W (2016): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
With total sales hitting
ten million copies,
W is Korea's best webtoon series.
Kang Chul is the main character.
The artist of the best-selling W,
Oh Seong-moo,
is terrified by Kang Chul
who has come to life,
and tries to kill him.
GROANING
Oh Seong-moo's daughter, Oh Yeon-joo,
gets dragged into the cartoon world
and saves Kang Chul's life.
You also saw him, didn't you?
You saw the living Chul.
She realizes that Kang Chul
is not just a cartoon character.
-Please let me in.
-No, you can't--
Oh, no. Please.
She tries to stop her father.
Are you okay?
Yeon-joo appears in front of him
when he is in danger
and disappears after saving him,
bringing Kang Chul closer to the truth.
I can do it if I want to.
That can't be.
Finally, it's in my possession.
The key to my life.
Anyway, is she really pretty?
Why does everyone say she's pretty?
As time passes,
his feelings for Yeon-joo change.
Are you married?
No.
That's good.
He's not there?
Hey, are you really sure about that?
All right. Pull everyone out.
They haven't done anything.
Okay.
SON HYEON-SEOK,
PRODUCER OF CRIME INVESTIGATION PROGRAM
You didn't have to come here.
No one likes seeing you here.
Why not?
They're ashamed.
Their employer was attacked,
and they found no clues for two months.
Of course they're ashamed.
They're all getting ready to resign.
That includes me, too.
Gosh.
You're only saying that
to stop me from nagging.
I mean it.
We lost the lead once again.
There's no trace at all.
I got video footage of the truck
entering here, but not when it left.
It's driving us nuts.
Is that right?
By the way, what happened to Oh Yeon-joo?
So-hee said something, right?
The case is not advancing
because you lost her.
You know that all of us
are desperately looking for her.
Why would you hide her?
She can't disclose her identity,
so I'm protecting her.
So, why can't she reveal her identity?
And why do you want to protect her?
What's going on between you two?
-What?
-I saw the video from the store.
There's definitely something going on.
You saw that?
Gosh, seriously.
I think Ms. Yoon is upset.
She must be.
I was wondering
when you two would get married.
You won't find someone better.
I'm old-fashioned, so what do I know?
You two figure it out.
Anyway, I need you to explain to me.
You shouldn't keep anything from me.
That's precisely why I'm here.
I have something to tell you.
About that nurse...
-Why did you switch the drug?
-...who switched drugs on me.
I really don't remember anything.
I really have no idea.
I don't know why I switched them.
If you don't know, why did you run?
I don't know why I tried to run away.
It's just that, after a while,
I realized something wasn't right.
That woman is still insisting
that she doesn't know anything.
It's actually very strange.
She has no motive to kill you.
She was a hard-working nurse.
Why would she do that?
It just doesn't make any sense.
I'm stuck.
You have to be stuck. There's no context.
-Context?
-Yes, context.
Things without context like this
keep happening to me.
I suddenly got stabbed
with a knife without reason
and was saved by a girl
who appeared without reason.
I almost got hit by a truck
and almost died without reason.
And that truck just inexplicably
disappeared without reason.
I told you, right?
It was like this
the day I was stabbed, too.
I remember a guy calling me,
claiming to know who murdered my family.
But I don't remember who it was
or why I trusted him.
I'm fine.
I don't know why I ditched my guards
before a dangerous encounter.
That's why I was helplessly attacked.
That day, I acted foolishly
as if I was determined to die.
What's strange is that
I don't remember why I did it.
It's the same for that nurse, too.
The nurse doesn't know
why she tried to kill me.
It's the same with that truck.
It came out of nowhere.
There was no license plate either.
I looked at the driver,
and he wasn't even trying to stop.
He almost hit a person,
but he didn't even bother to stop.
Then he disappeared into thin air here.
Everything that's been happening
to me these days is like that.
There should be a motive and suspect
to every crime, but they're missing.
Just like what happened ten years ago.
I've been desperately trying
to find the answer to this.
We've done so much until now.
I even bought the broadcasting station.
We created the TV show
to find a legal means,
but it's an investigation center.
I've invested trillions of won in it.
But what did we get out of it?
Of course, other cases
were solved in the meantime.
We helped arrest 99 percent
of the suspects.
Thanks to that, I get treated like a hero.
However,
we found no clues about the killer
whom we're really after.
We don't know his motive.
He's not likely a psychopath.
We got neither a strand of his hair
nor a witness in the past ten years.
So?
These days, I even started
having weird thoughts.
Perhaps the person
we're desperately looking for
is in another dimension.
And that I may never find him
even if I devote my life to it.
What are you talking about?
Are you saying the killer
is an alien or something?
He could be an alien.
What?
But not the alien we imagine.
They look like us and behave just like us.
Like Yeon-joo for example.
She knows everything about me.
It's as if she's been looking
over my life from above.
That was the saddest scene.
The Hangang Bridge.
I cried
with you back then.
I was afraid...
Chul would really kill himself.
She even knows my feelings
and thoughts that I never told anyone.
-How is that possible?
-I don't know.
Thankfully, she genuinely wishes me well.
-She tries to save my life.
-Why?
I'm not sure.
I think there's someone who wants
to harm me there as well.
That person who created
those nonsensical events
and is dying to kill me.
And who is that?
I don't know.
But I realized one thing for sure.
That person did all of this.
-Are you stunned?
-Of course.
You'll think differently if you see
a girl survive a gunshot to her heart.
I'm positive that Yeon-joo
is the key to my life.
She's the only one who can
open the door to all the secrets.
What's all this?
They're things you'll need including
clothes, shoes, and cosmetics.
Are you saying they're all for me?
Goodness. I can't wear them all.
Mr. Kang ordered us to bring over
a generous amount.
If you have your own preference,
please let us know.
That dress he bought me
was over three million won.
How much would all those be?
Tens of millions of won?
No. Hundreds of millions?
Oh, dear. What is it?
I just wanted to give you a hand.
It's okay. I can do it by myself.
You can wait outside.
I was told to serve you from now on.
Did you say serve?
You will serve me?
Yes, ma'am.
That's not necessary.
-May I help you with that?
-It's fine.
-Here, let me.
-I can do it. It's okay.
You don't have to do my makeup.
I'll be done soon.
It's okay. It's a bit uncomfortable.
I'll do it myself.
Mr. Kang likes the feminine style.
What do you mean by that?
Why do I have to dress up
according to his personal taste?
I thought you were his fiancée.
