Perfect !

I love this one so much ! Still one of my favorite after all this year. This is so original, i have personnaly never seen something that refreshing, funny, with action, romance, and good twist.
I am quite shocked of the reviews or comments, i things it was even better because until the end it didn't went in the way we wanted, it's more suprising and interesting.

I will watched it again, even if i already watch it too much i think...

First of all, don't get me wrong. I do like Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Jo. They are one of my favorite talents. But this drama has too many loopholes in the story. I cannot find myself to like both of the main lead and neither I can find their chemistry at all. I find the romance is being too forced and does not make any sense at all. For example like the true main heroine of the manhwa So Hee, how can she get pushed away by a mysterious girl that just show up? The writer is very sloppy in creating the plots with a lot of unexplained things like why the female lead was summoned in the beginning and then the no face killer. And how come the no face killer has awareness? I thought the story focuses on Kang Chul? I also find the story is also being dragged too long with so many weird romance filler. I mean the manhwa is a mystery genre, but then turn to be a really weak mystery genre. I don't feel any suspense at all. I find the idea is nothing new and not all that groundbreaking (maybe in k drama this is the first time about cross world manhwa theme but the plot with the no face killer thing, I find the plot is easy to recognize). I find myself being really impatient and skip so many scenes.  -______-" I know this drama is a hit but at the end, I just can't find myself liking it.

Oh wow, W is a favorite.

The story line was unique and how the story unfolded was great. I seriously clapped my hands when I finished the drama in the shortest possible time.

Bravo to the writer of W. I thought how did he think that every twist and turn would work?

I saw a few dramas of similar genre afterwards and I did not feel the same way as W. I was not lured in the story like W did to me.

Thank you cast and crew of W!

I would HIGHLY recommend this drama to EVERYONE

I LOVE everything about this drama, it's the first (K/C/T/J) drama I've re-watched and will rewatch many more times without getting sick of it. It still blows my mind when I think about the plot of this drama, especially from Kang Chul's perspective, how this random woman (Yeon Joo) came to his world only to litterally be the "key to his life" in every way.

This is my favourite Kdrama and my favourite cross dimension drama. It is also the only cross dimension drama I've seen where there aren't any plot holes and where the main characters travel back and forth between the two dimensions several times. All the episodes are VERY detailed, relevant and much more fast paced than I remember it being. There are a total of 16 episodes in this drama, and it was the PERFECT length for this drama to develop and conclude with a satisfying ending.

The main leads, Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo had amazing chemistry and visuals, they looked so good together. I loved how all the side characters were relevant to the plot. They may not be relevant throughout the drama, but they had their roles to play, and when they came in, they became a major part of the plot, especially the villains. The OST fit really well with the romamce/thriller of the drama. I loved all of the cast, they were perfect for all their roles. Main leads aside, Kim Eui Sung was amazing as Oh Sung Moo who had some of the best plot twists and most unexpected character developments.

This drama has everything and will fit several genres including: romance, mystery, thriller, fantasy, sci-fi, action, psychological, medical and comedy. It's such a well rounded drama that I HIGHLY recommend to everyone.

"W" stands for wow, wonderful and wickedly exciting. This drama was a roller coaster ride, it starts off with a bang with the FL being pulled into the webtoon world to and saves the ML. Then it gets kind of sweet where you see the leads relationship start and develop then back on the roller coaster as the story unfolds. I just finished this drama last night and I think it's the 31st drama that I have watched and I have to say that I am truly sad this one is over. I fell in love with the leads, their lives and their story. There is no shortage of surprised in this drama and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Watch this drama if you want an exciting story.

DAMN. This plot had everything I'd ever dreamt of, as a fangirl who'd spent late nights reading fanfiction and dreaming about fictional characters. Except it was a thousand times better because there were so many twists and turns that I didn't see coming. As the title says, the plot was absolute genius and I loved how the plot twists actually built upon one another.

To be honest, though, I might have enjoyed the first half better than the second, mainly because of one huge plot twist that broke my heart and never really got resolved the way I wanted it to. Still, it was hard to stop watching.

Soo Bong was probably my favorite character. Though he was so minor, the character development was there, and he was ALWAYS relatable.

Last thing: I swear this drama has like the longest and slowest car rides ever?? ESPECIALLY when the characters are in a rush...

Already rewatching

I have to mention this was one of first 20 kdramas I've watched, now, after watching sooo many kdramas(prolly over 250) I feel the need to rewatch this. I LOVED the story, the acting, and the way the idea was displayed.Have a great time everyone that's watching!
The actors were great, back then I didn't knew them too well, now that I've seen them in all the other dramas they played i really wanna go back and refresh my memory with this heart racing drama, btw bring tissue box as well, meanwhile going to get some popcorn😁

My reaction after i watch this drama is "wait, what? i watched 16 episodes just for this ending?"

even the doctor on that drama hate the story and the ending, although he is a fan of W webtoon. even the narrator said that they have an usual and boring ending.. i just feel the same with the narrator and that doctor.. i feel disappointed.. it start good, but keep getting worse in every episode.. the final episode is the worst part..

