Forest of Secrets 2 ep. 2 = I’ll share my thoughts in the comment below because they’ll be spoilery, just in case any Beanies come across who haven’t watched it yet. :3

    I love the pacing so far. It’s slow but feels jampacked with information. At the end of this episode, I finally understood this whole turf war between the prosecution and the police. Yesterday, I was just confused as to why it matters who closes what cases. Lols. I’m excited to see what’s in store for our duo next but also willing to wait and take the time to let the details sink in, which is good since live watching can be a pain sometimes. :3
    And hooray for Lee Yeon-jae and Seo Dong-jae being back on my screen! I want to see more of LYJ’s handling of the business and all the associated ~drama~. SDJ cracked me up when he was trying to see his case to Prosecutor Won. Still the same – wanting to maneuver his way up to the top via any path possible. And still having Shi-mok standing in his way!
    Talking about Shi-mok, it makes my heart sad to see him so alone and without a place to stay. It makes sense that his apartment in Seoul is still being leased out, but like can he crash at Yeo-jin’s place??? I hope we get to explore his personal hurdles regarding his family and relationships (be it friendships or romantic partnerships). I love the changes in his demeanor towards Yeo-jin from season 1 to now, especially the dinner scene. He apologized for leaving before they could even eat, and his awkward backing out/tumbling out of the restaurant! Side note: can he ever eat in peace?! Poor guy, every time we see him with food/snacks, he gets an important phone call to meet unpleasant people.

      Don’t you feel like it’s too slow? I checked S1 again, and the first two eps had more things going.

      I’m just thankful we get to see our leads in one scene this week. 😥

        No, the slower pacing doesn’t bother me. I wonder if I’m just too optimistic about this season, but I like what I see so far. If this season turns out to be a slow-paced and more character-driven, I’d still be down for it.

          Same with me too! I had to paused while watching last season because I couldn’t process the informations but this time it’s a lot easier to process things (but we’re still in ep 2 so who knows??)
