Two worlds collide in MBC drama ‘W’

 

tumblr_inline_oak3pvht6Y1sp3v51_540.png

From romance to comedy to suspense, it is difficult to categorize MBC’s upcoming 16-episode drama “W.” 

Featuring model-turned-actor Lee Jong-suk and actress Han Hyo-joo, “W” follows the romance that develops between a man and a woman living in two different dimensions, unknowingly “helping each other discover life’s purpose,” according to director Jung Dae-yoon at the press conference held at MBC headquarters in Sangam-dong, Seoul, Monday.

Riddled with doubts about her competence, the female protagonist Oh Yeon-joo, a doctor in her 30s played by Han, finds herself teleporting between reality and an alternate dimension, where she gets involved with the Olympic gold medalist and media mogul Kang Chul, portrayed by Lee. Created by Oh’s renowned cartoonist father, played by actor Kim Eui-sung, the fantasy world began innocently as the artist’s new project titled “W.” 

“I feel very lucky and grateful to have received (the drama’s) script,” said Han, who is returning to primetime television after a six-year hiatus. “I’ve been very drawn to this role, and often found myself treating this fantasy situation as if it were real.”

According to Jung, “W” is unprecedented and such mixed genre has never been attempted in a Korean drama. Although this may attract viewers out of curiosity, it also comes with its own set of challenges.

“We are planning on including a recap before the start of every episode,” said Jung when asked about the possibility of viewers potentially losing interest due to the constant back-and-forth between the two dimensions. “Also the actors have been great at personifying real-life emotions that people can easily empathize with. I don’t think the audience will have a big issue following the plot.”

Additionally, given the drama’s unique narrative, there is just as much focus on the show’s visual effects as the actors’ performances, both of which lead each other to produce a cohesive product, said Jung. 

However, when “W” and KBS’ internationally popular romance drama “Uncontrollably Fond” are set to air simultaneously, the new melodrama may find it harder than usual to attract and retain viewers. 

“Rather than thinking of (“Uncontrollably Fond”) as our competitor, it is our priority to focus on self-development and produce the best show we can,” said Han. 

Replacing the recently concluded series “Lucky Romance,” “W” will air on MBC every Wednesday and Thursday at 10 p.m., starting Wednesday.

As anticipation rises for the official release of MBC’s new drama “W,“ Chorokbaem Media released more still shots of the first episode. If you haven‘t seen the first yet, you can check them out here. 

The drama ”W“ revolves around a fated collision of two worlds; the fictional world of the webtoon ”W“ and the real world. A romance soon follows between Kang-chul, played by Lee Jong-suk, a fictional character from the webtoon and Oh Yeon-joo, played by Han Hyo-joo, a surgeon from the real world. 

Chorokbaem Media released stills that show the first encounter between Kang-chul and Oh Yeon-joo.

The upcoming MBC drama “W,” which features Lee, is slated to air every Wednesday and Thursday at 10 p.m. This overlaps with the time slot of the KBS drama “Uncontrollably Fond,” which is currently airing and stars Kim.

Lee said in a press briefing on Tuesday that he almost appeared as a cameo in Kim’s drama.

“I was about to appear as a cameo in ‘Uncontrollably Fond’ at the request of Woo-bin. However, that became impossible as the running hours for ‘W’ were finalized.”

“Woo-bin and I will continue to support each other. We are more companions than rivals,” Lee said.

“W” is a love story about a rookie female doctor (played by actress Han Hyo-joo) and the wealthy CEO (played by Lee) of Channel W, a broadcasting company.

W 8-minute Preview Translation

 

(KC: Kang Cheol, YJ: Yeon Joo, words on screen in italic)

Note: Thanks to @rainy9 for her draft translation for the first half.

Please watch the preview here.

KC: Answer me!!

YJ: You will regret it!

For me, there are two worlds

existing

KC: What you said about the world you live

what is that?

The world of drawing and

YJ: It’s impossible, how can he still live?

Dad: That’s why I am going to end the life of this guy.

YJ: Instead of being being caught and eaten, it is better to catch and eat.

The world that is drawn

KC: The murderer’s motive is unknown, the possibility of him being a psychopath is low. We still haven’t got a strand of hair or not even a witness. It has been 10 years already.

The two worlds of comic and reality

YJ: It is not time flowing

YJ: Save him please, I think he can be saved.

Collision in July 2016

YJ: In the comic, the comic I read

MBC Wed Thurs miniseries W

Voice over (prosecutor): A defendant is well-known, as a teenage idol and the negative influence this case has to society is incomparable.

YJ’s boss: I am addicted to this lately (holding a W comic book)

YJ: How can there be women who dislike with Kang Cheol? He is handsome, capable and with good manners, and sexy.

#Flowerboy

#Fulllevelspec

#Reallyaguytornfrompagesofcomicbook

Kang Cheol

YJ’s boss: No. The father is writer Oh Sung Moo, how can his daughter be just… Oh Yeon Joo-ah!

OYJ: I am sorry, I am just OYJ.

#Beforewordsactionfirst

#Koreabest

Webtoonwriterdaughter

Oh Yeon Joo

Dad’s assistant: Something big happened. Teacher has disappeared. (Referring to OYJ’s dad, teacher is just a respectful way of addressing, not just limited to teacher, like they also call doctors using this word in Korea)

Dad’s assistant: He  said he would kill KC in the last scene.

