W is an unprecedented story crossing between the reality and the webtoon.
This is what I created.
It stands out because of the sensitive direction.
(W is a drama that stands out with the sensitive direction.)
W aroused reasonable sensation.
The unpredictable twists of it showed the potential of the writer.
(The unpredictable twists of it showed the potential of the writer.)
(W changed the history of Korean dramas.)
I killed Yeon Joo.
What kind of ending?
This is the final episode of W.
(How can this be the end?)
How can this be the end?
The real final story begins now.
(W Unfinished Story)
(The lead character of the webtoon W, Kang Chul)
We'll create a crime-solving programme and find the killer.
I already decided to name the channel "W".
W. It stands for "who" and "why".
Our goal is to find out who and why committed the crime.
Who? And why?
(Who? And why?)
(Why is Chul's life in danger?)
(W)
He's a monster.
He will kill me someday.
I'd rather slaughter than be slaughtered.
Kang Chul, the lead character of the webtoon W tries to give up...
his life after having his family killed by an unidentified killer.
(Kang Chul tries to give up his life after his family was killed.)
However, even his determination was...
a mere set-up made by W's creator, Oh Seong Moo.
This is strange.
I ended the webtoon with him drowning,
but Chul is still alive.
Chul starts to reject...
the ending Seong Moo sets.
(Chul avoids the car crash by his own will.)
Who...
are you?
Seong Moo starts to fear Chul, who thinks and acts...
on his own.
(Seong Moo starts to fear Chul.)
He tries to end W...
by killing Chul in any way.
That moment, Seong Moo gets...
dragged into the webtoon by Chul.
Please call 911.
Let's end this.
Meanwhile, Yeon Joo who visited her dad's office also gets...
dragged into the webtoon.
(Seong Moo's daughter, Yeon Joo also gets dragged into the webtoon.)
Gosh.
Hey. Wake up.
Can you hear me?
She saves Chul, who was attacked by an unidentified man,
and goes back to the real world.
(Yeon Joo saves Chul's life.)
- Did you find her? - No.
They searched everywhere, but couldn't find her.
Anyway, we have to find her.
I think this girl...
holds the key to my life.
(Cardiothoracic surgery resident, Oh Yeon Joo)
Oh Yeon Joo.
Where is she right now?
(Oh Yeon Joo. Where is she right now?)
Why is he looking for me? What does he want from me?
(Oh Yeon Joo. Where is she right now?)
Why?
Why am I the key to your life?
(Why is Yeon Joo the key to Chul's life?)
(W)
The person who created Chul...
isn't Seong Moo, but his daughter Yeon Joo.
(The person who created Chul isn't Seong Moo, but Yeon Joo.)
He's 18 years old, and a sophomore at a high school.
A sophomore.
A national shooting player.
(Yeon Joo saves Chul again.)
That's why whenever Chul's life is in danger,
she was able to go into the webtoon and save him.
Stop. Move.
Are you okay?
We finally meet, Yeon Joo.
This is a serial webtoon.
Does it need something to end the episode?
That's right. Something should happen to the lead character.
An incident which can be the ending scene.
It looks good on you. Why don't you...
(Yeon Joo does random things to go back to the real world.)
This can be an ending scene, right?
(Yeon Joo does random things to go back to the real world.)
Maybe...
Would this work?
- Look at them. - What is she doing?
- What is this? - What are they doing?
Yeon Joo.
Chul starts to have doubts about Yeon Joo who appears...
and disappears so suddenly.
You answer my questions...
(Chul goes to see Yeon Joo in prison.)
and disappear from here.
- You will regret it. - I won't regret it.
What do you mean by...
(What do you mean by the world I live in?)
the world I live in?
It's inside a webtoon.
- What? - This is...
a world inside a webtoon.
You are...
the main character of that webtoon.
By Yeon Joo's confession,
he eventually realises that he is a cartoon character.
(As he realises it, he goes into the real world.)
As he realises it, Chul goes into the real world.
He finds out that everything in his life including...
the death of his family is just a fiction.
He chooses to end his life.
This must be a perfect ending for someone who was looking for...
a murderer and became a murderer himself.
W ends with Chul's death.
(W ends with Chul's death.)
Yeon Joo doesn't accept Chul's death easily.
(Yeon Joo doesn't accept Chul's death easily.)
One day...
Yeon Joo finds out that Chul didn't die,
and he was still inside the water...
just like the ending scene of W.
