W and Nine are written by the same writer, Song Jae-jung, in which she managed to establish unique concepts in creating the world of both dramas. Even though W has only aired two episodes, it delivered a very intriguing and interesting story just like Nine. The two dramas have different plot (Nine is a time travel themed while W revolves in the fictional world of a comic character) but I must say, they actually resembles each other in the way that suspense, humor, and romance has a nice balance on the way the writer tells the story while still focusing on the fantasy element of the drama.

I don't know why but for me they seemed similar, I think it was the "supernatural/fantasy" aspect, if you liked Abyss I'm sure you'll like W too.

Both dramas have crossworlds travel between the world of an action novel/manga with a suffering protagonist fated to be killed, and the real world of the writer.

They have a very similar feel. Both are dramas with unpredictable stories, dark plot, mysterious antagonists and plot twists.

In both the ML (played by Lee Jong Suk) is falsely accused of a crime that he didn't do and he tries to prove his innocence by exposing the real villain.

Both of the stories are really unpredictable. W and Liar Game (Korean Remake) Keep you hanging, although W has 16 episodes and Liar game has 12 episodes.. which is really sad because I wished it was longer...

Both about two differents worlds and the female lead moving from her world to another. FL meeting someone who helps her in need and there is a secret about the 2 worlds that the leads are working to solve.

W contains romance, while Derailment is still ongoing drama so I don`t know yet if it has any romance at all.

Both dramas involve characters in the real world existing in a fictional one/a parallel on. Both take place primarily in a comic book/fictional story universe where the female leads know it is fictional and are trying to change end of the story.

both have a male lead who is not a real human

Recommended by Snow_Hikari
Both female leads are doctors with similar personality types. They both get transported to another realm/time period. While Faith is more of a medical drama and sageuk, W is more of a modern day romantic comedy.
Recommended by Misunderst0_od
Both have male protagonists that were framed for their family murders and were unjustly imprisoned. They both struggle to bring the truth to light.
Recommended by Geanina
Both involve travelling to a different world, changing the story in that alternative world and falling in love with one of the characters there.
