Acting/Cast - 10/10: I don't have much to say about this because I feel like every character was just meant to be there. It's incredible how each actor/actress embodied their character. The father (artist/drawer) was amazing at his role!
Music - 10/10: The music in the drama gave me chills. Each ost was great. I personally liked the osts they put in during emotional scenes. It really added and gives the audiences the emotion. During the scary parts, they also had sounds in for that. There's really no words to describe how good it was.
Rewatch Value - 7/10: The only reason that this is pretty low is because I feel like if I watch this a second time, the same feelings I felt when I watched it the first time will not be the same. The excitement won't be there since I already know what's going to happen. I feel like if people do watch this though, they might be able to discover things they haven't seen in the first time but I'm the type to focus more on the emotions.
I would recommend this drama to literally everyone I know. It's the type that everyone would enjoy no matter what kind of genre you would like!

Great start but anticlimactic end
Started off well - really well. I'm very hugely into "isekai" and this drama predates the explosion of Korean isekai webtoons that made the genre itself extremely cliche and repetitive, so I'm surprised I put off watching this for this long. Premise aside, it started off meeting all my expectations and managed to stand out even in the vast sameness of the genre, but somewhere along the way, maybe around ep 10, it started getting repetitive and draggy. And that feeling of satisfaction that you get in a good ending was completely missing - when it finally ended it left me questioning the point of the last few episodes.Despite the very disappointing and anticlimactic ending, rating it up because I liked the leads and I liked the show enough to binge it through the night (at least upto ep 10) and I wanted to know how it ended badly enough that I finished it.
Ironically, the person I could most relate to post-end was her boss, Prof Park. His expression pretty much mirrored mine when I finished the show.

Too Cringe ?
Let me tell u why I didn't like this drama.......
1. The love story progressed way too fast. There were no sparks between the couple, and suddenly, they were confessing their love.
2. The unnecessary kissing scenes felt forced and out of place. Their kisses seemed sterile and flat. I get that couples kiss, but before they even confessed, he kissed her multiple times, and her reactions were bafflingly neutral—no shock, embarrassment , anger, or any discernible emotion.
3. I understand that people like the leads, and that's fair. However, the female lead overacted so much that it felt unnatural. She didn't come across as a real person but as someone acting. and I'd rather not even get started on the male lead's acting...( btw I loved her acting in Happiness and Moving but rom-com is not for her )
4. The constant time travel was unnecessary. The show started strong with the cartoon world concept, but the story felt like it was stuck in a loop and never progressed. Also, the secondary characters or supported characters were severely underused....
5. The first half was good, but the second half dragged on.
Maybe I'm spoiled by watching some great Japanese dramas and movies, but this kdrama was just too cringeworthy for me at times.....

Great idea, confused execution
This was a really fun and exciting idea, but although the first few episodes were good and got me hooked, I lost interest after it became clear that it was all style and no substance or solid plot - like a cool dream: feels like you've got a great story going on, until you try to write it down and realize it doesn't make sense. As others have said more eloquently, rules kept being set that were full of great potential, but then were broken or just fizzled away. The FL was kind of a limp noodle: she was given all this agency - like being able to draw new scenes and being invulnerable to bullets! - but instead of kicking ass with that, she just... fainted a lot and sighed and cried. And the ML wasn't much better. I liked him in a few scenes - when he discovers she wasn't lying about the cartoon, and when he meets Dad for the first time and rails against that - but he didn't really work for me as an action hero. He does this cute little corner-smile, because apparently that's the only part of his face that can actually move! - appropriately cartoony, but I wasn't buying why he was so keen to come out of the cartoon world, where he got to be a CEO with a nice car, and live with boring noodle-girl on no money. His secretary pal/almost-love-interest was a lot more attractive, and probably would have given him Option 4 instead of grocery shopping. I wish the side-characters had been developed more: they deserved more airtime than the romance. Overall, full marks for the idea and the general feel of it, but downvotes for the incoherency.Was this review helpful to you?
Why soooooooo many bad reviews!!
Before watching any drama I prefer reading spoiler free reviews and I was kinda disheartened by such bad reviews but this plot kept intriguing me but I was afraid of running into a bad drama but anyway I decided to give it a shotAnd I don't regret it rather I regret of thinking Even twice before watching
Ofcourse everyone will differ
But I'll tell you why it's a must match!!!
1. First of all the plot is mind-blowing
2. Excellent use of time and space
3. Amazing cinematography
4. Awesome caste
4. Satisfying ending(bit sad)
5. Such good and satisfactory theories explaining such occurings in the two worlds
6. Bit of a mysterious
7. Great acting
8. Fast paced
9. Not boring at all
10. Best kisses!!!
There are a lot of to and fro between the two worlds but there would always be hints clarifying which world it's showing
It's I must one of the most genius k drama I have ever seen
It's completely worth the watch!!!!