(The end)
(To be continued)
(She realises W hasn't ended yet.)
I'll save Chul myself.
She decides to bring Chul back to life...
by drawing the webtoon herself.
(She decides to save Chul.)
The moment she continued Chul's story,
she gets dragged into the webtoon.
(As the webtoon continues, Yeon Joo gets dragged into the webtoon.)
Hey! She's here!
Chul comes back to life.
(Chul comes back to life by Yeon Joo.)
You must have drawn me yourself.
Why did you create a sequel when no one wants to continue this life?
Why did you hold on to such a pathetic webtoon and go through...
It's because I love you.
I know it doesn't make sense,
but I fell in love with you.
As Yeon Joo goes back and forth...
between the real world and Chul's world and saves Chul's life,
she eventually falls in love with Chul.
(As they go back and forth between the two worlds, they fall in love.)
(They start their happy marriage inside the webtoon.)
The minute they start...
their happy marriage inside the webtoon...
(Caller ID Restricted)
The killer who murdered his family 10 years ago...
shows up.
- Hello? - Where are you?
(Where are you?)
How did you go back?
(How did you go back?)
You have a new family now.
(You have a new family now.)
This time, It's her turn.
Has the killer become aware...
like me?
The moment Chul went out to the real world,
the killer followed him and got out of the webtoon.
(The killer followed Chul and stopped W from ending.)
The killer has stopped the ending of W when he escaped to the real world.
Do you know how long I've waited? It can't end like this.
Not like this.
(Why would the killer keep following the webtoon, W?)
Hello?
You're back.
The woman who got married to Chul.
(The woman who got married to Chul.)
Who keeps calling you?
The killer is looking for me.
What is that?
(The killer's character is set to kill off Chul's family.)
The killer is set to kill off Chul's family.
He appears in both the webtoon and the reality...
to threaten the life of Yeon Joo who became Chul's family.
(Yeon Joo's life is threatened.)
(Yeon Joo is brought into the world of webtoon at the critical moment.)
Did you look in the bathroom?
She's not there.
I'm right here.
Are you okay?
I almost got killed.
The killer tried to shoot me.
I got sent here just before I got killed.
Chul joins hands with Seong Moo in order to save Yeon Joo.
He tries to finish the webtoon, W, with a happy ending.
Dear Mr Oh.
In order to get rid of the killer,
you first have to create its image.
He kind of looks like you.
You're right. It is me.
The only suspect Chul knows is me.
You've finally held up your end of the deal.
Has this been my face?
Let go of me.
I created you.
I kept the promise.
The real killer has met Seong Moo in the past...
and has been aware of the fact that he's a character in a webtoon.
I was supposed to kill them all. Why did you do it for me?
I'll make you the main character.
Yes, you did.
But now you want to kill me.
You and Chul want me gone.
The killer tries to stop Chul and Seong Moo's plan...
and takes away Seong Moo's face.
He is the prime suspect of the assault of Mr Kang.
He is estimated to be around 175 cm.
He reveals himself in front of Chul and declares confrontation.
(The killer reveals himself in front of Chul.)
I came to visit you.
I wanted to show you my face.
Here I am.
I'll be seeing you around.
Let's write some lines. Write this down.
(He is in control of Seong Moo.)
Let's start with Chul.
"Mind your own business. What do you care, dad?"
Chul's father.
You're not my son any more.
I'm very disappointed in you.
Honey!
Who sent you this? This has been fabricated.
I don't know how our voices are in here, but...
The killer gets Seong Moo to change the story...
and fabricate the past incident.
He sets Chul up with another charge of murder.
Yeon Joo.
Dad.
It's me.
Dad.
He then goes into the real world and approach Yeon Joo.
Get some rest, dad.
Where is Chul?
He went back there.
I should call Soo Bong. He'll be glad to hear the news.
He's been worried so much about you.
You're telling me Chul's not here?
What a waste of time.
- Dad. - Dad?
Why would I be your dad?
The killer kidnaps Yeon Joo into the webtoon.
Please.
Save me.
No, you're Chul's family.
At that moment,
Chul sees Yeon Joo in danger.
(To be continued)
I have to...
go back in.
Chul puts an end to the killer.
(Why do they end up in different endings?)
Seong Moo gets his face back after the killer's death.
He falls into despair when he realises that he's killed Yeon Joo.
(Seong Moo has the memories of the killer left.)
