He becomes famous in South Korea as he won a shooting competition during the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Ten years later, Kang Chul becomes a multimillionaire.
He starts his “Project W” in his continuous efforts to catch the real culprit behind his family’s death; part of the project is his television broadcasting company dubbed “W,” after the initials of the interrogatives “who” and “why” (hence, the title of the webtoon). One night, he receives a suspicious phone call and gets severely injured by the same mysterious Murderer at the rooftop of his penthouse.
MY THOUGHTS
PLOT
It was so fresh and unexpected! I loved the idea of webtoon coming to life(and they executed it perfectly), and Lee Jong-suk(who played Kang Chul) was the perfect casting choice to play a cartoon character. Every episode had a lot of action, very unusual
(in my opinion)to this kind of KDrama.I loved seeing the same scenes we just saw in “real life” ,to then seeing them in the webtoon,it was such a nice touch. I liked it!
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN OUR MAIN COUPLE
Our main couple Oh Yeon-Joo(played by Han Hyo-Joo) who is the daughter of the author of the webtoon “W”, and our main hero of the webtoon Kang Chul(played by Lee Jong-suk). The chemistry was there! Was it over the roof? No, but it was still there and that’s important!
HOW IT ENDS
*Mild spoilers*
I expected much sadder Ending then we got, that shocked me(don’t know really why). For me the ending was satisfying, I really liked the last episode. To be very honest it felt a little rushed, but still good.
