    Doesn’t the writer decide the number if episodes according to the premise or does the channel? Well if its the writer then I guess they do know that they can give all answers in the episodes they decide but I think its the channel who decides the number because why would they still be pitiful that they couldn’t solve all the mysteries.

      I don’t know, tbh. But since this is not a fully explored genre in kdrama, I doubt tvn would risk giving it the usual 16 episodes in case it flops. If it does well, then good, if not at least there are only 12 episodes. The budget doesn’t seem to be high either, and it’s not promoted as well as their other dramas. They don’t even post much on tvn’s social media sites about Circle the way they do for their other dramas.

    I don’t know why most fantasy dramas like this kind tend to end up as open endings…sigh….but I still like such fantasy genre

      I actually appreciate the open ending here. They have wrapped up the main storyline and gave me hope to go delusional for a season 2 😢 gave a nod to Byul’s origin, as much as their short amount of episodes would allow. 12 episodes is actually not enough for wrapping up the main storyline… I feel like they could’ve explored some plot points better with a little bit more episodes.

      Who knows if there could be a season 2. I’m still hopeful~ 😭🙏

    I actually went into the circle with the almost certainty that it’s going to have an open ending (most dramas in that genre do), but the story and the plot and the characterization and everything about the show blew me away. It’s an open ending I can live with because most of the major questions were answered. But I’ll be honest, I am willing to pray to every god available if I could be certain that they would bring me a season 2 of the show. Utterly fantastic work.
