"Stranger"? Really, tvN? Forest of Secrets is a weird name, but at least it has some character. Or something. Stranger is so blah as a title. Fire whoever is in charge of your crappy English titles, tvN.
Well, I doubt anyone here has seen it to be sure, but I think it's safe to say yes. It was screened as a movie version at several film festivals since the 2-ep version aired, so I'd guess it's the same version as the one from the film festivals.
The story is far more introspective than the synopsis indicates. The sad beginning does lead to a resolution and…
Ending = Life goes on?
Personally, I'm just glad they didn't have the main character come to some realization and suddenly grieve, because that's not what she would do. I was kind of offended on her behalf when the other girl basically told her to cry.
Another case of not everyone can understand everyone else, all the time, but we have to keep trying (or dancing in this case, I guess)
Invincible Lee Pyung Kang is on both dramafever and viki, and so it ought to be just about anywhere, I would think. As for if it's worth watching...I would categorize it as merely okay. I did make it through, but it was a bit of a struggle. Still, the setting was different from the norm, and I usually liked the episode opening bits, even if the rest of the ep was boring, haha.
He was amazing in Awl, though. Everything else I've seen him in, I can take or leave both the drama and the performance, but I loved Awl and his character.
Part 1 is up on tvcast! http://tvcast.naver.com/v/1186597 I think I'm in love with the 80's-tastic music…
They also have a facebook page (The United International Fan Clubs of Joo Won) where they've posted the subbed episodes, but I have no idea if the quality is any better there
Like, an edited version with all 4 parts in one? I don't think it exists. All four parts are released now, though, so it's complete as is. Just skip through the credits and "previously on" segments? :)
Also new teaser from Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3O0FUFmSe0
This is a pretty weird drama premise, haha.

This is important to me. Goat....

Good drama special, btw. Yay KBS.
