Original subtitles

W is Korea's top webtoon series.

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

that he's a main character of a webtoon.

In order to get rid of the killer, you have to create his identity first.

So this was my face?

Chul joins forces with Seong-moo in order to protect Yeon-joo and the world of W.

You're working with Chul to kill me. That's a betrayal.

Just before they could do it...

Let's write some lines. First is Chul's line.

It's none of your business, Dad. Who do you think you are?

-How dare you get drunk and-- -This is all fabricated.

He kills Son Hyeon-seok who was like a father to Chul.

Hey! Stop!

-And frames Chul for the murder. -Are you hurt?

Where are we?

In a motel.

I tried to pick an inconspicuous one.

But I'm still worried.

You were framed, right?

Of something absurd?

That's why you ran, right?

I'll try to find out what happened and how you can solve it.

I think something serious has happened.

I just don't know what it is yet.

It's too dangerous to stay here for long.

And you need more medical supplies.

That's why I have to get out of here.

Will you be okay alone?

Look, Yeon-joo.

Hang in there and wait for me.

I don't understand anything you just said.

What are you talking about?

How can you help me?

Because I'm one of those people

who want your life to have a happy ending.

So our breakup would not be in vain.

Yeon-joo.

Who...

are you?

I have to get out of here.

So...

I really hope this works again.

TO BE CONTINUED

Su-bong.

Su-bong!

Dad?

Dad.

Why did you do that? You said you'd end it with a happy ending.

Why did you kill everyone

and frame Chul for it?

Can't you just let him be happy now?

Dad.

Dad?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

Yeon-joo, where are you?

I came to the hospital. Why are you not here?

I came to the work room, and my dad...

What happened to him?

You saw him? His...

His face disappeared.

I know! What happened?

His eyes, nose, and lips disappeared.

Shoot Son in the heart.

Draw a handgun in Chul's hand.

He was drawing like a madman.

So, my dad was drawing according to the killer's orders?

I don't know.

I just...

I am just...

too terrified.

What will happen to him now?

Is my dad the killer? Then how about that...

I have no idea.

It's dangerous there. Get out right now.

Chul was shot. He might die if I leave him alone.

But you might die first! Mr. Oh is not himself!

That's not him over there!

Just lock the door and get out of there.

Excuse me?

-Doctor. -Yes.

Doctor, I am terrified.

Someone might come, Doctor. Let's go inside.

-Okay. Let's go in. -Let's hurry inside!

Open it.

The door is open.

Mr. Seo, you need to come with us.

This will be a very long investigation.

If I think about how I was fooled into cooperating with you and sharing tips,

I could just...

Then again, I guess you couldn't have known.

Mr. Son knew Chul for over 30 years,

but he was killed anyway.

Sir.

-We found out where Chul fled to. -Where is it?

His car was caught on camera at an intersection in Yongin an hour ago,

but it disappeared before reaching Baekbong Intersection.

The stretch is only 3km, so we'll find him soon.

He was shot, so he couldn't have gone far.

We need to search your car.

We're looking for a suspect on the run.

May I check your trunk?

What? Kang Chul is here?

I'm not sure. My shift just started.

-Let me see your guest list. -Sure.

-Which room is it? -Room 209.

-Who is it? -It's the police.

-What is it? -We're looking for a murder suspect.

-Please excuse us. -Sure.

Who is it?

It's the police. We need to search your room.

-What is it? -Please excuse us.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Which room is next?

Room 213.

What is this? There is no Room 213.

Maybe there was a mistake.

Second floor is clear. We're going up to the third floor.

MEDICAL SUPPLIES

Hang in there. Just hang on.

What if you can't remember because you were drunk?

Are you...

suspecting me right now?

I want to know the truth.

Mr. Son.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

Yeon-joo.

Is that you?

Answer me.

Where are you?

Come to your senses and get up.

I can't go there right now.

So you need...

to treat your wounds yourself.

Please get up.

Who are you?

Are you Oh Yeon-joo?

When did you get out?

Dad?

Dad.

So this is where he works?

Let's go in.

Wait.

Yeon-joo?

-Excuse me? -Yes?

We just met.

Isn't it too much to hold hands like this?