- Why are you doing this? - I shot her.
I shot Yeon Joo.
- It wasn't you. - She's dead.
We can bring her back.
You can draw her back.
Chul and Seong Moo bring Yeon Joo back...
in the webtoon world.
Yeon Joo is reunited with Chul.
What took you so long?
It took me a year, but I came straight away.
He said that...
at that moment...
he had these thoughts.
He was too tired...
and wanted things to be done.
He stopped wanting to be...
the main character of this webtoon.
That is...
(Final episode)
when the final episode began.
(Final episode)
Before the final episode is over,
we cannot escape from here.
The three reunite in the final episode of the webtoon.
Dad.
Seong Moo still has memories left from the killer.
He tries to kill his daughter again.
Why are you still alive?
I know I shot you.
Mr Oh.
Mr Oh!
It's no use.
You and I,
we can't go together.
What?
If yours is a happy ending,
mine is a sad one.
At this point,
I can't go back to how I was.
I'll cease to exist if I stop doing bad things.
Let me die in here.
It's time for you to decide...
what kind of ending you want.
I'll follow your decision.
I don't want an ending that makes one of you gone.
The three of us...
can all go back.
Yeon Joo becomes responsible for the conclusion of the story.
She tries to make the best outcome for the three of them.
This doesn't end unless you die.
What?
At that moment,
Chul gets shot by the villain of webtoon, Cheol Ho.
W comes to an end with Chul's death.
(The end)
Most of the people thought the ending was appropriate.
It was a sad story, but a likely one.
However...
I failed in everything,
but I'm getting rid of you before I'm gone.
No.
No, save me.
I'm here.
I love you,
my daughter.
(Seong Moo chooses a sad ending for himself by terminating himself.)
W ended with the evil characters getting terminated,
not with Kang Chul's death.
Readers did not get to see the demise of the evil characters.
Killer uncharacteristically helped...
the happy ending for Kang Chul...
because their endings were edited out...
due to the context of the story line.
To Kang Chul,
Make Yeon Joo happy...
and tell her that I'm alive...
so that she won't be sad.
Because of Seong Moo's sacrifice,
Chul and Yeon Joo have a happy ending in reality.
It's really...
finished, isn't it?
It is.
It's really...
finished, right?
It's really finished.
I hope...
that they would no longer face life threatening situations
as they did in comic books, but live happily for 50 years...
no matter how boring and ordinary...
that ending may be.
Like other lovers.
(W)
(W, Unfinished Story)
(W Documentary)
Did you read it?
Did you read W?
W, the must-see drama everyone recommended.
I will pick it up.
That hurt.
You don't have it?
You really don't have it?
Oh, my gosh!
You are doing well.
(Clapping)
(Hello)
(Gulping)
(Shivering)
W.
Let's check out the stage...
that was even more entertaining than the show.
This story begins at the script reading...
that took place on May 4th.
The first to arrive was Oh Seong Moo.
Hello.
There's a familiar face.
(Familiar faces appear.)
The star always arrives last.
Yeon Joo and Chul, let's do a great job.
Please make the characters...
come alive.
(Chung Dae Yun, director)
We will begin the script reading of W.
(Everyone is excited.)
Script reading begins with warm feelings for everyone.
- Yeon Joo is into her character. - You said you don't know how...
Dad got out of the room.
Still how can you say...
(Drop the beat.)
(Soo Bong's rapping very fast and full of swag.)
(Soo Bong doesn't know when to take a breath.)
Only Mr Oh can draw this. We can only draw the background.
There is a clear difference.
I know this better than anyone.
Let's all laugh out loudly as we begin.
That's good.
In 1, 2, 3.
Let's do it.
Thank you.
The first rehearsal ended with high spirits.
At that time,
I thought everything was going to be rosy.
(W filming location)
It's really too hot.
I won't forgive in the name of the legend.
You are not suffering from a heat stroke, are you?
I can't stand the heat.
Starting in the beginning of July,
I haven't had a comfortable day.
It's been so hot.
The heat made it really difficult physically.
- Cut. That's good. One more time. - It's too hot here.
- We will shoot one more time. - It's too hot.
Check his clothes please.
Chul, Yeon Joo, and I...
all perspire a lot.
We needed fans on us...
whenever we rested.
It really was hot this year, wasn't it?
On the hottest day, we filmed the scene at the killer's apartment.
The room temperature was probably over 40°C.
