Upcoming drama “W,” starring Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyu Joo, confirms its premiere date!

“W,” a romantic suspense melodrama taking place in Seoul 2016, will revolve around different dimensions, with characters moving between reality and false reality. As the plot unfolds moving in and out of different realities, unforeseeable crisis and conflicts will arise for the characters creating an exciting suspense. With a new and creative premise setting it apart from other fantasy dramas, “W” is expected to have shocking twists and turns.

Lee Jong Suk will play Kang Chul, who is a former shooting Olympic gold medalist and self-made young chaebol – basically a cool-headed genius. Han Hyo Joo will play Oh Yeon Joo, an outgoing and big-hearted second year cardiothoracic resident doctor, who jumps to act before she thinks.

Lee Jong Suk has built himself an impressive career and immense popularity through his performances in dramas such as “Pinocchio,” “Doctor Stranger,” “I Hear Your Voice,” “School 2013,” etc. After receiving love and praise for her role in popular historical drama “Dong Yi” back in 2010, Han Hyo Joo has starred in movies such as “LOVE, LIES,” “Beauty Inside,” and “C’est Si Bon,” proving time after time her talent as an actress.

Both actors are returning to the small screen after a year hiatus for Lee Jong Suk and a six year hiatus for Han Hyo Joo, increasing the anticipation for the drama even more.

Song Jae Jung, the imaginative writer behind “W” (known for writing dramas such as “Nine: Nine Time Travels” and “Queen In-Hyun’s Man”) will work with PD Jung Dae Yoon, producer of “She Was Pretty,” and as well as top tier actor and actress to create one of the most anticipated dramas of 2016.

“W” will air on July 20 taking the place of “Lucky Romance” on MBC.

I like this writer's dramas... but Han Hyo Joo seems so shady after her brother's scandal and its cover-up.

han hyo joo's not responsible for her bro's actions tho.

and iirc her dad is a general or sth so the responsibility for coverup is far more likely to be laid at his door than hers. like, between an actress and a military general, who's more likely to have the power to orchestrate a coverup of a military scandal?

i didn't say that she's responsible for her brother's actions nor did i accuse her of covering up the scandal

i guess i should have said "han hyo joo and her family seem shady" b/c lbr we aren't talking about a bagatelle here

as a celebrity, she should've acknowledged her brother's crimes and her and her family should've apologized publicly to the victim's family

if it was your brother that committed suicide, wouldn't you get angry if the family of the man responsible were trying to hide his crime and on top of that his sister is a celebrity? clearly, she isn't responsible for the soldier's death, but she deserves criticism for pretending it never happened

HHJ's company was shady trying to cover it up, HHJ went along with it, they never adressed it. So it is a bit shady tbh.

HHJ even promoted as Goodwill Ambassador for Republic of Korea Air Force...

I heard he is going to be on the June cover of Ceci magazine. His entire existence is a thirst trap.

Those character descriptions sound terrible already

oh but here's the twist: ljs is a comic book character who literally pulls hhj into his world.

The team behind the drama is great and I get LJS on my screen again? Yahoo!
I don't think I have ever seen HHJ in anything but Heaven's Postman...where I found her utterly unenganging. LJS usually has great chemistry with his on-screen partners though, so I'm not too worried. Just give me some scenes where he has to give his vulnerable look and cry and I'm happy.

I still feel so cheated by Doctor Stranger. It started off so strong.........

i love the first two episodes, but after the fourth episode everything started to go downhill... i still don't understand how a drama w/ so much great potential turned into an unapologetic mess
