The story, without the spoilers.
Oh Yeon-joo is a surgeon whose father creates a famous webtoon called W. One day she is dragged into the comic itself, into the world of Kang Chul, a handsome, brilliant and impossibly perfect hero who has survived tragedy after tragedy on the page. When she saves his life, the story itself begins to change, and the line between creator and character starts to collapse. W: Two Worlds is a wild, inventive fantasy thriller. The first half is thrilling, with clever ideas about what happens when a character realises he is being written. The second half gets complicated, and the rules of the two worlds do not always hold together. But Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo are compelling, the visuals are stylish, and the central idea — what if the hero of a story wanted to escape it? — is genuinely exciting. Watch it for the imagination, and forgive it the tangles.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
