W - Two Worlds Apart (2016)

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...

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)

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.

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!

The story of this was originally what pulled me in, it was creative and something entirely new being introduced to the k-drama land. During the first few episodes, the plot was executed quite well - it was something that hooked viewers and kept them on edge. An hour was extremely short, it almost felt as if each episode was 20 minutes and each episode had a cliffhanger. They left you wanting more. However, as the romance became a main storyline everything started to become messy. Too many plots and conflicts were introduced and it was almost confusing. It felt like the writer rushed to get a ton of ideas in with only 16 episodes. Hence the rating of 8.5.

As being an avid fan of Lee Jong Suk's acting and a sucker for character development, I was extremely excited to see how the characterization would pan out. Needless to say, I was both disappointed and immensely satisfied by the end of the drama. All in all, Han Hyo Joo's character and acting turned out to be the biggest let down. I went in expecting a strong and independent female lead with so much potential, as she was in the beginning. However, as it dragged on more and more the only characterization I got from her was Kang Chul's girl. Also, her acting was almost always over exaggerated or awkward.

Kang Chul's character pretty much had little development, although having much potential for so much more. Which also limited Jong Suk's acting to that. It was a pity and disappointing with the way the writer went about those two.

Surprisingly though, the character that managed to be the dark horse was Kim Eui Sung who played Oh Seong Mo. It was absolutely phenomenal, I found myself pitying him one moment to hating him. Whenever he was on the screen I was completely at the edge of my seat. This particular role gives the drama catharsis and does it extremely well. Besides a couple other characters with the means of comic relief, the rest do not really strike as memorable nor interesting.

There wasn't many OSTs, as just a couple were used -- not one of these songs left an impact or were noteworthy. However, the music used did play an extremely good role in setting the mood.

Overall, this k-drama was extremely entertaining and a good run. Would recommend it, especially if you need a time filler!
