Enjoy the rewatch!
Thanks @pkml3! However… a little amendment… we have decided to watch Episode 17 which will be the BTS and ‘Making Of W’ episode, which gives a bunch of explanations. So our last day for the ‘W’ Rewatch Party will be next Saturday, 9 July 2022. 🙂
Oh! Okay, @GB. 🙂
A very eventful last episode. (112 scenes!)
*** Yeon-Joo calls Kang Chul from the car ***
Yeon-Joo takes a long time to arrive where Kang Chul is. She doesn’t know how hurt he is, they talk several times by phone. The way these scenes and dialogues are arranged strongly foreshadows the tragedy. I feel like I’ve seen something similar in an old movie, but I can’t remember what. This prepares the emotion of the next scene…
*** Yeon-Joo crossing the street ***
The best scene of the drama! The moment when Yeon-Joo goes to join Kang Chul, but the word “End” appears, a truck passes, and suddenly… It’s daylight, the truck is replaced by a bus! A clear cut effect. Then the state of daze and dismay, Yeon-Joo motionless in the middle of the road. The director uses again his technique of showing the character from several static shots to make the discomfort.
The audience doesn’t know that Kang Chul dies, but the meaning is brought by the concept. So, a “multi-contextual” scene = more than one meaning, emotion triggered by the high concept.
The scene is strong enough to believe the first time, although the episode is far from over. It would have been a sad ending that I would have liked, so strong is the impact of the scene.
*** Oh Sung-Moo disappears ***
A rather short but moving scene, the end of Oh Sung-Moo. He “lets himself go”, or rather, no longer tries to hold back the effect of the manhwa asking for his disappearance.
*** Oh Sung-Moo’s letter ***
An even more moving scene. He sees the irony of the situation. The author ends up in the manhwa, the manhwa character ends up in reality. There is a theme about the artists drowned in their work to the point of not seeing anything else. The artist dies, but the work survives… the testimony of the artist on earth, what remains of it.
*** The differences between screenplay and drama ***
There are more differences in this episode than in the rest of the drama.
Minor differences:
– The final scene of the drama takes place by the river in the rising sun, while in the script, the conversation just ends in the hospital room.
– The drama removes a short scene where we see the 2nd copy of the tablet disappearing in W. I don’t know the intention (time saving probably), but it avoids an obvious plot-hole (according to my analysis)! I deal with the subject in W season 2 episode 6. ^^
Major differences:
– For the first time a reorganization of the story! In the script, the scene where Yeon-Joo cries in the hospital emergency room is set before the meeting between Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul at the bus stop. So it is a “hook first, explain later”. The audience knows that it ends badly because Yeon-Joo cries, but we don’t know what.
However, the surprise effect is important to amplify the feeling of the bus scene as much as possible. The scene of Yeon-Joo in the emergency room has therefore been put back in its chronological order.
– The script does not show Oh Sung-Moo disappearing. Just his car hits the road and there is no one left in it. Rather anti-climactic! The drama, on the contrary, shows Sung-Moo disappearing, with a few lines missing from the script, when he says goodbye to his daughter.
We also have an easier context to understand, with his car in the middle of the street, watching the two lovers.
Still alive (barely 😉 ). It is not that my Internet has failed again but the flow of the watch broke for me… Sorry!!! =(
On another note, how have you been?, I’ve missed all of you a lot! 😀
Hi there @FGB!!! We’ve missed you. I’m glad you dropped in to say ‘Hi!’

Kalo mesimeri Chingus.
We have 35 degrees C at the moment! Too hot, too hot!
I do hope you are okay!
Hello my Agapimeni Cleo! Too hot! Really too hot! Are you drinking lots of water? Staying in the shade and keeping cool indoors?
Right now it’s too humid for me. The a/c is on again *sigh* but without it, it’s hard to concentrate!
Other than that, I’m great!
I hope you noticed that I’ve posted the link to the interim Voting results above in my message to @FGB. It’s under Uncategorized at the moment, so you can find it there.
@GB Unnie,
I am inside drinking lots of water no worries! It is just I have a mild headache…
Yes, I have seen the interim Voting resuls! I am also glad @FGB came around!
Hello GB & Cleo!!
Kalo mesimeri @WE!
Cool morning here, sunshine though thunderstorms on the way. I have my coffee.
Hi sattleddust.
Are you ready?
Hello @salteddust!
It’s time, GO!
I am ready! Hi @Cleao and @WE
So, Episode 16 starts with the scene Episode 15 stops.
Resume of the previous scene…
Very good acting from Han Hyo Joo “about to cry eyes”.
Karl CHul takes off their wedding bands.
Yeon Joo propose cheap solutions. gnaaa gnaaa, that’s don’t work in a manhwa story!
50 years in the manhwa before she come back to real world. ^^
@WE,
What could she have said to KC? I want my dad and not you alive?
Quite bad love confession. T T
But with THE song!!
The “Saranghe” Scene…
@WE. She is trying to find the middle way.
@WE,
Kang Chul would sacrifice his life for Yeon Joo.
@WE,
I have seen Episode 16 three times, this week…
Han Chul-Ho will get what he deserves.
Hi Everyone!
LOL @Cleo… yes, what could YJ have said that she wanted.
I’ve had a long day, and drifted off to sleep! I’ll hang around for a while for now and see how it goes. 🙂
One detail: Kang Chul could not go in the warehouse, as Do-Yoon was liberated first. Of course, this could lead to a fight in the street but why not?
Kang Chul didn’t anticipate than now HCH know a lot more about the W logic.
Hey again @GB Unnie,
I didn’t expect the first time when I saw it, Han Chul-Ho shooting Kang Chul….
@Cleo, 3 times?!!!! aah ahh it’s madness!! 🙂
@WE, the show does not say when it was that KC told DY about the real world or that when ‘W’ the manhwa ends, HCH could go to the real world.
Was that what this episode says is the reason HCH knows so much?
@WE,
This episode is the bomb! *grins*
@GB, yes, it couldn’t be said before, because then, it couldn’t make a plot-twist when HCH shoot Kang Chul. But a short flasback could have make the job.
@GB, remember the “imagination” scene with Yeon Joo in episode 13, she say the survivor si free to travel between worlds after the end (probably a deduction coming from Kang Chul).
