W:Two World - Episode 12 and 13 Summary

With the latest volume of W in hand, Kang Chul asks Yeon Joo if he’s the husband who disappeared on her. As soon as he says the words, the manhwa world freezes, and a webtoon portal renders behind him, making them appear as a drawing on the other side. Chul remains shockingly calm, perhaps because he saw this inside the manhwa, and he asks if it’s difficult for her to answer his question. She remains silent, so he takes her hand and says they’ll find out together, and steps through the portal, taking Yeon Joo with him.

They come out in her world in Dad’s office, of course, because that’s where the tablet is right now. It glows a white light after they come through the portal, and then shuts off again. Chul guesses right away that this is her father’s office. He reaches out to touch the wedding ring that Yeon Joo is wearing around her neck, and she says she didn’t know she’d taken the manhwa with her into his world. She looks distraught as she says that she never intended to tell him, and all she wanted was his happy ending. He smiles back at her sweetly.

Chul stops to look at the photographs of Yeon Joo and Dad, and asks where her father is. Yeon Joo hesitates to answer, so Chul tells her not to worry because he’s not going to shoot this time: “If I repeat the same mistake twice, I’d be an idiot.” She tells him not to misunderstand—her father isn’t the one who drew recent events, or framed him. With that, she goes to her bedroom door to unlock it. Chul is shocked to see Dad lying there with no face, and Yeon Joo immediately begins to cry. She doesn’t know why this happened to Dad, and explains that only a few hours have passed here, despite a month passing in the manhwa world. She starts to get dizzy all of a sudden and wobbles on her feet, and Chul catches her in his arms just as she starts to faint.

Su Bong actually manages drag Seok Bum back inside, and they jump when they see Kang Chul walking out of Yeon Joo’s bedroom, carrying her in his arms. Su Bong stutters, “Kang… Kang…” and gapes at the sight. Kang Chul asks for some help with Yeon Joo, and then carries her outside to her car. Yeon Joo stirs awake and says she just fainted from exhaustion, which happened the last time she traveled to his world and stayed for an extended period of time. Chul makes sure that she’ll be okay if she just gets some rest. Yeon Joo grabs Chul’s arm and tells him not to go anywhere. He says that he has something to take care of first, and promises to come see her shortly.

“Do you remember? Do you remember… me?” she asks, hope in her eyes. But Chul says no, he’s just guessing what the Kang Chul inside the manhwa must have felt. Chul says that Yeon Joo is the same though, so he’s sure that he’ll come to know it for himself soon—that crazy charm of hers that he read about. He sends her ahead to the hospital with Seok Bum, and then goes back inside the workshop where Su Bong is pacing back and forth wondering why Kang Chul is here. After that, Chul asks for a screwdriver and goes to Dad’s tablet, and immediately starts to dismantle it. He says it’s too dangerous to leave like this, and taking it apart should ensure that New-Face Killer can’t come through it again. Chul asks how Dad ended up without a face, and Su Bong says that this world is a mess too, and he doesn’t know why, but all of a sudden Dad lost his face and was drawing guns and audio recordings on New-Face’s command. Chul carefully takes apart the tablet, and his instinct was right, because the portal that he left behind in the manhwa world disappears. He stands in Dad’s office thinking back to the scene in the manhwa when he came here the first time and tore the place apart in anger.

Chul asks Su Bong for the next volume of the manhwa because he wants to know what happened, but there is no next volume. What he does have is the letter that Kang Chul wrote to Dad, along with the storyboards for their original happy ending, which never came to pass because of New-Face’s interference.While Su Bong sleeps, Chul stays up all night reading every volume of W and piecing together what must’ve happened after Volume 34. After racking his brains all night, he goes to see Dad and thinks back to their first meeting inside the manhwa and he makes a decision and goes back to Dad’s office, where he reassembles the tablet.

Chul makes swift work of putting the tablet back together and cocks his gun before turning it on. At first, New-Face appears to be frozen in time too, but it turns out that he’s just staring impotently at his frozen surroundings—he’s able to move around (which was also the case before, when Chul stopped the manhwa world in the first timeline), and he pitches a fit at being stuck like this.

