The other dramas can look as fancy-romantic-cheezy as they want W is the one to catch my interst. The script, actors, writer/director, all look so promiscing. I really can't wait for it, and it's Hyo Joo's first drama since 2010 *squeal* doesn't she look gorgeous *_*

"an Olympic gold medalist, a genius, and a super chaebol"

two out of three would have been more than enough but still acceptable, but all three in one character???

It's a bird.
It's a plane.
It's Super Chaebol.

Looking forward to seeing this drama

OMGooood, I miss this boy so much! :'D

I don't know about this one. Sounds a bit too ridiculous and Lee Jong suk is hit or miss for me. I couldn't get past episode two of Dr. Stranger but I liked Pinocchio. It has a good supporting cast so it wasn't too bad.

Yay han hyo joo!!! Oh no it's lee effing Jong sok ! The rude guy at the airport. Yep. Gonna skip this... unless his character here is also a jerk just like his real character in real life. Maybe just maybe I'm gonna do a lil bit of peeking. TBH I can't forgot his rude stare and action towards the fan. Yeah old story and he already apologize... move on please!!! But unfortunately the video of him at the airport automatically play when I see him.

I'm a sucker for parallel universe plots and I trust the writer so I'm game for this one.

I've seen LJS in three dramas: School 2013; IHYV; Pinocchio. He hasn't disappointed in either of them, so hopefully this will be good too. With the exception of Doctor Stranger, the guy knows what works and what doesn't. Looking forward to this one!

I don't watch his dramas, he's ugly

I really can't wait for this drama, the more I read about it the more i love it. It's a really interesting plot and very different from what it's currently airing, add to it a great cast. I Can feel it's going to be a good drama

SO EXCITED FOR THIS DRAMA!!! XD

I love her, but i don't like him, what to do???

‘W’ Unofficial Character Descriptions

>-- Oh Hyunjoo (HHJ) (female, resident medical intern at hospital)

One day, Hyunjoo receives a series of urgent calls from a senior doctor they call ‘Crazy Dog’. She rushes back to the emergency room but finds the senior doctor missing. It was Park Joo-bom, his father’s chief assistant, who is looking for her desperately. Hyunjoo’s dad is Oh Sung-woo, a comic book artist who is so famous that every person in Korea knows him. Joo-bum tells Hyunjoo that her father has gone missing.

This particular day is the deadline to hand in the draft for the final chapter of ‘W’, the megahit manhwa that has been publishing for more than ten years. The whole country is waiting with bated breath at what ending will await the main character, Kang Chul… yet Sung-woo has vanished into thin air on this momentous day.

Hyunjoo rushes to Sung-woo’s office, where Joo-bom is waiting for her. He tells Hyunjoo that her father had once said that he was going to kill off Kang Chul in the final chapter. When Hyun-joo sees what is on her father’s computer monitor, she is shocked.

What she sees is a picture of Kang Chul covered in blood from multiple stab wounds, lying on the floor. The image sent chills through her body; for one moment, she felt as if Kang Chul’s death is even more important than her father’s disappearance. It’s not hard to imagine what readers would feel when they saw this ending.

Could it be that someone knew about the ending and decided to kidnap her father?

At that moment, Kang Chul opened his eyes. Hyunjoo feels as if someone was tugging on her sleeve. At first she thought it was caught on the drawer, but what grabbed onto her was a man’s had, drenched in blood.

The next thing she knows, Hyunjoo is pulled into the monitor, and into Kang Chul’s world.

>> - Kang Chul (LJS) (male, risk manager and investor, Olympian gold medalist at competitive shooting)

Kang Chul was first known to the world 18 years ago since he was the son of famous Olympic Shooting athlete Kang Hyun-joong and won a medal for air-rifle shooting himself. He later gave up on the sport to study computer engineering at an elite university.

One day, his parents, grandmother and younger sister all passed away in a shockingly cruel murder case. Although Chul was able to escape death, he also became a prime suspect in the case. After a year of being detained in jail and interrogated in court, his life was completely ruined. Although he was found to be innocent, Chul left school and disappeared.

After 10 years, everyone has long forgotten about the case and Kang Chul came into the public eye again as a successful businessman.

Olympic medalist, genius computer engineer student, tragic family background, his name still not totally cleared of murder… he went through all this and became the youngest chaebol in Korea. Kang Chul’s life is too dramatic and unrealistic, it is a heroic tale that can only exist...

Continue...

Kang Chul’s life is too dramatic and unrealistic, it is a heroic tale that can only exist in movies or comic books.

Some people criticize that he came to fame through developing a game that has caused some social problems, there are even some who still think he murdered his own family. Perhaps to answer these queries, after his company’s stock was issued and he earned his fortune, Chul set up a professional detective channel called ‘W’.

Inspired by how corrupt and useless the police were 10 years ago, this broadcast channel has its own investigative team that looks into cases. Chul even issued a prize of 10 billion won to the person who can find his families’ murderer. ‘W’ created a frenzy where everyone began looking for the killer and also worshipping their new hero, Kang Chul.

One day, Kang Chul received a call from his most trusted person, an ex-prosecutor named Han Sung-hoon (42, male), which said he had found a deciding witness. This was also the day Kang Chul will meet Oh Hyunjoo.

Kang Chul arranged a meeting with this anonymous witness at Hotel H at 10pm. Suddenly, someone ran towards him with a knife and started stabbing him; just when he thought he was going to die for no reason like his family

I'm sold for everything this writer-nim make

it's been a while since i last commented on DB, but i had to say, i will watch everything this actor is in. be good, drama, be good.

i'm just really looking forward to seeing seung-jae (lee tae-hwan) again. hehee :D

I read it somewhere that the director praised the script writing that it was as if he was watching an American tv series

jung sukkie is my favourite kdrama actor and this drama sounds awesome. sooo looking forward to this drama

I don't know if anyone here knows The Social Network fandom. Over there, we deal with super genius/self-made billionaires/big-time venture capitalists/Olympic players/chaebols /founders of multi-billion valuation companies every day. And those characters are all based on real people from the real world.

So when I read the hero has 7 hundred million assets? I was like 'um, isn't that too little for an unrealistic character?' LoL.

The cast and writers are to die for. The plot sounds really interesting and fresh. I am gonna watch it for sure.

can't wait! I wish his character would be as perfect as writer's previous leading man: kim bung do.

Not a huge fan of LJS but always seem to end up watching his drama because of his co-stars. You gonna admit he's got a real luck with all his female partners on screen.

If this is a character from a comic brought to life then this could be an amazing series. I can't help but remember Stranger than Fiction which had a character come to life from a book- except well, if there is an opposite to every part of this premise it would be that movie! :p Its about a loser, daily office worker who learns he is a character in a book about to be killed off by his depressed creator and he decides matters into his own hands!

Just look at this fight scene practice. I'm sooo looking forward now