-Excuse me?
-I heard you were his fiancée.
-Me?
-Yes.
I see.
Why is the story going this way?
W is a hero action cartoon.
Gosh. Why is it becoming
more like a romantic drama?
This is making my heart flutter.
Mr. Kang is calling.
Okay.
Hello?
What are you doing?
Even hearing his voice
makes my heart pound.
Are you doing okay?
I'm calling because
I'll be out of reach until tomorrow.
Are you comfortable there?
Why did I become your fiancée?
Right.
The staff might find it strange.
I can't exactly say I'm locking you up.
Are you offended by it?
Not exactly.
Are you afraid
your boyfriend might find out?
I don't have a boyfriend.
You don't? Why not?
Do I have to have a boyfriend?
No. But you're an attractive woman.
I don't get why you're single.
Are you teasing me?
You said if I'm pretty,
a stray dog would be pretty.
You may not be pretty,
but you are charming.
How should I say it?
You're charming in an idiotic way.
Hello?
Are you upset? I was just joking.
I'm not upset.
Even that made my heart flutter.
I really am an idiot.
Don't laugh while keeping me locked up.
You're enjoying this too much.
If you want to go home,
feel free to call me.
You know that, right?
Good night.
I love you.
You know that doesn't work on me.
I know. I just took a shot
since you told me I was charming.
I guess not.
Good night.
I am an idiot.
If I hear that one more time,
I might get swayed.
Hear what?
So this is how a penthouse looks.
Wow, it's nice.
Three days have passed.
How much time has passed in the
real world? 5 minutes? 30 minutes?
What do I do?
I'm getting used to the life here.
How can I go back?
My gosh.
So this is where you were.
Yes.
What are you doing?
I couldn't sleep,
so I was just looking around.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
Would you have a glass of wine
with me then?
Wine?
Yes. You seem bored.
I am a little bored.
Let's go.
Where are you going?
Upstairs.
Mr. Kang said...
We're just going upstairs
for a glass of wine.
You can come with us.
I assume you have a family.
-I do.
-They must be worried about you.
Chul is so selfish to lock you up here.
My family probably hasn't noticed
that I'm gone.
But it has been two days.
They don't really care about me.
I see.
I forgot I have a video call.
Please go ahead.
It'll just take five minutes.
Please show her the way.
Excuse me?
This way, please.
Thank you.
Yes.
She's seated.
Pardon?
It's pretty.
I guess it's not all that bad.
When else would I come
to a place like this?
-For two people?
-Yes.
Wait...
Aren't you that person?
You're the doctor from the roof
when Mr. Kang was stabbed.
What building is this?
This is a hotel. Seoul Prime Hotel.
It's you, isn't it?
Everyone looked all over for you
because you disappeared.
The police are looking for you, too.
Didn't you know?
You were even on the news.
Why didn't you come sooner?
Well, that's...
I didn't know it was this hotel.
So it was the roof of this hotel.
Excuse me for a moment.
Oh no. What should I do?
She's here!
The lady who gave Mr. Kang first aid
when he was stabbed.
What?
Gosh.
Who is she?
OH YEON-JOO
What's up?
What do you want to say this time?
What do I do? The police might catch me.
The police? Why?
Ms. Yoon...
Excuse me. Hold on a second.
We must find her right away. She's nearby.
-Someone passed by here.
-Over there.
Where should I go?
I can't have the police find me.
-Me neither. Where are you?
-I'm going down the stairs.
-She's over here!
-Oh no.
Stay calm. Hide somewhere
to buy time until I figure it out.
I'm on the 28th floor.
I'll call you back.
What's going on?
I told you to protect her.
Ms. Yoon said it was your order.
Go to the 28th floor.
She'll be hiding somewhere.
-Help her.
-Yes, sir.
There she is!
-Hurry up and get her.
-Gosh.
Check the surveillance camera.
Ms. Oh!
I'll use Room 2816.
Hey, stop!
Come with us.
Where are you?
It's me, sir.
I'm sorry. She was caught.
Why do you have her phone?
She secretly threw it to me
before she got caught.
I don't think she'll say anything about
what happened in the penthouse.
What's going on?
-So-hee created trouble.
-What?
-Where's Yeon-joo?
-She was caught by the police.
I heard it wasn't Mr. Kang's order.
I'll take care of it. Don't worry.
Hello?
Hello, Detective Park.
Oh Yeon-joo has been caught?
Where?
She was in the hotel?
The first item on the news.
The sole witness of JN Global's
Kang Chul's attack has been identified.
There are many assumptions and rumors
regarding the case
that has remained unsolved for months.
-We'll have to wait...
-She's finally caught.
...if we can finally find some clues.
Ms. Oh, who pretended to be a doctor,
was initially known as
and considered the only witness.
However, as time passes, it seems likely
- that she's a suspect.
-Tell us the truth!
-Please tell us about the case.
-Ms. Oh!
What's your name?
-Oh Yeon-joo.
-That's not your name.
What's wrong with you?
What's your real name?
Oh Yeon-joo.
What's your government ID number?
Your ID number.
-I don't know.
-What's your home address?
I don't have one.
You know Kang Chul, right?
He's more powerful than the police.
No one can touch him
because the public loves him.
The people hail him as their hero.
The hero was attacked and stabbed,
but we couldn't find any clues
for over two months.
Do you know how bad it has been?
Let's make things easier.
Please help me out.
What's your ID number?
I just can't understand.
Here you go.
There's nothing.
She won't give any answers
and her fingerprints aren't in the system.
She must be an illegal immigrant.
I sought help from the Chinese police,
but something's weird.
I can feel it. Something's off.
You can just tell.
No, that's not it. No.
Yeon-joo.
I'm sorry, but from my perspective,
this was for the best.
I was worried about Mr. Kang
looking down on the police.
And we can't keep you locked in forever.
It doesn't make sense
for him to be living with a suspect.
He doesn't even know who you are.
Cooperate with the police
in the investigation and we'll help you.
But for now, we can't help you.
How can a victim help a suspect?
You should prove your innocence first.
Reveal your identity.
Tell them everything you witnessed.
After that, we'll provide you
with everything including a lawyer.
I have no identity to reveal.
Everyone has an identity.
I don't. I really don't have one.
Someone must have told you
how they switched the drugs.
Why did you run in there
if you didn't know?
It doesn't make sense.
Why do you carry a fake business card?
There must be a reason why
you carry it with fake information.
What's the reason?
Someone must be behind all this.
Who's really behind this?
