sound enough ? AND doesn't the amount of time there seem like it should be relatively short ? Apparently the writers though otherwise.How many times must characters die only to be revived ? Female lead's dad (the comic creator) is not really a good guy, but what happens to him & who decides what happens to him would have been better left not being so front & center. They created an impossible plot point.Bad guys who don't stay dead are a tired trope.Second villain's reason for wanting the male lead nihilated is weak at best.Rewrites that have the storyline ending the web series (the comic in the drama) ending it it's past (? yeah, what?)Episodes 1-12 have already given us quite a bit of gruesome violence as well as forced separation of the main couple. Episodes 13-16 just makes for a long drawn out messy (albeit happy) ending. Apparently, things can't end until the villain(s) are gone.The last episodes resulted in just being exhausting , but at least things are explained & some people may like being flung around plot wise yet again.

I liked it. It didn't catch my eyes like others but I think it's because I had seen him in another show not to long ago so I kept thinking of him in the show. Other than that, it's overall a good show. I think I've watched one too many of these fantasy ones but I like the chemistry between the characters and I liked the story line. I liked the love story and etc but I guess I was kind of bored at times, like it has you jumping out of your seat but I personally wasn't paying attention so I may have to come back and watch it again. It's a dope show with a good concept.
