What happens

W (Korean: 더블유) is a 2016 South Korean television series, starring Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo. Consisting of 16 episodes, it aired on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 22:00 (KST) on MBC from July 20 to September 14, 2016. W centers on the clash between "two worlds": the real world and an alternate universe inside a webtoon, from which the title of the television series was taken. The series received praise for its unique premise and ranked first in Content Power Index in its premiere week. It achieved respectable ratings of 11.63%, topping viewership ratings in its time slot for its entire run. The series also won numerous accolades at the 35th MBC Drama Awards, notably Drama of the Year, Daesang (Grand Prize) for Lee Jong-suk and Top Excellence awards for both lead actors. Additionally, the chemistry between the leads was well-received and they also won the Best Couple Award that year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
