I will be watching as Forest of Secrets is my most favourite drama and Dong Jae is what makes FoS ticks (along with Cho Seung Woo and Bae Doo Na).

I forgot this was coming, YEAH!!!!!!

Even if I don't watch this I will just be happy to see his face in recaps or fanwall screen captures! 🤩🤩

Lee Jun Hyuk is very charming and I'm looking forward to his other drama coming up, but I'm a little surprised they made this spinoff. The charm of weaselly Dong Jae on a beautifully written complex show like Stranger was because he was juxtaposed with the more righteous/good Yeo Jin and Shi Mok. That made his weaselliness very entertaining in smaller doses, but a full 10 episodes with him as the protagonist seems like a lot to tolerate.

I'm so looking forward to this - I can't help myself... I love that weasel.

Fingers crossed Lee Jun-hyuk can carry the series without the rest of our favourite characters around him.

I would have prefered a third season of Forest of Secrets but why not.

I can understand why he's not completely good yet, the only time he did well his job, he ended in a slope during days.

WEASEL KING!

I can't believe they made a drama about him ♥

Hmm not sure about the tone and plot, but I gotta give this a try for Lee Jun Hyuk!

The wait for this was soo long. This is one long overdue project that should have seen the lights of screens long before now.

October 10th saved.

Our favorite weasel is back!!!
This is a must watch for me. 😉😃

Eee, so happy this is finally happening! Will be waiting for 10 Oct.

Yay for morally grey characters ! the ambiguous Dong Jae is great in Stranger, and I hope that this spin off will sustain the quality of the original serie.

Weasel is back!!! Interesting that someone thought it a good idea to have a drama based on a somewhat unpleasant character. But Lee Jun-hyuk shone brightly in FoS 1 and 2.

Now, will we get a cameo of Shi-mok and Yun-jin?

I feel like I've been through so much since the first announcement of this drama in the works and am a different person now haha. Yes it's been that long. Well, everyone is surprised that a spin off for a "weasel" character actually came to fruition. And my theory is that, well, I guess the screenwriter must have fallen in love with him just as I did! I would not be surprised at all. I mean, not only did she decide not to kill off his character mid-drama as originally planned, but she created a whole new drama just for him. Guys, screenwriters are made of flesh like you and I - that's all I'm saying... I actually have a theory, just a guess, that instead of his character dying, Shin Hye-sun's character died in his place. Could it have been possible? Please correct me if wrong. It's sad that we won't be seeing all the other characters from Stranger. The original dynamics were so enjoyable to watch between the two leads and weasel and Shin-Hye sun's characters. But this is almost unprecedented for a screenwriter to fall in love with a side character haha (once again just my own fantasy conjectures)

Not sure how I feel about this being the spinoff project to Secret Forest, possibly the most morally clear-eyed and urgent dramas Ive ever seen. And Lee Dong-jae is a despicable slimeball who's great in small doses. But Lee Joon-hyuk clearly loves playing him and is stupidly good at it, so maybe, just for him, I'll watch some episodes. It looks like there'll be little overlap between it & the main series, which is likely for the best.
