Original subtitles

W is Korea's top webtoon series.

WILL CHUL FIND THE KILLER?

The main character, Kang Chul, learns from Oh Yeon-joo

that he's a main character of a webtoon.

You want to shoot me? Go ahead.

Shoot me!

This is the most logical ending for the main character

who became a murderer while searching for a murderer.

Chul and Yeon-joo realize their true feelings for each other

and dream of a new, happy life together.

Why are you bleeding?

This means you'll also die if you get shot.

You are Oh Yeon-joo, right?

The girl who married Chul.

The real killer appears and threatens Chul by saying he'd kill Yeon-joo.

Have I become a real webtoon character?

Because I married the main character?

Because of the killer and Yeon-joo,

other characters in W lose their purposes

and start to disappear.

This isn't the sequel I was hoping for.

Isn't this place...

Do you remember?

This is it. You were on the ground around here, right?

I was so shocked because I thought you were going to die.

I was lucky indeed.

Promise me something.

When you leave this world again,

can you draw me something?

Draw you what?

A dream.

A dream?

Make everything...

that happened from two months ago when we first met to this moment a dream.

Everything will be solved if we go back to the time when we never met.

If I don't know you,

I won't look for you

or think about you.

Then you won't be pulled into this world.

I won't learn the truth from you.

I won't shoot your father.

The killer won't get out.

No one will be in danger.

And most importantly,

you shouldn't die.

I can't watch you die again.

Give this to your father.

It's too bad that we only got to do four romantic things.

I had over 100 more to do for you.

I want to hug you,

but I can't do that.

It may make me change my mind.

Are you going somewhere?

We're running out of time, and this is the only sure way.

Yeon-joo,

forget me.

I am just a webtoon character.

Take care.

Who am I?

Who am I?

Where is Chul?

Who am I?

Why won't you say who I am?

Who am I?

Tell me who I am!

You betrayed me.

Sir?

Sir, is everything okay?

Sir.

Why didn't you keep your word?

You said you'd find me.

Sir? Are you okay?

Who am I?

Tell me who I am.

Give me my face!

Sir?

Sir! Are you okay?

Sir!

Sir, are you okay?

I heard some noise.

After we parted,

the real killer disappeared from my world.

We found two drowning victims at the south end of the Hangang Bridge.

We found two drowning victims at the south end of the Hangang Bridge.

They're both male in their 20s.

Three people lost their lives,

but there were no more victims.

I can't believe this.

Ms. Gil, you should go back!

-You can't-- -I don't know what you're saying!

How can Yeon-joo disappear while in the car with you?

Ms. Gil, it's dangerous here! You can't go in!

-Seriously! -Ms. Gil!

-Ms. Gil! -Where is your car?

Ms. Gil, no! Ms. Gil!

Ms. Gil! It's dangerous! Don't go!

Ms. Gil!

Shoot! Why won't she listen to me?

Ms. Gil.

It's that car, right?

Ms. Gil, please don't go. It's dangerous!

Yeon-joo! Oh, my gosh!

Oh, no. Yeon-joo, wake up!

Yeon-joo! Wake up!

-Yeon-joo! -Mom and Su-bong were safe.

And the characters in the webtoon

didn't disappear.

Not a single one.

Four new chapters went up overnight.

Yeon-joo almost got shot.

He appeared out of nowhere and shot her.

Who is it?

It's me.

Who...

Why are you here?

I thought you went to New Zealand yesterday.

I just came back right away.

May I come in?

Come in.

What happened?

Where's Yeon-joo?

She's in her room. She's sick in bed.

Did Su-bong tell you?

She had passed out after drawing something inside the car.

She's unbelievable.

I took her to the ER, and we just got back.

I don't know what is going on.

She won't tell me what she was drawing inside that car.

And Su-bong keeps talking gibberish.

I don't understand what he was so scared of.

By the way, why did you come back?

I thought you would stay there for at least a month.

Excuse me.

What foolishness is this?

GIVE THIS TO YOUR FATHER.

USB DRIVE CONNECTED

TO MR. OH SEONG-MOO

It's such a mess.

