Forest: Episodes 25-28 Open Thread

77 March 15, 2020March 16, 2020

by missvictrix

The big reveals we’ve been waiting for are here — all of them. And while they don’t exactly inspire all of the awe they’re intended to, at least we’ve got the requisite backstory, breakups, and baddies before this drama comes to a close.

EPISODES 25-28 WEECAP

So, here we are in our penultimate week, trying to pull our ragged plot together. I’m starting to feel sorry for this drama. While everything is passable on paper, it’s practically unwatchable in drama form. It might have worked under better storytelling conditions, but here, everything is just poorly handled, dragged out, and badly paced (need I go on?), so it loses all the bang it’s been saving up for.

Speaking of things getting dragged out, we found out the mountain water was highly toxic what feels like ages ago… but nothing developed on this front for the longest time — until San-hyuk finally hears about it too. You’d like to think all these environmental tests would be part of the development process, but not so. When he finally finds out, that’s when the plot starts to move (for better or worse).

But first, even though we’re supposed to believe that it’s gonna hit the fan soon, there’s time in the plot for a dopey double date with our couples, and some weird foreshadowing with the so-called “goblin bird” and the myth that when that bird cries, a goblin fire starts on the nearby mountain. I love foreshadowing, but it has to mean something to work.

Anyway, there’s a ton of tangents in this week’s episodes before the onslaught of reveals — things like Young-jae’s father’s retirement, the Team Leader’s alcoholism, Young-jae’s wrongful imprisonment and release, the trauma center trap, the random gas leak accident that further helps to jog San-hyuk’s memory, and more.

There was also some confusing editing (more than usual) in between this week’s episodes. At the end of Episode 26, Young-jae is arrested while simultaneously, San-hyuk is attacked by a backhoe of doom (yes, I just wrote that) and thrust into a chemical puddle. However, at the start of the following episode, he’s at the police station with her, and we’re left to wonder when/where in the timeline that actually occurred.

In fact, this might just sum up a chunk of this show’s problems: the sad editing and pacing (and even storytelling) keep things happening in a sequence and flow that has no continuity and does the drama no favors. But I digress.

To his credit, San-hyuk quickly realizes it’s all a trap to cover up the pollution of the mountain — and the precious metals within. The corporate shenanigans continue, but San-hyuk learns about the highly pollutive mining method that was used 25 years ago, around the time of the fire, and that the precious metals are why the mountain has been so “protected.” He’s got a lot to uncover and it’s supposed to be very exciting and all — but I don’t understand where San-hyuk is coming from at all at this point.

I thought he was giving up on the development project for his forest love, but he’s clearly more invested than ever. By the end of this week’s episodes, he’s campaigning for mining rights in addition to all the land he’s just taken over. But then he takes Young-jae for a piggyback into a pretty fast-moving mountain river to help her to get over her water trauma. Nothing about this seems wise, plausible — or romantic. In fact, if this show were a Thomas Hardy novel, they would have walked into the rapids and drowned and it would all be over by now. But here we are in dramaland, where this kind of scene only exists as a goodbye premonition.

But wait, it’s not goodbye yet. We need some broken hearts first. It takes the idiot doctor and some left behind paperwork (and 14 hours of show) for Young-jae to realize that San-hyuk isn’t all he’s cracked up to be. However, he buys her Song-yi’s sparkly pumps from You From Another Star and asks her to come back to Seoul with him.

Of course, they break up instead, and him being deceitful, not who he said he was, and purposefully hiding the Miryeong’s secrets to make money, are a pretty good reason for Young-jae to be heartbroken. I believe they’re sad, I just don’t feel sad myself.

San-hyuk might be heartbroken, but he’s got shiz to do, and he goes to see Papa Choi, who he’s been bribing like crazy. The scene goes bad fast, and ends with San-hyuk getting clocked on the head by Choi with a 2×4. As we know, head injury is the fastest way to restore repressed memories — and the more blood and trauma, the better the drama.

San-hyuk has an extended flashback of his family drama, and we see him and his little sister getting abandoned by their mother (the little boy here acted way better than any adult in this drama so far — just saying). While little heartbroken San-hyuk is in the woods burning family photos, he’s suddenly engulfed in a huge fire, and then accosted by Choi. Choi immediately blames him for the fire even though the dude is running away from the fire with a gas canister (lol).

