W is one of the most interesting and creatively devised K-dramas I have ever watched. It is packed with a fair amount of suspense and drama (from light-hearted to serious). It does have some romance, but this aspect isn't as prominent as the other two. I love this fact as most dramas, especially the cheesy ones, tend to overemphasize the lovey-doviness of it all, while W offers the "mama bear" amount (just right). The first several episodes were light-hearted and easy to follow but became fast-paced and somewhat difficult to follow towards the end (keep your eyes peeled!). I ended up rewatching a few of the latter episodes to reassess and to confirm answers to questions that had popped up in my mind while watching. In the end, most were answered but I still had a tiny bit of questions that remained unanswered...W's cast choices were excellent as everyone appeared to balance each other out in acting styles that flowed seamlessly with the storyline. My hat's off especially to Kim Eui-Sung (Oh Sung-Moo) who portrayed a variety of character tropes that would be difficult for an actor of amateur caliber. Not only is the story and acting/cast well-thought out, the OST and background music really rounded out W, especially bringing out the suspense and fast-paced-plot factors. Overall, I would definitely rewatch W in the future and potentially share the show with friends who aren't even into Korean dramas.
