Celluloid editorial verdict
What is W about?
Oh Yeon-joo is midway through a hospital shift when she is pulled bodily into the pages of the hit webtoon her father draws, landing beside its bleeding hero — an Olympic shooting champion framed for the murder of his own family. Kang Chul begins to suspect that his world is authored rather than lived, and goes hunting for the man holding the pen, while Yeon-joo shuttles between two realities that keep rewriting each other.