Then we learn about the death of San-hyuk’s little sister, and The Three Baddies — the two guys from Taesung and Choi, all in cahoots from the dawn of this story. And there you have it. Though many mysteries have been solved here, many remain — the biggest one for me being why in the world Papa Choi holds the phone against his eyebrow, not his ear.

Thanks @missvictrix - you have worked hard to recap this show and try in vain to make any sense out of it. You worked hard - thank you!!
I'll add my two cents - I too have wondered why he doesn't hold the phone to his ear - maybe he doesn't clean his ears well and hates to see all that gunk on the screen? Or else he's afraid of the microwaves coming from the phone.
Also - did anyone notice that we had a clam cameo in these last episodes? When they were in the stream looking for rocks, there was a weird shot up from the water at them. All I could think was
The clams! The clams are back!!!!!
and then someone might have gotten a clam bite on their toe or something...
will now sit back and wait for all the other oppa fans to weigh in.
Again, thanks for being strong and re-wee capping this show.

I think the clams slunk back without the camera crew knowing. They may be silent, but they're not dumb. Unlike the humans in this show. The clams came - clam, came, kinda rhymes - to deliver a message: HE WHO PIGGYBACKS ON A FAST-FLOWING RIVER IS DERANGED.

I came here to not make a comment so I will not make it. I think everyone's still reeling from Oppa and all the holes he keeps either falling into and/or filling. This show is so full of weird visual double entendres, I can't work out if it's deliberate or not. But since I'm not even watching but just laughing my head off at @missvictrix hilarious and heroic recaps I'll leave it at that.

I hope the Clams make their move soon before the mountain is overrun by Clam Zombies. It's a matter of Clam survival at this point. Not because of the rampaging zombies. From boredom.

Bioremediation- the Clams will be the ultimate saviors of the Forest by sucking all the toxic chemicals up into their flesh and shells. Becoming inedible, they will flourish in great numbers. Unfortunately, they will become Zombie Clams from absorbing all that toxicity.

The real question is whether they end up with strange super powers. For examples, some clams can shoot jets of water. Will we see super clams shooting a supersonic jet of water as they go shooting through the sky, or better through our villains’ plans? Or will their tongues become as sharp and hard and fast as the spear thrust of a Spartan?

So, our hero falls into a toxic chemical spill. If this was a Hollywood drama, he would wake up with some superpower, and next thing you know, he would be zipping around in a colorful skin tight unitard doing heroic things.

This being, a kdrama, what super-feature will our hero get? And will it have anything to do with the so called plot?

What if Oppa decides to go for a more cutesy image? The skin tight unitard sounds sexy - can't help but imagine Oppa shimmying across the dark skies in lurid orange and pink leopard-like stripes. But wouldn't it be sweet if Vibrator Oppa takes to the skies in that fluffy and very long white towel we saw a hundred years ago?He could make a suit out of it...like a dress or a skirt, or something.

By the way, @missvictrix, I have to disagree with callIng the backhoe the backhoe of doom. Surely, he is no more than a Backhoe of Harmful Intent? I mean our hero stood there dumbstruck like any candy or deer in the headlights of dear old ToD, but what happened? Not even a decent whack - our hero just slipped down a hill. I think the appellation Doom has yet to be earned.

Giggled so hard at the weecap. @missvictrix deserves an award for the hell she's putting herself through week after week. I've been FFing this drama in a fog this whole time - it feels like an eternity of numbness. It's ending!!!!! Yay!!!!

This week, the bizarre gets even more bizarre.

Oppa to Dr. YJ's dad, over dinner: SHE COOKS ME WELL Hm. Are you man or meat, Oppa?

Oppa reads a page from a Harlequin romance. Aloud. HE PUSHES HIS HAND INTO HER BLOUSE, AND ELAINE STARTS TO MOAN. Dr. YJ squirms. Magnificently, of course. I clamp my jaw hard at her aw-stop-teasing-me-I'm-so-cute-so-innocent face. And...next scene. What was that? Could be the most random scene I've ever seen in a drama.