That's right. It's me.
That's good. Unto the next scene.
What's the next scene?
That was arduous.
Still, the one who had to endure the most was...
Kang Chul.
(I'm tired.)
There were many arduous scenes.
This drama had a lot of difficult scenes.
(Early morning, at Hangang Bridge filming location)
- Do it over. - Do it over.
- I'm sorry. We'll do it over.
(Kang Chul's suffering)
It rained a lot.
Didn't you actually jump off the Hangang Bridge?
It was hard in many ways.
We saw it and we know.
(He had to stay up all night and constantly got soaked.)
- You don't have to hold the hand. - Hold this rope.
Do it slowly.
We got you.
That looks so scary.
Chul, that must have been so hard.
This side...
I'm really scared.
is ready.
You are doing fine.
You know this right? Chul did all of this without a stunt double.
He's truly a great star.
(The young tycoon's life is so unexpectedly difficult.)
Oh, no.
(An array of difficult scenes)
Is this what they mean by total warfare?
He went through all kinds of sufferings.
Poor guy.
Why did I agree to do this?
We'll have another take.
The W filming set was full of suffering.
However, whenever this person showed up,
everyone was uplifted.
Who was this cheerleader?
Yeon Joo.
Oh Yeon Joo.
(Everyone mentions her.)
Han Hyo Joo was a very good cheerleader.
Oh Yeon Joo is very enthusiastic and acts like a cheerleader.
When it comes to being spirited, I'm number one.
Yeon Joo is the best cheerleader.
I realised that...
I dance unknowingly.
She is pretty and enthusiastic.
She definitely cheered up everyone on set.
Thank you for cheering up all of us.
A criminal case.
I like this place.
A criminal case.
(I'm the cheerleader here.)
Do you take energy drinks by yourself?
You are always so energetic.
What are you doing?
(She dances whenever she gets a break.)
Yeon Joo, you entertained all of us.
You are truly the best cheerleader.
Warning.
We recommend the fans of...
Kang Chul and Yeon Joo to watch something else for a while.
They are openly lovey dovey.
I'm so green with envy.
Can I come in?
Come in.
You look gorgeous.
Speak your line.
(They show great chemistry together.)
Thank you.
I should thank you.
He's so forward.
Just accept it.
(They developed their chemistry from early on.)
I'm only telling you now,
but they starting working well together from the beginning.
(Expert melodrama actors)
How do you feel like being cast together?
At the set, they got along even better.
Of course, it was strictly a working relationship.
They look so good together.
Director, why don't you shoot...
a romantic version this time.
He made me think...
that he is really Kang Chul...
in the drama.
He really does look like a comic book character.
He is tall and handsome.
(Han Hyo Joo, a fan of Kang Chul)
His face is so pale.
He really looks like a comic book character.
He's cool.
Just standing together looks like a page from a fashion magazine.
I'm so jealous.
I was on the same drama.
- Oh, my gosh! - Particularly, in this scene...
Yeon Joo seems to be enjoying it too much.
Page 72.
(She doesn't seem to be acting.)
I really like this feeling.
(Aren't you jealous?)
Because they were so lovey dovey,
there were a lot of kiss scenes.
Out of all the dramas I've done,
this one had the most kiss scenes.
There was a lot of kiss scenes.
We used to say one kiss an episode.
I'm so jealous. I got yelled at every episode.
("Falling" Jo Hyun A)
Do you remember this memorable scene from the episode 12?)
They're busy kissing in so many different places.
It's a good scene, nonetheless.
Cut, okay.
We're doing so many shoots.
Now I understand why the viewers say they kiss at least once per episode.
We've come up with a list.
Chul Yeon Joo couple's top three kiss scenes.
Let's see which scene got the third place.
It's from the second episode where Yeon Joo slaps Chul.
This was a memorable one.
(Give it all you've got.)
You look very enthusiastic, Mr Jung.
It has to be a big swing.
Relax.
Go get him, Yeon Joo.
Action.
(Will she be able to get it done with one take?)
(It's a good one.)
That was good.
(Hyo Joo slaps him hard.)
Cut, okay.
(They only needed a single take.)
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
- That was good. - Be quiet.
Now it's time for the kiss.
The slap was just a teaser,
We've just met.
Go like this.
- That's intense. - I'll jump on top.
Are you shy?
Look at the fresh couple.
Will they get this scene done with a single take as well?
Is there a problem?