@WE, thanks! I was wondering how HCH could know so much. I was wondering how DY could give HCH enough intell, so that he could figure out that as the main villain, he could go to the real world as well, once the episode ended. So KC assumed incorrectly!!
This phonecall is heartbreaking…
@GB, also, this is not recap more because then, it spoil the final twist when Kang Chul come back in the real world at the end of the episode. So information is hidden on purpose (or foreshadowed since ep13 so we forgot since then), lol, complicated to know what to give to the audience to keep or not the surprises.
@WE, Ahhh, I see.
Strange choice of action …Why did KC take so long to call YJ for help? He should have stopped driving before the fuel ran out and just called her earlier.
We can feel the tragedy.
Spit blood…
@Cleo, it’s so terrible seeing KC spitting out blood and just getting weaker.
Come to think of it, the number of times his body has been ravaged and the degree of his injuries, make it well nigh impossible that he could have survived time and time again.
I’ve made an alternative subtitles of this episode, about 30 changes (if we don’t speak korean we don’t see the difference). But I never translated it in english. I should do it when I have time.
I did not notice on the first viewing that the car was out of gas. Maybe trying to get far away? But surely the tablet-drawn car would have a full-tank of gas. How far away is he?
BTW I like the short cut with Mad-Dog viewing the online comic; and the confusion on his face.
@GB Unnie, @WE,
It is true. But they had to make this way in order to be believable and have the emotional upheaval. I mean the surprises are coming one after another…
KC: Please come now. I miss you… *sobs*
AAAHHH the tragedy of the episode end coming as she approaches KC.
Such a great changed from night to day, but instead of this signalling light and joy, it caused so much pain.
Now… E…N…D…
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The heartattack is almost happening…Poor Yeon Joo.
Just when the song end.
Silence, natural sounds.
SHIIIITTTTT, this scene is so great!!!
Seriously, the first I watched this I was astounded. I couldn’t believe it…LMAO!
The writer had a lot of fun to torture the heroine during the whole drama, and even more in the last episode. ^^
LOL Mad Dog is really going crazy with the ending. And LOL he thinks YJ in Emergency means she’s there as a doctor, not that she’s there as a weeping patient. LOL. Poor YJ.
LOLOL Soo Bong only ever manages to start screaming, to vent and show his emotions with Mad Dog. Mad Dog feels hurt. Poor Mad Dog.
Correction: the fist time*
*FIRST*
I mean seriously Mad Dog can’t you see that Yeon Joo is wearing the same clothes, as the Yeon Joo in the webtoon? LOL
@Cleo, I feel that this ending seen the first time would be devastating.
I’d be so unhappy.
Park Soo-Bong is losing it too…
@Cleo, this drama is a so good source of inspiration. I couldn’t think of this end. Just the whole universe of the drama and the concept have some more a lot to deploy. I didn’t really wanted to write a season 2, but after having thousand of ideas during 6 months, then… it was rather I didn’t have the choice and had to write it. Well… it’s how I got trapped in this. ^^
She keep coming back again and again to the bus stop, with the tragic BGM.
Heh! @WE… trapped in this webtoon, are you?
7 days passed. In Sept 2016 W ended, after 7 years in publication. We get Soo Bong’s voiceover now.
The absurd method of koreans to find people: ask people in the street. ^^
@GB Unnie,
I was heartbroken…But thanks goodness they had more aces on their sleeves…
@WE, I totally get it. It is a well written kdrama. I think someone on the fantasy genre should have watched this. It needs to become a case study in a university module…
I’m always amazed by this show having printed so many copies of ‘W’ in book form for ‘people’ to buy! Wish it was truly out in publication for us!
@GB, trapped with a story that write on its own. I had speak about that sometimes. The story write itself, like the manhwa! And it give far best results than what I write on my own! 🙂
Even in this ‘post-ending’ scenes there is humor to break the tension:
Mad-Dog sniffing the handkerchief before he gives it to YJ presumably to make sure it is not too ‘ripe’; and Park So-Bong wiping his eyes as he cries THROUGH his glasses (he did that once before in an earlier scene). Just little touches.
@WE, wow a story that writes itself!!
Here’s the scene of the injection syringe in the neck that we thought should have taken place earlier. HCH mentioned that he could have done that, or have it done to him.
@Cleo, if you have read my latest analys about the script, we can see how good is the writing, with complex organisation of chronology. Of course the story is top, but the execution is great. Think about famous movies like “memento” that change the chronological writing. It’s the same here. I can’t do something so elaborated about that, because structure a story is already overwhelming. Maybe it can be done on further revisions? I don’t know.
@WE,
I have watched “memento” too and it is amazing!
@GB, yes, it’s the ancient greek concept of “genious”. It’s when the writer feel something else is writing the story. (it’s not “genious” in the egocentric way). It’s real phenomenon!!!
Finaly, Sung-Moo kill himself the last vilain.
And the line after Soo-Bong’s outburst, ‘Why does he turn into a mad-dog whenever he sees me’.
Oh…This is the moment I have been waiting for…
BYE BYE … Han Chul-Ho 😛
At last SM uses his drawing skills to destroy the 2nd villain that he set up. This villain was with context however.
SM seems to know about the thumbdrive and puts it there together with the suicide note of HCH.
Appropriately the shadow covered SM in the car, as he started to disappear.
Now, Sung-Moo helped the hero, so he will vanish.
I hope the explanation is clear about why Kang Chul fake death don’t trigger the manhwa end, but it’s the vilains death.
I don’t remember if the episode say it, but these events are not related in the manhwa because they are “out of context”.
@salteddust, Oh… my subs didn’t have that last line for Mad Dog during Soo Bong’s outburst.
Sung-Moo vanish. Crazy complex plot-twist for the end. I wonder how the writer didn’t turned crazy. ^^
This scene with the jakkanim is so sad…
He says: I love you my dear daughter…Goodbye / Annyeong…
I really like that the voiceover is done by Park Soo-Bong
At this point in the first watch I was only helped by the fact we were only half way through the episode so surely it didn’t end here!
Lol, first time I note that: there is french text on Seo Hee smartphone. Shit, after watching the drama 20 times. lol. I suck. ^^
@WE
The logic is strange. W ended not when Chul ‘dies’ or survives, but when the villains are gone?
Soo Bong’s voiceover:
“The readers could not see ‘W’s ending.
