The Story: A world inside another world !! and it’s not just any world, it’s a webtoon/web-comic characters vs. characters in real world .. I LOVE IT !!!

because I love unique crazy concepts like this, it's different.. It’s not the same type of rom-com dramas - which I have to admit, I love watching them from time to time - BUT also I love watching a real drama with so many plot twists ! I mean who doesn’t ?

And “W: Two Worlds” had the spark, the cliff hanger, and the crazy story that makes you always don't know what’s gonna happen in the next 5 minutes !!

the only problems that I had with this drama, that slight moments when it was about to get repetitive in one point but the writer got him/herself together in one episode - thank god - .. plus I did like the way it ended, but I think it could have been done better than that !

The Actors: * Lee Jong Suk as Kang Chul: he’s on my top actors in Kdramas list, not because his looks, but he is really great actor, watching him since his small role in “Secret Garden” to his big lead role in “I Hear Your Voice” to my one of favorite dramas “Pinocchio”, that man has the skills to portray his characters very well, and he knows how to choose his dramas very well !

* Han Hyo Joo as Oh Yeon Joo : it’s my first time watching her in a drama ! but I gotta say the sad decisions she made - you know what I mean if you watched it - was like a knife in my heart, she made me feel bad for all she had been through even though it’s just a drama, especially in the last 8 eps I guess of the drama, she was really good.

* Kim Eui Seong as Oh Sung Moo: Oh! that man I watched him in “Six Flying Dragons”, and now I watched him in “W: Two Worlds”.. and I have to say I LOVE HIM MORE IN W .. it doesn’t mean that you are old that you can’t slay in a drama.. HE SLAYED :D I don’t know but he really was AMAZING .. did you watch him the last episode?! LIKE damn.. my feelings was all over the floors because of him !! and I really loved all of his scenes with Jong Suk and the development in his character through the drama.. HE WAS GREAT !!!

and Shout Out to all the Support Roles in this Drama who did amazing job too such as: ( Lee Shi Eon as Soo Bong / Jung Eugene as Soo Hee / “and the one that I wish they give him a lead role in a drama before I die” Lee Tae Hwan as Do Yoon .. Plus that crazy fanboy professor of Oh Yeon Joo :D :D unfortunately I don’t know his name )

Music: I didn’t like the songs because I guess I don’t remember any of them !! Sorry~

Rewatch Value: Definitely worth Rewatching Again and Again !!!

- An all time favorite
- Most unique, strong, complex, and on your toes story line/plot
- Popular, strong, talented, and wisely chosen cast
- Perfect mixture of romance, action, comedy, thriller, fantasy, and mystery


- Would have been perfected with better music
- This could have been a 20 episode drama, but with such a great story line with rich content in each episode I am satisfied. I prefer a 16 episode drama that has rich and important content throughout all 16 episodes rather than have pointless scenes that prolonged the drama for 20 episodes unnecessarily.
- You will always want more in each drama and wish for more this and that, however, I've found my number 1 drama. (finally)

I'm too lazy to write a review. This is the first kdrama I've ever watched (I guess Dramaworld doesn't count because it's not actually a kdrama), and I don't think anything will top this show. THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST DRAMA I'VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. This show made me fall in love with Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo... Because of this show, I wanna watch other kdramas, especially those with Jong Suk and Hyo Joo in the main cast.

SILLIEST SURGEON EVER

This is what I call the most unprofessional immature silliest doctor that comes with one of most difficult profession that requires so much education, professionalism, training, maturity and critical thinking but this woman blew it all by her ridiculous stupidity. I don't buy it...seriously...She's beautiful but so annoying acting...ugh! Drama was full exaggeration bad acting, so much sighing/panting, dialog delivered loud.

Story line was ridiculous, beyond dense fantasy imagination:
Oh Sung Moo the comic creator famous 'W', the father of residence cardiothoracic surgeon Oh Yeon Joo, mysteriously went missing while writing the last chapter of his webtoon "W". Yeon Joo went to his office looking, but a hand from his monitor suddenly pulled her in, and she found herself on the rooftop of a hotel, next to a bloodied man (Lee Jong-Suk). She managed to save the person, only to realized that he's Kang Cheol, the main character of her father's webtoon as she's transferred to the different dimension of comic life. Yeon Joo later discovered she can only enter and leave the webtoon depending on Kang Cheol's feelings. Some twists and adding plots, Kang Cheol went in to the reality world and learned that her father was the one who's been trying to kill him by any means to end webtoon. Some more twists and changing plots, they're together as married couple, then it wasn't - back and forth in both world.