This isn't the sequel I was hoping for.

To Mr. Oh Seong-moo.

I heard you're alive.

I'm also alive.

I'm glad that you're alive,

but I won't apologize.

I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE ALIVE

I don't deserve to be forgiven,

but you don't have the right to forgive me either.

That rude punk.

I'm writing not to apologize, but to make an offer.

We have something that we must end together.

We're going to get some fresh air.

I'll accept the shitty fate you've given me,

so you should do what you need to do

instead of running away.

If it's for your daughter and not me,

you can do it this time.

GIVE W A HAPPY ENDING.

Give W a happy ending.

Mom, go sleep in your room.

Are you awake?

Are you all right?

Why are you sleeping there? It's uncomfortable.

It's all right. I don't want to move.

Your dad stopped by.

-When? -Around 11 p.m.

Gosh, he said he would stay in New Zealand for a month,

but he suddenly came back.

I wonder what's going on.

We're checking every surveillance camera and dash cams within a 5km radius.

We're checking everything.

Why can't we find it, then?

I'm frustrated, too.

-Hello. -Hey.

So, Chul, how do you feel?

I just can't stay awake. I must be all drugged up.

I think

the dream stayed in his subconscious for a while.

Therefore, I was able to see Chul a few more times after that.

Although...

it was always very brief.

KANG CHUL

I'm going to take your blood pressure.

Where's your surgical cap?

Oh, that's right.

Hey. What is that? Are you wearing a ring?

Do you want a beating? You're always in the OR.

Wow, that looks really nice.

Did you steal it from someone?

Did you get married secretly without telling the professor?

How could she get married when she doesn't have a boyfriend?

I knew it right away when I saw how she was on the blind date.

She's one of those people who will stay single forever.

I hear there are many single old women who live with cats.

She's following their exact path.

-Strangely enough, I agree. -Right?

-Get it together, or you're dead. -I'm sorry.

The third time I saw him was a week later.

In Chul's world,

it was after two months.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry I didn't see you.

What a pretty ring.

Hello? I'm by the entrance.

I see you.

-Why were you so late? -I was stuck in traffic.

Are you all better now?

-No. -Why not?

It still hurts.

What did you do these past two months, then?

Who is she?

I don't know. I've never seen her before, but she keeps staring at me.

She looks sad.

Maybe she's one of your past lovers.

Perhaps you hurt her and dumped her.

Punk.

Let's go.

Just as I drew it,

Chul forgot everything.

Why aren't you inside yet?

Hey, what's wrong?

As he got better and busier,

Chul didn't even have dreams anymore.

He completely

forgot about me.

He was infinitely devastated.

LIFE IS SOMETIMES...

He had lost his direction in life.

Chul depended on the power of love in order to live.

But that man is gone now.

He went back

to being the man the readers know and love.

It's Chul again. Shit.

Why are they always together?

Our main character

who is always strong

and never discouraged.

W PROJECT REPORT NO. 1

It was too sudden,

so Seon-mi and Yun-hui can't come before Wednesday.

The two of us can do it.

But Mr. Oh...

Actually, I was on the way back to my hometown.

I am going to give up drawing cartoons.

I am seriously scared.

I have not slept well

ever since you were shot.

I don't understand why my life has to be in danger

just for drawing cartoons.

I went to churches as well as Buddhist temples.

I even got myself talismans.

But I still don't feel at peace.

I'm seriously scared to even come here--

I called you because I want to end it right.

I will go shave now.

I plan to end W with a happy ending.

A happy ending?

Chul will find the real killer and punish him.

We will get rid of the killer forever.

Otherwise, we don't know what will happen again.

Are we killing the killer?

He killed three real people and even tried to kill my daughter.

We can't just leave him be.

Even though he's a killer, I created him.

It's only right that I end him.

In order to get rid of the killer,

you have to create his identity first.

He can't be like a ghost as he is now.

He has to be a human I can catch.

I am attaching a copy of all the W Project reports.

W PROJECT REPORTS

The reports include investigation records of 353 suspects.

You have to create someone that is not in the reports.

