W is Korea's best webtoon series.
Kang Chul finds out through Oh Yeon Joo...
that he's a main character of a webtoon series.
He comes out to Yeon Joo's world, reality.
So I guess this is where you created me.
With those petty fingers of yours.
He tries to get his life back.
Through Oh Seong Moo, he realises that his life is...
a fake reality that the artist set up.
Finally,
in order to create a proper ending to his life,
he chooses death.
That moment, the webtoon series W ends.
(The end)
After two months,
Yeon Joo, who couldn't forget Chul...
accidentally finds out that Chul is not dead.
Please save him. I think it's possible.
What do you mean? Isn't it over?
Time didn't pass. It stopped.
"The end" meant that the time stopped in the last scene.
He's still in the river right now.
(The End)
(To be continued)
(Episode 7)
- I don't want to eat ramyeon. - No, not ramyeon.
Do you remember?
I think...
I heard this from Mr Oh a long, long time ago.
It was about W.
I heard you...
You created W.
He said you created...
the character Kang Chul.
- What do you mean? - He said...
he created W based on the story you wrote as a kid.
You don't remember that?
That's 9.7. She lost it.
Firing point 1, 9.7.
Oh, there she goes.
No way! I can't believe it!
We should've won!
Girls!
Keep it down!
I told you. Keep the volume down.
Mum, this is an important moment. Come hurry here.
Did we win a gold medal?
We were winning the whole time, but it just became a tie.
By the way, isn't she absolutely gorgeous?
She's only a high school student, and she's really good.
She's shooting.
What do we do, Yeon Joo? I think my heart will burst.
Let's see how it goes.
Nancy Johnson, the American shooter...
We lost it!
- No way! - I don't believe it.
That's a shame.
She must've been too nervous.
- Let's go together. - Let's eat.
We're doomed. It's a shame.
Isn't she really beautiful?
She is really beautiful.
I thought we would win the gold medal!
Gosh.
He is 18 years old. He's a sophomore in high school.
He's a high school sophomore.
He's a national shooting athlete.
He is 180cm tall.
No.
He's 185cm tall.
His name is...
What should I call him?
Yeon Joo.
- Your friend Seul A called. - Okay.
- Hello? - Are you done?
I should call the teacher that I can't get it done by tomorrow.
- I didn't do it either. I'm busy. - What are you doing?
I finally found the man of my dreams.
Gosh, did you change your ideal type again?
No. It's real this time.
Listen.
He's a high school sophomore, and a national shooting athlete.
He joins a competition and turns the game around.
And he's a genius too. He's a good student and a good athlete.
He's taller than 185cm. He's thin, but he's got a muscular body.
He's very sweet.
He's kind and funny too.
He's the best, isn't he?
Who is it? Does he go to our school?
- No. - Then which school is he from?
Let me see his face.
You can't see his face.
You can't meet him.
Okay.
See you tomorrow. Bye.
(High school sophomore, national shooting athlete)
- How is it going... - Don't look! Don't!
I didn't look. What's wrong with you?
Yeon Joo, I need to see it.
I have to see it to tell you anything. Come on.
I need to see it. Let me see.
That's a new character!
He's nothing like Chul.
It's too difficult.
I can't draw lines.
Mr Oh said you draw well.
I heard you once wanted to be a cartoonist.
I haven't drawn for ages.
And I am not used to this pen.
We didn't have this before.
If you can't do it, just give up.
- When Mr Oh comes back... - Hey.
Don't say anything to Dad.
I'm going to save him.
I'm going to save Chul.
Gosh.
Not everyone can draw a cartoon. Good luck.
(Life is sometimes...)
- Did you see that? - Someone just fell off.
- Hurry up! - Flash the light over there.
I found her!
The prison breaker is here!
She's here!
Freeze! Don't move.
Yes. They say he isn't hurt.
I don't know that. I'll let you know when he wakes up.
There is no need for you to come over right now.
He's awake. I'll call you back.
What happened?
Explain why you went to Han River and why you fell off that bridge.
Someone pushed you, right?
Why on earth did you go there in the middle of the night?
What happened?
That's what I'm asking you.
What is the date today?
What did I do today?
- I don't know when it started to... - What's wrong?
You don't remember?
You suddenly disappeared after you visited Yeon Joo.
Everyone was busy looking for Yeon Joo after she escaped,
and you were missing all day.
I tried to find you, but you didn't answer your phone.
Then I got a call from the police that you fell off a bridge.
Why did you go to Han River at that hour and fell off a bridge?
What's going on?
Yeon Joo was...
- You're awake. - Yeon Joo was what?
