    Thrilling drama with a unique plot

    W: Two worlds is an exciting, fast-paced drama that will leave you constantly guessing on the edge of your seat. The storyline is extremely unique and the main leads did a fantastic job in playing their roles. The acting was powerful and I really felt for them in some of the scenes. Although there are a few clichés such as good vs evil, the plot is well written and pretty unpredictable. My only caveat is that some of the subplots in Oh Yeon-joo's world were not as interesting. Overall, this drama is a must-watch and most certainly among the best kdramas out there.

    loved it

    I really loved this so much. The story, the acting, the directing is superb. Comedy, romance and drama is well balanced. And it is so smartly written that i really respect the writer.

    I would easily give 10 star if it wasn't for the finale episode. But i can hardly blame anyone. This series needed at least 4-5 episodes more. And in order to tell whats happening, story barely focused even its main characters and romance. However the actors were so good to express the ever changing dynamic of the hero and heroine we get the feelings.

    And if it is ever get to remade by japan, America or any other country i would totally watch it again.

    Definitely one of the BEST Dramas

    This is definitely one of the best dramas I've seen in a while, and I think it might just be my favorite yet, and believe me I have seen a lot of TV Series.. The acting is absolutely phenomenal and I love everything about this drama! The concept and plot is original and unique, and the actors have great chemistry. With each episode you keep getting pulled in by the story to the point you cannot wait for the next episode to come out. It holds a perfect blend of humor, action, suspense/mystery, drama, and love!! I never write reviews but I'm just so in love with this one that I want it to get the full recognition it deserves.

    For any of you considering it, I truly and highly recommend this drama!

    Unique plot but sometimes doesn't make a sense

    W: Two Worlds Apart is a beatiful drama with unique plot. The idea of story was original, I've never seen it before. To be honest I wathed it in 4 days but the plot was the only thing because of which I finished the serial. What I found disappoined was logic of serial. Sometimes there were scenes that were not logical and were confusing. Also the behavior of one of the charakter was stupid. We must say he/she is 30 years old and for his/her age is behaving like a child. First half of the serial was fantastic. I think after seventh or eighth episode it was downhill. Overall, I enjoy watching this serial. You can relaxed and enjoy yourself.

    Homage to film-noirs & detective stories

    Don't be surprised if you'll end up binge watching this k-drama. It happened to me, though I was reluctant at first to see it. The story seemed a bit strange and complicated about two parallel worlds. Also I was misled by the synopsis thinking it would be a live action webtoon. However, this mini-series was so much more.

    I found "W" a.k.a Two Worlds a thrilling, well acted and visually glamorous k-drama that's a homage to old film-noirs and detective stories. Filled with classic heroes and villains, cliffhangers, blazing guns and screeching tires. The slow-paced, old fashioned romance added to this nostalgic feel as did the mysterious music score. I loved it!
