"W" is definitely the strongest Korean drama in 2016. The plot is full of ups and downs, suspenseful, and all kinds of gods unfold.

Many people said that the more they saw the back, the more they couldn't understand it. In fact, this is normal, because the Korean dramas written by Song Jae-jeong have always had this problem. The more contradictory the explanations are, the same is true in "Renxian", "Nine Circumstances", and "W".

Here I am only here to analyze and speculate the setting system of "W" according to the plot for your reference. As for what the world of W is like, naturally everyone has their own ideas. It is estimated that the screenwriter did not do it himself. clear.

Part 1: World setting

From the world view of the entire W, it can be concluded that the whole world is divided into three levels, which can be divided into two dimensions: high and low. The high-dimensional world has a way to change the low-dimensional world. The low-dimensional world cannot change the high-dimensional world, but it has a way to change the same-level dimensional world.

The highest-level dimensional world is not mentioned in the plot, but because there are too many unexplained places in the plot, it can be assumed that there is a higher-dimensional world or a supreme existence above the real world in the plot. All comic worlds Things that cannot be explained clearly in the real world are caused by the interference of the higher dimensional world. For example: why the manga plot is generated by itself, why the world channel in the shape of the display is generated, etc. In fact, if you taste the plot carefully, you can deduce that the highest-dimensional world is the world of TV drama audiences, that is, our own world, or the world of screenwriters. All the reasons that indicate "unknown reason" in the following text can be understood as the reasons of the screenwriter. Does it sound like a rant? Actually it was.

The second is the real world, that is, the world in which the heroine, the writer lives, and the world in which comics are produced. The real world and the manga world are actually the same dimensional world, which can also be said to be a parallel world. It's just that the real world has produced a special comic (for unknown reasons, you know), which has spawned the entire comic world.

As for the world of comics, it is a real world. This world should be a parallel world derived from the real world at a certain point in time, to be precise, the moment when W comics was upgraded to a high-dimensional existence. Call it the "comic world". This world will be completely interfered by W comics (note: not the writer), and even the effect of time and space stagnation or reversal can be achieved. However, as a real world, it operates according to the same rules as the real world where the comics cannot interfere. It can be seen from Jiang Zhe's global business trip in the comic world, even if it is not shown in the comics. The world is also real. So when the manga really ends, the world doesn't stand still or just disappear forever.

Why is the manga world equal to the real world? This is because real-world comic writers cannot fully control the comic world, and even Writer Wu doesn't understand why his comics evolve into a real world (for unknown reasons). When the manga hero Jiang Zhe came to the real world, the content of the comics also began to involve the situation in the real world. All of these can be analyzed that the comic world and the real world are on the same level, so it is possible to cross each other.

Part 2: Setting of special things

First, let's analyze "W Comics". W comics are not equal to the comic world. This comic is a virtual thing with high-dimensional attributes, and its dimensional level is higher than the real world and the comic world. , because it contains the content of both worlds, even if the comic world stagnated, the comic itself will not pause. Although this comic was drawn by writer Wu, the real owner is an unknown high-dimensional existence. Therefore, Writer Wu can actually only draw the content of the comics within the "licensed" scope, and the unlicensed content will be directly changed by himself. The author himself cannot make changes to the finalized comics that have been approved. Even if writer Wu doesn't draw new comics, the comics are drawn by themselves and sent to distributors or uploaded to the web by themselves.

Next, let's analyze the "drawing board", which is also an object endowed with high-dimensional attributes. Its function is to change the world of comics by compiling W comics within the scope of permission. The users of its high-dimensional function are limited to Writer Wu and Wu Yanzhu, but as long as they have already drawn the content, others can also use it, such as Han Zhehao in the later plot. Although W comics have real-world content, no one in the show has thought or tried to change the real world, so it can be assumed that this drawing board can only change the comics world, but it can be changed by bringing people or things in the real world. The way of entering the world of comics, indirectly changing people or things in the real world, such as resurrecting the heroine.

In addition, the drawing board can be essentially copied, such as copying the drawing board with the drawing board, and the copied drawing board also has high-dimensional attributes. This also explains why the real murderer swallowed Writer Wu, because when Writer Wu gave his face to the real murderer, he actually copied a self with the same soul, but with different memories, so it can be said that the real murderer is the real murderer It is the writer Wu himself. The real murderer made the same souls fuse together through some unknown method, and his own memory was the dominance, which caused Writer Wu to become a soulless puppet. Fierce orders to do things, this belongs to unknown reasons.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the drawing board is the only known medium of spatial access, and the visual effect is a screen. The space channel is two-way, but only people in the comic world can see and use it. The channel is divided into two types: small channel and large channel. There should be little difference in function. The reason is unknown, perhaps to prompt the male protagonist to enter the passage.

The third part: The character's identity and ability are set as

"supreme existence". The upper-level high-dimensional existence that can be inferred behind the plot and can interfere with the W world to the greatest extent can be considered to be the screenwriter himself. She endows comics and drawing boards with high-dimensional properties. She monitors the entire drawing process of the comics, and has the highest right to revise and make decisions over the entire comics world, and will directly intervene when she finds inappropriate places in the comics. There are currently three known interference methods: immediate modification, post-event modification, and opening the space-time channel.
Modifications on-the-fly would make the world of comics temporarily stand still in time and space, such as the truck crash at the end of the second episode. Because it can be seen from the later plot that Jiang Zhe obviously does not have the ability to stagnate the world. As for the other two time-space stagnations, it is not caused by Jiang Zhe, and they obviously belong to the real-time modification category.
The way of post-mortem revision is similar to the reversal of time and space, such as Jiang Zhe's suicide on the Han River Bridge at the beginning of the comics. This has already happened, but has been modified. This incident is also not Jiang Zhe's self-help behavior, because Jiang Zhe does not remember. But it really happened, because Jiang Zhe would dream.
Opening the space channel uses the drawing board screen as the medium to directly connect the two parallel worlds. As for why the first episode did not choose to modify but chose to open the space channel, the reason is also unknown. It can only be speculated that the supreme existence is to introduce the heroine Wu Yanzhu into the world of comics.
In addition to interfering with comics, the Supreme Being can also draw comics by themselves when the comics are not being drawn, and send them to publishers or upload them to the Internet. It also prevents others from changing the final comics they approve of.