What happened to you at the river?
What were you going to say?
Yeon Joo was caught.
- Did they catch her? - I just got a call. She was caught.
Gosh. That's a relief.
They would've blamed us if she didn't get caught.
- Where was she caught? - She was in the detention centre.
What do you mean?
Are you saying she was in there and they couldn't find her?
Where are you going?
What are you doing? It's late.
Tell them I need to see her now.
Suspect Oh who escaped from Seoul Detention Centre...
and caused a disturbance was caught a while ago.
The police expected Suspect Oh to have fled to downtown already,
but it appears she was hiding inside the detention centre and got caught.
She is arrested and now being taken to Seoul Jungbu Police Station.
The investigation is expected to continue throughout the night.
Mr Kang.
- Good evening. - You must've heard the news.
We're taking the suspect to Seoul Jungbu Police Station. You may...
I'm sorry, but I need to talk to her right now.
Wait. I can't let you do that.
Please make an official request for an interview.
It won't take long.
Please give me five minutes.
Are you okay?
I was curious what happens after jumping off a bridge. You seem fine.
- How... - How are you still alive?
When you threw yourself from the bridge,
the river police's boat was passing under that bridge coincidentally.
An even bigger coincidence was that...
there were two divers on that boat.
The moment you fell, the divers went in the water and saved you...
right before you stopped breathing.
You were so lucky.
I can't believe someone can be that lucky.
What about your father?
He's alive.
Two months have passed over there already.
He's healed. He went on a trip.
It wasn't...
your father who saved me, was it?
It wasn't my dad.
I saved you.
I'm the one who saved you.
That means...
this would be...
the third time you owe me your life.
How could you do it?
Do you want to know?
Answer my question first,
and I'll tell you.
You're saying things I said to you before.
If you lost your goal in life,
you can set up a new goal.
Don't jump off a bridge and give up your life.
How can taking revenge be your only goal in life?
If you're not sure what to do with your life,
I'll tell you what you should do right now.
Get me out of here.
Not the way I escaped before, but legally.
Get me out in a fair way.
I don't want to be chased by the police every time I go to see you.
You said you owe me your life, but you've done nothing for me.
You know what an ungrateful person you are, right?
I want you to pay me back from now on.
Do everything in your power and save me from this.
You're a competent man, right?
If you want to know how I saved you,
get me out first.
I'll tell you after I get out of the detention centre.
Are you asking me to bail out a prison breaker?
Do you think that's easy?
I know it's not easy. That's why you should work very hard to do it.
Don't think about anything else.
Sir. I can't let you talk to her any longer.
I'm going now.
Also,
your life isn't my dad's work from now on.
That's already over completely.
From now on,
think of this as the sequel that we'll make together.
My dad and I don't have the same taste.
I hate things like ***, revenge,
gunfight or thriller.
What I like is...
sweet romance.
You should go.
(Emergency Transport)
I'm sorry.
If you want to visit her,
come to the police station tomorrow morning.
Okay, I'll do that.
(Ministry of Justice)
President Kang.
Where have you been?
(Yoon So Hee, Chul's friend and personal assistant)
President Kang.
Where have you been?
What's wrong?
(Seo Do Yoon)
(Seo Do Yoon, Chul's bodyguard)
Call the counsel for me.
It's regarding Oh Yeon Joo.
Can't you hear me? I asked where you were hiding.
Why aren't you answering me?
Say something.
Say anything.
She's starting again.
Where did this thing come from?
- Sir. - She looks normal,
but why is she doing this to me?
Forget it. She needs a psychiatric test.
If I talk to her any longer, I'll lose my mind.
He's here.
Really?
Hello.
I heard you were coming,
so we chose this place.
It's very pleasant here.
I'm sorry for breaking the rules.
It's no trouble at all.
You're considered as one of us.
Would you like some coffee?
It's all right.
We turned off the cameras.
Please feel free to talk.
You came early.
Did you figure out a way?
I heard it's not easy to bail someone who broke from prison.
It's because you have power.
Who are you...
Who are you to decide things in my life?
Who gave you the right?
I don't think I need you to tell me how you saved me.
You must have drawn me yourself.
I don't know why, but you must have.
Maybe it's possible because you're his daughter.
Actually, I don't care about that.
However,
do you think it's your right...
to draw and save me?
Why did you save me when I chose to die?
Who are you?
Are you a creator of beings?
You tried to kill me when I desperately wanted to live.
Now you brought me back from death.
Is this a joke?
Is it thrilling and fun for you people?
How...
How could you say that?
Why would I...
You probably thought I'd thank you for saving me.
A sequel?
