[Drama 2020] Forest of Secrets Season 2, 비밀의 숲 2

[nona88]

To be honest YJ and SM really not fit for this kind of position on reform teams 

 

What the chief of prosecutors  said was true in these teams you need people  who fight for the right  and power of their team no matter what

 And that not YJ or  SM character, the decision  that will be out of this fight will affect both sides for the long time ahead  it will affect everyone in police and prosecutors  sides no matter if it the bad or the good guys in the system 

 

So having two people  who only care about true  even if it small or big and dont care about  the bigger picture  is mistake 

 

Dont get me wrong, I am totally with what YJ and SM value but we all know how this system  work it not just the wrong one will pay the price but everyone  

 

 

Still I will sure be with SM and YJ side but I am just saying it not easy decision  more then season  1 it more the grey  area that you can understand  everyone  view of things

I agree with what you said but we did not see them at work in that committee yet. From what I saw, Yeo Jin believes in what police side has proposed. She is with her team.  Shi Mok was more suited like the observer but it is not his fault that he was chosen. But he knows the law very well and he will bring  arguments to present the cause.

But I believe they will start investigate the case more than meet in the committee.

The prosecutor will try to use the file Dong Jae brought to undermine the police side. We know that Choi Bit was involved and we don`t know how far the coruption have spread in this case.

 

I don`t want Choi Bit to be proven corrupt. It will be a huge blow to Yeo Jin who admires her. Just like in season 1 Lee Chang Joon was a model for Shi Mok and other prosecutors.

When Shin Jae Yong, Choi Bit`s boss came to talk to her said that he doesn`t know why the prosecutors are targeting the head of police, he felt that it is something personal in that and I feel like Choi Bit knows more than she is letting to know. 

 

If Choi Bit and the police won`t be cleared of the suspisious, the negotiation will be compromised. I am sure that the case will become more complicated and not only the police will be involved. We`ll see.

Both Choi Bit and Woo are fishy and hiding things. 

From what I understood, Woo Tae Ha didn't take the file where Choi Bit manipulated the prosecutor's death. He took the other two files.

 

Also Choi Bit said to HYJ that everything is connected when she came running seeing the TV news about the Intelligence director being arrested. Is she aiming to replace the director ?

All three files have Choi Bit as a target. I think he took the police suicide because he wanted to investigate a case where the police officers were involved. I won`t be surprised if the that prosecutor`s case is connected with this also.  Unfortunetly we`ll see many death and cover ups until we know the truth.

Wasn't he targeting the Intelligence director and asked SDJ to leave Choi Bit out and go after the bigger names? Yep I believe the prosecutor's case will eventually come up. Otherwise they would not show SDJ keeping it in a drawer

Yes, Woo Tae Ha wanted the bigger name but Dong-Jae is what he got. But I wonder if Woo Tae Ha really wanted to leave Choi Bit out with the pretense that he wants her boss or it is something with these two?

I suspect everthing.

 

I laughed when the prosecutors wanted to recrut members for the team and Shi Mok knew what everyone has been doing. He is like a library.

Lol Shi Mok is more polite now compared to season 1.

 I wonder when he will start to annoy his boss. He will do what he things is right not what his boss tells him.  When the chief from Tongyeong was angry that he did not come to the farewell party, we heard how he scolded Shi Mok asking "You don`t feel bad people for people were waited for you" (something like that) I answered for him : Nope. I imagined his calm/ straight face while the chief was angry.

 

The new chief was puzzled why he chose to have a room in the dormitory with the investigators. It is the beginning.

He has already started that but in non aggressive mode. I am curious though what's the motive of taking him into team? Why Choi Bit wanted him to be an adviser? And why WTH took him as a member, knowing how is he? Does he think he can use him or manipulate him?

Whoa, you are the first person that hope Yeon Jae will change for the better.  I didn't get the same feelings after seeing how she overruled her advisors to hire tax specialists despite knowing it compromises business ethics.  She will keep Hanjo operations the same to save her father's legacy. She knows that she is only interim deputy chairman while Chairman Lee is in jail.