Two couples on the lawn. Grownass woman sticks out her tongue at ex enemy the metre maid. Wow.
They drink beer till night falls.
A bird is calling. I repeat, a bird is calling. Woo woo. Woo woo.
Oppa says cleverly, IT'S A GOBLIN BIRD.
His bf (Oppa has a gay thing going on with him at work) says: IT LIVES DEEP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
WHEN A GOBLIN BIRD CRIES, A FIRE STARTS IN THE MOUNTAINS. A GOBLIN FIRE.
WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY FATHER SAID TO NEVER GO OUTSIDE WHEN THERE'S A GOBLIN FIRE.
Oppa goes all still and mutters, Goblin fire.
Oppa stares at the moon.
Everyone stares at the moon.
I stare at the moon.
We stare at the moon for like five beats.
Is that the sihloutte of a goblin bird in the moon? You know, like the bat in Batman.
Scene changes. Well. Guess I'll never know.

Dr. YJ is in prison for doing something. No idea what. Since I FF.
She says to Oppa when he comes visit, unscathed despite his brush with the Hoe of Doom, I'M ON VACATION. I'M IN A HOTEL THAT LOOKS LIKE A PRISON.
She says this with a silly smile on her face, looking around the four walls. What???? I can't even.

A grownass woman hops and skips and jumps into Oppa's arms.
Oppa: I WANT TO TAKE A WALK WITH YOU.
Me: NOOOOOO.
Oppa: I WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO YOU.
Me: In the forest? You're such a beast, Oppa!

They're in the stream.
I can't believe my eyes.
OPPA IS PIGGYBACKING HER IN THE FREAKING STREAM. Wait. Isn't it poisoned or something? Hey, Oppa, get out. Your skin's gonna start peeling off soon. You've just been dunked in chemical waste. Are you crazy, Oppa?

Oppa: SAY, "BALL".
She (cutely): BALL.
Oppa: LEAF.
She: LEAF.

And he's standing and talking about ball and leaf and float and crap and she's on his back.
Oppa starts wading into the water.
Deeper and deeper.
You crazy, Oppa?
Oppa: YOU WANT TO STOP?
She: NO. I WANT TO GO DEEPER
First, her boobs. Now, her ass.
This is too much, Oppal
She: STOP. THAT'S ENOUGH...FOR TODAY.
Oppa: OKAY. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

Seriously, what was that?

Oppa and Dr. YJ in her room.

Oppa: DID SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN?
Duh. Can't you see her face, Oppa? Seriously, you're so dense sometimes, Oppa. But hey, I still love you. Mwah.
She: YOU'RE FAITHFUL TO THE DESIRES THAT YOUR...

Oppa is almost in tears. Don't cry now, Oppa. Or I will smack your head with them sparkly shoes. However did you guess her shoe size, Oppa? Good thing you're breaking up. Or you'll be buying her bras and stuff next.

Oppa: YJ, COULD YOU FIX YOUR EYES ON ME? (Because she can't stop staring at his vibrator parts)

They break up.
Oppa is wheeling his luggage bag over the grass in the night.
I am laughing so hard. It's so funny because he wheels it SILENTLY very, very long, very, very doggedly, all the way to the car. Hahahahaha.

Goblin bird. One. Invisible. Somewhere out there.
Rabbit. One. Unseen. In a song. @msrabbit wants everyone to know that Oppa is actually singing about her twin.

I had not thought of that angle- Surrealism comes to Kdramaland through the scrip for FOREST. As if Salvador Dali had been reincarnated as a Kdrama writer. In which case a truly realistic romance between people who are clearly well suited to each other would indeed be clearly out of place.

And for this weeks physically impossible event: Our hero is apparently intentionally hit by a big backhoe- and gets nothing more than bruises?

Do the writers have any idea just how powerful a backhoe is? Or hero should be dead with a broken back at this point- or at least have broken bones if it was just a glancing blow.

Why is there a backhoe there in the first place? Like it could do something in secret- while making noise that in that kind of country can be heard for miles?

Am I asking too many questions here? I am all for suspending disbelief- but give me a reason for doing it.

Exactly. One where a backhoe can sneak up on our hero in the middle of a deadly quiet forest. Clearly in this universe, the physics of sound isn’t what we’re used to. Which may explain all the screeching by our FL. She isn’t in that universe.
