This review may contain spoilers
First of all, let me just say this drama already lost points for me when they made Kang San Hyuk a CEO. Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal but I had this as "plan to watch" because before the drama aired, the original plot made me think Kang San Hyuk would, from the beginning, be a rescue squad member in order to find out about his past. This sounded interesting to me but little to my knowledge, once the first episode aired, I was confused and disappointed how they had to make this about corporation & business and thus, that's how we have our villain here because of your typical corrupt corporation & business, who by the way seems very useless in this drama with little appearances until past the 2nd half of this drama. This was something I didn't care for and frankly the boring part of this drama. Any scenes that was about business was boring to me and there were a lot of them.
This was also the reason why I couldn't like Kang San Hyuk to the fullest. That corporate mind, the using of the rescue squad team to benefit himself was a downside to his character. No real growth for this character until maybe the very end which is a bummer. The other characters were okay for me. I usually see some bad acting in dramas but I wasn't really bother with Jo Bo Ah's acting compared to other people. I thought she did a good job portraying her character of Young Jae. Though Bo Mi was annoying, I kinda like her character. She was very courageous and did things that many may not be fond of her doing but she attempt to make changes to help out the forest and village. By the way, I never understood why Young Jae & Bo Mi hated each other. Though the writer showed a scene of their past life together, I felt like their hatred for each other was pointless and unnecessary. They should've been best friends from the start. Of course, my favorite character is Choi Chang. He's just very likable in this drama from start to finish. You just can't skip a scene if he's in it.
The chemistry between Kang San Hyuk & Jung Young Jae seemed forced at first. They didn't seem like there was a connection but it did get better as you dive deeper into the drama. I grew to liking their moments and their scenes probably at the halfway point. The writers also made it seemed like there was going to be a love triangle but it seems like they may have scrapped that idea and just continue with second leads being together, which by the way seems very odd to me, but at the same time I thought they had a lot of cute moments together.
Editing was kinda not good for this drama. What I mean is from episode to episode, the transition was kinda weird, to the point where you were somewhat confused on what happened when starting an episode. It's get a little better later but the beginning, wow, very messy. You have to take time to let it in to realize what's going on.
Ending felt rushed in terms of Young Jae getting over her panic attack at the very last minute. That could've been handled better like a few episodes ago but otherwise a very satisfying ending.
Had this drama initially started with Kang San Hyuk as a rescue squad team member and told his story with his voice-over monologue and had they got rid of the corporation & business aspect of this drama, then this drama would've excel well, but because this wasn't the case, I think this may be why the ratings were low.