You said it was a sequel.
You like sweet romance,
so you wanted to play with me?
What can I say?
You can just come here and enjoy when you're bored,
then you'll go back to your world. It's that simple.
Did you bring me back for your romance?
Am I some kind of toy?
How...
How could you...
take it that way?
How do you expect me to live?
Do you know where I have been?
(Kang Yoon)
You have both parents,
but I don't.
I thought they died,
but they never existed.
I was born alone as an orphan...
at the tip of an alcoholic man's pen.
Why...
had I been sad?
What had I longed for?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
You must feel proud of yourself, but don't.
What you did was useless.
I'm not grateful.
Why did you create a sequel when no one wants to continue this life?
I did a useless thing.
Do you realise...
that you made a mistake?
Yes.
I realise that now.
Why did I even bother?
I shouldn't have cared if you stayed in the water forever.
Why did I work so hard for over two months...
all by myself?
I know.
Why did you?
You should have kept working at the hospital and dated people.
Why did you do this?
Why did you hold on to such a pathetic webtoon...
- and come here handcuffed... - It's because I love you.
I know it doesn't make sense,
but I fell in love with you.
I love you.
You're being impossible today.
I love you.
You know that doesn't work on me.
It's because I love you.
You were acting so big as if you're someone who never gets swayed.
You easily got swayed by those little words.
Don't be so *** me.
I don't come here because I want to.
I get dragged in here because you keep thinking about me.
You thought about me in the water and even now.
Am I wrong?
You're right.
I was afraid.
Afraid of what?
I was afraid I may never be able to see you again.
Are you sure this is okay? I think the detective saw us.
I don't care.
We're making arrangements. Don't worry.
Is he still talking to her?
Did they know each other before the incident?
- What? - Excuse me?
That's not possible.
They seemed close.
It's not just close. They seemed very close.
If I were to pick the happiest moment in my 30 years of life,
funnily enough, I'd pick the night I was lying in the cell alone.
I feel bad for my mum, but that was...
I wonder if she's home.
Yeon Joo.
She's not home yet. What time is it?
Oh, my. Why isn't she here yet?
I completely forgot about my mum who would be waiting for me.
- My gosh. - Who was it?
Was it you? Was it you?
How can you be eating snacks when someone is dying?
I didn't care if I couldn't work at the hospital any more.
My life started to feel unrealistic.
I almost deluded myself that...
my life here at this moment was real.
Prisoner 4205. You have a visitor.
Okay.
Where is Mr Kang?
He's busy. Please take a seat.
He wanted me to deliver his message.
- His message? - He'll later tell you legal issues.
Mr Kang wanted me to tell you this.
I found out that there are many types of...
sweet romance that girls like.
- What? - Tell her to narrow it down...
so I can pay her back.
Number one, a Cinderella story with glamorous parties.
- Excuse me? - Number two,
a romantic trip to the country.
Number three, a simple, everyday romance.
What on earth is this?
Right. I'll add one more.
Number four, a bold and sexy...
adult-only romance.
- What? - Mr Kang wanted me to tell you...
he personally prefers number four.
Please pick one. Which one would you like?
Pick what? What is this?
I heard you told him to pay back what he owes with sweet romance.
No. This isn't what I meant.
This feels like business asking me to choose one of those options.
I didn't ask him to come up with a business plan.
This is how he deals with things.
You should pick one so we can start getting things ready.
Are you seriously...
telling me to choose one?
Yes.
What was number four?
A bold and sexy, adult-only...
No. Not that one.
- Maybe number one? - Sure.
- A Cinderella story with parties. - No.
- How about number three? - A simple everyday romance.
No. Hold on.
I do want to experience glamorous parties.
- Is it number one, then? - Hang on.
Gosh. You're an impatient person.
Number three?
That's four.
Number three?
Number three? All right.
I'll let Mr Kang know.
Wait.
I'm still stuck in here. Why are you telling me that now?
You'll be out soon.
- How? - Our attorney will tell you.
(President Kang Chul)
Sir, Mr Son is here.
Mr Son.
Please come in.
I heard you are getting married.
Married?
Just on the document.
We're arranging papers so it appears you married him last year in the US.
Wait. Are you saying you already...
registered me as married? Me?
Yes. You have two problems.
One is you can't identify yourself.
The other is you ran away at first without giving a testimony.
You were with Mr Kang on the night of attack at the rooftop.
You should state that you ran away because you were afraid of...
your relationship with Mr Kang getting revealed.
It sounds valid and guarantees your identity.
Are you really going to register your marriage with Yeon Joo?
It seems that way.
That's the only way to get her out.