Contrary to his reason to exist, the killer helped Chul to be happy.
His last moment was edited out where he disappeared due to the contradiction.” (What does it mean by contradiction?)
“Nobody knew that Chul didn’t die, and the manhwa ended just before he survived.
Hearing that YJ was not there, KC realised that his role as the lead character was over.” (Meaning that since he looked for her and she did not appear, he’s not the lead character?)
@GB, yes, the subtitle say “contradiction”, it’s what I call “out of context”. The same, an event the manhwa can’t publish because it’s against the story logic. But it’s a concept we can stretch at will. Writers need that in this kind of too complex story. ^^
@GB,
It means that since Kang Chul was the main character, we didn’t see the demish of the bad guys. We only saw that KC passed away. That is the paradox.
As for the second one. He totally realized that YJ was back in her world and since this was the last chapter that the main story finished?
@GB, KCH role is over. It’s he’s not a manhwa hero anymore because the manhwa ended. Now, he’s just a strange being able to travel between worlds. 😉
I really love that Kang Chul brought Yeon Joo another set of their wedding bands…
It’s nice we have this rewatch 6 years after the drama aired, because I’m very quiet now. But after watching it, I was screaming everywhere “it’s genious, it’s genious!!!!”. ahaha, like a fool. 🙂
Sung-Moo wanted Yeon-Joo to believe he’s fine in the manhwa, but it don’t work. She understand he’s dead now.
I was really glad that Kang Chul didn’t lie to her about her dad.
The moment KC asks YJ to call him Oppa 😛
As a joke, the cryhion “END” appear in the last scene.
What is not being said it what Yeon Joo’s mom realized about Kang Chul.
I think she somehow understood why Yeon Joo was sad.
And…the show ended 😀
Interesting, both KC and YJ’s father look at her lovingly at exactly the same time! Although with KC it is just a hint of a loving glance; her father reaches for her –his paternal love for his daughter has outweighed his evil desire to know more and control more – the Real Culprit dissipates. Again the hand reaching out with the hints of the Sistine Chapel.
@Cleo… it makes a big void. T T
@WE,
I think we have had a wonderful time, these past 16 weeks discussing this drama!
@salteddust that was a very touching scene indeed!
@Cleo, yes and we gave many clues about the explanations. If it need more, just ask. 😉
I wanted to make the list of plot-hole but forgot. Each time there was a reason why it happens so I don’t remember the real plot-holes of the drama. But any small things wrong can’t undo the greatness of this.
@WE,
I agree with you. I think that W is a great show to have as a module.
Good scripts as good books needs to be recognized!
I have to go for now, but I will read you later!
Enjoy your day! Thank you for the company!
Goodbye everyone! I have work to do (watch dramas and type comments, lol!!)
Just finishing. It is a tribute to Han Hyo-Jo’s acting that we understand that YJ knows her father has died without any words needing to be said.
Bye Everyone! I also have to sleep earlier!
I do really love this drama! And it was no nice watching it with you all; I got a lot more out of each episode than I would have on my own. Thanks so much!
You’re welcome @salteddust! It was a pleasure having you with us too!!
BTW remember Everyone, we still have the “Making Of” Episode 17 to watch next week!!! The ‘real’ last episode. 🙂
Several changes in episode 16. One of them is particularly important.
These scenes start pretty much as in the drama, except that Nurse Kim comes to interrupt Prof Park while he is reading the manhwa (minor change).
However, from scene #6, it is radically different.
All the following scenes appear in the drama, but much later, after the scene of Kang Chul’s death at the bus station.
By presenting these scenes in advance here, the scriptwriter uses her usual “hook first, explain later” trick. However… is this really the time to do this during the last episode? The director did not choose this option. Remember: even if the screenplay is very important, the director always has the last word. Did he make the right decision? YES! And twenty times yes!!! It’s not a question of script technique or a question of directorial trickery… It’s only from the point of view of the audience.
When the famous scene in the bus station arrives, a great tension is first created in the episode. And the conclusion of this scene is surprising. As a simple viewer, the first time I saw it, this scene knocked me on my ass. And the reason why it worked so well is because I had no idea of its possible conclusion.
Therefore, by providing ahead of time that it’s going to go wrong…the writer gives a spoiler and lessens the impact of the scene. This is an element of the story that should surprise, not be announced. And… it’s the kind of thing that needs to be experienced. It’s hard to know from a script perspective. The writer can’t be surprised since she knows her story… so it requires a fresh look, perhaps from the director, who by instinct sensed that this time things had to be presented in linear order to deliver maximum emotion.

#2. Sung Moo’s Studio (Night)
Continued from scene 82 in episode 16,
YEON JOO – (Relaxed) You can send it by email. And report the location where Do Yoon is being arrested. You can get it right there. Then
KANG CHUL – (right) Not right now.
YEON JOO – Why…?
KANG CHUL – If there is such a happy ending, the father will disappear.
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – Because my happy ending is a sad ending for Jinbeom.
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – Now the problem is… After any ending, my father and I.
One of us is not going to be with you anymore.
YEON JOO – (!!!)
KANG CHUL – Either die… or disappear.
YEON JOO – (on expression)
The two of them turned into cartoon cuts.
_________________________________________________
#3. Prof Park Room (Morning)
Prof Park sitting at the desk and staring intently at the monitor.
{Die or disappear} lines are floating around.
Prof Park, then down to the next cut, and Nurse Kim knocks in.
NURSE KIM – (Bringing papers with greetings) Professor yesterday’s material here…
PROF PARK – (eyes fixed on the monitor) Let go.
NURSE KIM – Yes… (??
Meanwhile, Prof Park watching the next scene.
On the monitor, Kang Chul and Yeon Joo are sitting facing each other in front of the desk, holding hands and looking at each other. As the two of them transform into a live-action…
_________________________________________________
#4. Sung Moo’s Studio (Night)
Continuing from scene 91 in episode 16..
KANG CHUL – I have to make a decision now.
What ending will you make?
YEON JOO – How…? What kind of ending..?
KANG CHUL – …… (Suddenly pulls Yeon Joo’s hand and removes Yeon Joo’s ring from her finger)
YEON JOO – Why are you like this..?
