Obviously, because this is a romance, Yeon Joo and Chul soon develop feelings for each other. Things become even more dangerous and complicated when Yeon Joo herself begins getting entangled in the fictional world. Eventually, however, she learns the disturbing reason behind her father’s apparent irrationality: the webtoon, and Chul himself, have a life and will of their own and Seong Moo, who has been getting sucked into the fictional world ever more often, is terrified of being swallowed whole by it. Yeon Joo, who’s a major Chul fangirl, can’t understand at first why her father would want to kill him off. She disappears back into the real world before he regains consciousness, but keeps being sucked back into the webtoon world, always right on time to save Chul from another of her father’s murderous plans. He draws a scene where Chul is stabbed by a mysterious figure, but his plan is foiled when Yeon Joo is sucked into the webtoon world and rescues Chul in the nick of time. W (the webtoon, not the drama), is written and drawn by Yeon Joo’s father and follows rich boy vigilante Chul as he attempts to find the culprit who murdered his family one fateful night.ĭespite the webtoon’s popularity, Yeon Joo’s father, Seong Moo, plans to abruptly end it by having Chul killed off. As the title suggests, it’s about two different worlds: the real world, where the main character Oh Yeon Joo lives, and the fictional world of a famous webtoon named W, where our other main character Kang Chul is the protagonist. W: Two Worlds originally aired from July 2016 to September 2016. Where do the ideas come from? What does it cost to bring them to life? What are the consequences? I really enjoy these kinds of meta stories, so of course I was immediately drawn to W: Two Worlds. Often, these stories are about creators and their work, and they force us to think about the very process it takes to make the books, movies, and comics that we consume.
And then there are stories that are about, well, stories. There are stories about love, revolution, trauma, or all of these things at once.