-I... -Let's take it slowly.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

I'm sorry.

Yeon-joo?

Yeon-joo...

Gosh.

I thought something bad had happened to you.

Are you okay? Is your lip okay?

How is Mr. Oh?

I put him to bed and locked the door. I had no choice.

This is a great work room.

It's Kang Chul.

Is this the bathroom?

He became quiet when I turned off the power.

Why?

Maybe he loses contact with the killer when you turn it off.

I think so.

I'm not sure, though.

What do we do with Mr. Oh?

I'm trying to make it a dream again like last time.

Dream? A Dream?

That's right. We should make everything a dream.

How about going further back?

Something like ten years ago before Chul's family died.

Let's make it a dream he had before the killer had appeared.

Then we would be rid of him from the start, wouldn't we?

But...

I can't turn this on.

What if the killer is just waiting for me to turn this on?

We can't draw anything with it right now.

What else can we do, then?

Hello?

Wow, so this is her father's office.

Where's Yeon-joo?

She's right here.

Where?

What?

What is this?

What?

Wait, Seok-beom.

That's not what I meant. Wait, Seok-beom.

CHANGMIN PARTY

Oh Yeon-joo?

Is Oh Yeon-joo her real name?

Who is this Oh Yeon-joo?

Why did he run away with her?

HAN CHEOL-HO

Really? Then we should look for her first to catch that punk.

What goes around comes around.

It means that heaven is on the side of justice.

It also means that the world is still going the way it should be going.

I told you that Kang Chul was a psychopath.

That's right.

If Chul gets arrested, the process will take too long.

He is better off being shot dead.

It will be even better if he leaves a repenting suicide note.

Who are you?

Why are you here?

I'm sorry.

Hey!

-Who is that woman? -Pardon?

Have you all lost your mind?

Why did you let her in?

What are you waiting for? Go get her!

Yes, sir.

What's going on? Why was I in Han Cheol-ho's office?

Why Han Cheol-ho?

Is it because he's looking for me?

Did he pull me into this world?

Are you Oh Yeon-joo?

When did you get out?

Then last time,

it wasn't Chul who drew me in,

but the killer?

The main character isn't the only one who can pull me in.

Why all of a sudden?

-Did you catch her? -We lost her.

How could no one notice someone coming into my office?

I'm sorry, sir.

Who is she?

What's this?

Oh Yeon-joo?

What's today's date?

It's the 22nd.

What time is it?

It's 11 p.m.

Do you know what happened to Kang Chul?

Kang Chul?

Yes, I haven't seen the news.

He fled after killing someone.

He hasn't been caught yet.

Thank you.

If it's 11 p.m.,

only two hours have passed.

Welcome.

Pardon me, but what's today's date?

Today? It's the 22nd.

It's the 22nd?

It was the 22nd before, too.

Pardon?

Is it September 22nd?

Yes.

A month passed already.

Do you know what happened to Kang Chul?

Kang Chul?

Yes. I haven't seen the news because I was abroad.

They're still searching for him.

It's been a month, but they haven't caught him yet. That persistent asshole.

I heard a rumor that he died somewhere.

Some say he got shot when he was running away.

He can't die that easily.

Someone like him should be taken to trial

so he can rot in prison forever.

-I'd like to pay. -Okay, sir.

About 300 members of the Citizens' Coalition for Justice

gathered in front of the WBN Office requesting

for the broadcasting station to close down.

-Under Kang Chul's management, WBN-- -Jeez.

I'm sick of the news. It's always about Kang Chul.

I hope they'll stop talking about it.

It's not even good news.

How could a person do such a thing?

He shot his father.

He shot his mentor.

He's thick-skinned enough to pretend to be a protector of justice and a hero.

Are you there?

Answer me. Are you there?

I heard a rumor that he died somewhere.

Some say he got shot when he was running away.

Aren't you going down?

Join me. Have a drink.

This is the last day.

Let's celebrate.

He must have died.

He must have.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to endure it this long.

What is he planning to do?

He must have either died from the gunshot wound

or jumped into a reservoir somewhere

because he lacked the courage to show up.

It has to be one of the two.

Right?

If he really just died,

then that's so cruel.

How could he not even leave a message?

