I’ve seen a lot of people share the same justification for why he has no real flaws: he’s a webtoon character, thus not real, thus does not have to be bound by the unspoken law that all people are imperfect. Also his backstory is so sad! But there’s something sadder than his backstory - his personality, which is as two-dimensional as the lines that were drawn to create him. He wants desperately to live, and you feel for him because…well, he’s not just a webtoon character he’s a human being goddammit! Look at his perfect skin.
That sounds great! He’s rich, goodlooking, with an incredible sense of justice (this is where I swoon). Our main character happens to be perfect. Strangely enough, the best example is Kang Chul. But disappointingly, nearly every single one of W’s characters are dull.
What we viewers deserve out of such a concept are heart-wrenching characters whose personalities you could find within a human in this world who would persuade you that creations are self-aware. The idea of the story is that the boundaries between reality and fiction are blurred, causing a mere created character to act and feel as a real human does. I have a burning passion for well-written characters, and I thought W would be the perfect drama to see it being done. Yet, as much of a letdown as the romance was, what ultimately kept me from giving this show a higher score was its characters. What’s not adorable about a cool guy who’s curious about this ditzy girl? Then, you suddenly hit the point of doubt: but…but why, though? Why are they together? How? Sadly, there is no satisfying answer to these questions. In the beginning episodes, you find it cute. Love is the easiest way to connect the two main characters. Is the romance necessary? Yes - to an extent. Fair enough, but that doesn’t get my heart racing. However, the writers never give you any reason to like this couple except that they just are a couple - it’s the unspoken drama rule that because they’re the main characters, they have to be together. I’ll admit that there was incredible potential in their relationship. Some might disagree, but I found Kang Chul and Yeon Joo’s loveline to be one of the most poorly-written in any K-drama I’ve seen. One thing I found particularly problematic was the romance. A show amazing in concept, it fails to deliver in some of the most important aspects. While I enjoyed W and the anxiety its suspense caused me, this drama is not perfect. You become determined to understand exactly what will happen next. W is especially intriguing because of its unpredictability - even if you grow used to the plot, each new problem creates an addicting mystery. At times it's confusing and borders on being nonsensical, but it’s logical enough to make it worth watching. It’s not the most intelligent story I’ve seen. The writers of the show crafted a plot that is bound to keep you on your toes and send your brain into overdrive. I, like many others, was captivated by the idea of a webtoon coming to life. W was certainly one of the most anticipated dramas of the season, and for good reason: a creative storyline paired with an exemplary leading cast.
