A still image hints Lee Jong Suk's Kang Chul would be marrying Oh Sung-Moo's (Kim Eui-Sung) daughter, Oh Yeon-Joo (Han Hyo-Joo), in MBC's "W - Two Worlds."
Speculations are rife that Kang Chul and Oh Yeon Joo would get married in the upcoming episodes of the on-going fantasy drama. Recently, the drama buffs flocked to social media, claiming that show producers foreshadowed the marriage of the lead characters through a newspaper article with a headline, "J&Global's total market value is 1.8 trillion won."
The said newspaper shortly appeared amid "W's" episode 5, which aired on Aug. 3 with a national TV rating of 14.3 percent. According to the audience's statement, as cited by The Kpop Herald, a line from the corresponding article reads, "Oh Yeon Joo, who was a prime suspect for Kang's murder accident, turned out to be his wife."
"It has been revealed that the strongest suspect in the J&Global's representative Kang Chul's attempted murder case, Ms. Oh Yeon Joo, is actually the wife of representative Kang," the article reads. "Ms. Oh met Kang Chul in America last May and the two dated for six months before getting married."
According to the police investigations, Oh Yeon Joo ran from the site during the time of Kang Chul's assault since it was such an intense situation, enough for her to consider divorce. The article added, "Ms. Oh went with armed guards to representative Kang's prime hotel penthouse."
Reinforcing the commenters' assumption, the sneak peek of "W's" episode 7 gave fans a scene where Kang Chul and Oh Yeon Joo discussed marriage. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the said claims are yet to be confirmed.
Helmed by PD Jung Dae-Yoon, "W" follows a unique romance between a young chaebol, Kang Chul, who exist in the webtoon world and Oh Yeon Joo, a surgeon in the real world.
"It's the story of a man and a woman who discover their reason for existence while living in different dimensions in Seoul in 2016," Koogle TV quoted director Jung Dae-Yoon as saying during the drama's press conference. "There's suspense, horror, comedy and romance."
MBC's "W" premiered on July 20 with a national TV rating of 10.4 percent. Since then, the 16-episode drama continues surging in the ratings battle, surpassing KBS 2TV's "Uncontrollably Fond," which airs on the same timeslot.
