Fanservice at its best

Bamboo Forest is a collection of short visual stories wholly lighthearted in nature. A perfect goodbye to the long-form drama. We see our favorites return in their roles and act splendidly in various shenanigans. There's no linear timeline to this - we get to see Kim So Yong before she was assigned as Queen, and though short, we get a look into her character and realise that she does have various similarities with Bong Hwan, perhaps this was the show creator's way to deal with how the drama ended (there was lack of closure after all). So as viewers, we get to convince ourselves that it was only the King's prejudice against that Kim clan that kept him from accepting So Yong. Apart from the King and Queen, we do get to see how life in palace existed behind all the turmoil. Fun, light, humour ingrained (couldn't stop laughing when they decided to go meta with Prince and Byeong's storyline.)

This is a very happy watch, especially if you are sad to say goodbye to the drama or little dissatisfied with the ending.