You won't talk?
Hey, you!
Keeping your mouth shut
won't make it go away!
What are you going to do?
Answer me already!
Did you admit to the crime?
-How do you feel?
-What was the reason?
-What was your reason?
-What happened?
Tell us the truth!
After interrogating her, the police
concluded she is likely an accomplice.
Because she is a flight risk
and may destroy evidence,
she's being detained.
Oh was sent to
Seoul Detention Center today.
The victim, Kang, got the news
while on his business trip to the US.
You have a new cellmate.
Mr. Kang, did you hear the news?
The police believe she's a suspect.
Do you remember what happened?
I don't remember at all.
Do you think she is the culprit?
Definitely not.
How could I have been attacked
and stabbed by a woman?
There are rumors of
your prior relationship with Oh.
What do you think about that?
I don't believe in such rumors.
Don't believe it.
-Excuse us.
-Excuse us.
-Could you say more?
-Mr. Kang.
-Mr. Kang.
-Could you say a little more?
-Is it true?
-Do you not remember?
-Could you say more?
-Mr. Kang.
-Please say a little more.
-Please, Mr. Kang.
I'm sorry.
Let's stop by the police station first.
Yeon-joo was sent to
a detention center this afternoon.
-Where?
-Seoul Detention Center.
Everyone's very quick
when making a mistake.
So-hee just texted me
saying you won't answer your phone.
Here's the information we prepared.
Please review it.
Okay.
-Hello, where's Chul?
-It's me.
Mr. Kang, did you arrive?
Everyone is waiting for you.
I'm going to the detention center.
Send them away.
Excuse me for a second.
Even the lawyers don't know
what to do about it.
We have nothing to defend her with
even if she goes to jail.
She's not saying anything.
That's why I protected her.
Because she can't say anything.
Yet you sent her to her grave.
That's not my fault.
If she's innocent,
why can't she identify herself?
She's keeping her mouth shut and can't
defend herself. That says it all.
Oh Yeon-joo is not a witness.
She's the suspect.
For whatever reason,
she pretended to save you
and approached you again.
You're completely fooled
by her illogical claim.
I was framed in that same manner
and almost lost my life.
Did you forget?
That's exactly what they did to me.
They said it made no sense.
They asked why I went to school
instead of watching soccer.
I couldn't answer because
I had nothing to say.
That's how the victim
suddenly became the killer.
That will probably happen
to Yeon-joo, too.
Because it makes no sense.
Everyone looks at the appearance
instead of looking at the context.
And they believe they're being logical.
You say you acted sensibly,
but in fact, you didn't understand
Yeon-joo's context at all.
She didn't want me to be harmed,
so she tossed my cell phone
right before getting caught.
Her identity is not important.
If you understood the essence
of her actions, you wouldn't doubt her.
I started my business to help people
sacrificed by logic.
And yet, you created another victim.
You're unqualified
to be my personal assistant.
You should just remain my friend.
You're fired.
It's hot.
Inmate 4205.
Inmate 4205.
Yes?
Sorry, I came too late.
It took me two days to come back.
How is it in there?
It's hot.
I see.
It's hot, isn't it?
I stayed here for a long time, so I know.
I spent four seasons here,
and it's unbelievably hot in the summer.
Is it tough?
No.
Yes.
I just can't believe this.
I can't get used to it.
This only happens in movies.
I never imagined I would end up here.
I'm just a normal person.
Normal people come here, too.
Not many people know they would come here.
It happens unexpectedly.
When you wake up, you find yourself
sitting inside a prison cell.
Listen carefully.
The current situation is hopeless.
I have no reason to help you,
and the problem will only get bigger.
Attempted murder, murder-for-hire,
illegal immigration, and your instigator.
You'll be interrogated over and over
for various reasons.
There will be continuous
investigations and trials.
It'll be never-ending.
And like that, your life is ruined.
They're convinced
that you're the criminal.
They are exhausted
from the last two months.
You have to be the assailant.
They'll do anything to make that happen.
They'll humiliate you, scare you,
and wreck your mind.
It may last several weeks,
months, or even years.
After going through all that,
you won't be able to live
an ordinary life.
So answer my question.
I believe you've only told me the truth.
So there's only one way
to avoid what will happen.
Answer the questions I ask
and disappear from here.
Where are you from, Yeon-joo?
If I disappear from here,
all hell will break loose.
It probably will.
But you shouldn't worry about that.
You just have to disappear
and go back to your home.
I will take care of the rest.
This is my world after all.
Answer me.
I can't.
I told you.
You'll become miserable if I do.
I don't think
I'm too happy now anyway.
I don't know when I'll die,
so I can't even sleep well.
You know that.
Is it okay for you to be locked up here
for the rest of your life?
For 10 to 20 years?
No.
Answer me. We don't have much time.
I don't know what will happen if I do.
Things already happened.
Look where we are.
Where do you live, Yeon-joo?
Seoul.
We're both in Seoul.
So what's different?
That's where I live,
and this is where you live.
Then how do you know all about me?
I'm not there.
You said you saw everything about me.
Where did you see them?
A nude show would be better.
I told you that seeing you nude
won't affect me.
Answer me.
-You will regret it.
-I won't regret it.
What do you mean by
the world I live in?
The world inside a cartoon.
What?
Do you mean you came out of a cartoon?
No.
Then?
This world.
What do you mean?
This world is inside a cartoon.
A cartoon
that I read.
And you are...
the main character of that cartoon.

MYUNGSEI UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTRE
What? Where did she go?
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo! Gosh.
Goodness.
Yeon-joo...
No way! Were you really in jail?
Really?
Come on. You must be lying.
It can't be true.
No, it can't be true. It can't be.
I must be crazy. Gosh.
Yeon-joo, here's something
you can change into.
It has only been 30 minutes.
You disappeared
as I was talking to you on the phone.
I went to the bus stop,
and got your wallet and bag
from that woman.
-You only found these?
-Yes.
There must be something like a key.
She can't just go in.
There must be something.
I parked my car for a while
and Seon-mi called me.
-Hello?
-Su-bong, did you see?
-See what?
-Mr. Oh uploaded a new chapter.
He did? Just now?
Yes. But the story looks very strange.
It's too strange.
I think Mr. Oh has lost his mind.
-Why? Did Chul die?
-It's not that.
You have to see it yourself.
It's very strange.
-It doesn't make any sense.
-All right.
All right. Bye.
My goodness.
W BY OH SEONG-MOO
Where are you, Yeon-joo?
