In Wednesday’s episode of MBC’s drama “W,” Kang Chul (Lee Jong-suk) finally discovered his true identity.

Chul, a character from a virtual reality webtoon called “W,” entered the real world where he found out that he is actually just a webtoon character.

After entering reality he sees his face in an advertisement for the webtoon “W” on a bus. Shocked, Kang immediately goes to a book store where, to his dismay, he is greeted by a number of “W” books.

Kang also met Oh Yeon-joo (Han Hyo-joo), a cardiothoracic resident doctor, who has also experienced Kang’s reality after encountering the works of her father, who produced “W.”

Seeing how surprised Oh was, Kang carefully explained, “I am here, I came to your reality.”

“The world I lived in, it all stopped except me,” he further added in despair.

Then he gave Oh an abrupt kiss and said, “After reading the book, my unhappiness increased to about 99, but there was one good thing. I saw through your mind so you don’t have to act innocent,” leaving Oh confused.

“W” is a suspense melodrama that revolves around different realities that stem from the webtoon, “W.” The characters, Kang Chul and Oh Yeon-joo, encounter struggles and romance as they move in and out of different realities.

Kang is a young, rich former shooting Olympic gold medalist, and Oh is a second year cardiothoracic resident doctor whose father is the creator of “W,” who tries to kill Kang through his self-made plot.

In previous episodes, Oh realized her father’s cruel intentions and, through an unexpected docking, entered the virtual reality of “W” where she saved bleeding Kang.

The fantasy drama is broadcast every Wednesday and Thursday on MBC at 10 p.m.
