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).
