A tape-recorded warning teases thriller Forest of Secrets

by tineybeanie

fs1.jpg

The first teaser for upcoming mystery-thriller drama Forest of Secrets is out, with two more months left to go until its first broadcast. Bae Doo-na (Tunnel, Sense8) and Jo Seung-woo (God’s Gift—14 Days) star as a righteous police investigator and a coldly logical prosecutor who pair up to solve a case about a strange string of murders. From the teaser, it looks like powerful hidden political forces may be involved.

Ominous music builds tension in the background, while a tape recorder with a cassette dated June 2017 plays Bae Doo-na’s voice: “I think it’s a warning not to pry anymore.” A man replies on the tape, “Those who give bribes, and those who take them—I’m going to catch them no matter what.” Then in two brief cuts, we see Jo Seung-woo, whose voiceover says, “The manipulated truth,” and Bae Doo-na, who thinks, “Everyone is a suspect with a motive.”

Have they changed the official English title to 'Stranger'?

 It seems that way. I hate when they change the name of a drama. I wish they will stick with one from the  beginning. I know a drama that has three or four English names and it is not a singular case.

Guns loaded in Forest of Secrets teasers

by Buhdoop

FOSTeaser-14.jpg

We have a few more teasers for mystery-thriller drama Forest of Secrets starring Bae Doo-na (Tunnel, Sense8) and Jo Seung-woo (God’s Gift—14 Days). Even with well over a month to go the production is not stingy in releasing information about the drama, which I can get used to.

In Forest of Secrets Bae Doo-na stars as Han Yeo-jin, who is touted as a warm-hearted and righteous police investigator. Jo Seung-woo plays Hwang Shi-mok, a clinically emotionless and logical prosecutor who is a bit of a lone ranger among his colleagues. The two join forces to solve a mysterious case about a string of murders that reek of widespread corruption inside the prosecutors’ office. The new teasers released are from Episode 0: Stranger.

@larus @meechuttso yeah, what is really the title for the drama? when I search for updates via twitter they use this #secretforest so I'm confused. There are several upcoming dramas with different titles. but I'm more familiar with the the thread titles

 Sometime the production team will change the name of the drama close to the airing or they give a difrent English name than the international viewers are familiar. There are different English names because sometime the Korean title has different interpretations.  From the Dramabeans article, it seams that episode 0  is called "Stranger" (they have a prequel?). But don`t worry. I will mentain the original title of the threads unless everyone else is changing the tiltle. So far, the Forest of Secrets are still the name of the drama.

“Stranger” is a story that focuses on the two leads’ efforts to discover the truth hidden in a murder case. Cho Seung Woo will be playing Hwang Shi Mok, a cold and unfeeling prosecutor who is a loner. Bae Doona plays the part of Han Yeo Jin, a detective who is very just with a warm personality.

On May 3, the drama production staff released behind the scenes footage from the first day of filming!

Corruption and dark mystery in new Forest of Secrets teaser

by tineybeanie

forests0.jpg

The latest teaser from upcoming tvN drama Forest of Secrets is short and doesn’t give much away in terms of plot, but gives us a better feel about the overall tone of the drama. It starts off with the main character, a cold prosecutor played by Jo Seung-woo (God’s Gift—14 Days), wondering, “Is all of this coincidence? Or is it a part of an orchestrated plan?”

And it’s not just paranoia on his part because mystery-thriller Forest of Secrets is all about how a particular series of murders are connected with the deeply rooted corruption in the Korean legal system. In the teaser, Bae Doo-na (Tunnel), who plays a homicide detective that becomes Jo Seung-woo’s partner in pursuing this case, lies on the floor with her eyes shining in pain. Her voiceover continues his thoughts: “A carefully orchestrated truth.”

"Rising star to Top Actress" Shin HyeSun, Transforms into Prosecutor in "Secret Forest"

Shin HyeSun brings her unique focus this time to the role of Young EunSoo in "Secret Forest". It's a role that gives her the biggest change in her filmography to date. Stating "if my previous roles were lovable and full of emotions, EunSoo is a character without much change of emotions," she introduced EunSoo as "a new hire who seems full of sincere energy and a bit awkward on the outside but inwardly she is full of ambition, purpose and secrets."

"I paid a lot of attention to the harsh tone and the general 'prosecutor-like' atmosphere," she spoke of the effort expended in the character development.

Most of all, Shin HyeSun enjoyed best her work with the many veteran actors. Whether in her role or (in real life) at the shooting location, she was the youngest. "Cho SeungWoo set the proper tone of course on location, but also with respect to the proper focus through reactions to my acting. Seniors Yu JaeMyung and Lee JoonHyuk also led me so well that, 'if I just follow them it should come out with better results', I thought," showing endless respect for the more senior actors.

Finally, she also revealed her pride in "Secret Forest". "If you watch the first episode, you have to watch to the end; it's that good a drama. Because you don't want to miss out on the palpable tension." Saying, "even we actors read the script with rapt interest. It would be great if the viewers can experience that tension also," she relayed her hopes.

tvN's "Secret Forest" is a drama about a loner prosecutor Hwang SiMok (Cho SeungWoo) unable to experience emotions, who, with righteous and warm-hearted cop Han YeoJin (Bae DooNa), uncover a murder incident and the hidden truth behind the case in the prosecutor's office.

Everyone is a suspect in Forest of Secrets

by tineybeanie

fsecret16.jpg

The latest teaser for Bae Doo-na (Tunnel) and Jo Seung-woo’s (God’s Gift—14 Days) mystery-thriller Forest of Secrets baits our curiosity with close-ups of all our main characters, and the ominous reminder that “everyone is a suspect with a motive.” Jo Seung-woo stars as a cold, logical prosecutor who begins to pursue a murder case where his fellow co-workers seem to all be in collusion to hide the crime, bowing to the whims of a corrupt entity from above.