Do-yoon.

-Someone is here. -Who?

Oh Yeon-joo.

I saw her that time. It is her.

She wants to meet you.

Where is she?

Ms. Oh?

-Yes. -Are you really Oh Yeon-joo?

You were in the car with Mr. Kang.

Right.

The police were looking for you. Why did you just come now?

-There was a reason. -Why did you come to me?

I was wondering...

if you knew what happened to Kang Chul.

I haven't seen him since that day.

I was wondering if you have any news about him.

How would I know where he is? Even the police can't find him.

What's your relationship with him?

Nothing...

at all.

I'm just curious

whether or not he's alive.

Is he still alive?

I'm worried that he may be dead.

He was badly hurt when I last saw him.

I shouldn't have left him like that.

We ran out of medicine, so...

SINORI VILLAGE HALL

Go there.

I'll make a call.

Mr. Kang has been looking for you.

He is...

alive?

Also, I have a favor to ask.

I don't know what your relationship with him is,

but please persuade him to turn himself in.

There is no other option.

To reduce his sentence, he has to turn himself in soon.

I can't help him any longer.

Please persuade him.

Who is she?

Hotel staff.

SINORI VILLAGE HALL

SINORI VILLAGE HALL

Ma'am, is this Sinori Village Hall?

It is.

Oh Yeon-joo.

Long time no see.

Get in.

How have you been?

I'm glad to see a familiar face.

Say something, will you?

I'm excited to finally have someone to talk to.

I thought...

you were dead.

No way.

You explained how to treat myself so clearly.

Come to your senses and get up.

I can't go there right now.

So you need to treat your wounds yourself.

Please get up.

COME TO YOUR SENSES AND GET UP

There were no antibiotics, so I couldn't give you a shot before.

Get the antibiotics first.

You have to inject that into your vein.

Do as I say.

When I examined you earlier, the bullet was lodged very deeply.

It'll hurt, but you have to take it out yourself.

Close your wound.

And you're done.

You did great.

How dare you get drunk and give me an attitude? You little brat!

I said I won't stand it if you hit me again.

Honey, please stop!

Chul, stop it.

You punk. Get out and never come back.

I don't need a son like you!

I can't believe I've raised him--

Honey!

I said I won't stand it if you hit me again.

Honey, please stop!

-Chul, stop it. -You punk. Get out and never come back.

I don't need a son like you!

I can't believe I've raised him--

Honey!

The whereabouts of Kang Chul who shot and murdered Son Hyeon-seok,

the former director of Channel W, is still unknown.

Everything he has done to uphold justice

turned out to a charade to hide his crime.

The public is enraged.

Meanwhile--

I'm losing my mind.

After you left, I moved from place to place.

This is the fifth place.

What took you so long?

You acted like you'd be back soon.

You told me you'd figure out a way.

That's why I thought you'd be back soon.

There was a reason why I couldn't.

What's the reason?

It looks like you couldn't figure out a solution.

You only said it to console me.

I got my hopes up.

I thought you knew something.

I wondered why you were so sure I was framed when everyone suspected me.

I thought, "Is she a secret agent?

Does she know the killer?

Is she the killer's friend?

Is she the killer's daughter?"

Why did you look for me without a solution?

I was worried.

I felt bad about leaving you there alone that night.

Has your husband returned yet?

Do you miss a man's touch? Is that why you kissed me and then took off?

Because I look like your husband?

"A man's touch"? How can you say that?

You haven't eaten dinner, right? Let's buy something to eat first.

I don't have food in my place.

You have nowhere else to go.

You have no money or a place to go, and you don't know anyone.

That's why you have to mooch off a fugitive.

Am I wrong?

You're right.

I don't have money, but I'll take you in.

I owe you my life.

You don't have other clothes, right? I'll buy you some.

I'm fine.

I have to buy you clothes. I want to.

Aren't these better in a place like this?

It's just tacky. I like it.

Pick something you like.

It's embarrassing, but I can't buy you expensive clothes.

I do have a lot of money,

but I don't have access to it now.

How is this?

Well...

It's 5,000 won. It's cheap.

We both have no money, so let's be frugal.

If I could, I would buy you a dress worth three million won.

Just so you know.