W - Two worlds
In my opinion plot for this drama was really something new. It is really a fun fantasy drama, there is, action, romance but also a time for crying. I am happy with the ending, Chemistry between Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo was perfect, I really like them as a couple. Cast's acting was also on point and many characters were likeable.Was this review helpful to you?

W DESERVES HIGH PRAISES!!!!
W deserves HIGH praise for its unique and inventive plot, which seamlessly blends elements of fantasy, romance, and suspense. One of the reasons why the drama is considered amazing is its creative narrative structure. The story revolves around a webtoon artist whose daughter gets entangled with his own creation when she discovers a parallel universe within the webtoon. Off the bat its shocking, you see things you dont expect things to see. And for me who goes into things blindly without looking at trailer or reviews THIS SHOCKED ME TO THE BONE! This concept of characters interacting with their creator and the world of fiction merging with reality adds a captivating and mind-bending layer to the plot. You never expect things, ever and I am usually so good at guessing whats going to happen, BUT IT DOESNT HAPPEN SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENES. The creator is literally showing off with how good this is, and its one of the best K-Dramas of all time... anyone can enjoy this.The drama successfully keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with its suspenseful and unpredictable storyline. The exploration of the consequences of actions in both the real and fictional worlds adds depth to the narrative and keeps the audience invested in the characters' fates. The seamless transitions between the two worlds and the challenges faced by the characters contribute to the overall sense of excitement and intrigue.
Just the few minutes you start to watch it, you dont feel like quiting, you want to really see it through.... I am also not used to watching things over and over again, I hate rewatching this I watch it once and then I am done... but this... this I watched so many times with sooo many different people.

Exciting Concepts, Messy Ending
Because of its widespread popularity, "W" has attracted lots of criticism. I quickly heard about the drama when I first got into them, but because of such negative criticism, I stayed away from it. I finally decided it was time, though, so here we are.
I don't want to sit on its problems for so long, so I'll just overview some of it. First of all, there are a great deal of plot holes and points of confusion that aren’t really explained (despite the somewhat prolonged ending). Despite this, I would still argue that the pacing of the show keeps you so invested that the plot holes aren’t so cumbersome, merely occurring because “the plot demands it.” The concepts and points the writers are making with the plot points are so interesting as well that it makes it easier to suspend your disbelief.
The second problem for me is the ending. It is very messy and much darker than the more intriguing first half. In fact, it is shockingly dark, in my perspective, which contrasts with some of the themes and purposes of the show. Juxtaposed with the even more confusing story line, the second half and its ending dropped my rating from an 8 to a 7.
As opposed to the popular opinion, I do not find Jong Suk Lee to be the best actor. Despite having an entire character laid out for him, his fake smiles and flat deliveries struck again. Even if you don’t love him as I don’t, this won’t deter your entertainment from the show. But as a side note, shout out to Eui Sung Kim who did a great job.
Because the show is absolutely entertaining. Every episode brings sometimes several new plot twists that you never see coming (mostly because they are never explained, but still). There is a more philosophical take on life that I haven’t seen much in K-dramas which was fresh and enjoyable.
So even though it isn’t perfect and is full of choppiness and “wait, what?” moments along the way, I would say this show is worth watching for its interesting take on writing and life.
Side note: my rewatch value is always my entertainment value because I hardly rewatch dramas. As always, I am so appreciative of the work and efforts of the cast and production team into making this show. It is a lot of work to put together any type of work of art; and we get to enjoy it! So big shout out to them and those making it available to us.

If the beginning was a little weak to me, a little clumsy, the rest of the show is outstanding.
Romance lovers, you will be satisfied. Fantasy lovers, you will be satisfied. Comedy lovers, you will be satisfied. If you are seeking for suspense, you will be satisfied as well. This show has everything for itself.
The main characters are no weak nor strong. They are human and don't have all the clichés characteristics lots of characters have in K-dramas.
The OST is incredible and I keep listening to it occasionally.
I will definitely rewatch it.