But New-Face can immediately sense it when the tablet turns on, and his eyes dart upwards. On Kang Chul’s side, the tablet glows white, and he steadies his gun. Chul says there’s no way out now, and thinks it’s better for him to just die rather than be stuck there, but New-Face smirks and asks why he’d die, when all he has to do is wait around for Kang Chul to cease to exist. New-Face points out gleefully that Chul has lost his right to be the hero of this manhwa—he’s a killer on the run, and it’s only a matter of time before he disappears altogether. 

It all goes back to that night on the rooftop, when Kang Chul was stabbed by (then) No-Face, and then stabbed again by Dad. No-Face caught Dad as he was running away, and demanded to know who he was, why he wanted to kill Kang Chul, and why he was invincible.

It turns out that Chul wasn’t the first to become self-aware in the manhwa—he was. And to top it off, New-Face said that Dad had promised long ago to give him a face and promised to make HIM the main character of the manhwa, and swore that it would be easy to do if No-Face saves his life. But in the end, Dad didn’t keep his promise and thus, No-Face says he ends up ate him.

Yeon Joo wakes up in the morning with an IV drip hooked up to her arm in her bedroom. In the light of day everything looks normal, and she begins to wonder if everything that happened with Kang Chul was just a dream. But then her phone rings, and it’s Chul calling to check on her. She’s so shocked that she doesn’t answer at first. Chul says he just bought a phone under Su Bong’s name, and asks Yeon Joo out on a date. He says she’s been asleep for two days, and in that time he’s adjusted to her world and figured most things out, all except his marriage. He argues, “You know me so well, and I don’t know anything about you. So you have to give me a chance to catch up.” And finally Yeon Joo agrees to go. 

Yeon Joo then calls Su Bong to confirm that Chul borrowed his money and Su Bong tells her so. Yeon Jo promises him to repay him later, then Su Bong flashes back to the other night, when Chul asked to borrow some money. He was about to hand over the cash when Chul’s hand flickered in and out again. Su Bong tells Yeon Joo that it was just like the time that So- He’s hand started to disappear.

Yeon Joo hangs up to answer the doorbell, and is shocked when Kang Chul is standing there in her doorway, early and unannounced. He admits that he was curious about where she lived, and that Su Bong told him that her mother would be out at work. He says that there’s not enough information about her in the manhwa and he wanted to see things for himself. Yeon Joo just stares worriedly at his hand, and doesn’t relax until she makes sure that it looks solid.

He says that her house is nice and cozy, and reminds him of his childhood home. He tells her to take her time getting ready, but when she heads to the bathroom to change out of her bathrobe, he asks, “Since you’re already in the robe, couldn’t you take it off?” He explains (as if this is perfectly logical) that Yeon Joo thinks it’s unfair that she’s the only one who remembers things, and he’s frustrated by not knowing too, so they should hurry up and do all the things in the manhwa. “Like see you naked, and kiss each other about five times,” he helpfully recounts. Her jaw just hangs open for a comically long beat, and he adds that the gap is too wide between what she knows and what he knows, and he’s just curious is all: “I want to feel what the Kang Chul in this book feels.”

Chul takes a leisurely tour of her bedroom, taking in her taste in lingerie, and stopping at the window where she’s taped up all of their big moments together in the manhwa. He knows the drawings well by now and smiles thoughtfully to see that she’d cherished them, and when Yeon Joo comes out, he says, “Thank you. For not forgetting me, and for missing me.”

She looks sad but touched at his words, and explains that they never once took a picture together, and she regretted it immensely. He agrees to take lots of pictures with her this time, and he looks over at the photograph of her with her mother. They head out on their date, and Yeon Joo offers to take him out, since he has no money and doesn’t know where to go. Chul says that his takeaway from reading the manhwa is that Kang Chul and Yeon Joo got married too quickly, though of course there were extenuating circumstances. “So let’s date, like other couples do. It’s a little funny to marry first and date after, but let’s not do the sweet things you want to do like it’s homework to get out of the way,” he says.

