MBC's new drama "W" featuring Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo written by Song Jae Sung and directed by Jung Dae Yoon is currently increasing its popularity even if it was released only a couple weeks ago.

"We've always kept an eye on Song Jae Sung's projects. When we saw the first script for 'W,' we thought, 'This is it.' Choosing a drama based on the script alone is unusual, but 'W' was a very new, interesting, solid production," the drama department head at MBC, Park Sung Soo said.

"It has themes that the current generation will enjoy and the fact that the script is finished will please audiences," he continued.

Despite the idea of juggling both three-dimensional reality and two-dimensional manwha world, the producing director revealed that he is more focus on portraying the emotions of the character.

"All filming must be undertaken with the intent to maximize emotion," he said.

"Since 'W' is set in a very unusual world, it can be a little awkward. We have to work hard to make sure the audience never loses the characters' feelings," he added.