Only then will I accept it,

and only when I accept it, can this webtoon end.

W PROJECT REPORTS

You have to read every single one.

And we have to eliminate all overlapping setups,

or Chul will get suspicious.

If Chul becomes suspicious,

the curse will begin again.

Mr. Oh,

we made it a perfect crime. So how do we create the killer?

Whatever evidence we come up with, there will always be a flaw.

There will be flaws. We can't help that.

So we must come up with a face that Chul can believe despite the flaws.

A face that Chul can believe?

I already picked the face.

He is the only person Chul will accept as the real killer.

Mr. Kang, shall I prepare breakfast?

-In ten minutes, after I wash up. -Okay.

-Hello? -Where are you?

I'm still at the hotel.

-I finally got something. -What?

There was a man who came from the hotel rooftop that night.

He was caught on a delivery truck's dash cam.

Chul.

You said they checked everything but found nothing for two months.

I know, but they missed one.

The bakery truck delivering ingredients to the hotel kitchen.

I called you because I wanted to add it to the show today

if it is a lead.

It has to be right.

Look at the face.

That guy.

Zoom in a little.

More. A little more.

This is...

He kind of looks similar to you.

That's right. It is me.

You're using yourself

as the real killer?

He won't believe it if it's not me.

Let's stop this now!

I'm the only suspect he saw.

He'll believe it if he sees my face.

Yes. I know him.

He stabbed me on the roof.

I thought I had imagined it since they didn't find anything.

How was he caught on this?

You said other surveillance cameras didn't catch anything.

That doesn't matter now. At least one camera caught him.

This is unbelievable.

Let's air it on the show today. Getting tips from the public is faster.

-Call Mr. Park. -Yes, sir.

-Hey, Yeon-joo. Have you seen it? -Pardon?

Have you seen W?

No, not yet.

The king has returned.

The Great Oh Seong-moo has returned.

After that idiot Yeon-joo disappeared, the story is going great.

Haven't you seen it yet?

I was really disappointed as I watched W get ruined.

I couldn't say anything because the author was injured.

And frankly, the recent storyline was absolute rubbish.

It was a third-rate childish cheap romance.

It didn't make any sense.

But now, Mr. Oh has finally come to his senses.

Everything was just a dream.

This is a fresh start.

Chul will catch the killer and then marry So-hee.

That's how it should be.

Gosh. It's only right.

Doesn't that sound nice?

That's right. Your father is in good health, right?

Tell him not to strain himself.

And tell him that I'm looking forward to his work very much. Okay?

-All right. -Okay!

Chul's action! Chul loves So-hee, Chul hates Yeon-joo!

Oh, wait.

Why does the killer look exactly like Mr. Oh?

-Pardon? -He looks like Mr. Oh.

Could it be...

It's like Hitchcock's movie, right? He's leaving his face in his work.

Gosh. W is driving me crazy.

The killer has the author's face.

Gosh, W.

It's the best!

W! Yes!

He's giving it a happy ending?

No. He said he will finish it in four chapters.

What you saw is the first.

What kind of happy ending?

Well, now that Mr. Oh has left a clue,

they'll catch him using the broadcast.

Please take a careful look at this picture.

This is the prime suspect of the assault on Mr. Kang Chul

at the Seoul Prime Hotel on May 22nd.

He seems to be in his late 50s to early 60s.

On the day of the assault,

he was wearing a gray hooded jacket, an olive green T-shirt, and navy trousers.

He wears glasses and has a gray beard.

He seems to be around 175cm tall.

If you have seen him or know his whereabouts,

please call us.

-Goodness. -Does he live in our neighborhood?

They finally found him. His name is Han Sang-hun, 61 years old.

He was Chul's father's teammate on the shooting team.

He felt that he was being overshadowed by Chul's father.

He has been seeing a psychiatrist for a while for paranoia.

He's basically crazy.

POLICE LINE

They also found all kinds of evidence in his residence.

Chul's blood, a knife with his fingerprints, Chul's family photo,

and even records of his crime.

I found them!

Please keep it short.

Thank you.

I killed your family.

Your father was a rude and arrogant douchebag.