It looks like I'm greeting you.
(What?)
He went out all the way.
He's very well mannered.
(He's embarrassed.)
He came out.
We'll have to go again.
He's blushing.
(I'm fine.)
I get you, Chul.
(Take 2)
Action!
What is it?
(This is the scene from the aired episode.)
Why should I get slapped after buying you clothes?
Maybe...
this?
This marked the start of more kiss scenes to follow.
I'm willing to get slapped anytime for a kiss like this.
It's not sticking out this time.
No.
I'm a very sensible man.
You have a cool head.
Let's look at the second best kiss scene.
Personally,
I think the crying kiss scene was memorable.
It's the kiss scene of tears.
My tears were dropping on Chul's cheeks.
There was a crying kiss scene.
It was very hard to get it right.
I couldn't drop the tear naturally.
I had to intentionally position it there...
and also show tears of my own.
I haven't even done a normal kiss scene.
These two are at a whole another level.
(The key is to drop the tear on the exact spot.)
- I can feel the sorrow. - This is really hard.
(Did the scene come out as they want it to?)
It was really hard.
She did it. That's amazing.
Really amazing.
He seems to be enjoying it more.
(This is the actual scene from the aired episode.)
(The scene expresses Yeon Joo's love very well.)
- Did I do good? - Yes, you did.
Finally, the best kiss scene of Chul Yeon Joo couple.
Let's take a look.
I think the best one was with the handcuffs on.
It's the provocative handcuff scene.
Should I sit her down here and go like this?
Let's finish like that.
Good.
- I look at her in the eyes. - Right.
I think this will look funny.
You have to go under the handcuffs.
I like it a lot.
I don't know.
We need scenes like this.
- Like this? - Yes.
Yeon Joo is blushing.
Ready, action.
They look so sweet.
They do,
but how long are they going to keep this up?
(This is embarrassing.)
Cut, okay.
(Everyone is feeling awkward and overreacting.)
Where are you running off to?
(I have to get out of here.)
(What's he doing?)
It doesn't matter.
(This is the actual scene from the aired episode.)
This scene has been selected...
as the best minute of the seventh episode.
(The scene became the best minute of the seventh episode.)
I could have done this if I ended up with So Hee.
(She scoffs.)
Don't make me laugh.
Kim Ui Seong plays the role of my dad.
I think he probably had the most difficult time shooting.
He went through a lot.
(Sometimes he plays the killer.)
He played the cruel killer.
I wanted to show you my face.
It wasn't luck.
He played the role of Seong Moo perfectly.
He is my mentor.
Do you have anything to say to the viewers?
I had a lot of fun playing the killer.
I had fun playing an evil character.
In fact, it was harder to play the role of Seong Moo.
You can't get away from it.
(They're getting ready to shoot.)
It looks like he'll be having a hard time today.
(He's about to get a beating in this scene.)
The shooting is going well thanks to the well prepared actors.
(Things drop from the table.)
(Chul and Seong Moo get physical in this scene.)
It was at this moment.
Wait up.
- The gun. - You dropped the gun.
I knew you would do that.
Just go without it and put it on later.
This isn't even the beginning.
Mr Oh, I've got a bad feeling about this.
Action!
(Chul takes Seong Moo by hand.)
(It feels like they're getting more aggressive as they go on.)
(Chul throws Seong Moo down.)
- Did you break the glasses? - No, they're bent.
Mr Oh, I'll buy you better glasses.
The ones that don't bend.
(We're not done just yet.)
Sorry, let's do one more.
Let's go again.
(Fine, then.)
(This is the actual scene from the aired episode.)
(Let's stop this.)
We finally get to talk about me.
(He's crying out in sorrow.)
I think it was Ui Seong.
If I had to put a number on it,
I think I worked best with him.
That's how I think.
I don't know how he feels about it.
I get intimidated whenever I stand in front of him.
Poison?
People asked me this a lot.
Why do I step backwards?
It was an expression of respect for Mr Oh.
If I turned my back on him,
it might look like I don't like him.
That's why I walked like that.
I know Mr Oh more than you do.
(Are you sure?)
I don't quit my job because I respect Mr Oh.
(Let's see if he's right about that.)
Put in plenty of eye drops.
Well... We can't feel the same way all the time, right?
Playing my character was so tough, though.
People even made video clips about Soo Bong's...
extreme jobs.
It is extreme, indeed.