Kang Cheol (Park Jung-Suk)
He's the eye candy, gorgeous young single rich man who looked for the murderer of his family, been through much in his younger self as he's being accused and jailed as the main suspect of murder. As a perfect sharpshooter, he gained his wealth by doing many businesses, life was great luxuries. He just didn't understand much when he did something he felt like the urge without sense, why someone kept trying to end his life without indication of traces. He then realized he's actually the main character of comic, authored by Oh Sung Moo whose intention to end the story as he wanted to stop getting pull into the comic himself. Mysteriously the comic created itself without the author knowing how and it kept 'to be continue' for the next chapter again and again magically. Some other intervention from different (ghostly) 'being' recreating this comic.....I would know if I'd continue watching. I think only Park Jung-Suk that wasn't yelling when he delivered his dialog, that's his positive beside his good look.

I started out loving this drama. It was a unique concept. In the beginning, I totally understood the hype. It was a nice blend of funny/sweet/fantasy/suspense. I would have given the show a solid 9 at least.

However... around episode 7, I couldn’t follow the story at all. It’s a complete mess. I’m at episode 9 (I seriously don’t know if I can continue to watch) I just spent the last 30 seconds laughing about how I wasted 9 hours of my life for a story that has no direction. I *seriously* don’t know what is happening at this point of the story, much less where the story is going. I’m wondering how this can drag on for 7 more episodes. It seems the concept changes every episode.

What’s even happening?! ????


This could have been a good show. I’ll more than likely force myself to finish it.

I will drag that out as long as possible.

This drama is a hot mess. I put this drama off for two years, can’t believe all the hype it got. Finally got around to it and it’s a laughable piece of garbage. There’s no real plot just a hot mess. Nine hours of my life gone. So disappointed. Started out as a great show then around episode 8 it started to make absolutely no sense, I decided to keep trying and just stopped at 9. This drama truly had the potential to be one of the best dramas I ever watched, until it became I total hot mess. If you decide to watch, there is a high chance you won’t continue after episode 8 Total hot mess.

This drama was so all over the place

Wow was this disappointing! The premise sounded really interesting which is what made me want to watch it in the first place. It starts off as such a great thriller and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. But! It hit episode 3 and I started to wonder where else it could possibly go. I felt like they had covered an entire season's worth of plot in a few episodes. Then it just started to derail and it never recovered. The actors were good and the sets were pretty, but this great concept was poorly executed.

What a roller coster...

This drama started really strong for me, I was enjoying it so much, the plot was intriguing, the cast was so well picked and it made me glued to the screen. However the rest of the drama was kinda disappointing, and didn´t live for my initial expectations, to be fair is not like it was bad and maybe it isn´t just my style, but the sudden plot twists and the 'backs and forth' left me annoyed and the drama became at some point all of the same, you could even prevent what was going to happen because of how predictable it was, it just gave the impression like it wasn´t well thought or planned and that the actor just did whatever it came to his mind with no logic whatsoever. Aside from that, it had the right portion of funny moments but also dramatic ones, it was an interesting idea of a story and overall worked pretty well with some gaps in the execution.

the drama is good, i liked the acting and the general plot was really interesting. however i felt things were slightly rushed towards the end and dragged in the middle.... some of the romantic scenes were SO good, my heart fluttered and i don't even like rom-coms that much. i guess it's the lee jong suk effect. he was really good btw, whenever he expressed his emotions it felt so real and raw! he's really charming and draws you in!
about the actress playing yeon joo, i liked her, the acting was nice, didn't feel like she was going overboard when depicting an emotional scene. however, i just wished her character was somehow... idk... BETTER?? seriously disliked the fact that she didn't have much to do other than romance, doing emotional scenes and following what other characters told her to do... i don't want to be unnecessarily harsh though, bc i know this is how it works in the drama world lol.
all the other actors did an amazing job, especially oh seong moon and han seol!! they both played their roles with convinction!
the plot was really interesting, i personally never watched anything like this so it felt very original and well done!! i just wished the writing was better in some parts, but otherwise the whole story was pretty interesting and engaging. you don't feel like dropping the drama at all!!
the music was nice, not amazing, not bad... didn't LOVE it but didn't dislike it either, so it was average for me.
rewatch value? maybe no, because i don't watch the same thing again twice lol, and anyways you know all the twists, it wouldn't feel like the first time. but it is a good and engaging drama to watch, hence if you're hesitating, you should definitely give it a try!!
for me it's a 7/10!