(in the beginning, i think it has simmilar concept with chalkzone cartoon concept. so i have big expectation on this drama. But the rules in this drama is too messy and random)

This review may contain spoilers

There's so much going on

This show started off very strong for me. It hooked me instantly and i was drawn in by the different twists it had. But eventually, i noticed that the twists were way too much. The issue became "can I trust what the show is telling me?" simply because people died just to come back to life, people weren't who you thought they were, characters with memory loss, there was an ending but it wasn't the real ending. It was a lot. It was so much, that I went from watching every single day to at the last 4 episodes, i stopped watching it for 2 weeks. Every time I thought about finishing it, it felt like a chore because I knew I would spend the next four hours watching a show that I wouldn't be able to trust until the last 15 minutes of the last episode....which is exactly what happened. The last four hours is filled with information you don't need because it's essentially negated/overruled in the last 15 minutes.

This isn't to say it's a bad show, because it's not. It's just A LOT. Surprisingly, with all the different storyline changes, it wasn't hard to follow. The writing is done very well. Unfortunately, the amount of twists was the problem. The twists made sense, but there were just too many. Another thing is because of the amount of twists, I didn't really get to see why kang chul liked/loved oh yeon joo. I didn't get it. They barely had time together that was meaningful. Most of it was her slapping him, then them being on the run, or their lives were threatened (don't forget he also lost his memories of their time together). Also, he never outright called her pretty. He never fully compliments her. It made me feel like he didn't really like her. He even asked his bodyguard if she was considered pretty because he himself didn't know. I get it's supposed to be a joke, but he's also supposed to be the guy who risked his life to save her. He can do all that, but draws the line at considering her beautiful??

At the end, because of the different rules and variables put in place, there seemed to be an easier ending. But of course, all the characters had to overlook it for the sake of plot. In all, there were very many tropes thrown into one show. and though they were executed well, it was just far too many to make the ending satisfying. instead of being sad it's over, i'm upset it didn't happen sooner.

This drama was very interesting and new in the first place, I was looking forward this drama every week. I even saw the raw version before watching it with engsub. However, the other half of this drama is going down. It is very confused and it is very difficult to follow the story. It lost its logic.

About acting. The male leads have average acting. Both of them are not stiff but while Lee Jong Suk cannot express the complex feeling when he realized he is manhwa character, Han Hyo Joo cannot cry. It felt like she pretends to cry. The good thing is LJS and HHJ have great chemistry.

I am disappointed with both Wednesday and Thursday dramas ( Two worlds and Uncontrollably fond). While Two worlds is confused, UF is very slow.

Ce drama est vraiment "LE DRAMA DE L'ANNEE 2016" à ne pas manquer. Ok je ne fais pas de "Spoil" mais allez le voir, bon vous avez de la chance maintenant tous les épisodes sont sortis (vous allez vite comprendre en le regardant).
Pleins de rebondissement, d'inattendu.
Le sujet n'est pas ordinaire et les acteurs jouent vraiment très très bien, on ne sait jamais à l'avance ce qu'il va se passer dans l'histoire. Bon visionnage en gros !
Attention c'est un "Policier Thriller" ça bouge ... si vous n'aimez pas ce genre passez votre chemin.

I love how original and cool of the plot that this drama has. Having a world inside of webtoon. wow! Hahah so ok, 'W' was an originally sci-fi drama because it was about having a world inside of a webtoon or a comicbook. But actually it was not just a sci fi, the drama also has other ingridients such as love story, suspense, comedy, and melodrama scenes. This was not another typical drama so if you're not into sci fi or fantasy genre type of movies and dramas, well this is not your cup of tea because the story was kinda' complicated and messy.

The first half of the drama will make your heart beats twice on its regular beating and will move your butt on your seat like there was something inside on it. That's how thrilling and electrifying this drama was.

The second half of this drama was kinda' complicated. At first I'm not into it just like other drama addicts but since I watched a lot of sci fi hollywood movies and dramas as well, I didn't drop this. I continue watching and surprisingly, the fall down of the story had make sense after watching few more episodes. I thought they just want to extend it but it doesn't seems like it. They were trying to put some twist on the drama that would make it different than any other and I want to congratulate them because they didn't fail! The story didn't go totally down the drain because it rose up again and was higher than the first half.

What I hate about this was they didn't elaborate completely what happened to the other characters of the webtoon.

The acting of Lee Jung Seuk was great as always. But Han Hyu Joo have made another type of acting. She did the "underacting" technique. Maybe she was been told about it or it was on the script. You can see that her character was so lame but knowing her previous shows, I know she was a good actress. Kim Ei Sung was the best actor in this drama for me. He can instantly change one character to another with completely different personality. He deserves a recogntion for this.

Overall this is a good drama! if you want something different, something extraordinary, then watch this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