KANG CHUL – (Puts Yeon Joo’s ring on the desk, removes his own ring and puts it on the desk)
YEON JOO – What are you doing..? (Tears are already pouring out of my bad feeling) Why are you taking off the ring..? What should we do…?
KANG CHUL – It’s so cruel that a father… his daughter must die to avoid extinction.
I can’t.
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – I’ll remove you from my family list.
you are free now Now it’s safe no matter the ending.
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – Now you decide. What kind of ending would you make?
YEON JOO – (…!)
KANG CHUL – I… I’m going to follow Oh Yeon Joo’s decision.
YEON JOO – (…..!)
_________________________________________________
#5. Prof Park Room (Morning)
Prof Park, as I scrolled down, there was a look on my face…
He pauses for a moment and then scrolls down again with the mouse, but when it doesn’t go any further, he gets nervous, and then suddenly leans back on the chair.
He crossed his arms and chin, and looked at the monitor seriously as if he didn’t like it.
Prof Park, suddenly jumps up and walks out.
After Prof Park is gone, the camera, the monitor, and…
I only see the words {End}. The cut above is not visible.
_________________________________________________
#6. In front of Thoracic Surgery Clinic (morning)
Prof Park, I’m just about to go in and Suk Bum comes out of nowhere.
PROF PARK – Hey Oh Yeon Joo Where Are You?
SUK BUM – The emergency room.
PROF PARK – Emergency Room? After work, tell her to come to my room
SUK BUM – No, Yeon Joo was brought to the ER now.
PROF PARK – Me?
SUK BUM – Called me to go to the emergency room because I collapsed (Go quickly)
PROF PARK – Oh Yeon Joo Fallen? Why??
_________________________________________________
#7. Emergency room (morning)
Prof Park sneaks in and Suk Bum comes out of Yeon Joo’s bed.
PROF PARK – Why, Oh Yeon Joo What is it?
SUK BUM – (lower) Yeon Joo I saw something going on at home.
PROF PARK – What’s up?
SUK BUM – (shakes his head) I’m crying a lot.
PROF PARK – (…?)
_________________________________________________
#8. Corner of the emergency room (morning)
A place where less critical patients lie in one corner.
When Prof Park looks in, Yeon Joo is lying down with a ringer plugged in.
At the unusual sobbing of Yeon Joo, Prof Park shudders and…
There is no one beside Yeon Joo. Neither Kang Chul nor Sung Moo can be seen.
PROF PARK – …..? (approaching)
YEON JOO – (covering eyes with forearms and crying)
PROF PARK – (carefully) Hey, why are you crying..? What are you doing… are you…?
YEON JOO – ……. (The sobbing doesn’t stop)
PROF PARK – (Yeon Joo crying so I can’t say more)
_________________________________________________
#9. Emergency room (morning)
PROF PARK – (Coming out again) What’s going on?
SUK BUM – I don’t know. (I’m scared) I can’t ask…
PROF PARK – Who is the guardian?
IS IT SUK BUM – Soo Bong? That father’s assistant brought him… (Haddo Douriban) Where did you go?
PROF PARK – (?)
_________________________________________________
#10. In Soo Bong’s Car (Morning)
Soo Bong, driving.
I’m drenched in tears, looking around for people passing by in India, looking for something…
_________________________________________________
#11. In front of the motel (morning)
Soo Bong, when he saw the motel he was looking for, he parked his car on the side of the road and ran right out.
A motel in a remote, remote location.
_________________________________________________
#12. motel counter (morning)
When Soo Bong came in, the counter staff stood there.
EMPLOYEE – Welcome.
SOO BONG – Over there.. (wiping tears) Is there any man around here in patient clothes?
EMPLOYEE – Patient clothes..?
SOO BONG – Yes, this guy.. (Showing Sung Moo’s picture on cell phone) He must have been in this building… I didn’t see him wandering around..?
EMPLOYEE – (looking in and tilting) Well, I didn’t see it. Are you a dementia patient..?
SOO BONG – (crying) It’s not dementia… It’s because I came out of a psychiatric hospital. I’m out of my mind right now… I must be lost… I need to find it quickly…
_________________________________________________
#13. Corner of the emergency room (morning)
Yeon Joo is sobbing while looking at the wall.
Tears flowed down endlessly… I was sobbing without even thinking to wipe them away…
In the eyes of Yeon Joo, the ring on the hand with the ringer in it suddenly disappears like smoke.
(**Same as the situation in episode 6. When {End} is over, things from the cartoon disappear)
Yeon Joo, the look on her face…
Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo try to make a decision. With the idea of trying to live despite the prison. This doesn’t seem valid already because Kang Chul was sentenced to death, but okay. The script adds a hypothetical scene not seen in the drama.
Yeon-Joo’s mother meets Yeon-Joo once she comes back from manhwa… 50 years later!
_________________________________________________
#14. Sung Moo’s Studio (Night)
The situation continues in scene 4.
Close-up of two rings lying on the desk.
YEON JOO – (Looking resentful at Kang Chul waiting for an answer)
KANG CHUL – ……
YEON JOO – (bites her lip… and suddenly picks up her ring and puts it on her finger again)
KANG CHUL – (expression)
YEON JOO – Who wants to delete me from the list..? Why are you talking nonsense?
(Then he grabs Kang Chul’s hand and puts the ring on)
KANG CHUL – (expression)
YEON JOO – (There is no answer, but with an unconditional will) One disappears, and there is no such ending.
Why? We can all go together.
KANG CHUL – How.
YEON JOO – (Like a rainy season) There are many endings where the main character grows old and dies..!
Neither happy nor sad, just until natural death, that’s all.
KANG CHUL – (expression)
YEON JOO – So Kang Chul died in prison at the age of 80, falsely framed.
There are many stories that end like that. didn’t you see
So just go all the way to the end.
KANG CHUL – So… you’re going to live here forever…?
YEON JOO – Yes. You can’t go out. The three of us can live here together.
KANG CHUL – How do we live together? I have to go to jail and so does my father.
My father and I will probably be in prison for the rest of our lives.
YEON JOO – If you are a model person, your hyung will decrease.
KANG CHUL – (sighs) If I really live to be 80, you will spend the next 50 years alone here and then return.
YEON JOO – I can’t help it.
KANG CHUL – Even if I lived here for 50 years, it would have been only 30 minutes if I went back..? your mother?
