If you have not seen the original W: Two Worlds and are thinking about watching this then I would highly recommend you don't. While this drama is a mini series and will only take a little under 4 hours to complete it also a very watered down version that follows the exact same story (minus the ending). In order to conform to the short nature of a mini drama there is a lot of information cut out in this that would actually make it pretty confusing if you aren't already familiar with the story. But most importantly is that what the original version of this show is best at is suspense and keeping you on the edge of your seat. Since this follows the same story line then it goes through the same events but in a fast forward kind of way with no real context or build up which won't leave you feeling anything and will ruin the effect of watching the original for the first time.

As for the production of this series it was really mediocre. The performances felt wooden from the cast, there were some scenes that were so bright it was hard to watch, the sound effects and music weren't incorporated well or were too sparse, and the wardrobe choices felt weird at times. I believe this show was created more for fans of W to reminisce but it just falls very flat.
