Good points- it will have a good first half. It will probably look awesome. FOS PD is a bonus.
Bad points- has the potential to loose steam (again) half way through, and not answer its own questions (again).
*adds it to the Coming Soon aka A Year Away watch list anyway*

I'd rather not root for this until the show happens because *ehrm, IHYV-While You Were Sleeping* but I guess I would like tl give it a try.

I hope it's more of a Circle thriller rather than W overtwisted plot.

This makes me want the FoS writer and the PD for W to work together. Please someone make that happen!

After spending several months in Spain, the title and setting sure has me interested. I never actually made it to the Alhambra so I am looking forward to living vicariously through the characters to witness its beauty.

Honestly, at this point I can just tell myself to not get my hopes up for this writer to fully carry her stories through the second half. I will just enjoy the first part and turn the plot hole-seeing part of my brain off when the time comes.

I'll take the PD and put a hold on the writer, W-Two Worlds was a frustrating let down.

Well I should say I am very HAPPY with this team but I'm also insecure about the prospect of Forest of Secrets 2nd season... I know it's still in talk and nothing's set yet but it better stick with the full team of the first season or don't make it at all... and I hope this new drama doesn't get in the way

Sounds pretty interesting.

IMHO, stories with intricate mythology or world building usually flow better with a tight cast - maybe 2 to 4 characters taking up most of the drama time. The interaction and story logic is much easier to keep up with. (e.g. Goblin, Signal, Circle, Doctor Who)

The "failed" ones usually become too ambitious and try to include everything and everyone into the story. This is rarely manageable from a writing perspective and the mythical/world logic falls apart. ( e.g. W, Manhole, Reunited Worlds)

If they're being ambitious, then it would be best if they based it off a famous book (rather than a manhwa/webtoon) where the author has already thought through the mythos and carefully built up the characters and story. (e.g. Middle Earth, Narnia, most of Jin Yong's books, Harry Potter)

I've realized after watching k-dramas the past few years that it doesn't really matter who the PD is. It can be the most beautifully shot drama, and still be so inconsistent. That was W for me, and I couldn't even finish it. I really liked Nine and QIHM, but I could feel the difference in quality without her co-writer.

The team's credits are enough to get me hyped for this show. Definitely going to be checking it out. Let the castings begin!

I've liked the dramas from Song Jae-jung so far. Out of the 3 mentioned, W was my least fave. But dang, another sci fi thriller??? The plot is intriguing.

A big part depends on the cast, but I'll probably give this drama a shot if I like the leads. I won't have huge expectations or anything though.

AR? Dreamteam? Spain? *buys a comfortable plushie, popcorns, a ton of other snacks.*
I'M READY FOR THIS!

Yessssss...Can we have Lee Jong-suk and Park Shin Hye together again????? Pretty please👼👼

P.S.: I already miss Lee Jong-suk on my screen❤️️

I... I don't know how to feel about this.

Tbh I'd rather have the writer pen a non-medical drama. I'm not worried about who she'd be paired with because I'm confident the drama producers wouldn't choose any schmuck to direct what she wrote. Or, even better, let's have her and the director of FoScollab on another drama together.

I haven't watched this particular writer's other dramas before but I found W to be really disappointing. I don't know why the heroine was written to be so insufferably childish and dumb (despite the fact that she's supposed to be a doctor doing her residence - just because you point out that the character is stupid doesn't make it any better show!) Like, all I want are heroines that are not weirdly infantilized or Candys who have to suffer the whims of their GEENIUS BILLIONAIRE CEO bosses. Is that too much to ask? And let's not forget the head scratcher of an ending for W... Nope. Can't trust this writer right now. Will likely pass.

Eh. This show already sounds way too expensive

I haven't watched Forest of Secrets so I'm not sure what to expect of the pairing. But like what the other beanies mentioned here, I'm wary of the writer's tendency to putter out on the second half of the series.

And this is just an honest opinion but the tentative title sounds a bit pretentious/hipstery. If it's a sci-fi thriller, I humbly think they could come up with a better title.

But W plots was not that good tho. Sure it has a cool concept but the writing did falter after the second half. Having said that, I'll probably still watch it anyway especially.
Ohh... as long as this doesn't effect FOS S2 of course~

Wow, being from the South of Spain myself, I can't help but feel excited. Hopefully they will pick favorites of mine as leads so I can drop by and see them in person, haha!!
I loved W so I am moderately optimistic that I would like the plot. At least I'm sure that the show will look gorgeous. For the ones that never visited, know that it is written in one of the Alhambra towers, that "there is no biggest sorrow in life than being blind in Granada". Aaahh, I know I'm biased about this city 💕😊

I've watched W before and I enjoyed it. I think I'll check this out after I've seen its trailer.
Is Nine worth the shot? I haven't watch kdramas for the past few months & I'm currently looking for watch worthy shows for the xmas break. :-)

Sci-fi action and thriller - but what about zombies?

Whatever she does, she should please plot out an ending way in advance of the drama shooting. I’m not ready to have my heart broken again over another crappy ending. ☹️ It spoiled what would otherwise have been a pretty iconic drama (W) experience.

i like d premise and since its realistic.. resolution automatically will make sense.. this is an easier concept to work with..

W was a tough concept to begin with in the first place..

AI world..
i want a superhuman samurai cheese fest too!!!,,

I, for one, am excited for this writer's next drama! I really enjoyed W despite its flaws. Hopefully this time though she'll recognize that she needs to try to fill in the plot holes. W was a good drama, but could have been one of the most amazing dramas ever if the plot holes had been filled. I'm definitely going to be watching this!

Please cast Lee Joon-gi, I love to see him in a Sci-fi

I'm in! W started out good, but got too convoluted in the end. This writer has produced some solid dramas before. As long as she stays on track and doesn't try to introduce too many elements towards the end, this could be good.

Both are good at intricate plotting and great twists. But Stranger had better characterisation and female characters. So maybe we can enjoy a Song Jae-jung drama where the female lead doesn't spend half her time unconscious hooked up to an IV.

All jokes aside, Stranger and W are two of my favourite dramas ever so I'm super excited by this.

As always with SJJ, interesting premise, but damn W was such a letdown for me. I was so invested in it but everything just went downhill in the latter half and I still have bitter aftertaste even if it's been more than a year already. Nonetheless, I will keep an eye on this one. Excited for casting news!

Won't be watching till it's over and I hear reviews. W was so disappointing, and when I read in an interview this writer say that the ending of the show was not important to her, I knew why. C'mon drama writers, endings make or break your reps.

i like this movie so much

Yay Song Jae-jung! All 3 of her works are my all time favourites. Nine & Queen In-hyun’s Man seemed to spark off the time-travelling trend and 'W' was fun, thrilling and full of originality. Can't wait.

I guess a lot of people are worried about this because of the writing flaws they saw in W. I, for one, am excited because of the beautifully written logic of Queen In Hyun's man :) It's probably the most satisfying time travel drama I've ever seen, plot-wise, so I'm going to put my faith in this project (especially with such a talented PD at the helm - dream team is right!)