YEON JOO – (Face)
_________________________________________________
#15. Imagination – Yeon Joo’s living room (daytime)
Soo Sun comes out of the kitchen preparing breakfast at the sound of the door opening.
SOO SUN – Are you Yeon Joo?
Soo Sun, as he came to the front door, he was surprised to see someone coming in.
The back of the white-haired woman with her head turned up and the hands of the old woman completely wrinkled.
SOO SUN – (Not recognizing Yeon Joo, embarrassed) Who… are you?
_________________________________________________
#16. Sung Moo’s Studio (Night)
YEON JOO – (Thinking about that)
KANG CHUL – Your mother must be much younger than you. Even if you go back, no one will recognize you, and neither will your mother. are you okay though?
YEON JOO – ….. But.. it’s not that I don’t have a mother.
Because I can see my mother’s face… (holding up my tears) I can’t help it…
KANG CHUL – We can’t be happy here either. We’ll see each other in the meeting room for the rest of our lives.
YEON JOO – You can see it in the meeting room. It’s better than not seeing you forever. How about that?
KANG CHUL – (expression)
KANG CHUL – (shakes his head) Such a mediocre ending is not possible.
YEON JOO – It’s possible!
KANG CHUL – ……
YEON JOO – Dad and you must be by my side. I know? I can’t imagine anything else. They just live until they get sick or grow old and die. Just like normal people’s lives.
(wipe away your tears quickly)
I hear sirens outside…
KANG CHUL – ……
YEON JOO – You tell me to decide. That’s how I decided.
KANG CHUL – …..
YEON JOO – …..
KANG CHUL – (which happens eventually) Draw a back door to get out. with tea.
YEON JOO – (…!)
KANG CHUL – If you can’t come to a conclusion right away, you have to get out of here.
Kang Chul shoots at Chul Ho’s men.
Maybe because Kang Chul is a “clean” hero who doesn’t kill, he shoots in the legs and hands. But in the drama, he doesn’t really have the time and energy to aim. He just shoots them as they come. At this stage of the story, I don’t think it penalizes the hero as the main character. He’s about to perish from his injury anyway.

#30. Building Basement (Night)
Gangsters and bodyguards who slam the door open, facial expressions,
The table has fallen and stands upright, Chul Ho is not visible, and Kang Chul, who has taken the gun, shoots at the comrades who come in right away while falling to the floor. Everyone gets shot in the legs and hands before they even use guns and pipes, screams and falls. (** Better not to see where Chul Ho is, whether he is alive or dead, actually hiding behind the table)
Yeon-Joo talks to Sung-Moo.
A short conversation, absent from this scene in the drama.
The scriptwriter uses the keyword “Time lapse” instead of writing a new scene (same place, but change of time)
_________________________________________________
#34. Company car + motel room (night)
A bodyguard is driving and Do Yoon is behind him on the phone.
(The rest are fighting)
DO YOON – (only) Yes… I lived.
YEON JOO – (Ando) I’m glad. Who is CEO Kang?
DO YOON – (At the same time) What about CEO Kang?
YEON JOO – (…!) Aren’t we together?
DO YOON – No.. I saw him running away, but I couldn’t contact him..
YEON JOO – (…?!) Where… did you go…?
DO YOON – (with messy hair) I’m looking for it.. I’m sure it’s gone.
Oh and send me the address there. I’ll send you guys that way.
YEON JOO – Yes… (hangs up the phone and makes a phone call as she becomes very anxious)
I just get a beep and don’t get it.
YEON JOO – (I’m anxious)
SUNG MOO – (E) What time is it..?
Yeon Joo, looking back, Sung Moo, is watching.
YEON JOO – (Hurry up!! Nice to meet you) It’s past 12 o’clock. Can I get you some water?
SUNG MOO – Kang Chul didn’t come..?
YEON JOO – (with a glass of mineral water) Not yet.
SUNG MOO – ….. What’s wrong…?
YEON JOO – No.. (trying to calm down) I don’t know yet… (takes a cup and puts it to his lips) Have some.
SUNG MOO – (takes a sip and sighs) Then I… first stabbed him with a knife…
YEON JOO – Yes…?
Sung Moo stabs Kang Chul on the roof of a hotel in episode 6…
SUNG MOO – (E) There wasn’t much remorse… Because I thought he wasn’t human…
SUNG MOO – To the extent that I throw away my stuff… That’s how it felt.
YEON JOO – (…!)
SUNG MOO – But… did you think that karma would come this far? Look at me.. (Sad smile)
YEON JOO – ……
time lapse.
Clock past 1 am. Sung Moo is asleep again.
Yeon Joo, I’m getting nervous as if I’m suffocating…
I try to call again, but my phone rings. Yeon Joo, …!!!
YEON JOO – (Received Kang Chul’s number right away) Hello..?
When there is no answer…
YEON JOO – Hello..? Hello..??
KANG CHUL – (E) Can you… come pick me up…?
YEON JOO – (!!) Where are you?!
Bus station scene.
Rather short compared to the importance. Everything is well described, the writer even thinks of including “Night + Morning” in the scene header.
When the truck passes in W, it is then replaced by a bus in the real world. Other than that, it’s identical.
One detail that the director had trouble with: the words “to be continued” or “end” are often too small to be easily discernible.
_________________________________________________
#50. Bus Stop + National Road (Night + Morning)
Yeon Joo’s car stands on the opposite shoulder.
I see Kang Chul leaning on the bus stop bench.
Yeon Joo, honking right away because my heart is pounding.
Kang Chul wakes up to the sound.
Let’s check awake Yeon Joo, …!! Go out right away
In Kang Chul’s gaze, Yeon Joo’s appearance is blurred.
Yeon Joo, I’m trying to cross right away, but I can’t because a few cars pass by.
YEON JOO – I’m here! (calling out loud)
KANG CHUL – ……
He recognized Kang Chul and Yeon Joo and seemed to put a light smile on his lips…
Yeon Joo, ….!!!
He immediately lost his strength, dropped his head, collapsed from the bench and fell to the floor.
Yeon Joo, ….!!!
The gaze of Yeon Joo who said no.. I met the gaze of Kang Chul, who had fallen on the floor, for a moment…
At the same time as Kang Chul and Yeon Joo close their eyes, the subtitle “The End” suddenly appears in front of Yeon Joo’s eyes.
