It had great potential
This drama had great potential. I loved how original and unique the story was, especially for C-dramas. I absolutely adored the beautiful opening sequence and the OST (never skipped it, watched it every episode). I also really liked that they filmed on location and most of the actors used their own voices instead of being over-dubbed. For that alone I would have watched this drama because I really appreciate how they didn't just film everything in a studio with a CGI forest. I really hate when C-dramas overuse CGI.
However, as much as I would have loved for this drama to be great (and I really was hoping it would be), the plot unfortunately is a convoluted mess and rather incomprehensible at times. I dunno, maybe I'm just a dummy but I was pretty confused about what the hell was going on for like 80% of the show. Also I didn't feel like there was any chemistry between the main leads. Their romance just felt very meh and underwhelming in my opinion. Sadly as much as I wanted to like this show for its originality, for me it never reached its potential and ended up being rather forgettable. 7.0 - Good effort, but could be much better.