He suggests doing things naturally as they come, one by one, and she agrees happily. But then as soon as they arrive at the restaurant and he sees that no one is around, he turns to her in the car and asks when they can start in on the kisses. Yeon Joo tells him to stop messing with her, and Chul says he’s serious, though he admits to joking earlier about the nude show. He guesses by her reaction that it’s too soon and backs off, but then she blurts that it’s not like it’s awkward for her…

Kang Chul: “Then can I?” She says yes, and before she can even finish the sentence, he leans over and tilts her face towards his, and kisses her softly. He stares at her intently for a beat as they pull away. And then he says cryptically, “So this is the feeling. Hm, it was this. I see now.” Yeon Joo asks what he means by that and what it felt like, but he just smiles and says, “No comment.”

They sit down to eat, and Chul’s hand keeps fading in and out, not that Yeon Joo can see from her side of the table. But she’s plagued with worry about it and calls him out on the fact that he’s been keeping his hand hidden from her all day, and asks what they’re going to do about it.

He realizes he can’t avoid the subject and shows her his hand, which flickers in and out. He says it’s been like this for a month, since the day that Ajusshi died, and while she was asleep, he spoke to both Dad and New-Face, because he wanted to be sure he was talking to the real Oh Sung-moo. And he discovered why their plan for a happy ending went awry. Chul says that it was his mistake to assume that he’d become self-aware first, and that he chose the wrong starting point to make it all a dream, leaving the killer as he was and making himself useless without his memories.

Chul says he’s thought about it, and asks Yeon Joo to promise to draw something for him when she returns to the workshop. Those words trigger a bad association for her, and she launches into a rant: “What, you want me to draw this all into a dream again? You’re asking me to make it another dream? And you disappear again? You might be fine living with no memory of me, but I get left alone, reliving these memories twice over!” She asks with angry tears in her eyes why he asked her on a date and kissed her if he was going to do this to her all over again, but he almost seems amused and just looks at her curiously, pointing out that he never said anything about making it a dream. Chul says this time he’s had the chance to think it through, and he has no intention of living that same life all over again, or of becoming nothing but a memory to her. Then, Chul takes out a stack of photographs, and explains that he thinks New-Face has to die in order for Dad to get his face back, and right now Chul could disappear at any moment because he’s no longer the hero. 

He says that there’s only one solution: to carry out the original plan for a happy ending, in which Assemblyman Han kills New-Face and goes to prison. Chul says that’s the only way to be sure and also save her father. The only thing he wants to change is the last part of the ending, and proposes, “In the last scene, Kang Chul and Oh Yeon Joo get married and live happily ever after.” He says with a smile that this is the only happy ending that makes sense in the context of W, and then adds, “whether or not the readers curse at it.” Chul’s theory that he shared with Yeon Joo was that only things in the manhwa could exist in both worlds, like Dad’s main characters, and the locations they drew into the story. At first the connection between worlds was through Dad’s tablet, but then characters’ awareness changed the rules, even summoning Yeon Joo to their world by thinking of her. Chul decided that they’d been played by the variables long enough, and it was time for them to use the variables they confirmed to be true, in order to change things. Back in the present, Kang Chul arrives at the address Su Bong gave him and stops outside Apartment 815, which Su Bong says he chose for no particular reason.

Chul texts Yeon Joo to say that ten minutes should be plenty of time, after which she’s to turn Dad’s tablet back on. Then he pulls out his gun and closes his eyes as he thinks to himself in voiceover: “I am out in the real world. At the same time, I am a main character. If a main character can summon a person in the real world at will, then Hypothesis One: I can summon myself into the manhwa.” Kang Chul says in voiceover, “I summon myself now.” As soon as he thinks it, lights overhead begin to flicker, and he starts to morph into a manhwa drawing right then and there. He knows it’s worked when he finds himself in the same hallway at nighttime, and inside, the manhwa world unfreezes around New-Face as soon as Kang Chul reenters the world.

Chul busts through the door with a smirk on his face, and kicks New-Face’s gun away before attacking which ends to be a winning for Kang Chul. Chul calls the police to report that he’s caught the crime show shooter, and only identifies himself as a citizen. Kang Chul had explained to Yeon Joo that he’d take care of New-Face so that she could turn the tablet on and use it without interference, and had given her a stack of images to draw. The first was a getaway car for him, which Chul discovers on his way out of the building.

Meanwhile, the police arrive to arrest New-Face, and Assemblyman Han is not pleased to hear that a random civilian caught him. So Hee tells Do Yoon that she suspects this might be Chul’s doing, and that he might be alive somewhere. Do Yoon wonders if it’s possible, but he doubts that Chul could’ve caught the killer. Chul returns to his hideout, where he turns on the TV and confirms that New-Face was caught, and thankfully remembers to turn off the stove and running sink.