Yeon Joo, …..!!! When I saw the subtitles, I was instantly frozen…
At this time, a long truck passed by and blinded Yeon Joo.
It was morning when the truck passed by.
There is no one at the bus stop across the street.
No Kang Chul, no blood, no Kang Chul’s car, no Yeon Joo’s car.
Yeon Joo, the look on her face…
Plot-hole in the script!
But not in the drama!!! For some reason, scene #53 was not put in the drama. I do not know the reason, probably to save time? This leaves a kind of hidden element at the end of the drama, which I could use in my script.
Here, the scriptwriter makes Sung-Moo’s tablet disappear in W. Because it’s a replica. Because according to the rule “objects coming from the manhwa disappear at the end” (rule reminded in scene #13).
However, this only happens for what is out of the manhwa at the end. It does not work for what is in the manhwa. So, the tablet copy in W should not disappear. The director made that scene disappear instead. Everything is perfect.

#52. Sung Moo’s Studio (Morning)
Soo Bong comes in with a cell phone
SOO BONG – How come all three of you can’t get in touch? Oh really.. (pauses)
Sung Moo’s tablet lying on the desk suddenly disappears like smoke.
SOO BONG – (surprised) What…what…?
_________________________________________________
#53. motel room (night)
Close-up of a replica tablet on the table. (Can’t see where it’s placed)
It disappears like smoke.
——— REMINDER ———-
_________________________________________________
#13. Corner of the emergency room (morning)
Yeon Joo is sobbing while looking at the wall.
Tears flowed down endlessly… I was sobbing without even thinking to wipe them away…
In the eyes of Yeon Joo, the ring on the hand with the ringer in it suddenly disappears like smoke.
(**Same as the situation in episode 6. When {End} is over, things from the cartoon disappear)
Yeon Joo, the look on her face…
Sung-Moo kills Chul Ho.
In the script, he uses the famous syringes, so often used.
A syringe appears on the desk, it flies and goes into his neck.
However, the drama uses a gun instead. This is pretty good because this way, Chul Ho dies in the way he broke the rules of his character. He is supposed to not get his hands dirty as a villain, yet he shot Kang Chul with a gun.
_________________________________________________
#74. Recall – Motel Room + Chul Ho’s Office (Night)
SUNG MOO – (shakes hands because of hard work) Yeah.. Fortunately, he’s at the office..
CHUL HO – The one I saw at the hospital back then.. Oh Sung Moo..?
SUNG MOO – Yes. who made you
CHUL HO – (?!)
SUNG MOO – I made you… for the villain role.
CHUL HO – (!!)
SUNG MOO – But how did this happen…? At least I wasn’t the one with blood on your hands…
Did you shoot…?
CHUL HO – (expression, bewilderment, excitement) How are you… how are you here…? You then… I’m trying to find you…
SUNG MOO – You shot Kang Chul because you wanted to meet me..? (Cynical) I was here a year ago…
CHUL HO – (…!!)
At this point, Chul Ho’s hand, which was placed on the armrest, suddenly became tied with a string.
Chul Ho,?! Surprisingly, the rest of his hands are fastened to the armrests and tied with strings.
CHUL HO – (!!!) What, what?
The cell phone you hold in your hand automatically turns into a speakerphone.
Chul Ho hears everything on the speakerphone
SUNG MOO – (E) Do you also want to know the reason for your existence?
CHUL HO – (Face)
SUNG MOO – There are so many things I want to know, so I’m going to go out more and more.
I can’t stop the desire to know…
All the others did too. So I ended up like this…
CHUL HO – (!!!)
SUNG MOO – But you can’t do that too. You’re the one who wants to be president.
What would the world be like if you knew all the secrets? Also a bad guy like you.
Aren’t you a guy who can’t even fight war?
CHUL HO – (!!)
SUNG MOO – You… Come with me…
Even if I failed everything else, I’ll take care of you and go.
(He picks up the pen with trembling hands)
Immediately, a syringe filled with drugs appears on Chul Ho’s desk.
CHUL HO – (fear that something is coming) Ah… no…! No!! help me..! hey who’s out there!!
Chul Ho, as soon as you shout, blue tape appears on your mouth and blocks your mouth.
Chul Ho, …!!!!
the door is slammed shut
Chul Ho, !!!
Outside, ‘senator?’ I hear a knock on the door, but there is no answer.
The syringe floats in the air and immediately finds a vein and is inserted into the forearm.
Chul Ho!!!! mortal struggle
Sung-Moo goes to the place of the final scene of the manhwa.
Multiple changes. We first see Sung-Moo in the car (which he stole from the bodyguard). This is not seen in the drama, because it is quite unnecessary. It is useful in the script because Sung-Moo never gets to the final scene, and the moment when he disappears in the car is not shown. Instead, the car crashes against a tree, empty.
Instead, the drama focuses on the clarity and rendering of the character. With a shot showing Sung-Moo’s car in front of Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul. We easily understand that his disappearance ends the manhwa. It also shows the last moments of Sung-Moo.
If you think about the context and the timing, it doesn’t make much sense. Sung-Moo leaves the hotel well after Yeon-Joo, he even has time to occirre Chul Ho before (draw), he has time to write a letter to Kang Chul… While Yeon-Joo had already taken time to get to Kang Chul. This is an obvious plot-hole but still a very good narrative choice. The script does not avoid this plot-hole though, it is described that Sung-Moo’s car is only 5 miles away from the location.
The script also shows three different characters for whom the word “END” is displayed. This has been removed from the drama. However, it’s a pity because it allowed an easier understanding of the phenomenon. The two dead (or vanished) villains and Kang Chul. The only one left alive in reality.

#82. Reminiscence – Inside the bodyguard’s car (night)
Sung Moo, driving hard and driving on national roads.
My whole body has already appeared and disappeared… My eyes are wet with tears…
The navigation informs you that there are still 5 miles to the destination.
Sung Moo, he dials his phone when he doesn’t think he’ll arrive
_________________________________________________
#83. Reminiscence – In Yeon Joo’s Car (Night)
Same situation as scene 50.
Yeon Joo sees Kang Chul at the bus stop opposite and just gets out of the car.
The cell phone thrown into the car seat rings, but Yeon Joo, who has already left, can’t hear it.