WHAT IS THIS NOW?
Darn it!
Does she think she can do whatever
she wants just because it's a cartoon?
YOU HAD TO KISS ME IN ORDER TO DISAPPEAR?
YES.
Look at her. They're kissing again.
Looks like her dream came true.
She must be so excited.
Maybe I shouldn't worry too much.
She's not an ordinary woman.
Let's see.
THE POLICE CONCLUDED
What?
Is she... What is this?
THAT SHE IS LIKELY AN ACCOMPLICE
Oh no, Yeon-joo.
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo!
All that happened within 30 minutes.
You disappeared at 10 a.m.
and came back around 10:30 a.m.
In the cartoon,
you spent three days in the penthouse,
three days in the police station,
and one day in jail.
That means you spent a week there.
It doesn't make sense.
Su-bong, I'm tired to death.
The detectives didn't let me sleep.
I remember each and every day.
I'm so tired.
I must have spent a week there.
How...
How is that possible?
Prison is no place for a person to stay.
-I couldn't bear a day, so--
-So?
Is that why you told Chul everything?
To get out of there?
What have I done?
What should I do now?
-I don't know that.
-What do I do?
I don't know.
It'll probably be okay.
SEOUL DETENTION CENTER
FAITHFUL LAW, FAITHFUL CORRECTIONS
There has been an escape attempt.
We'll shut down the exit for a while.
Hey, what on earth are you talking about?
She just vanished.
She just suddenly disappeared.
-Are you kidding me?
-It's true.
She vanished into thin air
while she was talking over there.
My goodness. What are you going to do now?
It's your fault!
Shit!
What happened?
How did she escape?
-Hello?
-We have a situation.
What situation?
-Yeon-joo--
-Don't talk to me about her.
I got fired because of her.
I'm not his personal assistant anymore,
so it has nothing...
What?
Why do you carry a fake business card?
Sir!
That woman Oh Yeon-joo escaped.
-What are you talking about?
-She escaped a little while ago.
Park Jeong-wu just called.
She escaped during Mr. Kang's visit.
-How could she possibly escape?
-I don't know the details.
They're going to announce it now.
We have breaking news.
The only suspect in the assault
on the president of JN Global,
Kang Chul, last May
has escaped from
Seoul Detention Center at around 2 p.m.
What's this? She broke out?
Mr. Kang wouldn't have helped her, right?
That'll be a big problem.
Details of the incident
haven't been identified,
but it appears that Oh escaped
from the visiting room,
where the victim, Kang, was visiting her
after returning from abroad.
The police are blocking the roads
and searching around the detention center.
-Oh was wearing...
-How is that possible?
How can a woman
escape from prison by herself?
They said Chul was visiting her.
Pardon?
Don't you understand what that means?
It means I finally have an opportunity
to lock up that punk Chul.
That psychopathic murderer.
Dad!
He hasn't come back yet.
He must be knocked out drunk somewhere.
I've seen it many times.
Yeon-joo.
Let's just end it.
-What?
-Let's write
"The end" at the end of the chapter
and put it up again.
It will be the end of W.
That way, you won't
get dragged inside again.
You're a fugitive over there.
If you go back in,
you'll get shot by the police
or spend your life in jail
until you're an old lady.
What are you going to do then?
If we end it,
what happens to Chul?
What will happen to him?
You should worry about yourself, not Chul.
How can you worry about
a cartoon character
when we might end up in an asylum?
Anyhow, the editor
will make a fuss about this.
Let's pretend Mr. Oh
changed it and sent it.
I don't think I can explain it to them.
We'll end it,
and Mr. Oh will take care of the rest.
This is the best option we have.
ORIGINALITY, SINCERITY, AND SERVICE
Yes.
We have to stay here
until things settle down.
Shut down gates 3 and 4.
He's not talking.
This world...
is inside a cartoon.
Your change of emotions is what counts.
What kind of rule is that?
Why are my emotions important?
Because you're the main character!
So you're not sure
how I'm going to die this time.
When I'm here, I don't know things either.
So I can't help you.
You know when you're there?
Yes.
It might take some time.
Yes.
I am one of those people
who want your life to have a happy ending.
-Keep searching.
-Yes, sir.
Search thoroughly. Move faster.
He wants to talk to you.
Chul. What's the matter?
-Who is it?
-Mr. Son.
-Hello, Mr. Son.
-What happened?
I heard she vanished
while you were with her.
Yes.
Was it just like you told me that day?
If it was,
she didn't escape,
but went to a different dimension.
I think so.
How is that...
How is that possible?
This is a huge incident.
You know Han Cheol-ho
is just waiting for his chance.
He'll definitely attack now.
I'm quite sure
he'll argue that you staged your attack.
I'm sure he will.
But Han Cheol-ho isn't the problem.
What?
He's not important at all.
The reason for my existence
is what's important.
Did you hear something from Oh Yeon-joo?
I did.
What did she say?
Something completely crazy.
My first impression of her was right.
She's a wack job. She's crazy.
She said something...
completely crazy.
Why do you care about her nonsense, then?
After hearing what Yeon-joo said,
everything that has happened to me that
I couldn't understand makes sense now.
What?
All the incidents that had no context
suddenly has context now.
It's a context that explains everything.
And what context is that?
It's something...
I've never even imagined.
So what is the context?
This world...
This world...
is all fake.
Everything is fabricated.
Do-yoon.
Do-yoon.
TO BE CONTINUED
"The end. Due to personal reasons,
I'll end the story here.
Thank you for your support."
That should be good, right?
The fans will be angry,
but what choice do we have?
What? What happened?
What? What's going on?
What's going on?
Goodness, what's going on here?
What's going on?
SON HYEON-SEOK
When the main character realized
it was fiction,
everything...
in the cartoon world stopped.
Only Chul survived in the world
where time had stopped.
As if...
it was punishing...
the one who became aware.
What's going on here?
What the heck? Shoot.
What's going on?
Gosh, what's wrong with this?
Why is nothing working?
This is strange.
Something must have happened to Chul.
-What do you mean?
-Something bad
must have happened to him because of me.
Oh, no.
Someone claiming to be your fiancé
came to see you.
Did I get pulled in again?
I came here.
I came out into your world
because I wanted to say goodbye.
You're just an illusion. You're nothing.
You're just a character I created.
Do you have any idea what I went through?
That's how fiction is.
It's my job as an author.
I still remember every painful moment.
This is the most logical ending
for the main character
who became a murderer
while searching for a murderer.