Yeon Joo cringes when she gets to the second image she’s been asked to draw: a rotting corpse. Chul goes to his bedroom, where he finds said rotting corpse, lying on his bed. Chul puts an envelope on top of a familiar-looking bloodstained white shirt and heads out.

He calls Do Yoon, who’s relieved to hear from him. Do Yoon is shocked to learn that Chul really did catch the killer, but then his head really spins when Chul tells him to come to the hideout, where he’ll find Chul’s dead body. He instructs Do Yoon to report the death and say they lost contact two weeks ago, and let the world think that he’s dead. The DNA will match, he says, and he adds firmly, “Hyung, I died. Framed and shot, unjustly." Chul assures him that he’s alive, and he thought Do Yoon should know. But he adds that So Hee should believe that he’s dead, because it’s best for her sake. Yeon Joo watches the clock nervously, remembering the last thing that Chul had said to her as he dropped her off after their date. She asked how he’d return, if they were about to achieve a happy ending in the manhwa.

But Chul was confident he’d find a way, and asked her to wait for him here and draw one more thing, because he can’t afford it here in her world: his wedding ring. I’m swooning so hard right now. As Chul returns to New-Face’s apartment complex, his wedding ring reappears on his finger, and he smiles.

He walks back to the hallway just outside New-Face’s door, and he thinks in voiceover, “Hypothesis Two: I have been summoned here from the real world. If I complete the mission in an episode…” He finishes the thought out loud: “I return.”

And just like that, the “To be continued” chyron starts rendering in the corner of the hallway. Yeon Joo gnaws at her nails and paces around the room, until Kang Chul finally calls. He says he’s back and on his way to her, and she sighs in relief. He tells her to get ready so they can finish their date, because he plans to get the rest of his five kisses in today.

He says he can’t stand to lose to her old husband, and Yeon Joo scoffs that he’s got a weird sense of competition. He smiles and tells her, “You’ll come to know it very soon—that I’m way better.”

It looks like the manhwa world is no longer frozen, even when Kang Chul is outside of it. As Assemblyman Han mulls over his new problem—namely New-Face Killer getting caught by the police—we go back a few days to Kang Chul reading the latest episode of the webtoon out in the real world. The lead prosecutor dealing with Corpse Kang Chul called Assemblyman Han with the news that even in death, Kang Chul was coming after Assemblyman Han: He left a dying letter behind, in which he told the authorities to look into the assemblyman’s phone records.

The message reaches the top brass in Assemblyman Han’s political party instantly, though he quickly denies any association with the killer. But Assemblyman Han knows he’s trapped now. He wonders if he should get rid of New-Face, and calls an old acquaintance on the phone. Chul wrote for Do Yoon to find the connection between those two men and shed a light on the truth, because he was falsely accused. 

Yeon Joo wondered if Assemblyman Han would kill New-Face over something like that, and Chul said that was how the character was written by her father—a simple-minded, typical villain—and he’d react accordingly, unless a new variable came into play. The image morphs into a drawing on Yeon Joo’s computer screen as she reads the latest episode of the webtoon, and she smiles to see that Assemblyman Han is doing exactly as they’d hoped.

Yeon Joo wonders where Chul is, but he calls her first because he’s near the hospital to pick her up after work. She beams and primps in the mirror before running out to meet him. 

As Yeon Joo walks down the street, she narrates that hope has made her imagine again, and we see her fantasy version of a happy ending play out: Dad miraculously regains his face, and the true ending of W begins, with Assemblyman Han hiring gangsters to kill New-Face in prison.

Then Do Yoon makes all of Assemblyman Han’s misdeeds public and he’s prosecuted for his crimes. The people regret not having faith in Kang Chul, and though he remains dead in the manhwa world, his honor is restored and people grieve him, and his is no longer at risk of disappearing because he’s a hero. Chul walks away from his own grave with a smile on his face, and that becomes the final frame of the manhwa. 

Yeon Joo narrates that Kang Chul then returns to her, and W concludes with a happy ending. Kang Chul is no longer the protagonist of a manhwa, and no longer bound by the predetermined settings or the fate that comes along with that: “He is just a special person who comes and goes between two worlds.”

