With sales totaling ten million copies,
W is Korea's top webtoon series.
The main character, Kang Chul,
learns from Oh Yeon-joo that he is a webtoon character.
After becoming a murderer and fugitive,
he loses his right to be the main character and almost disappears.
Thus, Chul returns to the world of W and catches the killer.
Just as it was going to end with a happy ending...
If I think of a character from the webtoon,
they can be summoned into the real world?
I said bring Han Cheol-ho!
Yeon-joo.
-Where is Chul? -He went back there.
That means Kang Chul isn't here, right?
The killer comes to the real world and abducts Yeon-joo.
Want to go with me to find your husband?
He shoots Yeon-joo in order to catch Chul.
-Give me a defibrillator. -Yes, doctor.
-What should I charge it to? -Charge it to 150J.
-Is it charged? -Yes, it's charged.
Step back. One, two, clear!
One more time.
-It's charged. -Step back.
One, two, clear!
It's PEA.
Continue the heart massage and bring some blood!
-Hurry! -Okay.
YUJIN FACTORY. CHILSAN-DONG 63-2, EUNHA-GU, GWANGMYEONG
Damn it.
What's that bloodstain?
He shot...
some girl.
What girl? I don't see any girl.
I saw her fall.
Su-bong!
Yeon-joo!
Where is it?
Don't kill me.
No, Yeon-joo...
Yeon-joo.
PARK SU-BONG
Please answer your phone. Gosh.
Hello? Hello, Yeon-joo?
Where are you? Are you okay? What happened?
-Hello? -Is that you, Su-bong?
Mr. Oh?
Where's Yeon-joo?
Where are you now? Where are you?
Mr. Oh! Where are you going?
Yeon-joo is there. I have to find her!
Take my car!
Here. Over here!
Wait! You should sit on the other side!
Wait. Mr. Oh...
We're going to the killer's hideout, aren't we?
Are you all right? You are okay, right?
Hello, hi. Excuse me.
Who are you?
By any chance, have you seen an injured woman?
Oh, that girl.
An ambulance took her a while ago.
An ambulance...
What happened?
I'm sure she's fine.
They took her to the hospital straight away.
The paramedics are really good, too.
No. It can't be.
No.
Chul took her.
Then she's okay. Chul...
Chul took her.
No.
-Excuse me. -Yes?
The woman who was shot...
Are you Ms. Oh Yeon-joo's guardian?
Yes, we are.
Where is Yeon-joo?
Well...
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
PARK SU-BONG
Are you Ms. Oh's husband?
Yes.
The surgery went well,
but she lost too much blood before the surgery
and went into cardiac arrest.
We performed CPR on her for over 30 minutes.
She hasn't regained consciousness yet.
She can't breathe on her own, her pupils are dilated,
and she won't react to any stimuli.
Then...
She...
She might not make it.
She might not make it?
-Brain-dead? -We're not sure yet.
If she doesn't wake up...
-Mr. Oh! -Sir, are you okay?
Mr. Oh!
My daughter...
Where is my daughter?
Gosh. The thing is...
She's not going to wake up?
-Yes. -What a pity.
Where's her husband? We need his statement since she was shot.
He's inside.
This way.
Oh, my.
Where did they go?
-What? -She suddenly disappeared.
Her husband, too.
We haven't found them yet.
Gosh. We also find it very strange.
Oh, my. Look at that.
Why isn't she home yet?
I should call her.
-He's good. -She never comes home early anymore.
Maybe she's seeing someone.
MOM
Sir, it's Ms. Gil.
What should I say?
Say you don't know.
Hello, Ms. Gil?
Is that you, Su-bong?
Yes, it's me.
Yeon-joo left her phone in the workroom.
Why did she leave her phone there?
She was hanging out here,
but she got paged and went to the hospital.
I'll tell her to call you if I hear from her.
I just don't feel so well.
Good night.
Yeon-joo.
Yeon-joo!
Chul?
Open the gate, please.
Okay.
-Is Mr. Oh back? -Yes.
Hold on, Chul. What happened to Yeon-joo?
Chul.
Chul, where's Yeon-joo?
You're back.
Where's Yeon-joo?
Where is she?
I took her to the other world.
Why?
Why did you do that?
They said she won't wake up.
If something goes wrong here, you can't turn it back.
She spent three days in the hospital.
They also said she won't wake up, so I moved her to the hotel,
because I couldn't explain her gunshot wound.
She spent another week there.
She opened her eyes just once.
Yeon-joo.
Can you see me?
Very briefly.
And?
What about now?
She died.
Mr. Oh.
Mr. Oh!
Are you okay?
Mr. Oh.
Oh, my gosh.
Mr. Oh.
-Hello, sir. -Hey.
I heard Mr. Oh was hospitalized.
Yes, he came in this morning.