Subtitle translation by Jeong Lee
ten million copies,
W is Korea's best webtoon series.
Kang Chul is the main character.
The artist of the best-selling W,
Oh Seong-moo,
is terrified by Kang Chul
who has come to life,
and tries to kill him.
GROANING
Oh Seong-moo's daughter, Oh Yeon-joo,
gets dragged into the cartoon world
and saves Kang Chul's life.
You also saw him, didn't you?
You saw the living Chul.
She realizes that Kang Chul
is not just a cartoon character.
-Please let me in.
-No, you can't--
Oh, no. Please.
She tries to stop her father.
Are you okay?
Yeon-joo appears in front of him
when he is in danger
and disappears after saving him,
bringing Kang Chul closer to the truth.
I can do it if I want to.
That can't be.
Finally, it's in my possession.
The key to my life.
Anyway, is she really pretty?
Why does everyone say she's pretty?
As time passes,
his feelings for Yeon-joo change.
Are you married?
No.
That's good.
He's not there?
Hey, are you really sure about that?
All right. Pull everyone out.
They haven't done anything.
Okay.
SON HYEON-SEOK,
PRODUCER OF CRIME INVESTIGATION PROGRAM
You didn't have to come here.
No one likes seeing you here.
Why not?
They're ashamed.
Their employer was attacked,
and they found no clues for two months.
Of course they're ashamed.
They're all getting ready to resign.
That includes me, too.
Gosh.
You're only saying that
to stop me from nagging.
I mean it.
We lost the lead once again.
There's no trace at all.
I got video footage of the truck
entering here, but not when it left.
It's driving us nuts.
Is that right?
By the way, what happened to Oh Yeon-joo?
So-hee said something, right?
The case is not advancing
because you lost her.
You know that all of us
are desperately looking for her.
Why would you hide her?
She can't disclose her identity,
so I'm protecting her.
So, why can't she reveal her identity?
And why do you want to protect her?
What's going on between you two?
-What?
-I saw the video from the store.
There's definitely something going on.
You saw that?
Gosh, seriously.
I think Ms. Yoon is upset.
She must be.
I was wondering
when you two would get married.
You won't find someone better.
I'm old-fashioned, so what do I know?
You two figure it out.
Anyway, I need you to explain to me.
You shouldn't keep anything from me.
That's precisely why I'm here.
I have something to tell you.
About that nurse...
-Why did you switch the drug?
-...who switched drugs on me.
I really don't remember anything.
I really have no idea.
I don't know why I switched them.
If you don't know, why did you run?
I don't know why I tried to run away.
It's just that, after a while,
I realized something wasn't right.
That woman is still insisting
that she doesn't know anything.
It's actually very strange.
She has no motive to kill you.
She was a hard-working nurse.
Why would she do that?
It just doesn't make any sense.
I'm stuck.
You have to be stuck. There's no context.
-Context?
-Yes, context.
Things without context like this
keep happening to me.
I suddenly got stabbed
with a knife without reason
and was saved by a girl
who appeared without reason.
I almost got hit by a truck
and almost died without reason.
And that truck just inexplicably
disappeared without reason.
I told you, right?
It was like this
the day I was stabbed, too.
I remember a guy calling me,
claiming to know who murdered my family.
But I don't remember who it was
or why I trusted him.
I'm fine.
I don't know why I ditched my guards
before a dangerous encounter.
That's why I was helplessly attacked.
That day, I acted foolishly
as if I was determined to die.
What's strange is that
I don't remember why I did it.
It's the same for that nurse, too.
The nurse doesn't know
why she tried to kill me.
It's the same with that truck.
It came out of nowhere.
There was no license plate either.
I looked at the driver,
and he wasn't even trying to stop.
He almost hit a person,
but he didn't even bother to stop.
Then he disappeared into thin air here.
Everything that's been happening
to me these days is like that.
There should be a motive and suspect
to every crime, but they're missing.
Just like what happened ten years ago.
I've been desperately trying
to find the answer to this.
We've done so much until now.
I even bought the broadcasting station.
We created the TV show
to find a legal means,
but it's an investigation center.
I've invested trillions of won in it.
But what did we get out of it?
Of course, other cases
were solved in the meantime.
We helped arrest 99 percent
of the suspects.
Thanks to that, I get treated like a hero.
However,
we found no clues about the killer
whom we're really after.
We don't know his motive.
He's not likely a psychopath.
We got neither a strand of his hair
nor a witness in the past ten years.
So?
These days, I even started
having weird thoughts.
Perhaps the person
we're desperately looking for
is in another dimension.
And that I may never find him
even if I devote my life to it.
What are you talking about?
Are you saying the killer
is an alien or something?
He could be an alien.
What?
But not the alien we imagine.
They look like us and behave just like us.
Like Yeon-joo for example.
She knows everything about me.
It's as if she's been looking
over my life from above.
That was the saddest scene.
The Hangang Bridge.
I cried
with you back then.
I was afraid...
Chul would really kill himself.
She even knows my feelings
and thoughts that I never told anyone.
-How is that possible?
-I don't know.
Thankfully, she genuinely wishes me well.
-She tries to save my life.
-Why?
I'm not sure.
I think there's someone who wants
to harm me there as well.
That person who created
those nonsensical events
and is dying to kill me.
And who is that?
I don't know.
But I realized one thing for sure.
That person did all of this.
-Are you stunned?
-Of course.
You'll think differently if you see
a girl survive a gunshot to her heart.
I'm positive that Yeon-joo
is the key to my life.
She's the only one who can
open the door to all the secrets.
What's all this?
They're things you'll need including
clothes, shoes, and cosmetics.
Are you saying they're all for me?
Goodness. I can't wear them all.
Mr. Kang ordered us to bring over
a generous amount.
If you have your own preference,
please let us know.
That dress he bought me
was over three million won.
How much would all those be?
Tens of millions of won?
No. Hundreds of millions?
Oh, dear. What is it?
I just wanted to give you a hand.
It's okay. I can do it by myself.
You can wait outside.
I was told to serve you from now on.
Did you say serve?
You will serve me?
Yes, ma'am.
That's not necessary.
-May I help you with that?
-It's fine.
-Here, let me.
-I can do it. It's okay.
You don't have to do my makeup.
I'll be done soon.
It's okay. It's a bit uncomfortable.
I'll do it myself.
Mr. Kang likes the feminine style.
What do you mean by that?
Why do I have to dress up
according to his personal taste?
I thought you were his fiancée.