Yeon Joo meets Chul outside Dad’s house, and they brace themselves for the big introduction. She leads Chul inside to the kitchen, where Dad lifts his head and just gapes with his mouth full of food. They smile at Dad awkwardly, and she tries to explain that Chul is going to live in their world now. Dad looks extra annoyed when Chul asks to join them for dinner. 

Yeon Joo narrates that there’s no way that Dad would just accept Kang Chul, but she says that someday, he’d eventually understand. Dad drives himself crazy trying to wrap his head around it: “He’s a person. A person. I didn’t draw him…” But everywhere he looks, the manhwa is there as a reminder of the opposite. Yeon Joo narrates that time and patience would slowly take care of things. Then she introduces Chul to Mom and Aunt, and though Mom is cold and standoffish, Aunt fawns over Kang Chul’s looks, squealing that he looks like he could be a manhwa character. Yeon Joo narrates that Mom will be hard to win over, but Aunt will help her out because she’s all about handsome men.

They get to enjoy their sweet, everyday romance on leisurely street dates (where Kang Chul uses his Olympian sharpshooter skills at the arcade, lol), and bicycle rides along the river in matching couple outfits. Kang Chul brings her ice cream and they snuggle as they watch the sunset blissfully. Back in real life, Yeon Joo arrives to meet Chul for coffee and says she was planning to buy. After meeting up, Chul tells Yeon Joo that he has to go to check on the progress.

As Yeon Joo sees Chul off, she tells him to be careful. She makes sure that he’s not going to do anything dangerous on this trip, and he reminds her that he can come and go freely between the two worlds now. She promises to head to the workshop and draw him the things he asked for, and he pets her on the head sweetly before driving off. Chul drives to the real-world counterpart of the manhwa hotel he lives in, but when he pulls into the driveway, he sees So Hee standing outside on the curb. She sees him too, and their eyes meet for a brief second.

He keeps driving past her, and they both look utterly shocked. He glances in his rearview mirror and sees her still standing there, so he gets out of the car. But then she’s gone. Kang Chul is thrown and he calls Yeon Joo to confirm that he’s still in the real world. She asks how they’d be talking if he were in the manhwa right now, and he wonders what that was, with So Hee. She asks what’s going on, but he says he doesn’t know and hangs up for now.

Yeon Joo returns to Dad’s workshop and checks on him, and gasps to find her bedroom door unlocked. She says she’ll start searching, when suddenly Dad calls out to her as he comes out of his office.

Meanwhile in the manhwa world, Chul waits up in the penthouse for Do Yoon to arrive, and he instructs Do Yoon to keep this suite so that he has a place to stay whenever he comes back here. Do-yoon asks where he came from, and Chul points upward and says, “From another star?” 

Then, Do Yoon asks if he saw So Hee today, and Do Yoon recounts what So Hee told him just downstairs in the lobby. Do Yoon told her that she must be mistaken, but So Hee said she saw Kang Chul drive up, and then the car just disappeared. She said that it was suddenly midday when she saw him, and then it was night again when he was gone.

Chul wonders to himself what this new variable is, and then realizes that as he was pulling up to the hotel, seeing the building made him think of So-hee. At the same time, So-hee happened to be stepping out of the hotel in the manhwa world, and as she went through the revolving door, night turned into day, and she was summoned into the real world. A new realization settles in and Chul thinks in voiceover, “I am the main character, and I am living in the real world. Therefore, Hypothesis Three: If I think of a main character, a person from the manhwa can be summoned in reverse… into the real world?” He immediately recognizes the problem with this, and wonders aloud, “Is it possible… that I’ve summoned someone without knowing it?”

Back in the real world, Yeon Joo helps Dad into the kitchen, but he turns out to be the New Face, not the real Dad. Flashback to New-Face’s interrogation: He was screaming and clamoring for Assemblyman Han, saying that he needed protection because someone was going to try and kill him in there. The detective got tired of the ranting and went to go shut him up, when suddenly New-Face vanished into thin air and New-Face reappeared outside the police station in the real world, laughing maniacally at this stroke of luck. 

