W is a korean drama with a unique plot which allows us kdrama fans to enjoy something original and different from the usual dramas. The plot itself have made me anticipating for the drama's airing. So after completing it this is my review:-

Story:-
The good
Like I've said this korean drama has an intriguing plot which is the main factor which convinced me to watch this drama. I seriously love how the first episode made me hooked into this drama and as I watched, it exceeded my expectations on how beautifully written this drama is. The mystery in this drama is really thrilling and unpredictable. Every event seem to link with one another just like stars in the sky who seem to not be related but once connected, creates an image.

The bad
The first half of the drama was so awesome that the excitements seems to dissipate when it comes to the story development of the second half of the drama. Not saying that it became a terrible drama after the second half, but it is totally lacking the intensity and rationality. It seemed like the story is being rushed and too many twists have been put into it. Instead of enjoying the drama due to the abundance of plot twists, it made the viewer feel stressed.

Character Development:-
The characters were one of my favourite aspects of this drama especially Kang Chul. However I felt that his character actually fell flat after that. As for Oh Yeon Joo, sometimes I do like her character but sometimes I still don't understand how she fell in love with Kang Chul (same to Kang Chul's side) Probably they should include some narrations to explain their thoughts and feelings. Oh Seong Moo's character was well done for a villain. Sometimes, I find it hard to actually connect and feel the characters deeply because their actions are confusing (first half was good, second half was just meh)

Overall:-
This drama started off as a full 10 for me but I took 0.5 marks out of it because the story went downhill. I still can't forget the awesomeness of the drama in the beginning so I didn't give this drama a low score. I felt that the events of the story could be explained more properly and an extension of the drama to 20 episodes would be ideal to interpret them and to tie loose ends. The acting is pretty good and the casts did a good job in portraying their characters although there might be room for improvement for some of the supporting casts.
