I tried 4 times to finish Secret Forest.
Will I finish before S2?
My eyes just keep leaving the screen, involuntarily. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I can understand this. I have felt the same way about some of the programs that others have thought were so great.

    It was the 1st in my young kdrama watching that was the exception and not the norm. A true adult drama and with a true, blue veteran cast and not a weak actor, plot or dialogue in the bunch. I call shows like this slow burns before the ‘action’ we are use to is normally not dialogue driven.

    I would think that if it was not for this show and the success it would not have lead to shows like My Ahjussi, which is along the same path.

    Or it could just be that you don’t like it and that is cool as well :).

      I like slow burns for the most part. I can definitely watch this if I understand the language by listening. Subtitles, or the dialogue in print, makes me sleepy though. Can’t explain it. Maybe I’m just that bad of a reader.😅

      Doesn’t help that the lead is emotionless by design.

        I confess that had it not been for YJM and LJH I would have dropped it too. The number of flashbacks we got to the same murder scene was exhausting at first and boring later. But those two made the show worth-while for me.

    ha ha.. i was bored of it too..
    slightly over rated.. just watch middle episodes.. i am sure you will figure out who is truly a bad guy and a good guy behind the scenes by the time you enter double digits

    I was that way too. Everybody was raving about it so I wanted to finish but it was a struggle.
