1"Oh Seong Moo has Disappeared!"July 20, 2016 (2016-07-20)
Oh Yeon-joo learns from her friend and father's assistant, Park Soo-bong (Lee Si-eon) that her father has disappeared while drawing the last issue of W, in which the webtoon's protagonist, Kang Cheol, is supposed to die. The last drawing on his graphics tablet shows Cheol bloodied and unconscious on a roof. As Yeon-joo investigates, she is pulled through the tablet and into the webtoon world. She manages to save Cheol, before noticing the Korean words for "To Be Continued" appear in the air, sending her back. A new episode of W is mysteriously uploaded, which depicts all of Yeon-joo's actions, including a full-page spread of her as a character. She theorizes that the webtoon contains an actual alternate universe. Later, Kang Cheol considers Yeon-joo to be the key to his life.

She calls her father, realizing that he too knows the webtoon is alive. She is sucked back into the webtoon, successfully preventing a nurse from administering potassium to Cheol. Two months pass in an instant, and Cheol is now healthy. To get back to the real world, Yeon-joo surprises him with a kiss. Seong-moo, angered that his daughter's adventures had uploaded themselves, dismisses his team to end W in secret. He draws a truck to kill Kang Cheol, but the webtoon rejects this ending, with Cheol surviving.

Yeon-joo investigates her father's files and discovers that W started drawing on its own during her father's miserable times. Depressed, he tries to end the webtoon by having Cheol commit suicide, but the drawing changes to Cheol hanging on. Seong-moo is inspired to continue the webtoon until he is famous, but repeated rewrites caused him to think Cheol is a monster. Yeon-joo is dragged back to the webtoon world, where Kang Cheol interrogates her at gunpoint.

Now knowing the truth, time in the webtoon stops, and Cheol steps through a portal into the real world.

6"The End"August 4, 2016 (2016-08-04)
As Seong-moo recovers, Kang Cheol commits suicide, leaving a suicide note with Yeon-joo. His actions get uploaded as the last issue of W, since Seong-moo decides to retire to New Zealand.

She is almost shot but is sent back to Cheol's car. While the murderer teleports to Seong-moo, still en route to New Zealand, Cheol notices So-hee fading away, which he realizes is due to her significance as a character fading. In order to set things right, Cheol sends Yeon-joo back to her world, where she redraws all the previous events as a dream Cheol had.
9"Make It a Happy Ending"August 18, 2016 (2016-08-18)
Seong-moo returns to Korea and decides to write a happy ending for W. He gives the murder his face and names him Han Sang-hoon. After the latter is caught, Prosecutor Han Cheol-ho (Park Won-sang) - who wished to gain political power by presiding over Cheol's case, believing him to be the one who killed his family - was to kill Sang-hoon. However, Sang-hoon causes a shooting at a TV station, so Yeon-joo is sent back to the webtoon world to treat the victims. She meets Kang Cheol, who no longer recognizes her.

Everyone thinks Cheol is dead, except for his bodyguard Seo Do-yoon (Lee Tae-hwan), who knows the former's location.

Cheol and Yeon-joo step back into the real world, where they restart their relationship.

Seong-moo grieves over the fact that he cannot draw his daughter back to life, so Cheol goes to the webtoon world to retrieve the copy. He is caught by Cheol-ho, who had discovered that the tablet can bring any drawing to life when the Enter key is pressed on a connected computer, and can erase things by pressing Delete (as in the Mac equivalent to Backspace). Despite being tortured, Cheol lures Cheol-ho to Seong-moo's location to deliver the tablet to him.

In the webtoon's last issue, a year has passed since it left off; Kang Cheol is sentenced to death but he escapes, thanks to Seong-moo who was also dragged inside. Cheol learns that Seong-moo has been a mental patient due to his adopting Sang-hoon's villainous personality and will cease to exist if he does not do evil. With the police about to arrest Seong-moo and Do-yoon kidnapped, Cheol and Yeon-joo realize that Yeon-joo will lose either Cheol or her father.
