What does “W” mean to you? Perhaps nothing more than a character in the English alphabet. But for South Korean drama fans, W represents their wildest dreams, their ultimate love fantasy, and the trigger for their most recent *binge-watching *frenzy.
“W”于你而言意味着什么呢？或许它不过是个英文字母而已。但对于韩剧迷来说，W 代表着他们最天马行空的梦，最终极的爱情幻想，以及让他们变回刷剧狂人的那部剧。
Premiering on July 20, the South Korean TV series W-Two Worlds interprets “W” as “double u”–double universe. To put it simply, it’s a time-travel drama with an unexpected twist.
韩剧《W-两个世界》于7月20日首播，在剧中，W可理解为“两个u”——两个平行世界。简单地说，这是一部情节转折出人意料的穿越剧。
The protagonists travel through different dimensions–the 3-D real world and the 2-D “webcomic world”. The story follows Doctor Oh Yeon-ju (Han Hyo-joo) in the real world, who unexpectedly *tumbles into an animated realm where she meets Olympic gold medalist and media *mogul Kang Chul (Lee Jong-suk). Their two worlds begin to collide as they interact with each other.
主人公们在三次元的现实世界到二次元的“网络漫画世界”之间来回穿梭。现实世界中的医生吴妍珠（韩孝周饰）意外地来到了漫画世界并遇见了奥运冠军、媒体大亨姜哲（李钟硕饰），而故事也就此展开。当两人展开互动时，彼此的世界也开始互相碰撞。
Don’t go back to read that last line–you got it right. The TV series lives up to most comic fans’ wildest dreams–to meet and even form a relationship with their favorite two-dimensional character. At this point, who can resist the temptation of watching?
不要回头去读前面那句话——你理解得没错。这部电视剧满足了大部分漫画迷最天马行空的幻想——和他们喜欢的漫画人物相遇，甚至展开一段恋情。在这一点上，谁又能抵挡得住这部剧的魅力呢？
The absurd plotline also contributes to its humorous effect. As the webcomic world is centered on its protagonist Kang, time in the 2-D world flies in accordance with his experience too. When there’s nothing happening to him, time simply fast-forwards. Therefore Oh, during her second trip to the 2-D world, witnesses her watch suddenly spinning and spinning until Kang shows up to tell her it was already two months later than she thought it was.
离奇的故事情节也为这部剧增添了不少喜剧效果。整个漫画世界都以主人公姜哲为中心，所以二次元世界中的时间也和他的经历息息相关。当他身上没有事情发生时，时间就会过得特别快。因此，在吴妍珠第二次穿越到二次元世界时，她看着自己手表的指针突然间快速旋转，直到姜哲出现，告诉她现在已经是两个月后了。
The key for Oh to return to the real world also lies with Kang. Only when Kang feels emotional can the story between him and Oh temporarily stop. Realizing the trick, Oh tries to stir Kang’s emotions by slapping him in the face, kissing him, and even revealing her naked body to him.
而让吴妍珠回到现实世界的关键也和姜哲有关。只有在姜哲变得情绪化的时候，他和吴妍珠之间发生的故事才会暂时停止。意识到这一点，吴妍珠尝试了各种方法让姜哲产生情绪波动，包括打耳光，亲吻，甚至全裸出现在他面前。
If you expect W-Two Worlds to deliver a clichéd love story as many other South Korean dramas do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. While the chemistry between the two protagonists keeps it fun to watch, it’s not the theme of the drama. Instead, the duo work together to unravel the ultimate secret behind Kang’s existence–who he is and who’s making his decisions. In that sense, the drama has transcended the love story genre and become a thought-provoking philosophical work.
如果你以为《W-两个世界》和许多其他韩剧一样，讲述的是一个老套的爱情故事，那这次你应该会感到十分惊喜。虽然两位主人公之间的化学反应十分有看点，但这并不是该剧的主题。事实上，男女主一起寻找姜哲存在的终极秘密——他是谁以及谁决定着他的一举一动，才是故事的主线。在这一层面上，这部电视剧已经超越了爱情故事，成为了一部引人深思的哲学作品。
