10/10 first half... then it just became meh
W is honestly incredible. Even though the drama lost its spark in the second half, I don't think you'll regret watching it - Both the story and the acting is phenomenal and the ending is very satisfying.
I love the story, it had me at the edge of my seat and made me feel all kinds of feelings. I was so invested from the very beginning. I usually have to fight through 1 and a half episodes before i start liking a show but THIS had me from the start. Honestly amazing. It's like a fanfic brought to the screen, I love it. I don't think I've ever been this emotionally invested and happy watching a drama before. I've been both laughing and squealing in excitement at the screen, and I've also shut it because of unbearable second hand embarrassment - that's how invested I was lol
The actors were incredible as well. They really brought the story to life. Han Hyo Joo and Lee Jong Suk were amazing together, great chemistry. Kim Eui Sung also did a really good job.
However... I would have been more than satisfied with this drama being half its length, I'd actually prefer it. After that 8th episode it went downhill. The story just spun out of control and the same problems started repeating themselves - It became uninteresting. But i fought through it bc i really really loved the first half and couldn't just abandon it. I'm really glad i kept watching though because I'm very satisfied with the ending. The ending doesn't make up for the second half of the drama being pretty bad though. Even so, I'm currently re-watching the first half bc it's just THAT good. Go watch it!
