![]() On top of that, what happened to W ceasing to exist once the story is over? Earlier in the show, once Kang Chul gained awareness of the two worlds, everything had stopped in W. What happened to the story of W following the main character’s arc? Shouldn’t the story have followed Kang Chul’s journey from the brink of death back to life, and not only the fact that the villains had died? That was weird. really? We – and Yeon Joo – are supposed to feel ok about his death? Talk about a high price to pay for your art.Īlso, while the twist on the ending was rather interesting and quite useful for getting us the happy ending that this show needed, I felt like this dramaworld’s rules were blatantly ignored or changed in order for that to happen. I get that it’s supposed to be a loving fatherly sort of sacrifice, and that Dad felt too sinful to continue to live, and that it was his way of paying for his sins, but. There are lots more unanswered questions where those came from, but suffice to say, these unanswered questions started to bemuse me in increasing measure, the more they stacked up. Why didn’t Dad have free will anymore? And, how on earth did Faceless Dad manage to survive, not being able to eat or, y’know, breathe?Īnother thing I was curious about was, why Killer Guy seemed unaffected by the reset, since he demonstrates that he knows what happened during that “dream” timeline. I was also really curious about why Dad then had to operate as Killer Guy’s zombie. First of all, how the heck did Faceless Killer Guy even steal Dad’s face? Having him explain that he “ate him up” doesn’t count as an answer. In terms of unanswered questions, I was most curious about the logic behind Faceless Killer Guy stealing Dad’s face. He had been a in coma, yes, but he doesn’t suffer amnesia post-coma, so this didn’t make sense to me either. ![]() His burning desire to find answers to all the suspicions and analysis that he’d had prior to his stabbing wouldn’t be simply eradicated by a dream. It went places that I didn’t expect it to go, and it made me think in the process, while entertaining and engaging me. I found the bold, decisive writing, and the excellent execution very impressive indeed. More than that though, Show felt daring, which I really really loved. As a drama lover, I got a particular kick out of stuff like that. I loved watching our heroine Yeon Joo (Han Hyo Joo) comically-frantically working to apply story and episodic logic to her situation, like understanding the workings of a time skip, or figuring out a way to end an episode of W. Each hour just zoomed right by, leaving me curious about what the next hour would bring. This show made me want to watch back-to-back episodes, and I didn’t even get distracted by other things and pause in the middle of an episode. In a drama climate where I was feeling like I sorta-maybe-could-be in a drama rut with each show I was watching, this was nothing short of Amazing. I very quickly felt like I knew what I needed to know, in order to feel invested in these characters, and I wanted to know their story.