I can't show my face, so you have to pay for it.

-How much is this? -It's 5,000 won.

You picked a nice one.

It's too hot. Let's cool off.

Where's my change?

I can't waste any money.

Let's go.

It's good.

How is yours?

It's vanilla.

Give me a bite.

I don't like it. Mine tastes better.

Try it.

Isn't mine better?

What's wrong with you?

-What do you mean? -You're a fugitive on the run.

You've been on the run for a month.

Besides, do you even know who I am?

You don't know me, but you let me stay with you and bought me clothes.

You're having ice cream instead of thinking about clearing your name.

What are you thinking?

Are you going to just idle your time away?

People go crazy if illogical things keep happening.

Consider me crazy. I can't think about anything.

I did everything I could for a month, but there was no solution.

Now I have two choices.

Keep running until I get caught or turn myself in.

After that, it will be a fight in court.

I'll be stuck in prison forever either way.

I think this is my fate.

No matter how hard I try, the result is the same.

Maybe I'm destined to have a sad ending.

We did two things, right? We shopped and ate ice cream.

Let's go grocery shopping now.

Shall we get some snacks?

Have you tried this?

Let's get it.

Strangely, I have a huge appetite now that I have someone to eat with.

Shall we get a watermelon, too?

I'll make you spaghetti. Do you like cream spaghetti?

You can't cook.

Who says I can't cook?

You're right. I can't, but I studied online.

I didn't have much to do, and I wanted to cook for you once you did appear.

What?

Go wash.

The bathroom is that way.

Did we do four things now?

Two more and I'm done with today's homework.

Grocery shopping.

Cake.

Going shopping.

Do you like it with a lot of bacon?

What did you just say?

What?

You said something about homework.

-Oh, that. -What do you mean by that?

The homework to do ten sweet things a day.

You said your husband disappeared after doing only four.

I wanted to do them on behalf of your husband

since you saved my life.

You said your husband looked like me.

Isn't that why you're following me?

How did you know?

I never mentioned anything about homework.

I read it.

From where?

Where did you read it?

Here.

You know this webtoon, right?

Your face says you know it well.

I read it in here.

Your husband disappeared after doing four sweet things.

He's so mean.

How could he do that to a woman after marrying her?

There's no way out.

I looked at everything, but there's no proof that it was fabricated.

Chul.

Turn yourself in. There's no other way.

Have you looked into Oh Yeon-joo?

She did hang around the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery for a week,

but no one knows who she is.

Also,

Han Cheol-ho is also looking for her.

-Why? -He wants to take his chance.

He rummaged through everything.

There was nothing left for me to find

except for this one thing.

It's a comic book which mentions Oh Yeon-joo, so I brought it.

I haven't read it closely yet.

I thought I should give it to Kang Chul when I see him,

but then, that happened.

It's a comic book.

Kang Chul is the main character.

There's also a character named Oh Yeon-joo.

I'm so sleepy.

What's this?

Chul.

How are you?

Yeon-joo.

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

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...

I thought this comic book was yours.

Am I wrong?

You wouldn't show up, and I had nothing to do here,

so I read this over and over.

I even memorized the lines.

I wasn't interested in it at first.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE!

OH YEON-JOO... WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?

YEON-JOO?

ANSWER MY QUESTION. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

YOU COULDN'T SHOOT ME, TO BEGIN WITH.

The story was fun and interesting.

I felt bad for Kang Chul, but he also seemed foolish

just like me.

That's why I didn't turn myself in.

So I could meet you.

I was going to ask you what happens next.

I couldn't go to prison without finding that out.

Have you read the book after this one?

What happens...

to Chul and Yeon-joo next?

So?

Does Chul forget Yeon-joo forever?

Answer me.

Is your husband who suddenly disappeared...

me?

Do you remember me?

Let's go on dates like other couples.

Give me a chance to catch up.

You're no longer the main character. You're a murderer and a fugitive.

You'll disappear soon.

There is only one solution.

Proceed with the story your father and I had planned from the beginning.

Promise me something. Draw something for me.

Do you want me to make it a dream again?

All I have to do is wait for you to disappear.

It's time that we use the variables to our advantage.

From now on, I'll summon myself.
