This is my first ever review of Korean Dramas. I watch them from few years. I watched almost every genres. My favortie are mostly Criminal, Business, Supernatutal, Psychology and Fantasy. Romance in them is between the lines. So, what about W? I really wanted to express my opinion. First of all I want to APPLAUSE the Writer. It is really hoooking to not know what will happen in next episodes and that gave big positive points for me. Most of K-dramas are really predictable starting from first 1-3 episodeds. In almost ALL Koreand Dramas the beginning is strong and the ending is not. I don't know if this is the lack of money, ideas or shooting time. I also want to APPLAUSE the actor who played the Father of main female lead. He deserves a lot of prizes and for sure he SAVED the show from bigger downfall. Also, W inspired me to begin drawing on my digital tablet. Scenario/ Writing; The story for two worlds is great. I always dreamed to draw manga or live in another world. It was great to see this FRESH idea released in K-drama that wasn't mainly focused on Romance and Cinderella stories. The writing is great because I didn't know what happen in next episodes and I was enthusiastic about this drama every week. Really, I loved all the plot twists. Gleat story and ideas, not so good developed in the end. Story Progression: First 10 episodes were really Great and I loved them all, after that it was downfall for me. I loved the dynamic in stories, the intense and the unpredictable stories. The clear goals and limits that characters had. The story progression had no unexplained holes until the end. It was captivating and interesting to watch time traveling and different things happened for a time. Music: Good music I can say. Acting: The acting wasn't good, really. I didn't feel the characters and it seems the actors didn't go deep in the roles. The expresiion of Main Lead Character always is like cold manga character, it didnt show any emotions even in most intimate moments. . Proboably this was meant to be based on writers. The main lead is really handsome, but looks like a statue in some points of the show. The main female was a bit better then the role - more emotions and expressions, but it seemed really FAKE. But the main female is beautiful lady of course. The BEST acting was from the actor who plays the Father of Main female lead. -Kim Eui Seong. He deserves really a prize for his acting. It was splenidid and he really felt his characters. He lived really in his role. I admire him and his attitude toward the acting. Relationships Development: It wasn't sincere development of Romance relationships, it seemed FORCED and unreal as it should stayed I think... The best relatonship development was betweem the father and the daughter. This moved my heart and really touched me. I even cried of some scenes between the Father and Ddughter. This seemed real and was emotionally powerful. Charracters: Kang Chul - Standard rich boy, but the good was he had High Willt. He has strong feeliing for Justice and that made him a bit out of ordinary rich boy and playeer in Kdramas characters. Oh Yeon Joo - in the beginning she seemed strong and out of ordinary stupidly daydreaming girls. In the end I am not sure how to call her - egoist or a person who want to pleasure all around her and to not sacrifice anything.But all in all she was way better than Standard stupidly smiling and waiting girls for their Man to call them. She at least was a great as doctor and succeed on her own. Supporting characters are really great and I love almost them all. Especially Yoon Joo's boss Start: Strong Start that blowed my mind for first 10 episodes. I thought it will be like this till the end but I was wrong. I didn't know what will happen next nad I waited with big enthusiasm for the next episode. End: I can say I met a loosy end with this Drama - really boring and predictable end for me. Too much false tears and awaitings. Far away from first purposes of character's live and even the change wasn't sincere developed, also Fake - in relationships and in lie. Chemistry Well, the main leads have really great chemistry, but they didn't play it well within the characters they played - they seemed forced to do some things and didn't enjoy them. Life lessons: Doing the best you can and let go the things when you need to let them go. Also, there are different worlds in everyone's eyes and lives, you should respect and try to understand and see them well.. All in all it was enjoyable drama, different from standard and known KDrama scenarios I watched till now. But in the end a lot of things stood unexplained - how come Yeon Soo's mother didn't ever bothered to know more? and a lot of questions about that. In the end they were a lot of story holes that we can just imagine to understand better.
