A suspected wife killer went into hiding and raised his son in the wilderness without any contact to the outside world. They used no names. They were always known as the "man" and the "boy." The boy's maternal grandfather offered a bounty to find them. They were hunted down and returned to civilization. Their reintegration back to society proved to a difficult one. The reason they were on the run was again haunting them. Edit Translation

It had a very strong start but the ending was not as good as I expected. Luckily, it was only 8 episodes so it wasn't a draggy or boring. The overall drama was still great. I could finish the whole drama in one sitting because it was that short and interesting.

The storyline was decent and quite original. What I loved most was that even though this is a modern drama, a lot of the filming took place in the forest. It was a refreshing change from the usual dramas. In the end, the drama also explains why certain characters made certain choices which will let you look at everything that happened differently. Plus, there's many 'action' scenes to look forward to!

The cast was fabulous! Who can resist a cute little 5 year old boy in the main cast! Furthermore, he did a very good job in expressing his character. Lee Wei (Man/ZhenSheng), Tender (YouLong) & the guy playing Ku Ku (???all acted very well too. Their facial expressions, tone and body language were all there. There was a slight bit of awkwardness watching Kang Yi (MengFeng)though, maybe I'm just not used to seeing her potraying a 'cool' character. The predators were enjoyable and entertaining too. Overall, it was fantastic :)

I actually don't really like the drama's songs but I thought it was very apt and suitable for it. And since the first episode, I thought that the background music was very fitting and it makes me anticipate whatever is going to happen. That's why I gave it a 10.

I'm not one who's very into rewatching dramas but after watching the Behind-The-Scenes, I feel like rewatching the drama to see if I can understand the drama better. Plus, anything with a cute kid is probably enough to make me rewatch it heh.