Why?
He was under great stress.
He took medicine with alcohol. He's okay now.
Gosh. This is driving me crazy.
-Why? -I...
I left some nasty comments saying he shouldn't draw such rubbish.
I also used some swear words.
What if it was the comments that stressed him out?
That's possible.
Shit.
What room is he in?
CHUL
Hello, Chul?
Yes. He woke up a while ago.
Okay.
Right.
Hold on.
Sir, I'm Park Min-su, the surgeon who operated on you. Do you remember?
I told you not to drink alcohol. Why did you drink it again?
No matter how hard your work is, you shouldn't do this.
Hang on. Where is Yeon-joo? Why isn't she here with you?
Actually, may I ask you something?
Why did Yeon-joo die so suddenly?
She was a useless character,
but still, it doesn't feel good to see her die like that.
A grim and sad ending isn't so bad, but...
What...
What are you doing?
Mr. Oh?
Mr. Oh.
Let go. Let me go!
Why are you doing this?
I did it.
I shot her.
I shot Yeon-joo. I did it.
You didn't shoot her.
No.
I shot her.
I remember everything. I...
I shot my own daughter.
No, that wasn't you.
I can't...
live any longer.
I can't live anymore.
Snap out of it and listen to me!
Do you know why I came to find you?
There's something you must do.
Don't blame yourself.
It's the killer who shot your daughter.
But you're the only one who can save her.
You must come back to your senses. Don't fall apart.
You must save your daughter.
How can I?
She's dead.
She's dead,
but you can save her.
Because she married me, she unwittingly became a webtoon character
like me.
That's why she gets hurt and bleeds in the webtoon.
That's how she got shot and died.
And just like a webtoon character, she can be saved by drawings.
Just like how I came back to life.
Do you understand?
Your drawing can bring her back.
That's why I took her to the webtoon world before she died.
It's not over yet.
I won't ever give up. I will bring her back to life
no matter what.
How can I draw when everything is broken?
I destroyed the tablet with a hammer
because he ordered me to.
I destroyed all of it because he ordered me to.
The tablet isn't there anymore.
Yes, it is.
It has to be.
I'm sure it's there somewhere.
Gosh, where did he go?
Why did he leave so suddenly? What did you tell him?
I didn't say much,
just a few questions about the webtoon.
He got up when I asked him why Yeon-joo died.
What's wrong?
Why did you ask him that? Why?
Why did you ask such a question to a patient?
Are you out of your mind?
How could a doctor be so rude and clueless?
Why did you ask such a question?
Have you lost your mind?
Mr. Oh!
-Please call a nurse. -Please call a nurse.
Mr. Oh.
Mr. Oh, are you okay?
Did I do something terribly wrong?
I mean,
can't I ask why a webtoon character died?
Oh, no, I think I've been hurt.
I'm going back in, so please take care of him.
Wait, Chul.
What...
You probably don't know what Yeon-joo means to me.
Yeon-joo...
is my only family.
She isn't a family you created out of your imagination.
She's my real family that truly exists.
I have memories with her that are real and not fabricated.
She's part of the destiny that I chose, not one written out for me.
For the first time, it was based on my own will.
That's why I can't give up on her.
Yeon-joo...
is proof that I'm a person just like you.
That I'm human.
I'll save your daughter and live with her happily.
I won't ever back down this time.
No one can discourage me. I'll come from behind and win.
And it shall be...
a happy ending for us.
I almost forgot.
Your life is also important to me.
Not because you created me,
but because you're the father of my wife.
You're already my family.
You may not agree, but you are to me.
So please don't do anything stupid like that again.
Do you understand?
That arrogant brat.
Chul.
Please be careful, okay?
Goodness, this is killing me.
Stop crying and wait. I might call for help.
Me? For what?
I don't know yet.
Be careful, okay?
How is there another one?
Up until now, I've used only one tablet.
I'm sure there's a substitute.
If there wasn't, the killer wouldn't have destroyed it.
It was the most important thing to him.
Draw that first.
Your tablet.
He destroyed it so that we can't use it again.
I'm sure he drew a copy of the tablet in the webtoon.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have destroyed it.
Can't you remember?
I put it in a trunk.
The trunk of a car?
There was no tablet in evidence with the police.
-Han Cheol-ho. -Han Cheol-ho.
It's used by illustrators.
It's for drawing.
-Drawing? -Yes.
This looks like something professionals would use.
How do we use it?
You can draw on it like it's paper.
This is the pen for the tablet.
Why did he leave it in the trunk?
-It's not a weapon. -Pardon?
Never mind.
Sir, Mr. Park is asking when you'll be arriving.
-Tell him I'll be right there. -Okay, sir.
Hello? Yes.
Turn it off for now.
Do you think...
the copy will function like the original?
