W: Two Worlds takes over no#1 spot in Wed-Thu drama spotlight.

The mystical fantasy drama screened on Wed-Thu drama night slot has crowned its new spot- MBC's drama W: Two Worlds have surpassed the ratings and sat comfortably on the number 1 spot. Previously KBS drama Uncontrollably Fondly was a popular one but somehow the story line has failed to capture the audience.

Both leads Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin in the two dramas are best buddies in real life however the viewers ratings seem to look favorably on W. I have to strongly agree on this fact as I have nothing against Suzy in Uncontrollably Fondly but it just didn't gain much hype and the story just fell off after the romance sets in.

On 27th July, W drama has recorded 12.9% according to the Nielsen Broadcast Korea on nationwide basis. Uncontrollably Fondly just recorded its ratings at 8.6% with a 4.3% gap difference. Within the Seoul metropolitan area, W has taken its spot with ratings of 15% while the other dramas struggle to keep their end.

Audience were drawn into the web toon (manhwa) world where heroine Oh Yeon Ju played by Han Hyo Joo ends up travelling back and forth meeting the lead character Kang Chul. She can't help but to keep doing comical things to shock him and his bodyguard Do Yoon.

The two different worlds they live in has made Kang Chul realized she is no ordinary human being with special powers. Her father the scriptwriter is fed up and furious that he can no longer control the web toon. It has come to live and taking its own course.

Yeon Ju is horrified to know she is stuck in the web toon as long as she cannot give Kang Chul the answers he is looking for. She is also worried for the safety of Kang Chul as she saved his life twice. Now she knows the heroine of the manhwa world has been switched from the PA Yoon So Hee to Oh Yeon Ju instead. And trouble spells out when Yeon Ju has been interrogated by the police for frame of attempt assassination. Chul demands the truth but is terribly devastated to learn that he is just a leading hero character in a comic world! 

So now it's keeping the viewers gripping to their seats to find out Who and Why is this happening to Kang Chul... :D