-Excuse me?
-I heard you were his fiancée.
-Me?
-Yes.
I see.
Why is the story going this way?
W is a hero action cartoon.
Gosh. Why is it becoming
more like a romantic drama?
This is making my heart flutter.
Mr. Kang is calling.
Okay.
Hello?
What are you doing?
Even hearing his voice
makes my heart pound.
Are you doing okay?
I'm calling because
I'll be out of reach until tomorrow.
Are you comfortable there?
Why did I become your fiancée?
Right.
The staff might find it strange.
I can't exactly say I'm locking you up.
Are you offended by it?
Not exactly.
Are you afraid
your boyfriend might find out?
I don't have a boyfriend.
You don't? Why not?
Do I have to have a boyfriend?
No. But you're an attractive woman.
I don't get why you're single.
Are you teasing me?
You said if I'm pretty,
a stray dog would be pretty.
You may not be pretty,
but you are charming.
How should I say it?
You're charming in an idiotic way.
Hello?
Are you upset? I was just joking.
I'm not upset.
Even that made my heart flutter.
I really am an idiot.
Don't laugh while keeping me locked up.
You're enjoying this too much.
If you want to go home,
feel free to call me.
You know that, right?
Good night.
I love you.
You know that doesn't work on me.
I know. I just took a shot
since you told me I was charming.
I guess not.
Good night.
I am an idiot.
If I hear that one more time,
I might get swayed.
Hear what?
So this is how a penthouse looks.
Wow, it's nice.
Three days have passed.
How much time has passed in the
real world? 5 minutes? 30 minutes?
What do I do?
I'm getting used to the life here.
How can I go back?
My gosh.
So this is where you were.
Yes.
What are you doing?
I couldn't sleep,
so I was just looking around.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
Would you have a glass of wine
with me then?
Wine?
Yes. You seem bored.
I am a little bored.
Let's go.
Where are you going?
Upstairs.
Mr. Kang said...
We're just going upstairs
for a glass of wine.
You can come with us.
I assume you have a family.
-I do.
-They must be worried about you.
Chul is so selfish to lock you up here.
My family probably hasn't noticed
that I'm gone.
But it has been two days.
They don't really care about me.
I see.
I forgot I have a video call.
Please go ahead.
It'll just take five minutes.
Please show her the way.
Excuse me?
This way, please.
Thank you.
Yes.
She's seated.
Pardon?
It's pretty.
I guess it's not all that bad.
When else would I come
to a place like this?
-For two people?
-Yes.
Wait...
Aren't you that person?
You're the doctor from the roof
when Mr. Kang was stabbed.
What building is this?
This is a hotel. Seoul Prime Hotel.
It's you, isn't it?
Everyone looked all over for you
because you disappeared.
The police are looking for you, too.
Didn't you know?
You were even on the news.
Why didn't you come sooner?
Well, that's...
I didn't know it was this hotel.
So it was the roof of this hotel.
Excuse me for a moment.
Oh no. What should I do?
She's here!
The lady who gave Mr. Kang first aid
when he was stabbed.
What?
Gosh.
Who is she?
OH YEON-JOO
What's up?
What do you want to say this time?
What do I do? The police might catch me.
The police? Why?
Ms. Yoon...
Excuse me. Hold on a second.
We must find her right away. She's nearby.
-Someone passed by here.
-Over there.
Where should I go?
I can't have the police find me.
-Me neither. Where are you?
-I'm going down the stairs.
-She's over here!
-Oh no.
Stay calm. Hide somewhere
to buy time until I figure it out.
I'm on the 28th floor.
I'll call you back.
What's going on?
I told you to protect her.
Ms. Yoon said it was your order.
Go to the 28th floor.
She'll be hiding somewhere.
-Help her.
-Yes, sir.
There she is!
-Hurry up and get her.
-Gosh.
Check the surveillance camera.
Ms. Oh!
I'll use Room 2816.
Hey, stop!
Come with us.
Where are you?
It's me, sir.
I'm sorry. She was caught.
Why do you have her phone?
She secretly threw it to me
before she got caught.
I don't think she'll say anything about
what happened in the penthouse.
What's going on?
-So-hee created trouble.
-What?
-Where's Yeon-joo?
-She was caught by the police.
I heard it wasn't Mr. Kang's order.
I'll take care of it. Don't worry.
Hello?
Hello, Detective Park.
Oh Yeon-joo has been caught?
Where?
She was in the hotel?
The first item on the news.
The sole witness of JN Global's
Kang Chul's attack has been identified.
There are many assumptions and rumors
regarding the case
that has remained unsolved for months.
-We'll have to wait...
-She's finally caught.
...if we can finally find some clues.
Ms. Oh, who pretended to be a doctor,
was initially known as
and considered the only witness.
However, as time passes, it seems likely
- that she's a suspect.
-Tell us the truth!
-Please tell us about the case.
-Ms. Oh!
What's your name?
-Oh Yeon-joo.
-That's not your name.
What's wrong with you?
What's your real name?
Oh Yeon-joo.
What's your government ID number?
Your ID number.
-I don't know.
-What's your home address?
I don't have one.
You know Kang Chul, right?
He's more powerful than the police.
No one can touch him
because the public loves him.
The people hail him as their hero.
The hero was attacked and stabbed,
but we couldn't find any clues
for over two months.
Do you know how bad it has been?
Let's make things easier.
Please help me out.
What's your ID number?
I just can't understand.
Here you go.
There's nothing.
She won't give any answers
and her fingerprints aren't in the system.
She must be an illegal immigrant.
I sought help from the Chinese police,
but something's weird.
I can feel it. Something's off.
You can just tell.
No, that's not it. No.
Yeon-joo.
I'm sorry, but from my perspective,
this was for the best.
I was worried about Mr. Kang
looking down on the police.
And we can't keep you locked in forever.
It doesn't make sense
for him to be living with a suspect.
He doesn't even know who you are.
Cooperate with the police
in the investigation and we'll help you.
But for now, we can't help you.
How can a victim help a suspect?
You should prove your innocence first.
Reveal your identity.
Tell them everything you witnessed.
After that, we'll provide you
with everything including a lawyer.
I have no identity to reveal.
Everyone has an identity.
I don't. I really don't have one.
Someone must have told you
how they switched the drugs.
Why did you run in there
if you didn't know?
It doesn't make sense.
Why do you carry a fake business card?
There must be a reason why
you carry it with fake information.
What's the reason?
Someone must be behind all this.