(Si Eon feels so bad about Soo Bong.)
I thought, "How much does Soo Bong get paid for the job,"
"and why is he not quitting?"
(Soo Bong's day-to-day life)
I wondered why he put up with all those crazy things...
while having to feel that his life was being threatened.
That was the most difficult part.
It's a gun. It's a gun!
Yeon Joo, that's a gun!
There was a scene where the killer showed up and I had to back the car.
I drove the car backwards myself.
It was so difficult and scary.
Yes.
(Were things extreme for him even on filming sets?)
As you try to look into his eyes while looking over the window,
Seong Moo will look again...
Stop making that noise, you fool!
Why were you doing that?
I think the eating sound is too much.
Shall I not do it then?
- No, do it. - I'll hit you when you do it.
They say that even dogs shouldn't be bothered while eating.
You're so mean!
(It's so loud.)
Stop making that noise, you fool! Eat quietly.
(How will Soo Bong respond to it?)
(He mutes himself.)
- Cut. Okay, that was good. - Great!
- Let's take a break. - Okay, let's do that.
I have no choice.
Soo Bong, I know that things have been very difficult for you.
Just hang in there.
I think you can become the greatest webtoon artist.
Seong Moo, you worked so hard.
I hope you get to rest now.
Dad.
I think you had it the hardest.
It must've been so difficult.
You also had to play two characters,
which must've been very stressful.
Yeon Joo.
I beg of you. Stop causing trouble, please.
And I want my 1,000 dollars back.
Yes. He borrowed money from me.
- 1,000 dollars. - 1,000 dollars?
(He lent Chul 1,000 dollars in Episode 12.)
I don't think Chul will pay me back.
Soo Bong.
I'm really sorry. I had completely forgotten about it.
Soo Bong.
Forget me.
I was scared.
Of what?
Not being able to see you ever again.
Dear my love, Kang Chul.
As a huge fan of Kang Chul...
I got to love you as much as I wanted,
so I was very happy and grateful.
I hope that your life...
is always filled with happiness.
Hey, why do you keep smiling like that? Isn't it too much?
(Let's smile for a happy ending!)
(W)
(W Unfinished Story)
(Wonder Story)
We want to know...
how the well-made drama, W, was born.
Wonder Story will tell you all about it.
(- Please sell the W webtoon. - Who drew the webtoon?)
(- I want W so badly. - It's not Oh Seong Moo's work.)
(- Han Hyo Joo is so pretty. - She went to buy "W".)
(- It'll sell 10 million copies. - Please share the webtoon.)
It has sold 10 million copies to date.
Korea's greatest webtoon, W.
(Who's the creator of Korea's greatest webtoon, W?)
Who's the creator of this phenomenal webtoon?
That hand looks familiar. Is it...
Mr Oh Seong Moo?
Oh, I've never seen him before.
Who are you?
(Who are you?)
I'm...
the manager of the webtoon production team...
for W, Oh Chang Moon.
(Oh Chang Moon, manager of the webtoon production team)
Oh Seong Moo needed a stand-in for his hand at times,
so my hand appeared as his a few times.
I did it for him in a couple of episodes at the beginning.
After that, he became so good...
that he didn't need a stand-in.
(Good. That looked natural.)
Now, we can tell you.
This is how the webtoon, W, was made.
First, MBC sends us photos...
that we need to make the webtoon...
as you can see here.
We usually work under a tight schedule,
so we use photos as a starting point to compose the drawings.
The locations of facial features.
(This is how we locate the facial features.)
The hair, too. We position such features this way...
and complete the preliminary sketch.
I'm starting to see Kang Chul's face.
But that's not the end.
We don't just copy photos.
We tweak a few things.
Here, I made his eyes bigger, changed his jawline...
and so on. This way, it becomes an artwork.
It creates a little bit of gap...
between the webtoon and the reality,
which completes the work.
Comparing the webtoon to the original photos...
shows us that the trick definitely did its job!
Be the first ones to find out!
Is there a secret behind the kiss scene?
We put a lot of thought into the kiss scene...
because it's a very important scene.
On our team, there is a master who specialises...
in drawing kiss scenes.
(The master of kiss scenes?)
Hello. I was in charge of drawing Oh Yeon Joo and all kiss scenes.
My name is Oh Seon Hwa.
There were four kissing scenes in total,
and I drew all of them.
There were many kissing scenes.
