No wonder W is one of the more iconic kdramas of the new era. It's high concept and way ahead of its time with the parallel worlds and cartoon characters transported into the real world. Even the visuals, how they depicted the webtoon stuff blending into real world stuff is impressive. It may not have executed all it set out to do without hiccups, but I had lots of fun going along for the ride.

Among writer Song Jae Jung dramas, I still have a soft spot for Memories of the Alhambra the most, yes it's also a mess, but maybe I watched it first, and Hyun Bin! He might be more well-known and dreamy in CLOY, but he was so good in Alhambra. I loved the Alhambra romance, but wished it had more like W, where the OTP felt more epic, Kang Chul and Oh Yeon Joo have been through a lot.

I love how the W romance has a little bit of everything: time-travelling partner concept, and pining for a loved one who lost memories of you, which I'm weak for. Song Jae Jung is partial to her 'very very nice to a fault' heroines but I have to admit Han Hyo Joo's Oh Yeon Joo had more to do, than Park Shin Hye in Alhambra. Solid W cast: Lee Jong Suk is still the undisputed king of aegyo acting, and tortured heroine Han Hyo Joo was good, but dad Kim Eui Sung shone the most doing dual roles.

I admit it got a bit all confusing there towards the end, with new 'out of nowhere' rules being introduced to make each episode more exhilarating, but this is such a breakthrough kdrama that I can forgive it for that. W just cements the fact I'll always be how 'Oh Yeon Joo is to Kang Chul' at every Song Jae Jung drama: I'll be the sucker fan who'll wish for her drama's happy ending, despite all the ??? in the end.