I'm not sure.
We'll have to try it to see how it's different.
Still, we have to find it.
We must.
This is not the copy.
It's a trap.
Hey, Chul.
Is this what you're looking for?
Gosh.
It's been a long time since we met like this.
I couldn't touch you ever since you became the president and CEO.
But now,
you're dead.
You put on a show and faked your death.
So nobody will say anything
even if you die again here.
You're already dead anyway.
Even if I kill you here,
it won't be considered a crime.
Got it?
You dug your own grave, asshole.
Are things still hazy? Do you feel dizzy?
Hey.
Aren't you curious?
Want to know where I got that drug?
Here it is.
Isn't it fascinating?
How can a thing like this exist?
Turn it off for now.
Yes, sir.
Wait.
Tell them to park the car again.
I need to check it before I go.
Yes, sir.
DOCUMENTS
What are all these?
This asshole really was a lunatic.
He got lost in delusions while drawing.
Were you trying to form a terrorist organization, Chul?
What...
What's this?
REVOLVER
Where did it...
Not only guns.
It has all kinds of drugs.
"Sodium amytal, scopolamine, sodium pentothal, amphetamine, mescaline."
All right. Which shot do you want to get?
Which one?
Sodium?
SODIUM PENTOTHAL
Mr. Kang,
I saved you from a drug overdose.
You've been appearing and disappearing like a phantom,
but I guess it's hard now with the drug in your body.
Isn't this something that only happens in cartoons?
It appears when you press enter.
It disappears when you press delete.
I understand now why you and Han Sang-hun fought.
However,
what I'm really curious about is...
what on earth is this?
From now on, you have to answer.
Where did Han Sang-hun get that?
And how are you guys related?
How did you know that I had it?
Who originally owned it?
Who is the girl that disappeared after being shot?
How do you come into my office so easily?
Okay.
Let's begin.
This is payback for being such an annoyance in the past ten years.
Asshole.
Hey.
Talk.
Hey.
Talk.
Hey.
-Yes? -Why are you not coming?
Something came up.
I'll be there right away.
Since you were young,
you were an expert at keeping your mouth shut.
But it'll be different this time.
You know, right?
You know what's in here.
You should prepare yourself.
Hospital.
What?
Hospital.
Say that again. What did you say?
I need to bring it to the hospital.
Speak louder. What about a hospital?
Why can't I reach him again?
I should've quit sooner.
It's up. It's up again.
Please.
W - TWO WORLDS
"SECRET OF THE TABLET"
Please.
Shit! I told you to be careful.
So you expect me
to believe that?
It's true.
-Go in and guard him. -Yes, sir.
Also, he's already dead.
It's okay if he dies, so don't give him any water.
Yes, sir.
Pick him up.
It's me.
Tell him I need to take care of something urgent on my way there.
What time is it?
What?
Just tell me what time it is.
What time is it?
It's 2:30 a.m.
2:30 a.m.
It's been 30 minutes now.
He should be there by now.
What?
Su-bong, the item is coming to you.
Guard it well.
What are you saying?
TO BE CONTINUED
SU-BONG, THE ITEM IS COMING TO YOU. GUARD IT WELL.
What is this? Is this my name?
Is he calling me?
Stop crying and wait. I might call for help.
Was that what he was talking about?
Was it?
Are you going to carry it yourself? It looks heavy. Let me carry it.
-It's fine. Lead the way. -Yes, sir.
Mr. Oh!
A new chapter came up.
A new chapter?
Did things go wrong with him, too?
I'm not sure what happened,
but Chul is dying.
Take a look at this.
SU-BONG, THE ITEM IS COMING TO YOU.
He left a message for me.
This is for me, right?
He says the item is coming here.
What does he mean by that? What is "the item"?
Is it the tablet? It is, right?
Which floor is it, sir?
It's on the 8th floor. Internal Medicine Ward, Room 810.
Hospital.
Say that again. What did you say?
I have to bring it to the hospital.
Bring what?
That tablet?
Why?
I need to save someone.
Who?
Let me get this straight.
That girl who got shot by Han Sang-hun and disappeared...
was Oh Yeon-joo, your wife.
That's why you killed Han Sang-hun.
Your wife, who was brain-dead,
stayed in your penthouse
and died recently.
That's right.
She died.
And?
I can bring her back to life with the tablet.
You saw what that tablet can do.
That's why I went to get it.
Bring her back to life?
Can you bring someone back from the dead if you press enter?
It needs to be drawn.
Drawn?
The tablet's owner must draw it.
That's why I was going to bring it to the hospital.
The owner is in the hospital now.
You crazy bastard!
Do you think this is some kind of a cartoon?
How can you draw someone back to life?
Wasn't what you saw like a cartoon as well?
So?
Keep talking.
Go and get some more boys. I need to check something.