When drawing kissing scenes, it's important to depict...
how the lips are touching each other in a meticulous manner,
so I have to fix my drawing many times.
It usually takes about five hours.
It takes a long time to finish everything including colouring.
(Her meticulous touch created these scenes!)
It's so sweet.
She has certainly mastered how to draw perfect kissing scenes.
You're watching her working away using a tablet PC.
There's a scene that comes to our mind when we think of tablets.
It's the angry scene where the tablet got smashed!
You mean the scene where he smashes the tablet at a motel, right?
Smashing a tablet...
is crazy.
Tablets don't break that easily.
It's because...
they're expensive.
(Smashing)
- I can't break this. - It's not working.
This is so sturdy.
(Which brand makes this?)
You can only smash it like that...
when you have no debt whatsoever...
and if you can just take off to go on vacation for a month.
In my opinion, only those who are that rich...
can afford to do such thing.
(That's me.)
Every single webtoon scene in the drama, W,
was made with superb craftsmanship.
The team's hard work was hidden behind those flawless scenes.
(- Is it a film or a drama? - Did I just see a real hand?)
(- MBC's technology is amazing. - Mr Kang, I'll keep my door open.)
(- Give Mr Oh's face back to him. - A person is coming out of my TV!)
(Soo Bong)
The scene where Kang Chul realises that he's in a webtoon...
for the first time and exits back to the reality was so amazing.
It gave me goosebumps. My jaw dropped.
I didn't even imagine that computer graphics...
would be used that way to create such scenes.
We put a lot of thought into that scene...
to decide how the time should be stopped...
and how we should design the door back to the reality.
I'm doing my best to make fascinating...
and cool scenes...
(Yoo Jae Ho, FX Artist, MBC Art Department)
that befit the drama.
The scene you can only watch in W which created a sensation.
We'll reveal the secret behind the paused space-time.
Everyone is busy getting ready for the shoot.
What's that stand?
What's the secret behind this scene?
Freeze just like that!
(That was a little disappointing.)
Now, a drone is used...
to make the scene look as realistic as possible.
You're mistaken if you thought this scene was all computer graphics.
Everyone, freeze again!
(The drone was moved by hand in between motionless actors.)
Behind all the amazing scenes of W,
we can find the cast's extreme hard work...
as you can see here.
(Then computer graphics were added.)
The computer graphics team's expert touch...
enhanced and completed the paused space-time scene.
(Kids, hang in there for a few more minutes.)
(The door maximised the mysterious air.)
Then how was the door that connects the reality and the webtoon made?
During our brainstorming meeting,
we got inspired by the music video of "Take on Me"...
and came up with the idea of combining footage...
with animation for those scenes.
Then the animation team...
sent us a drawing for each scene.
We also had to think about how we want the window to look.
We decided to combine the looks and feeling...
of ink dispersing and glass melting for the window to the other world.
What you're seeing inside this frame...
is the animation part.
What's outside of the frame is the actual image.
It's used as it is.
That's how we made the two disparate worlds seem like one world for those scenes.
(He's trying to find out how he can look cool while passing through it.)
This compelling scene still makes our jaws drop.
Oh, my.
Are you Soo Bong?
This is the scene that horrified the viewers.
It's me, Soo Bong.
(What secret lies behind this scene?)
How did they present Seong Moo who lost his face to the killer?
For me, it was so funny when I was filming the scene...
because I was able to see his face.
Seong Moo's face was taped all over...
for computer graphics.
So he looked very funny.
(Is this funny to you?)
But it turned out to be much scarier than I expected.
Since we thought that face is needed just for a moment at first,
we elaborated it and erased all his features.
But they needed it in 4 to 5 episodes.
And we thought he would stay still, but he kept moving.
Sometimes he was hammering and sometimes he got up from bed.
So it was hard to keep following the face and work on the CG.
It looks so realistic.
We appreciate the excellent job of the CG team.
There were lots of things to work on...
compared with other dramas we've done so far.
W is a drama with such a unique setting...
and I'm very proud that we were able to achieve...
such a great result...
with the in-house staff.
These are fantastic pictures as good as movies.
We'll cherish them for a long time.
(- This scene made me so nervous. - Did someone really drive the car?)
(- I think he's a master in driving. - Don't let him get hurt.)
(How did they create the scene where Chul avoids the accident?)
For time slice photos, they usually take a lot of pictures.
So in order to get lots of still cuts of the actors,
it takes a long time.