Who's really behind this?
You won't talk?
Hey, you!
Keeping your mouth shut
won't make it go away!
What are you going to do?
Answer me already!
Did you admit to the crime?
-How do you feel?
-What was the reason?
-What was your reason?
-What happened?
Tell us the truth!
After interrogating her, the police
concluded she is likely an accomplice.
Because she is a flight risk
and may destroy evidence,
she's being detained.
Oh was sent to
Seoul Detention Center today.
The victim, Kang, got the news
while on his business trip to the US.
You have a new cellmate.
Mr. Kang, did you hear the news?
The police believe she's a suspect.
Do you remember what happened?
I don't remember at all.
Do you think she is the culprit?
Definitely not.
How could I have been attacked
and stabbed by a woman?
There are rumors of
your prior relationship with Oh.
What do you think about that?
I don't believe in such rumors.
Don't believe it.
-Excuse us.
-Excuse us.
-Could you say more?
-Mr. Kang.
-Mr. Kang.
-Could you say a little more?
-Is it true?
-Do you not remember?
-Could you say more?
-Mr. Kang.
-Please say a little more.
-Please, Mr. Kang.
I'm sorry.
Let's stop by the police station first.
Yeon-joo was sent to
a detention center this afternoon.
-Where?
-Seoul Detention Center.
Everyone's very quick
when making a mistake.
So-hee just texted me
saying you won't answer your phone.
Here's the information we prepared.
Please review it.
Okay.
-Hello, where's Chul?
-It's me.
Mr. Kang, did you arrive?
Everyone is waiting for you.
I'm going to the detention center.
Send them away.
Excuse me for a second.
Even the lawyers don't know
what to do about it.
We have nothing to defend her with
even if she goes to jail.
She's not saying anything.
That's why I protected her.
Because she can't say anything.
Yet you sent her to her grave.
That's not my fault.
If she's innocent,
why can't she identify herself?
She's keeping her mouth shut and can't
defend herself. That says it all.
Oh Yeon-joo is not a witness.
She's the suspect.
For whatever reason,
she pretended to save you
and approached you again.
You're completely fooled
by her illogical claim.
I was framed in that same manner
and almost lost my life.
Did you forget?
That's exactly what they did to me.
They said it made no sense.
They asked why I went to school
instead of watching soccer.
I couldn't answer because
I had nothing to say.
That's how the victim
suddenly became the killer.
That will probably happen
to Yeon-joo, too.
Because it makes no sense.
Everyone looks at the appearance
instead of looking at the context.
And they believe they're being logical.
You say you acted sensibly,
but in fact, you didn't understand
Yeon-joo's context at all.
She didn't want me to be harmed,
so she tossed my cell phone
right before getting caught.
Her identity is not important.
If you understood the essence
of her actions, you wouldn't doubt her.
I started my business to help people
sacrificed by logic.
And yet, you created another victim.
You're unqualified
to be my personal assistant.
You should just remain my friend.
You're fired.
It's hot.
Inmate 4205.
Inmate 4205.
Yes?
Sorry, I came too late.
It took me two days to come back.
How is it in there?
It's hot.
I see.
It's hot, isn't it?
I stayed here for a long time, so I know.
I spent four seasons here,
and it's unbelievably hot in the summer.
Is it tough?
No.
Yes.
I just can't believe this.
I can't get used to it.
This only happens in movies.
I never imagined I would end up here.
I'm just a normal person.
Normal people come here, too.
Not many people know they would come here.
It happens unexpectedly.
When you wake up, you find yourself
sitting inside a prison cell.
Listen carefully.
The current situation is hopeless.
I have no reason to help you,
and the problem will only get bigger.
Attempted murder, murder-for-hire,
illegal immigration, and your instigator.
You'll be interrogated over and over
for various reasons.
There will be continuous
investigations and trials.
It'll be never-ending.
And like that, your life is ruined.
They're convinced
that you're the criminal.
They are exhausted
from the last two months.
You have to be the assailant.
They'll do anything to make that happen.
They'll humiliate you, scare you,
and wreck your mind.
It may last several weeks,
months, or even years.
After going through all that,
you won't be able to live
an ordinary life.
So answer my question.
I believe you've only told me the truth.
So there's only one way
to avoid what will happen.
Answer the questions I ask
and disappear from here.
Where are you from, Yeon-joo?
If I disappear from here,
all hell will break loose.
It probably will.
But you shouldn't worry about that.
You just have to disappear
and go back to your home.
I will take care of the rest.
This is my world after all.
Answer me.
I can't.
I told you.
You'll become miserable if I do.
I don't think
I'm too happy now anyway.
I don't know when I'll die,
so I can't even sleep well.
You know that.
Is it okay for you to be locked up here
for the rest of your life?
For 10 to 20 years?
No.
Answer me. We don't have much time.
I don't know what will happen if I do.
Things already happened.
Look where we are.
Where do you live, Yeon-joo?
Seoul.
We're both in Seoul.
So what's different?
That's where I live,
and this is where you live.
Then how do you know all about me?
I'm not there.
You said you saw everything about me.
Where did you see them?
A nude show would be better.
I told you that seeing you nude
won't affect me.
Answer me.
-You will regret it.
-I won't regret it.
What do you mean by
the world I live in?
The world inside a cartoon.
What?
Do you mean you came out of a cartoon?
No.
Then?
This world.
What do you mean?
This world is inside a cartoon.
A cartoon
that I read.
And you are...
the main character of that cartoon.

What? Where did she go?
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo! Gosh.
Goodness.
Yeon-joo...
No way! Were you really in jail?
Really?
Come on. You must be lying.
It can't be true.
No, it can't be true. It can't be.
I must be crazy. Gosh.
Yeon-joo, here's something
you can change into.
It has only been 30 minutes.
You disappeared
as I was talking to you on the phone.
I went to the bus stop,
and got your wallet and bag
from that woman.
-You only found these?
-Yes.
There must be something like a key.
She can't just go in.
There must be something.
I parked my car for a while
and Seon-mi called me.
-Hello?
-Su-bong, did you see?
-See what?
-Mr. Oh uploaded a new chapter.
He did? Just now?
Yes. But the story looks very strange.
It's too strange.
I think Mr. Oh has lost his mind.
-Why? Did Chul die?
-It's not that.
You have to see it yourself.
It's very strange.
-It doesn't make any sense.
-All right.
All right. Bye.
My goodness.
W BY OH SEONG-MOO
Where are you, Yeon-joo?