I know you have to prove her identity,
but registering her as your wife may be too much.
If you legally become a married couple,
there is no way of escaping it.
If I can't escape, I'll just have to live with her.
She's an unidentified woman.
How are you going to deal with your assets later?
I found out her identity,
and assets don't mean anything.
What?
Assets don't mean anything to me now.
That's why I wanted to see you.
I want to stop looking for the criminal.
I'm giving up on finding the true criminal.
I want you to give up as well.
What on earth are you talking about?
That's meaningless now, too.
I don't deserve to continue.
You and I talked on the phone...
after you visited Yeon Joo.
After that, you said something.
I heard it, but I don't remember what it was.
You told me that...
there are moments that you don't quite remember.
I understand what you meant. I experienced it myself.
I was on the phone with you,
but when I came to my senses,
I couldn't remember what you said next.
You were missing all day.
Yes.
Did you go to another world?
Yes.
Where is that?
I can't tell you.
- Why not? - If I told you,
it would be so *** you.
It'd be unbearable.
So I can't tell you.
You're making me frustrated. I came all the way here.
- And you can't tell me anything? - No.
I can never tell you.
I can tell you two things.
I know who Oh Yeon Joo is.
Thankfully, she's not a strange lunatic.
There would be no problem even if she were to be my wife.
I'm just worried she won't stay beside me.
And I no longer need to find the criminal.
Don't ask me why.
The W project ends here.
Then just tell me this.
Why did you go to Han River?
Why did you fall?
I wanted to die.
I didn't know how to continue.
I still don't know.
But I felt like living.
So I should think more...
about what to do from no on.
The victim is a third generation Korean American.
May 2015,
you first met Chul who was on a business trip...
and got married in Chicago in September. Is this true?
- Yes. - At the time of arrest,
you were living with Mr Kang...
at the penthouse of Seoul Prime Hotel.
- Yes. - When we ambushed,
you ran away because...
you two were fighting seriously...
and were considering divorce.
Chul testified that you didn't want the press to find out...
that you two are married. Is his testimony true?
Yes.
Wear the ring first.
- Is this a wedding ring? - Yes.
Many people are watching you, so wear it from now on.
Let's go.
Put this on first.
Why?
You'll soon find out when you go outside.
She's here.
- Welcome, Mrs Kang. - Welcome, Mrs Kang.
Mrs Kang?
They've been waiting for you.
Say hello.
They are the security team. Mr Park, Mr Yoon and Mr Oh.
- You recognise them, right? - Yes.
And they are hotel staff.
- It's nice to meet you, Mrs Kang. - It's nice to meet you, Mrs Kang.
It's nice to meet you too.
Hey. I know the situation,
but do you seriously want me...
to stay here with Mr Kang? In the same room with him?
Yes, you are married. You should share the room.
The staff are watching.
But even so, it's a little...
I filled the tub with water, Ma'am.
Wash up and rest.
Mr Kang will come home at night.
I'm married?
(Who is Ms Oh, Who Secretly Married President Kang?)
(The Mystery of the Secret Marriage. Korean American?)
No way.
(Who is President Kang's Woman?)
(President Kang Secretly Married a Beautiful Woman)
Am I...
really married?
Gosh, I feel much better after the shower.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Everything is in pair.
So it was number four.
Number four is your taste.
A bold and sexy, adult-only...
Right?
- When did you come? - You said it was number three.
Are you sure you like everyday romance?
I don't think so.
I was just...
checking what it is. I didn't know what it was.
Really?
I bet men's underwear exists in the other world as well.
Just let it slide.
- Should I let it slide? - Let it slide!
We haven't seen each other for days. Stop teasing me.
- Why are you smiling? - I'm happy to see you.
Gosh. You haven't even visited me once.
I was too busy.
It turns out getting married unexpectedly is tough.
I had to create a scandal and match it with my schedule.
And I had to memorise it to testify.
I know. It was too much.
I said I like sweet romance, not getting married.
We can start doing sweet things now.
I studied hard too.
- You studied about it? - Right.
I had something to do here.
Stay there.
What's wrong with my heart?
What's going on?
- Oh dear! - Don't come out.
Have a seat.
I've never done it before, so I'm not sure it'll work.
What is it?
It said to tie your hair.
- What? - I asked the female staff,
and they got me this book.
It's a book about the sweet, humble and romantic things women love.
What?
- Stay still. - Oh, dear.
Stop it.
- You're really going to do it? - Yes.
("Comfortable and Lovely")
You studied with this book?
I had to study. I knew nothing.
I was asked to pay back and I didn't know anything.
Studying is my forte.