He then goes to Yeon Joon’s house and he went straight for Dad’s tablet and turned the power on. New-Face found the locked room and kicked the door open, and ordered Dad to come out now. Poor zombie faceless Dad just followed on command, and soon after, New-Face was wearing Dad’s clothes and smiling at his reflection in the mirror.

Back in the present, New-Face drops the act and says in a chilling voice, “It’s been a long time, Oh Yeon Joo.” He takes out a gun and waves it at her wildly, declaring that she was the problem all along—if it weren’t for her meddling, Kang Chul would be dead and this manhwa would’ve ended ages ago, instead of dragging on senselessly. He scratches his temple with the butt of his gun and says that he’s read all the recent episodes, and knows how Kang Chul is getting in and out of the manhwa now. He says it’s not really that hard if you just realize the concept, and figures that he could do it too. He yanks Yeon Joo’s head back to look up at him, and asks, “Shall we go together? To find your husband?”

Chul runs out of the penthouse in a panic without explanation, and Do-yoon chases after him, catching the elevator just before the doors close. But Chul has already summoned himself back to the real world, and Do Yoon stands there staring at the empty elevator in shock.

Back in the real world, Chul calls Yeon Joo repeatedly while he drives, but there’s no answer. Dad is seated at his tablet, and at New-Face’s command, he draws a car and a cell phone, which appear in the manhwa. Meanwhile, Assemblyman Han gets the call from his henchmen, who report that the killer escaped prison before they could get to him. New-Face calls to yell at him for the attempted hit. He then tells Assemblyman Han they’re on the same side now, and that Kang Chul is still alive. New-Face demands a hideout to use if Assemblyman Han wants to catch Kang Chul, and then tells Yeon Joo to drive there. New-Face tells Dad up in the real world to do one more thing: Destroy the tablet, because they won’t be needing it anymore. With no one to stop him, Dad takes a sledgehammer to the tablet over and over, until it’s in pieces.

Yeon Joo’s purse and phone are lying there in the middle of the room, and her bedroom is empty. Chul makes his way into Dad’s office and trains the gun on him. But Dad is just sitting there helplessly at his desk, the tablet already beaten to smithereens. Chul runs back out and tells Su-bong to go elsewhere, and that New-Face has kidnapped Yeon Joo. That’s all he says before driving off, leaving Su Bong screaming after him.

Chul doesn’t waste time trying to stay hidden and summons himself right into Assemblyman Han’s office, as the assemblyman is ordering his henchmen to watch New-Face but not kill him yet. He’s understandably startled to see Chul back from the dead, but Chul wastes no time and just attacks him and sticks a gun in his face, demanding New-Face’s location.

New-Face and Yeon Joo arrive at a warehouse, where he puts a silencer on his gun and says regretfully that he was hoping to shoot her in front of Kang Chul. But this will have to do, he says, since it’s the only way to get Chul here. He argues that he waited a really long time for Kang Chul to remember her, because it would’ve been meaningless to shoot her when Chul didn’t know she was his wife. But he says that now it’ll be worthwhile, and cocks his gun.

Yeon Joo trembles with fear and begs him to let her live. He pauses at her tears, but he says it’s no use—killing Kang Chul’s family is his reason for existing, and he points out that it’s not like HE told her to put on that wedding band and become the heroine. He asks if she really thought that would go well for her. He raises the gun again…

Chul speeds down the road on his way to Yeon Joo, when suddenly the “To be continued” chyron starts rendering in the distance. He sees it happening, but before he can even react, Kang Chul vanishes into thin air. The car gets left behind and Chul reappears in the real world in the middle of the street, and narrowly misses being run over. He checks the webtoon’s newest episode and sees New-Face pointing his gun at Yeon Joo.

At the warehouse, New-Face is distracted by the arrival of Assemblyman Han’s henchmen, and Yeon Joo starts to back away from him slowly. She makes a break for it, but New-Face whirls around and pulls the trigger… and she goes down, shot in the back. Yeon Joo uses all of her strength to crawl away, leaving a trail of blood behind her. She doesn’t make it very far though, and she collapses to the ground, one last tear escaping as she loses consciousness.

That’s the last frame of the webtoon episode, and Chul trembles with anger to see it. He summons himself back into the manhwa immediately, and gets back in the car right where he left it. 

