Rated S for Spoilers. I mean, I don't really think I have much to spoil, and this is no way a recap or , but just to be safe. :3

Wow. This drama feels like an express train. I can't believe it's already on its seventh episode. And yes, I am already dreading the void this would leave when it ends. TTATT I really like this show for having such a solid story line, and though it is largely romance, there is a compelling back drop of fantasy. As a big, big fan of fiction, I just find the whole plot irresistable. There are really good philosophical questions about existence here, and it vaguely reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit (haha, I know, I am kind of weird) up to some extent you question exactly what validates life.

I am awed at Chul's journey and I found his reactions to not being real credible. And it speaks to me, you know, and  I guess it must speak to others in a psychological kind of way, what if at one point in your life, you realize all your life aspiration and goals becomes meaningless? By most standards, Chul is pretty much a painful Gary Stew: rich, popular, good looking, smart, but a person who is perfect is seldom an intriguing story (unless it's fanfiction), and the journey to satisfaction is what drives the readers. If it's romance, then it is finding love. If it's vengeance, then it's a resolution to murder. Being perfect means love is easily achieved, being smart and rich in resource means mysteries are easy to solve, but being unreal... that's a hurdle possibly the hardest to overcome. Then Chul's life quest to satisfaction is the quest for meaning. At this point of his life when he realizes he is a puppet who dances for a show, meaning is lost and while giving Yeon Joo what she wants (sweet romance) doesn't feel to taxing, it's obvious that he still takes his life worth equal to another person's entertainment and possibly nothing more.

Which of course leads to a reasserting narrative of the killer, who I feel is trying to reassert his life's consequence equal to Kang Chul's. The world of W stopped when Chul recognizes his non-being, and I feel the killer crossed over to real world at the same time as Chul did. So I am theorizing that both of them are cognizant. While most characters are defined by their relations to Chul, the killer has internal motivations, and I am unsure if I am joining the theory bandwagon of the killer being Dark Chul. I am kind of leaning more towards a no, but you know, resurfacing tropes and is whispering corny storylines to me, saying maybe it's Chul's twin and he has, you know, jealousy issues... and you know, receycled crap. But uh, I think that's sort of lame, and W hasn't been lame in the 7 hours that I have spent in this drama, so yeah, leaning tower of I don't think so. I think the antagonist is incomplete, but he has a will and a need to be completed, and while Yeon Joo is trying to direct the story to a completely different path, the antagonist, perhaps suffering from the same dilution of So Hee is fighting for his life's consequence. I think that's amazing. The need for validity, the validation of your life's identity.

Chul is the main character, Yeon Joo is the female lead, and the antagonist is the killer. If Chul decides to abandon the search for the killer, then what is the antagonist's existence for?

I really liked the conversation between Chul and the killer because killer is trying to give rules of existence structure.

He asks Chul, where are you? What are you doing? So you can't kill yourself? You don't know how long I waited. Come find me. You must find me.

When asked who he is the killer says, I am the killer of your family. I will kill your new family.

What I see is the killer needing Chul to keep his existence solid. The character has a driving motivation, perhaps the only person in the W world that matches Chul. He is made a killer of Chul's family, so he sees that he needs to kill Chul's new one. It's simplistic, but simple goals are really direct motivations. I just am so excited.

In the romance aspect, I don't have many complaints, lol, Jong Suk was the lead of my first K-Drama, and he has been my most favourite puppy. I have watched most of his work, and sevvy is inexplicably happy that he is playing a real full grown adult wanting rated scenes. Ha Ha Ha. And Jong Suk is just such an RTO perfect boyfriend from his I Hear Your Voice Days. It's just his sulky/sad face is just... I find them hard to look at, so I am always rooting for Jong Sukkie to be a happy puppy. This show also has a good volume of mutual kissy advances and while the first and second one made me LOL, the third and fourth made me go aawwww.... Yes. Yes. I hope fictional Jong Sukkie's lips are happy. /nods.

I have many thoughts on this show, like being sad for So Hee being actually defined by a man's attention. Oh feminist heart despair. And Yeon Joo abandoning IRL like a crazed fangirl. And Lee Tae Hwan needs a bigger role (LOL). And what kind of ending am I expecting... which I never really know...

Anywho, I think I should end this here, you know, bigger life fishies to fry and all.

Ciao.

If you're watching this and want to talk about this, lemme here you say, JONG SUKKIIIIIIIEEEE PUPPY!!!! or not. Just comment if you're boring! LOL