WHAT IS THIS NOW?
Darn it!
Does she think she can do whatever
she wants just because it's a cartoon?
YOU HAD TO KISS ME IN ORDER TO DISAPPEAR?
YES.
Look at her. They're kissing again.
Looks like her dream came true.
She must be so excited.
Maybe I shouldn't worry too much.
She's not an ordinary woman.
Let's see.
THE POLICE CONCLUDED
What?
Is she... What is this?
THAT SHE IS LIKELY AN ACCOMPLICE
Oh no, Yeon-joo.
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo!
All that happened within 30 minutes.
You disappeared at 10 a.m.
and came back around 10:30 a.m.
In the cartoon,
you spent three days in the penthouse,
three days in the police station,
and one day in jail.
That means you spent a week there.
It doesn't make sense.
Su-bong, I'm tired to death.
The detectives didn't let me sleep.
I remember each and every day.
I'm so tired.
I must have spent a week there.
How...
How is that possible?
Prison is no place for a person to stay.
-I couldn't bear a day, so--
-So?
Is that why you told Chul everything?
To get out of there?
What have I done?
What should I do now?
-I don't know that.
-What do I do?
I don't know.
It'll probably be okay.
SEOUL DETENTION CENTER
FAITHFUL LAW, FAITHFUL CORRECTIONS
There has been an escape attempt.
We'll shut down the exit for a while.
Hey, what on earth are you talking about?
She just vanished.
She just suddenly disappeared.
-Are you kidding me?
-It's true.
She vanished into thin air
while she was talking over there.
My goodness. What are you going to do now?
It's your fault!
Shit!
What happened?
How did she escape?
-Hello?
-We have a situation.
What situation?
-Yeon-joo--
-Don't talk to me about her.
I got fired because of her.
I'm not his personal assistant anymore,
so it has nothing...
What?
Why do you carry a fake business card?
Sir!
That woman Oh Yeon-joo escaped.
-What are you talking about?
-She escaped a little while ago.
Park Jeong-wu just called.
She escaped during Mr. Kang's visit.
-How could she possibly escape?
-I don't know the details.
They're going to announce it now.
We have breaking news.
The only suspect in the assault
on the president of JN Global,
Kang Chul, last May
has escaped from
Seoul Detention Center at around 2 p.m.
What's this? She broke out?
Mr. Kang wouldn't have helped her, right?
That'll be a big problem.
Details of the incident
haven't been identified,
but it appears that Oh escaped
from the visiting room,
where the victim, Kang, was visiting her
after returning from abroad.
The police are blocking the roads
and searching around the detention center.
-Oh was wearing...
-How is that possible?
How can a woman
escape from prison by herself?
They said Chul was visiting her.
Pardon?
Don't you understand what that means?
It means I finally have an opportunity
to lock up that punk Chul.
That psychopathic murderer.
Dad!
He hasn't come back yet.
He must be knocked out drunk somewhere.
I've seen it many times.
Yeon-joo.
Let's just end it.
-What?
-Let's write
"The end" at the end of the chapter
and put it up again.
It will be the end of W.
That way, you won't
get dragged inside again.
You're a fugitive over there.
If you go back in,
you'll get shot by the police
or spend your life in jail
until you're an old lady.
What are you going to do then?
If we end it,
what happens to Chul?
What will happen to him?
You should worry about yourself, not Chul.
How can you worry about
a cartoon character
when we might end up in an asylum?
Anyhow, the editor
will make a fuss about this.
Let's pretend Mr. Oh
changed it and sent it.
I don't think I can explain it to them.
We'll end it,
and Mr. Oh will take care of the rest.
This is the best option we have.
ORIGINALITY, SINCERITY, AND SERVICE
Yes.
We have to stay here
until things settle down.
Shut down gates 3 and 4.
He's not talking.
This world...
is inside a cartoon.
Your change of emotions is what counts.
What kind of rule is that?
Why are my emotions important?
Because you're the main character!
So you're not sure
how I'm going to die this time.
When I'm here, I don't know things either.
So I can't help you.
You know when you're there?
Yes.
It might take some time.
Yes.
I am one of those people
who want your life to have a happy ending.
-Keep searching.
-Yes, sir.
Search thoroughly. Move faster.
He wants to talk to you.
Chul. What's the matter?
-Who is it?
-Mr. Son.
-Hello, Mr. Son.
-What happened?
I heard she vanished
while you were with her.
Yes.
Was it just like you told me that day?
If it was,
she didn't escape,
but went to a different dimension.
I think so.
How is that...
How is that possible?
This is a huge incident.
You know Han Cheol-ho
is just waiting for his chance.
He'll definitely attack now.
I'm quite sure
he'll argue that you staged your attack.
I'm sure he will.
But Han Cheol-ho isn't the problem.
What?
He's not important at all.
The reason for my existence
is what's important.
Did you hear something from Oh Yeon-joo?
I did.
What did she say?
Something completely crazy.
My first impression of her was right.
She's a wack job. She's crazy.
She said something...
completely crazy.
Why do you care about her nonsense, then?
After hearing what Yeon-joo said,
everything that has happened to me that
I couldn't understand makes sense now.
What?
All the incidents that had no context
suddenly has context now.
It's a context that explains everything.
And what context is that?
It's something...
I've never even imagined.
So what is the context?
This world...
This world...
is all fake.
Everything is fabricated.
Do-yoon.
Do-yoon.
TO BE CONTINUED
"The end. Due to personal reasons,
I'll end the story here.
Thank you for your support."
That should be good, right?
The fans will be angry,
but what choice do we have?
What? What happened?
What? What's going on?
What's going on?
Goodness, what's going on here?
What's going on?
SON HYEON-SEOK
When the main character realized
it was fiction,
everything...
in the cartoon world stopped.
Only Chul survived in the world
where time had stopped.
As if...
it was punishing...
the one who became aware.
What's going on here?
What the heck? Shoot.
What's going on?
Gosh, what's wrong with this?
Why is nothing working?
This is strange.
Something must have happened to Chul.
-What do you mean?
-Something bad
must have happened to him because of me.
Oh, no.
Someone claiming to be your fiancé
came to see you.
Did I get pulled in again?
I came here.
I came out into your world
because I wanted to say goodbye.
You're just an illusion. You're nothing.
You're just a character I created.
Do you have any idea what I went through?
That's how fiction is.
It's my job as an author.
I still remember every painful moment.
This is the most logical ending
for the main character
who became a murderer
while searching for a murderer.