New-Face is waiting for him to arrive, and when Chul sees him sitting in the car up ahead, he floors it and drives forward, toward a head-on collision. New-Face does the same, and the game of chicken ends with a crash as the cars come to a dead stop.

They both whip out their guns and start shooting furiously. Chul takes a hit in the arm, but keeps shooting as he presses the accelerator, pushing the other car as he unleashes a seemingly endless stream of bullets. 

New-Face is no match for Kang Chul’s rage, and the villain goes down, riddled with bullets. It’s an ending befitting a hero-villain showdown. A tear rolls down Kang Chul’s cheek as he finally lets himself breathe, and then he runs inside looking for Yeon Joo.

All he finds are the three henchmen and the trail of blood left behind where Yeon Joo crawled away, and Chul nods to himself. Chul materializes in the warehouse in the real world, where a construction worker is giving a police report about the random bleeding woman he just discovered. Chul is beside himself when he hears that she was barely alive when the man found her, and asks what hospital she was taken to. The cops take him there and ask if he’s okay because he looks wounded too. Blood trickles down his arm, staining his wedding band. When they ask what his relationship is to the victim, Chul’s voice chokes up with emotion as he answers, “I’m her husband.”

He runs into the emergency room and finds a team of doctors and nurses trying to resuscitate Yeon Joo. They shock her twice with the defibrillator, and Chul begins to cry when he sees her lying there, unresponsive, with blood on her wedding ring.

Personal Thought:

Alright, this show has too much fantasy now. After having Kang Chul version 2.0, now the writer tries to go with the same length of making another version of Kang Chul and I am going to stop watching this if they are continuing with such story, or maybe another dreams. I've been tired of this story now. It's like they're dragging the story too much and I do wonder what they are going to do for the last episode if they use all the ideas now. Too much complexity and variables (as what they said) in this drama and now everything doesn't make sense some more, because the manhwa characters can now appear in the real world. Do you want to suggest that the manhwa has become real now?

I know that this story might be exciting and nerve-wracking for some of you, but for me, the story has gone to such length that I consider it to be dragging too much. How many times then we are going to expect an ending? First time is when Chul is dead, but somehow the story manages to come back. Both of the leads seems to be able to enjoy their happy moment, but then they had to be seperated again. Thinking that once Chul lost his memory, everything will go back to normal. Second, when we all thought everything is going to be alright, Yeon Joo gets sucks again and it happens that Chul is now aware of the manhwa. Now, the third, when Chul has tried to fix everything for the third times, things don't go to the way he wants.

If I were the writer, I wouldn't make the story till Chul has to try for the third time. Because the context is now too much to handle whereby they add some new non-sense variables, stating the fact that no one will be able to end the story where Kang Chul gets his happiness because the genre of the manhwa is totally a thriller which states, how many times they try to make a romantic ending, bad things are always bound to happen. The writer totally drags the story so that the viewers will still be engaged to the nerve-wrecking suspense drama.

It is surely good up to episode 11 when the writer makes such twist but if they make another twist like this, it won't do any good. Do you want to see the evidence? Just see the ratings....it's going down right? Episode 11 states 12.2% while Episode 12 and 13 only states 11.1% and 11.9%. That because the new story is making the viewer confused. It seems like the production team always want to make a new story in just 2 new episode and ends it right away then makes another one. Do you think this is a mini-series? If it's only 2 times, I would say this story is considerably good. But sorry, you are going in the wrong way now.

I don't want to care for what's going to happen in the next three episodes because some people said that Kang Chul will live in the real world instead. But a part of me think that it will be better if they don't do something like that because it surely doesn't make sense. Maybe if he is from another planet, it will be considerable, thinking that parallel universe theory might really exists. But if he is from manhwa world, are you seriously joking with me? I know that some of you might say manhwa world can still be considered parallel universe, but as we know manhwa is made by human which the fact of it can be real is still not acceptable for me. We all know what original ending it should have, I just wish the writer won't make such ending with impossible story line.

Personally too, I feel sad for other actors and actress who appeared in this drama because the main character they focus too much is only for Oh Yeon Joo, Kang Chul and Oh Sung Mo. The three of them has too many screen time and somehow I feel bad too for Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo for working harder than anyone. They should be given much applause for the hardwork, although the story line seems to be weird now.