(KC being stabbed by a creepy black guy)

YJ: Why? Why? Why kill KC? Why?

Dad’s assistant: I didn’t kill him. Why kill KC? This is ridiculous.

YJ: (read the back of the photo) Instead of being being caught and eaten, it is better to catch and eat.

YJ (after being dragged into KC world): What is this?

YJ: Anybody here calls 119? Someone killed a person here.

YJ: Pnemothorax, right? Right. Right. Right. Then I need to puncture this.

Voice in the background: Hurry!

YJ: You who ignored me won’t know how good I Oh Yeon Joo is. Now I know I am the type who becomes stronger in crisis. A natural born doctor.

Saves a character inside a comic

KC’s secretary: Even the namecard is fake, the phone number and email on the namecard are all false.

KC: No matter how, we have to find her. This woman seems to have become a key in my life.

The mysterious woman

Can she become a key in my life?

YJ: This… is me, isn’t it?

YJ: Why do you want to find me? If you find me, then what?

Dad’s assistant: Hello?

YJ: My dad had been dragged into the comic world that night, just like I was dragged into it! Dad must be still trapped inside the comic. Even though I don’t know if he was kidnapped… it was because of that we did not receive any news.

Dad’s assistant: What kind of rubbish are you talking about? It was all drawn by us. I drew it, every single detail on the background was drawn by my hand.

Dad’s assistant: Teacher (as YJ’s dad reappeared in the room)

YJ: (walked out of the store/raining scene) Comic,comic. Whether he die or not he is just the main character.

Dad’s assistant: Seems he want to kill him again

OJ: Dad, you also saw right? KC who is alive. I just saw it lately. His blood is warm, his heart is beating.

Dad’s assistant: Let’s stop this.

Dad: Find a poison.

Dad’s assistant: Poison?

Dad: Something that can be easily found in the hospital

YJ: No! Dad! That is murder!

YJ: Let go! (to a nurse)

YJ: Are you ok? I asked if you are ok.

YJ: I was just walking past and it just happened that… that nurse is a bit strange…

KC: Finally we meet. Oh Yeon Joo-ssi (Dad is upset for not being able to control KC)

KC: That day it was too dark and I couldn’t see clearly, you are really beautiful woman. (I said) Even dogs and cows call themselves beautiful, I take that back. (T/N: “dogs and cows” is an idiomatic expression in Korean meaning like anyone in a negative way)

YJ: You were caught, right? Even though you said that, you thought dogs and cows are beautiful, right?

YJ: Then, you can help me?

YJ: Just help me leave here quietly.

KJ: See you next time.

YJ (at a bus station): I am hungry.

YJ: It’s ridiculous.

KC (driving up in a Ferrari): Oh Yeon Joo ssi

YJ: How can it be two months already? This is comic, right? Because it is a comic, so the time passes as needed by the story.

KC (fastening seat belt for YJ): How were you during this time?

YJ: What time, it wasn’t even 30 minutes yet…

YJ: Oh, that’s right. This is a serial comic.

YJ (walking towards KC in a store): Oh right, so something has to happen for the main character, something that can serve as an ending.

KC: It matches you, this one?

(YJ slaps him)

YJ: I am sorry.

Dad’s assistant: How can that happen?

YJ: Think about it. This comic has been published serially for 7 years. In these 7 years, 15 years passed in KC’s life, so life can only be compressed and go forward. Only important things take place.

Dad’s assistant: So did you also see Yoon So Hee?

YJ: Of course.

Dad’s assistant: Her breasts…

YJ: Yick!

KC: The person we were trying to find so hard, maybe she’s in another dimension? So even if we spend our whole life, we may not be able to find her?

Dad: He’s a monster, and only I didn’t know about it. I have created a monster.

Dad: How can I just let him go? I will be caught and eaten, I should have ended him, that time on Hangang Bridge.

Dad: It’s my work, inside my work, I should be God, because everything was created by me.

I am going to be the judge

Because they are created by me!

YJ: Save KC please. Save him please. I think he can be saved.

(KC standing outside the car after the accident)

YJ: I know about you, President. You think I can be the key to your life. Because you are the main character!

KC: Main character?

KC: You! Who are you really?

(YJ in bed) KC: Finally you came to me. The key of my life.

KC: But this woman is really pretty.

Seo Do Yoon: What?

YJ (gets up from bed): Where is this place?

YJ: This is KC’s room?! Right. This is KC’s bed, that, oh God…

YJ: I am being sucked into here again, why, what? What happened?

(KC kisses YJ) YJ: W is action hero comic, but how come it often become like a romantic drama?

The boundary of the two broken worlds

KC: The reason I exist…

KC: My first impression for that woman is right… stupid crazy woman, but all the things I can’t understand about my life, mixed with all the crazy things OHY said, all… all of them seemed right…

Love that cannot be realised

YJ: No matter what, your heart is shaken, that is the rule!

And the reality that is being revealed

Guy: If KC has really found the murderer, what will happen to us?

YJ (behind bars): Even though I want to explain it, I am not in the position to explain.

2016 beyond genre and dimension

Totally new drama is going to start

HJ: (facing the gun) You will regret this.

KC: I am not going to regret this.
