> Beautifully filmed !! **Environmentalists Wet Dream** ; this depicts the injustice we/corporations do the nature out of greed and refuse to own up/recitfy our mistakes . The most striking thing about this drama is the visuals, being set in Gangwon province and in the forests there's just tree's in almost every scene. It's got a really unique visual presence compared to most dramas.

PLOT
------

The plot is simple and is full of your usual cliche drama tropes. A rich arrogant chaebol goes undercover as a rescuer in a rustic country town and falls for a sweet innocent local doctor. And of course they’re forced to cohabitate. Then there’s also the cliche trauma in the past they both suffer from but can’t remember. What saves this drama is the talent of the two lead actors, their romance, and the amazing outdoor scenery.

I loved all of the breathtaking outdoor scenes! Then there’s the lush green valleys, rolling hills, picturesque mountains, and clear streams that tons of the scenes are filmed in. The beautiful outdoor settings for this drama breathes life into it and really sets it apart. I loved the parts where they ride bikes through the beautiful trees and lush foliage. And they did a lot of that.

Its really hard people who grew-up to live in rural areas despite that being many peoples retriement dream and that is where the story starts with trying to build a resort for people like and then the expected plot twists and mysteries get unraveled .


I enjoyed the main storylines and the romance between the ML and FL but there did seem a couple of times that the FL just decided to move on from a previous issue and forgive rather than it feeling like things had been properly worked out... There's lots of touching moments, since it's based around a village suffering from problems and a 119 rescue team.



CAST
------

Park Hae Jin had a commanding presence as always and worked will with the scenes and script, whether he was in mega business-man mode, loving boyfriend mode, or action-man rescue team mode.

Jo Bo Ah - this isn't first drama but I'm tentatively impressed with what I saw. There were some aspects where she seems to be smiling as she delivers her lines that I didn't think smiling was quite the right thing - so it felt out of sync - but - I enjoyed her performance more overall.

Loved the story between the lead characters. Their relationship spoke to being stronger together, and power of love in the healing process. The symbolism of the healing power of the forest was apparent. Park Hae Jin and Jo Bo Ah did an excellent job. Both main characters were wound pretty tight, but spending time in the forest and with each other softened them, but ultimately made them stronger. Seeing Park Hae Jin being playful was worth the price of admission! [spoiler] Their kisses were very lovely [(especially the stethoscope kiss!). [/spoiler]

I really enjoyed the side couple with the police officer Oh Bo Mi - I thought her character and how she played it was brilliant and then the play-off between her and the FL was great too. She was really a crazy (wackooo) dog that bites what she sniffs!! I liked how they didn't Second Leads interests on FL and transitioned to him actually proposing first to Second Female Lead

The bad guy's was really quite deranged and I enjoyed (in a 'throw popcorn at the tv' kinda way) when they were on-screen.
Especially creepy bad guy - the actor did a wonderful job, he was really hard to watch and seriously gave me the heebie-jeebies!

However, I felt that this show suffered from too many episodes - it was so drawn out I fast forwarded through a lot of it toward the end, and the ending, as is unfortunately commonplace in Korean dramas, was too rushed.

MUSIC
---------
LUNA(루나) _ Take Me Now is now my all time 2nd Favourite Opening (after DOKO- Psycho) . Seriouly whenever the BGM turns on this music between epsiodes and during some plot twists I would be awake and my interest in the show was renewed .


VERDICT
----------
Overall it's a great watch, even if you don't gel with the story for some reason, there's some gorgeous scenery and just a generally quite different feel to it than other dramas due it taking place in the depths of the forests in Gangwon-do.

I like that there was no annoying love triangle. And the side couple was really cute. It won’t be in my top ten but it’s not at the bottom with the worst ones either. It’s just a pretty decent drama that I’m glad I watched. I would recommend watching it.

The entire drama and the main couple's relationship was built entirely around bonding over their each others trauma. Not necessarily bad but it felt it was purposely designed that way to manipulate the viewers' emotions forcefully. This was pretty obvious from the very beginning with how they portrayed and handled the female lead's boyfriend. You would fell for their trap if you were a newcomer. The music choices were odd and mostly cheap, in addition, the dubstep soundtrack was completely unfitting. Anyway, if it wasn't for the forestry scenery then the drama wouldn't have had much to offer. Throwing in two attractive leads together isn't enough anymore.