"Real-world residents", ordinary people living in the real world, have the ability to be invulnerable to death in the comic world. Real-world inhabitants are not affected by changes in their time flow in the comic world, and can still move freely even when the comic world is stagnant.

"W Comic Maker", i.e. Writer. Only Wu Yeon-joo's father and daughter are known so far. Writers have the right to use the high-dimensional functions of the drawing board, and can modify W comics to some extent, and the authority is second only to the existence of high-dimensional.

"W comic debut character", a character who appears in W comics and has a certain role. Most of the characters from the comics world in the plot belong to this category. Manga characters have the ability to transfer other "manga characters" between the real world and the manga world by will, including transferring themselves. However, having this ability does not mean that you can use this ability casually. At present, only Jiang Zhe and the real murderer in the later stages of the plot are known to use this ability independently. Others, including the heroine, only occasionally use this ability subconsciously. This ability cannot be used during the final episode of the manga.

"W comic protagonist", that is, the protagonist. The currently known protagonists are Jiang Zhe, Wu Yanzhu, Yin Zhaoxi (only in the early stage), the real murderer, and Wu Writer (because he is one with the real murderer, so he will be automatically upgraded to the protagonist in the later stage) Five people . If the inhabitants of the real world become the protagonists of the comics, they will lose the ability to survive in the comics world. In addition, the protagonist must perform his comic setting duties, otherwise he will be directly erased by the "supreme existence". Yin Zhaoxi did not disappear later not because she found a new purpose in life, but because she lost her identity as a heroine.

"Awakened", among the characters born in the comic world due to the interference of W comics, those who know or largely doubt the truth of the comic world. After becoming an Awakener, it will be relatively easy to use the summon transfer ability, and it will be difficult to be summoned and transferred by other comic characters. In addition, the Awakened has the ability to move freely under the stagnation of time and space in the comic world.

"Phaseless", that is, the real murderer at the beginning, is just a person who exists but has no real identity. It is characterized by no face, and when he speaks, subtitles are formed around the object. It has the ability to appear and disappear at any time anywhere in the same world, and it also has the ability to make phone calls with characters from the comics world in the real world. After the real murderer obtains his true identity, he will automatically lose the attributes of a phaseless person. Writer Wu in the puppet state can only be regarded as a half phaseless person, with his own characteristics but no ability.

"Two are the soul community of the world", that is, the real murderer who has a real identity, because he shares the same soul with Writer Wu, he has the ability to temporarily fuse the same soul and control another individual who has lost his soul. And it also has the ability to open the space channel at any time and talk to another world through the channel.

The fourth part: The rules set

the way for the real world to enter the comic world. There are three known ways:
1. Entering through the space channel. For example, in the first episode, Wu Writer and Wu Yanzhu were successively pulled into the comic world by Jiang Zhe through the space channel.
2. Be summoned by the characters (including yourself) in the comics. Generally speaking, when I summon myself into the world of comics, I mostly enter it seamlessly through the connection points of the real world, and I don't even know it. For example, when Wu Yanzhu entered the comic world for the second time, she summoned herself into it because she strongly wanted to save Jiang Zhe. If you are summoned by other comic characters, you are likely to appear directly beside the summoner or at a designated place.
3. Forcibly dragged in. For example, when W comics ended for the first time, Jiang Zhe jumped into the river and returned directly to the comic world. Or at the beginning of the final episode, all the protagonists of the manga are forcibly dragged in, and cannot leave until the end of the final episode.

There are three known ways for the comic world to enter the real world:
1. Enter through the space channel.
2. When the manga appears to be continued or ends, the characters in the real world or the characters who entered the manga world by "summoning" from the real world will automatically return to the real world. This explains why Jiang Zhe did not automatically return to the real world at the end of the final episode, because he was forced into it.
3. Be summoned by the characters (including yourself) in the comics. For example, Wu Yanzhu recalled herself many times after Jiang Zhe's "big dream", but she used it unconsciously. Only Jiang Zhe is the only one who really masters this skill.

Finally, let's talk about the rules of item transfer between the two worlds. Real-world items can be brought directly into the comic world, and vice versa. When entering another world, the clothes on the body and the items in the hands are unchanged. One of the exceptions is that after Wu Yanzhu rescued Jiang Zhe, she wore the prison uniform when she returned to the prison, but from the later plot, it can be seen that Wu Yanzhu fell asleep while painting and returned directly to the prison. And because Wu Yanzhu didn't have the ability to summon herself into the world of comics, it was unlikely that she would be ready in her prison uniform in advance. Therefore, it can only be classified as unexplained.
In addition, when the middle of the W comic ended unexpectedly, the guns and bullets that Jiang Zhe brought from the comic world disappeared. But after the end of the comic, the copied drawing board disappeared immediately, and the ring on the heroine's hand disappeared after a long time. The reason for this is also unknown.