The day before it happened,

I ran into him at a bar after five years.

That asshole was still just as condescending.

That's why I killed him.

I went in to kill just your father,

but I ended up killing everyone.

I would've killed you as well if you were there.

I thought I'd get caught soon after,

but the prosecutor insisted you were the killer.

I don't know if he was stupid

or if he was up to something.

Either way, it was good for me.

I never thought

you'd keep hunting me for over ten years.

I got sick of it.

That's why I called you to the roof and stabbed you.

But you didn't die.

Why didn't you die?

Maybe I should've shot you like I shot your parents.

You asshole!

That's not the end.

We should kill and eliminate the killer within the webtoon

to prevent future trouble.

Is Chul going to kill him in vengeance?

That's not a happy ending.

A villain must be killed

by another villain.

The murder case of Mr. Kang's family has been aired

several times over the past five years.

I'm sure everyone remembers.

After a long and tiring chase, the truth finally came to light.

Ten years and two months after the incident,

the suspect, Han, finally confessed to his crime on August 20th.

He already confessed. It's over now.

No!

No. That's not right, sir.

Chul must have bribed him. That's not true.

Look here, it's game over now.

You lost to Chul.

You need to resign.

Are you telling me to step down after getting this far?

Don't drag everyone down with you.

You are on your own now.

Han Cheol-ho misses his chance to be the next president

and loses his mind.

He wants me...

to step down?

Hello.

It's me.

How are your boys doing these days?

He kills the killer under the guise of suicide.

Wait.

Stop!

He even makes a fake suicide note that says

Chul bribed him to make a false confession.

He told me to do it.

He told me to make a fake suicide note.

He makes me do things like that at times.

He didn't tell me to kill him,

but that's what he meant.

Who are you talking about?

Han Cheol-ho, the one running for president.

Chul turns the tables on him.

Sir, is that true?

THE POLICE WILL ERADICATE CRIME

He's here.

-What was your motive? -Why did you kill him?

Is what the man said true?

-Wait. -Please say something!

HAN CHEOL-HO ARRESTED FOR MURDER

The killer dies, and Cheol-ho goes to prison.

It's a clean triumph of good over evil.

What do you think? Would people like it?

They'll love it.

I know, right?

If this goes well, I may finally be able to sleep well.

This is how it was supposed to be in the first place.

Nothing would've happened, then.

-Is that the end? -What?

What's the last scene?

Chul's love story...

We thought Chul's love story needed an ending, too.

How?

Will he...

marry So-hee?

No. Nothing that extreme.

TO CHUL

Chul, congratulations on fulfilling your heartfelt wish.

You've worked hard.

I'm glad my wish for you came true as well.

Your longtime friend, So-hee.

What was with that mature letter?

Where are you?

Okay.

So-hee!

We'll hint that they'll get together, and end it there.

Hello?

Yeon-joo, are you still there?

I see.

Please answer immediately. I almost had a heart attack.

It feels so futile, Su-bong.

No one remembers me there,

and no one in this world knows what I went through.

I don't even have a single picture.

I was an idiot and didn't even take a single picture.

Do you know

what I did yesterday?

THE FINAL CHAPTER IS COMING OUT IN AUGUST?

YEON-JOO?

STAB

STAB

I'm asking for a truce.

Sorry for what I did a while ago.

Answer me.

Where do you live?

ANSWER ME. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

You will regret it.

Is this sweet?

I love it.

Oh, my gosh.

It says to read like this.

I'm tying your shoes.

Did I do four sweet things now?

DID I DO FOUR SWEET THINGS NOW?

This isn't the time for homework.

Have some watermelon.

What are you doing?

What is all that? It looks messy.

Act your age.

Take them down. It's ugly.

Put up photos of your real boyfriend instead, will you?

Isn't it ridiculous?

Let's talk later, Su-bong.

Chul.

How are you?

Are you happy these days?

I'm not.

Every day that goes by...

Yeon-joo.

-Are you going to sleep? -Yes, for ten minutes.

What about dinner?

I'm sleepy.

Okay, see you.

Code Black, Code Black emergency.

