Forest of Secrets S2 Ep.11 – some thoughts on today’s episode and more generally spanning both seasons as a whole in the comment below. Maybe contains spoilers~

    Although there are a lot of questions, I feel like things are coming together more and more. There are a lot of possibilities and theories floating out there, and I’m not really subscribing to any one in particular since we know the drama is great at pulling the rug under our feet at moment’s notice. I am more incline to think that Seo Dong-jae is dead at this point, which is honestly making me feel so sad. Anyway, there’s still hope yet!

    This season, we see Yeo-jin and Shi-mok’s partnership being tested via the investigative authority council/fight and Dong-jae’s kidnapping case. I really enjoy watching that unfold, especially in today’s episode. Both themselves and the world around them changed so much since we saw them last in season 1, and I really like that the show doesn’t shy away from giving us a different evolution of our beloved characters. Despite all of that, Yeo-jin and Shi-mok still come together and help each other out because ultimately, they both strive for the same goal. I’m excited to see where they will end up, personally and professionally. I’m just going to throw some ~fun~ possibilities out there – maybe they both go on a vacation somewhere beautiful and Shi-mok gets to finally enjoy a full meal with Yeo-jin without interruptions. Or they say goodbye to their government jobs and open their own private investigation office/law firm and continue to kick asses. Basically, I want our adorable duo to live their best lives! Because they have been through so much.

    I really want to write more about the character developments between season 1 and 2, but that has to wait until this season ends so we get the complete story arc.

    While I know that comparing the structure between the two seasons is a flawed approach, since any two scripts do not have to have the same narrative flow, I’m still dreaded the episode 13 mark. I hope we’re not stuck with a huge cliff-hanger tomorrow. ALSO, how is it that we only have 5 episodes left? (I’m excited to see Cho Seung-woo’s new drama at some point after FoS ends, but it won’t be the same, and now I’m sad again. Sigh.)