 

I may be the first and only one – ha. I work in the area of tax and did a brief rotation in S. Korea so the meeting of Lee Yeon Jae and her advisors caught my attention. Based on that conversation, I too did not get the impression that she was all business ethical, but think it is still early and things can potentially evolve. Since change was something that Lee Chang Joon mentioned in the opening narrative, I hope change for the better can happen even for the most unlikely characters in the story as well. With Yeon Jae, she seemed frustrated with her half-brother and his tactics. If she succeeds in securing the majority company shares, it is possible she can be chairwoman and steer the direction of the Hanjo according to her own beliefs. I do not want Lee Yoon Beom to come back and in the end, I want her to choose her husband’s final legacy over her father’s. I still remember from season 1 finale, she told her late husband that she was sorry and wished he had just told her everything. Would be nice if those words can translate into something meaningful from Hanjo’s perspective. Anyway, I am getting off tangent from what’s been presented so far so I will stop here.

I feel the same as you about Choi Bit - I do not want her to be corrupt. Yeo Jin does seem to admire her and I got the sense that she admires Yeo Jin back. She is tough in front of Yeo Jin, but I noticed that she usually gives a slight smile when Yeo Jin leaves. We shall see how her character plays out.

Yes, I am curious about her too. She is tough. I like how she did not give up and she actually made possible another meeting between police and prosecutors. Perhaps Yeo jin was right (it was better to promote positive articles about police and not attack the prosecutors) but she knows politics.

I am afraid that the first season scenario will happen again. I still remember how I liked Lee Chang-Joon and Yoon Se Won and we know how everything ended.

 Yes I am with you that Yj believes  of what she doing there and believe  that the police should have power  to make change she too has to struggle  as police  officer  under the prosecutor  authority  and dirty work 

 

She dont agree on using dirty methods  to that as we saw from ep1  that what will make it hard that the facts that she know should be out will be the reason to destroyed  what she believed  should happen

Totally agree I notice her reacting was off that why I said I feel she the most dangerous  one here till now I think she the one who hide more 

I think it going to be a case where police  involved  in killing dirty police  officer  and prosecutors I I dont know if they just doing it to hide the true or for crazy believe  that they cleaning the system 

 

But like you I want to be wrong YJ will take a really  hard one if that the true and even if   just like SM  she sure can overcome  that but it still hurt

   You right and even when he ask him if he know the death prosecutor  at first he act like he didnt even when his face show he did know him

We know that they all dirty at one point 

If choi  has  being doing dirty  work in police  then at some point she did that for prosecutor  too 

 

I know they fight now but that dont mean they didn't work together  in past and willingly will work again together  in future  if they needed  

 

It just they fight and hurt each other to some line after that line they all togethers in this dirty  powerful  game 

 

 

Edit : 

@larus dear let me borrow your gif 

 

 That my favorite  dude  when they sneak  off the work behinds their boss  back  to play together  the proplem that this two playing always  ended  with a nuclear bomb that affect the country   thanks for this gif my favorite  running  kids

I was starring at this actor. I recognized him but I could not remember from where.

 

 

Then I found out. He is Jung Sung Il and I saw him this year in Woman of 9.9 Billion.

[nona88]

 My friend's  leave the  serious  things aside I have two important  questions  here 

 

1. Why we didn't see YJ drawing  again? It was her way to Express her thoughts  and feelings  

 

 

2 .and most important  are we going to see the smiling  drawing  that she give to SM again ???  We know he kept  it from season 1

 If not, she will give him another drawing.

 

We`ll see Shi Mok eating again? In two occasions they interupted him and we did not see him eat.

But we see him doing house chore (shaking a blanket).

Adding to the list:

3. Where's the photo frame that Shi Mok had in namhae office?

[nona88]

@larus poor him , the wish that they leave him to finish  his meal is international now  from season 1 to season  2 I like the writer keep up his little details  

And for the smile what about making YJ make him give us  another one before the drawing  itself

I am satisfied if they give us these regardless the plot 
think Yeojin was not randomly picked to join the Intelligent team 2 years ago and now Shimok to be an advisor both by Choi bit. It easy to find out the friendship between these two. She or (they?) think Shimok or Yeojin would influence each other and therefore sway things to their way? 
since investigation rights has been a long standing issue. The plan was to get Yeojin or Shimok involve was in motion may be 2 years ago?

Whatever Choi bit’s intention, i think she does like Yeo jin and there is mutual respect between these two. It would make it much harder for Yeojin which create interesting conflict to the story. Shimok is however always suspicious of Lee Changjoon. He does not trust him despite the initial admiration at the beginning when Shimok was a young prosecutor.

I was hoping that during the first meeting HSM-HYJ, this topic came out and HYJ would offer to rent out her room to HSM!

Yes, from the get-go, LYJ doesn't seem to be going on the straight line. Isn't it contradictory with what LCJ's (husband-glorified hero) wish? But yes, too soon to tell for now.
