A look at W: Two Worlds’ iconic chemistry
Some people dream of meeting their idols, and while some achieve it, for Oh Yeon Joo (played by Han Hyo Joo), meeting Kang Chul (portrayed by Lee Jong Suk), the main character of her father's comic, was never part of her plans. However, she unexpectedly finds herself face-to-face with him and even saves his life.

The chemistry between Oh Yeon Joo (Han Hyo Joo) and Kang Chul (Lee Jong Suk) in W: Two Worlds was off the charts. They had such a strong connection that it often left many fans feeling amazed and many speculated they might be dating in real life. Even before the drama, their interviews and magazine shoots showed a natural chemistry that continued on screen.
In W, Oh Yeon Joo, who saw Kang Chul as her ideal comic book character, falls deeply in love with him. Surprisingly, Kang Chul also falls for her, not just once, but twice in this unique storyline. Their love story was incredibly romantic and added a lot of emotion to the drama.
Kang Chul embodies every trait of an ideal main character: handsome, wealthy, intelligent, and unfortunately, fictional. However, his perception shifts when he meets Oh Yeon Joo, a surgeon who inexplicably appears whenever he faces danger. Initially suspicious yet intrigued, Kang Chul soon believes she holds the key to his existence.
One of the most beloved scenes from W: Two Worlds is found in episode seven, which is when Kang Chul and Yeon Joo cozily cuddle on a bed, leafing through a book that is about an ordinary romance. Initially teasing a kiss, Kang Chul playfully withdraws and invites Yeon Joo to snuggle closer.
As they read the book and dream about their future together, it evokes a sense of butterflies in their stomachs. The amazing chemistry between Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo is well displayed in this scene which truly immerses viewers in the moment, making them forget about everything else about the drama.
While some couples in dramas confront ex-lovers, societal biases, or even deities, Kang Chul and Oh Yeon Joo navigate a unique challenge — battling between two dimensions. This unique premise makes their story captivating and definitely worth watching.