Whereas, we recorded a video...
and found the pictures we needed.
So we were able to finish shooting within just 10 minutes.
Dozens of cameras were used...
only for this scene.
How did they make the scene of a car accident that made us nervous?
(They're attaching a device for a great effect.)
(What is this used for?)
Start.
What are you guys doing?
What did I see just now?
Keep pulling.
Suddenly, the staff are playing tug-of-war with the sports car.
This is the moment they get sweaty to make a great scene of W.
W is a drama that fascinated our eyes.
Until every and each great scene is created,
all the staff were endeavouring so much. Thank you.
(Smiling)
Here are the funny scenes that have never been revealed.
It's the NG Special of W that will be unique.
Where are you?
I think it's a bus stop near the hospital.
Wait over there. I'm coming.
Hello. Hello.
Gosh. What's happening?
Goodness. I...
I don't get...
How could this...
My goodness.
(She keeps her adlibs.)
I don't understand.
She keeps her adlibs until the director cuts it.
She laughs because she's embarrassed.
Did you talk to Yeon Joo on the phone?
I'm Yeon Joo. You should have said Dad instead of Yeon Joo.
(It's an NG scene due to Soo Bong.)
(Try to listen carefully, everyone.)
Where have you been with Soo Bong in the afternoon?
I know it's a lie that you went to a market.
My bad.
(Laughing)
Kang Chul is not an exception when it comes to NG.
- Did you wait long? - Yes.
If I buy this broadcasting station... Shall I do it again?
(There seems to be some bad signs around him.)
W stands for "who" and "why".
It will reveal who committed the crime and why... No.
(Slapping)
(He slaps his own face due to the NG.)
Chul, what did you say just now?
I... always...
What are you doing? Concentrate.
Is my line too much overwhelming?
(He's having a hard time today.)
And do you remember the impressive scene...
where Yeon Joo who dragged into the world of W encounters Chul.
(What secret does this scene have?)
What kind of secret will there be in this scene?
(She gives him first aid.)
Yeon Joo gives first aid to rescue Kang Chul...
who's in a desperate situation.
(However)
But the pen was not inserted properly in the chest guard.
So she keeps poking until it is inserted. And finally...
- It hurts. - Does it?
- It hurts a lot. - Sorry. I'm so sorry.
Action.
(They exchange intensive eye contact.)
After the exchange of the intensive eye contact,
they seemed to make it...
but...
(He bumps his head on the floor.)
- Oh my. Are you okay? - Mummy.
I don't understand why this is sweet.
Yeon Joo and Chul had to go through a lot...
and it was hard for them to have a good time.
Now, I see you really majored in engineering.
Why do you say so?
- You've never done this before. - No.
This looks so weird.
What have you done?
- I don't know what to do. - What should I do with this?
(Being romantic is hard in reality and in the webtoon as well.)
Oh, wait.
Chul and Yeon Joo meet for the second time in this hospital.
There is a behind story hidden in this scene.
I know you well. You praise girls-
Cut. Sorry.
Did you find out something wrong?
Even though you say so, you still think everyone is a beauty if I am.
The monitor shows that Chul's heart has stopped.
You praise girls-
Cut. Sorry. Chul seems to be dead.
We can't see the numbers.
- He's dead. - It is detached from him.
- I took it off. - You're dead.
- Surprise. - This drama already ended.
(The second episode could have been the final one.)
(Chul holds her hand and keeps acting.)
As soon as he holds Yeon Joo's hand,
why is his heart beating so rapidly?
(His heart is beating abnormally fast.)
(As soon as he holds Yeon Joo,)
(his heartbeat soars up.)
Why does your heart beat so fast?
- Calm down. - Suddenly...
- Please calm down. - This is...
Give me a second. I need to calm down.
I'm even blushing now.
These were the funniest NG special of W.
Cut. Okay. That was good.
We've finished all the shooting now.
Dear all the viewers who have loved W so far...
Thank you.
Through the character of Yeon Joo,
I got a lot of good energy.
Since I was able to fall in passionate love in this hot summer,
I feel grateful.
It was a drama with unique settings you cannot experience in reality.
Thank you for cheering us up all the time.
I really appreciate your support.
I'll try my best to do a better job in the future.
I hope you will remember W for a long time.
I hope everyone's life has a happy ending.
I wish you won't forget W too soon.
- I really appreciate it. - Thank you.
Thank you.