- By the way, do you like this? - What?
Is this sweet?
I love it.
You do? I'm glad.
It's interesting. How is this sweet?
I can tell you majored engineering.
How?
It's your first time doing this, isn't it?
I never thought you were like this. I'd never seen this side of you.
Pick what other things you want to do.
If we try hard, we can finish 10 things a day.
This isn't homework.
Don't you think we have to do a lot when we can?
We don't know when we will part again.
Don't look at me like that. You might disappear.
I think something is wrong with my heart.
I get swayed easily.
So don't cry or suddenly tell me you love me...
if you want to stay with me for a long time.
I give up.
It's too difficult.
Let's say I did it once since I tied the hair.
Okay.
Good job.
What else shall we do? We have time until we have dinner.
You shouldn't read books like that.
Come with me.
What are we going to do?
Goodness.
What are you doing?
Lie down.
What?
Gosh.
I heard reading is done like this.
Page 172.
Here it is.
Did you memorise the pages?
I studied a lot.
See what else is there.
There's also shopping groceries together.
Is grocery shopping fun for real women?
Of course it's fun...
when the man carries the shopping basket...
and wonder what we'll make.
Then let's go grocery shopping later.
Really?
How about tying her shoelaces?
That sounds great.
How about this?
I'd love that.
How about this?
This one is easy.
Are you doing homework to pay back?
If I'm not?
I think you're enjoying it more.
No way.
President Kang.
Don't you know how to knock?
I'm sorry. I'm not used to the fact that you're married.
What is it?
Do Yoon would like to see you at the rooftop garden.
Why didn't he come in?
I don't know, Sir.
All right.
Mark the ones you want to do today.
I keep telling you, but I like adult-only things.
My heart hurts.
(Caller ID Restricted)
Hello?
Hello...
Where are you?
How did you come back to life?
(How did you come back to life?)
President Kang, is everything all right?
Yes, it's fine.
Why did you press the emergency button?
I pressed it by mistake.
Okay, Sir.
- Do Yoon. - President Kang.
Trace this caller ID.
Which number?
A call I received five minutes ago.
Find the caller ID. Something seems odd.
Okay.
Why didn't you come into the room?
I couldn't say it while Yeon Joo was there.
What's going on?
(Resignation letter)
So Hee turned in a resignation letter.
I saw her a moment ago. She told me to give it to you.
I understand how you feel,
but you should talk to President Kang in person.
I don't want to.
I can't do it.
I don't want to see him.
Could you give it to him instead?
Come on, you know it's a fake marriage.
Do you think it is?
I don't think it is.
Even if it isn't,
leave personal feelings out of work.
I guess I can't be a professional.
I can't continue being his personal assistant...
and see that woman.
Tell her to take a few days off.
I'll go see her.
Okay.
By the way,
just listen.
It's very strange.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for everything.
You'll be back anyway.
I don't think so.
Let's shake hands.
What?
What's wrong?
Her hand disappeared?
Like a ghost,
she was translucent.
It doesn't make sense,
but I definitely saw it.
Gosh.
Have I lost my mind?
President Kang, what about dinner?
Please prepare it. We'll eat.
Your wife has fallen asleep.
- She's asleep? - Yes.
She must have been tired.
I'll eat with her once she wakes up.
You'll be hungry.
- It's all right. - Okay, Sir.
("Comfortable and Lovely")
She marked so many.
(Caller ID Restricted)
Hello?
Where are you?
How did you go back?
(How did you go back?)
You can't die on your own.
Do you know how long I waited?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Don't you know me?
I killed your family...
(I killed your family...)
at your house 10 years ago.
(at your house 10 years ago.)
There aren't any.
There aren't any rules.
It was just a recent set-up.
It was a set-up to make the main character strong.
Who...
are you?
I said I killed everyone in your family.
Just four shots.
I shot them straight on the forehead.
I'm a great shooter just like you.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me? You can't die now.
This won't end...
until you and I finish our business.
I see you have a new family now.
It's her turn now.
I'll shoot a hole on her forehead.
(I'll shoot a hole on her forehead.)
Wait for it.
Hello?
Hello...
(True criminal, an unidentified man who killed Chul's family)
(W)
I won't die. I'm immortal in this world.
There is no principle without variables.
It's not normal for you to bleed.
It means you'll die if you get shot.
Does the true criminal know me?
The criminal is in the real world.
Promise me one thing.
If you go back to your world, draw a scene where I dream.
Draw a scene where I wake up from a dream, okay?
Yeon Joo. Forget about me for now.
Character's set-up, reasons of existence.
Everything will be solved if we go back to the time we haven't met.