Yeon Joo, who stands to cross the street and sends a passing car..
_________________________________________________
#84. Reminiscence – Inside the bodyguard’s car (night)
When the phone rings and the phone does not work, Sung Moo nervously puts the cell phone to his ear. Sung Moo, ….!!
The hand disappears completely… Then the one hand holding the steering wheel also disappears.
Sung Moo, facial expression.
_________________________________________________
#85. Recall – Bus Stop (Night)
50 scenes
I found Kang Chul and Yeon Joo sitting leaning on the bench…
SUNG MOO – (E) We can’t go together..
_________________________________________________
#86. Reminiscence – Inside the bodyguard’s car (night)
Sung Moo watches the car go as he pleases without even holding the steering wheel.
Sung Moo’s entire body slowly disappears.
I was prepared, but as extinction approached, fear, remorse, and emptiness…
Tears are flowing…
SUNG MOO – (E) If you’re happy… I’m Sad.
_________________________________________________
#87. Reminiscence – National Roadside (Night)
Sung Moo’s car slows down and leans sideways, crashing into the wall of the building and standing. As the camera approaches slowly… there is no one in the driver’s seat anymore.
Sung Moo, vanished and vanished.
_________________________________________________
#88. Flashback – Chul Ho’s Office (Night)
Chul Ho dead with his eyes open.. The police are coming in and looking…
Next to it, the subtitle {End} appears.
_________________________________________________
#89. Reminiscence – National Roadside (Night)
The bodyguard’s car stopped and there was no one there.
Next to it, the subtitle {End} appears.
SOO BONG – (E) W ended not when Kang Chul died, but when the villains disappeared.
_________________________________________________
#90. Recall – Bus Stop (Night)
59 scenes
Kang Chul recognizes Yeon Joo with a hazy gaze…
SOO BONG – (E) So the last scene is… a perfect happy ending for Kang Chul.
The villains are gone…
Kang Chul and Yeon Joo smile softly.
SOO BONG – (E) Because the woman I love appeared in front of me.
Kang Chul suddenly loses strength and suddenly falls to the floor in front of Yeon Joo.
Also, {End} appears.
Yeon Joo, startled and disappeared in an instant…
Kang Chul remained lying on the floor.
THE END.
#109, the drama just shows mysterious footsteps (we guess it’s Kang Chul without seeing him). The script shows his hand saving Yeon-Joo while fainting.
#112, in the drama, this scene is cut in two. Staying in the hospital room was not very engaging for a final scene.
The last lines take place at the Han River, the rising sun. A symbol for the couple’s new life, a renewal, and the beginning of Kang Chul’s life in the real world.
At the end, there is a voice-over by Soo-Bong. In the drama, the inscription “END” appears, as if we were in a manhwa. It’s more a wink than something real.
So, this couple will now live a happy, boring and ordinary life… Unfortunately for them, their misadventures are far from over in W season 2 Four worlds. 🙂

#109. Bus Stop (Night)
The rain keeps pouring…
Yeon Joo, who was shivering and sobbing in the cold rain, leaned against the wall and lost consciousness..
My eyes are wet with tears and my body is trembling with chills…
I hear the sound of a car coming to my ear and stopping… I hear the door open and come out.
It’s like someone is approaching… Yeon Joo, I open my eyes slightly, but I can’t see well…
A face approaching with a blurred gaze, as if it were Kang Chul.
Yeon Joo, I want to say something, but my eyes get blurred and I lose my mind.
Kang Chul’s hand grabs Yeon Joo who is about to collapse.
_________________________________________________
#110. Inpatient room (night)
Yeon Joo, who was in a deep sleep lying on her side drunk on drugs, suddenly wakes up.
I didn’t even know that I was hospitalized again, and then I found a string with a ringer in it…
I lay there blankly for a while, and a business card catches my eye on the bed.
Familiar business card. Yeon Joo, looking at it helplessly, her expression.
I have Kang Chul’s business card.
Yeon Joo, …?? I don’t know why it’s here.. Then he sees an arm with an arm pillow on his head… I hope he sees a finger with a ring on it.
Yeon Joo, …?! look back and look.
Kang Chul lay next to Yeon Joo and fell asleep for a while.
YEON JOO – (…!)
KANG CHUL – (Wakes up at the sight)
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – (expression)
No words came out… The two of us, just looking at each other.
KANG CHUL – (After a while) Are you awake..? how are you?
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – What time is it…? (Looking at the clock) My mother went in. I told you to come in.
YEON JOO – ……
KANG CHUL – I thought you were going to ask a lot of things, but you didn’t say anything.
I couldn’t be bothered to call him husband, but I said boyfriend.

#111. Reminiscence – In front of the hospital room (night)
Soo Sun, looking strangely at Kang Chul standing in front of him
SOO SUN – Maybe the day you broke up with Yeon Joo… Is it the bus stop?
KANG CHUL – Yes…
SOO SUN – (At that time my daughter understands, sigh)
_________________________________________________
#112. Inpatient room (night)
KANG CHUL – (pointing to business card, smiling) I was in a hurry, so I gave him a business card, but he just passed it on.
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – I’ve been in jail for two years and it’s only been a week here.
YEON JOO – ……!
KANG CHUL – Actually, I was worried that time would pass the same.
I feared that I would have died after being sad alone for two years. how lucky
YEON JOO – (It was then that Kang Chul came back, and tears suddenly came pouring down)
Dad…
KANG CHUL – Father too.
YEON JOO – (…!)
KANG CHUL – You’re in the psychiatric ward. It’s good that I wrote a little bit of back.
I came to see you before I came here.
YEON JOO – (…!) Really?
KANG CHUL – Really. you’ll be there I don’t have the confidence to come here and meet people.
YEON JOO – (Face)
KANG CHUL – Oh, I also got a letter. (He takes a letter out of his pocket)
YEON JOO – (…!)
KANG CHUL – I have a picture. It was taken recently. (showing Sung Moo’s picture)
YEON JOO – (…! staring intently)
KANG CHUL – ……
YEON JOO – Your face has… improved.
KANG CHUL – How are you?
YEON JOO – (a little relief.. she wipes her tears and opens the letter)
KANG CHUL – Oh you know what? Now I’m three years older.