Yes, sir.
-Get them. -Yes, sir.
Who are you? You can't come here without permission.
We got Mr. Kang's permission.
Let us in.
What are you talking about?
Did you say Mr. Kang?
He's dead. How dare you use his name?
We rented this place for our VIP clients.
You can't barge in here.
Hello? Seo Do-yoon won't let us in.
Okay.
Please talk to Mr. Kang.
Hello?
Do-yoon.
Let them in.
Are you insane?
What are you going to do?
Let them see her.
-Is she really dead? -Yes.
She definitely died recently. She has a gunshot wound as well.
Okay. Back off for now.
How am I supposed to take this?
You can confirm it yourself.
How?
What better proof is there
than bringing my wife back to life with a drawing?
It will answer all of your questions.
Sungjin Medical Center, Internal Medicine Ward, Room 810.
His name is Oh Seong-moo.
2:30 a.m.
It's been 30 minutes now.
He should be there by now.
What?
Su-bong,
the item is coming to you.
Guard it well.
TO BE CONTINUED
What the...
What happened?
Here it is, Room 810.
YOON SEON-AE
What is this? It isn't Oh Seong-moo.
Excuse us.
Congressman Han Cheol-ho.
Hello. Is there a patient
other than that patient here? Someone named Oh Seong-moo?
This is a private room.
-Shall I help you find him? -No, thank you.
I must have the wrong room. I'll let you go back to work.
Why would he lie about something you'd figure out so quickly?
The third hypothesis.
I am currently in the real world,
so I can summon characters by thinking about them.
Now, I summon Han Cheol-ho...
into the real world.
Shit.
It's the tablet, isn't it?
But how would that come here?
What is this?
Mr. Oh, it's Han Cheol...
Are you Oh Seong-moo?
Yes, that's me.
You're Oh Seong-moo?
You weren't here just now.
Hold on.
Why do you look so much like Han Sang-hun?
You're...
You're Han Sang-hun, right?
-How are you-- -Hey!
What are you doing? Give it to me!
What do you think you're doing?
Who are you?
-Help me! -Who are you, asshole?
Mr. Oh.
How did he bring that here himself?
Is that really your tablet?
So there was a copy of it.
Will it function like the original?
Mr. Oh, Han Cheol-ho...
He went back.
Goodness, I'm sleepy. Do you have the key?
Yes.
Oh, my gosh. What is that?
-What do we do? -What happened?
Oh, my gosh.
Hello? Sir? Wake up.
Are you okay?
Untie him first.
Hey.
Come to the hotel. I have to explain something to them.
Chul is in danger.
He is actually...
Yeon-joo?
Nurse!
TO BE CONTINUED
When was that?
It was about 20 minutes ago.
-About 20 minutes ago? -Yes.
I see.
-Hello? -Su-bong.
Yeon-joo?
It's me. What happened?
Yeon-joo? Is that you?
Is that really you?
Goodness, are you really Yeon-joo?
Yes, I must have survived.
Where are you?
Where are you right now?
I...
I'm at a hotel. I suddenly came back.
Are you okay? Can you talk?
I guess you're talking now.
Are you hurt? Do all of your fingers and toes move?
Do you remember everything? What about your wound?
It doesn't hurt.
I feel completely fine.
You scared me to death.
How did I come back to life?
It was Mr. Oh! Mr. Oh drew you!
Is my dad back?
Of course, he is.
He didn't answer his phone.
What? He's probably in his workroom now.
He was waiting for the webtoon to be uploaded.
W BY OH SEONG-MOO
He probably went there after seeing the webtoon.
I'm actually looking for Chul.
Where?
At the place where he was tortured.
He was tortured?
I came to pick him up, but he isn't here.
Hey, hold on.
Goodness.
Shouldn't we call an ambulance?
Tell the boss.
Okay.
Goodness.
-Taxi. -What?
Please get me a taxi.
I need to go to a hotel.
You should go to the hospital first.
Gosh.
He said he called an ambulance, but Chul disappeared in the meantime.
Maybe he went to see you.
Was he hurt badly?
I see. How about my dad? Is he okay?
You were dead. Of course, he was worried. Who's worried about whom right now?
Okay.
I'll read the webtoon to see what happened.
That will be faster.
Okay.
-Thank you for letting me use the phone. -Sure.
May I use a computer to go online for a bit?
I NEED TO SAVE SOMEONE.
Why isn't he coming?
FINAL CHAPTER
We'll only be free once it ends.
What took you so long?
We can't get out of here
until this final chapter ends.
Get off me! Let me go!
So I got myself a hostage in order to live.
Come here.
Why are you still alive? I definitely shot you.
Why are you still alive?
The police are on their way here. They will find this house soon.
We need to make a decision
on what kind of ending it'll be.