Shooting victims will arrive soon.

There are too many victims for the ER to handle.

Doctors of all departments who are not on duty,

please come to the emergency room now.

Code Black emergency.

-What's going on? -Shooting victims will arrive soon.

There are too many victims for the ER to handle.

Doctors of all departments who are not on duty...

HANKUK SUNGJIN MEDICAL CENTER

There was a shooting?

Didn't you see the news? There was a shooting at a broadcasting station.

At a broadcasting station?

We have emergency patients!

-Move out of the way. -Please move.

-Go straight. -Hello?

So-hee!

He got shot in the stomach.

What's this?

Why am I here again?

It hasn't been confirmed yet,

but eight people died

and more than 15 people were injured.

I repeat.

A shooter opened fire

inside W's recording studio around 6 p.m. today.

The shooter hasn't been identified.

And despite containing the area,

the shooter managed to flee the scene.

All the victims were staff members of W.

There were about 23 people at the crime scene,

yet the culprit shot everyone in the studio in less than five minutes.

Currently, eight people were confirmed dead.

The 15 people who were injured

are being treated Hankuk Sungjin Medical Center.

-What's going on? -Seven are in critical condition.

-This isn't what's supposed to happen. -We predict the death count to rise.

Here's the list of people who were confirmed to be deceased.

The host of the program...

What's the current situation?

Who died?

I'm a doctor!

It's an emergency.

Please hurry up!

It's an emergency.

Out of the way!

Please take a look at her.

She got shot in the leg and is in great pain. Please do something.

It hurts.

Dr. "Oh Yeon-joo"?

Dr. Oh.

Can't you hear me?

Please do something! Are you deaf?

Just a minute.

How is she?

She needs surgery, but she's not bleeding much,

so she'll survive.

I'm sorry I yelled a while ago.

What about you? Are you hurt?

I'm not.

I saw in the news...

Oh, that's a false report.

I remember you.

You dropped that ring before, didn't you?

Why do you keep looking at me like that?

Because I don't know why I am here.

Mr. Kang!

How is Mr. Son?

He's in surgery. May we talk?

Let's go.

I'm back, Mr. Oh!

Mr. Oh?

Have some pork trotters.

Mr. Oh, I bought some pork trotters.

Is he sleeping?

Sir?

Is that you, Su-bong?

It's me, Su-bong.

Su-bong.

SU-BONG

My face disappeared.

Su-bong.

What the...

Help me, Su-bong.

He took my face.

Where did my face go?

Su-bong.

Su-bong?

Sit down.

Please take a close look at this picture.

This is the prime suspect of the assault on Mr. Kang Chul

at the Seoul Prime Hotel on May 22nd.

On the day of the assault,

he was wearing a gray hooded jacket, an olive green T-shirt, and navy trousers.

He wears glasses and has a gray beard.

He seems to be around 175cm tall.

If you have seen him or know his whereabouts--

-What happened? -What happened?

What happened?

-Did he collapse? -Did he collapse?

What's wrong with him?

What's going on?

We're not sure.

Please wait.

-What happened? -What?

See what's wrong with him!

What's going on here?

Shit!

Who are you?

Request assistance.

Chul.

Are you there?

Can you hear me?

I had to come because you were looking so desperately for me.

I wanted to show you my face.

You suffered a lot because I didn't appear for ten years, didn't you?

It was painful for me, too.

I wanted to appear in front of you, but I had no means to.

This is me.

How's my face?

I love it so much.

I'll see you often.

Breaking news.

The face of the shooting suspect has been released.

The man is presumed to be in his 60s, and his identity is still unknown.

The police launched a manhunt for the suspect.

Around 6 p.m. today, he opened fire in W's studio.

Please help!

The killer must pay for this.

And now the killer has committed a mass murder.

Who are you? Why are you here?

Why am I still here?

Yeon-joo, it's been bothering me.

Why do you keep looking at me like that?

How is this a happy ending?

I don't know why we bothered breaking up.

I know it all.

Shall I tell you what will happen to the both of us from now on?

We will kill each other.

I want to know the truth.

Are you suspecting me right now?
