If the beginning was a little weak to me, a little clumsy, the rest of the show is outstanding.
Romance lovers, you will be satisfied. Fantasy lovers, you will be satisfied. Comedy lovers, you will be satisfied. If you are seeking for suspense, you will be satisfied as well. This show has everything for itself.
The main characters are no weak nor strong. They are human and don't have all the clichés characteristics lots of characters have in K-dramas.
The OST is incredible and I keep listening to it occasionally.
I will definitely rewatch it.

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.

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?

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.