YEON JOO – (A glance at those words)
KANG CHUL – Now that I’m really my brother, I unconditionally call him oppa. there’s no sting
Even if I struggled, I did it for 3 more years. You see, are you Yeon Joo?
YEON JOO – (Stupid laughter, tears keep coming)
KANG CHUL – (Smile)
YEON JOO – (opens the letter) It’s over, right?
KANG CHUL – That’s right.
YEON JOO – Is it really over..?
KANG CHUL – It’s really over. (Kissing Yeon Joo’s hair)
YEON JOO – (Finally relieved)
SOO BONG – (E) Kang Chul’s story in the manga had a happy ending
The ending of the real living Kang Chul and Oh Yeon Joo is still unknown. but..
As the two of them read Sung Moo’s letter together, as they move away…
It’s raining outside the window…
SOO BONG – (E) I hope that the two of you will no longer be at the crossroads of life and death like in a cartoon, and that they will meet such an ending that continues for 50 years, even if boring and ordinary.
Just like other ordinary lovers.
{End}
Thanks @WE. You’ve really taken pains to compare the script against the drama. That was a lot of script to go through! 🤪 🧐 😁
Ahhh, easy to compare, I’ve read it 2 times. And probably need to do it again to study some specific points. For example, subtext and dialogues line, in the way it’s natural or surprising. I also read some scenes more, when I need to do a search for something. Can be just technical, like how to format a montage.
LOL @WE, I like your trailer for ‘4 Worlds’.
@GB,
Put a comment on my blog, because I’m not sure which teaser you are talking about. There are some things I did 3 or 4 years ago, and there are probably some mistakes. 😉
As I read Song Jae-Jong’s screenplay again, I always find new things. Not really in the story because I’ve watched the drama several times, but in the way of writing it.
There are of course the temporal recompositions, the way of unfolding the scenario from key scenes directing flashbacks, or arranging the order of the scenes differently from the chronological time.
But for the dialogues and attitudes of the characters, it’s incredible. And I don’t really find that in western screenplay. I already use some of the tricks that she uses. But I need to study this even more in depth. For example:
– Characters are shown in dialogue, even when they are not saying anything. It’s like seeing the scene on the screen, with the shot changes.
– Sometimes the attitudes are free (no description). It is left to the actor’s interpretation.
– Sometimes the attitudes are remarkably precise. It’s not just a quick word to describe the character’s reaction, as there are in the parentheses of Western screenplay. It can even be a thought of the character.
– The dialogue is very lively, natural and surprising.
We can feel her phenomenal experience in the dialogues on paper (and the comic complications, line twists). Hundreds of sitcom episodes, several full dramas written before. She and some other Korean writers have this crazy experience.
A 16 episode drama = 8 feature films of 2 hours.
A sitcom episode = half an hour.
—————————————————–
If I look at her career, before W…
Sitcom.
They are written as a team, but we know that she is a main driving force. I remember an interview about the “high kick” sticom, saying that she introduced a fantastic element in the story.
– Soonpoong Clinic (1998) : 340 episodes (3 writers)
– Honest Living (2002) : 239 episodes (2 writers)
– Unstoppable High Kick (2006): 167 episodes (4 writers)
– Keu Keu Island’s Secret (2008): 40 episodes. (2 writers)
TOTAL:
786 ep. 392h.
Drama (before her golden age).
– Cute Or Crazy (2005): 17 ep.
– Coffee House (2010): 18 ep. (2 writers)
TOTAL:
35 ep. 35h.
Drama (high-concept, fantasy) :
– Queen In Hyun’s Man (2012): 16 ep. (2 writers). 45 min/ep. 12h.
– Nine: Nine Times Time Travel (2013): 20 ep. (2 writers). 52 min/ep. 17h.
– The Three Musketeers (2014): 12 ep. 72 min/ep. 14h.
TOTAL:
48 ep. 43h.
I’m estimating. Time cut in half when it’s a team effort.
196h + 26h + 29h.
Since the sitcom is a fast-paced, lower quality writing, I divide by two (estimate): 98h.
Total screentime: 153h.
Translated into movies (2h movies): 76 movies.
For fun, we can compare this to the work done by western scriptwriters. But I have difficulties to find people with so much experience. Maybe a screenwriter whose name I don’t remember, in the silent era, who had more than 200 films to his credit (but shorter films).
Korean screenwriters are amazing, with their pale-pale philosophy.
Song Jae-Jong is a script war machine.
And in the screenplay of W, there is all this experience. About how to render a story on paper.
@WE done! I was referring to this blog.
http://w4worlds.eklablog.com/teaser-a170143528#comments-anchor
I wonder if the writing time really gets cut with more writers. There might be more time spent in argument and brainstorming ideas.
🤓 🤩 😣 😤 🤯 😱 🥱 😑 😬 🙄 🤔 🤪
It will be fine as long as the writers work well as a team, and give sufficient deference to the head writer.
The worst case I encountered of a show in which a different writer took over the writing from the original writer (who unfortunately was ill and passed away, and likely didn’t leave enough notes!), was My Secret Hotel. The great set up for murder-mystery and romance in which the couple could have had loads of couple time while helping in the investigations was sent spinning down the drain into blandness with unnecessary tropes. The mystery was bland, the romance was bland, … such a disappointment.
My Secret Hotel … Aaah, Yoo In Na. I became a fan of the actress after “Queen In Huyn’s man”. But a very bad fan, because she never did another drama that I liked. And I dropped “my secret hotel”.
I answered you on the blog. 😉
@WE, got it.
But from that trailer, there’s no further link to the actual screenplay?
@WE, No, wait, scratch that. I found the links. LOL.
@GB, looks like my ergonomics sucks on this blog.
I should maybe put the episode links in a more obvious way. 🤔
I am correcting episode 14. (a forest of voice-over, why I did that??!). It’s going a little faster than I thought. And yet I’m really reworking it in depth. One day I’ll show an example of a before/after scene. But there are so many essential elements already present that it’s well guided. Just render everything better, visually. Trim the fat. Getting back into the character’s skin to improve the dialogue. The crazy thing is that I have extra ideas.
It’s really nice to not have to worry about the photo-screenplay anymore. That stuff was slowing me down too much. My goal is a complete fix of all episodes 14 to 66 before anything else. And probably eliminate one or two episodes in part 4 (complicated because it needs to dispatch and reorganize the scenes).
