I’m so sorry, I had to drop this drama after the third episode. I looked up reviews and apparently the problems did not get any better with age, so I’m glad I didn’t waste my time. I’m sad because there was so much potential with this story that it could have been great and instead we got this mess. I would write a review but that feels wrong since I dropped the show, so here's a lengthy comment instead.
Why you might like it? It’s cute, got a HOT main actor with an adorable smile, and of course there are wolves. (or should I say, “wolves”? lol) Why didn’t I like it? I really wanted to like it. The main lead was so cute and nice I wanted to keep watching him. But too many things kept breaking my suspension of disbelief. The plot holes and jarring moments piled on and on until it was too much.
The story has a good premise and the synopsis prepared me for the set of clichés and tropes to expect. Even the setup was okay in the first episode. Unfortunately, based on reviews and comments I have read about what happens later on, the writers wasted the perfectly decent foundation material with a toppling mess of misunderstandings, convolutions, and general awkwardness that just make this uncomfortable to watch and impossible for me to enjoy.
The strangest thing to me is how addictive the story started to feel. Even though I thought it was terrible, I felt compelled to keep watching (which is why I got as far as the end of Episode 3). But to me, this is a sign of one thing they did right in spite of the trainwreck. There was heart, emotion in the story that pulled me forward. Everything else was just executed so poorly that it ended up repelling me in the end.
The casting was spot-on for the male lead (Ze Ming) but messed up for almost everyone else. Honestly, aside from him, the dog that played the wolf dad was probably one of the best actors in this show. Which is sad because he doesn’t even get any lines, he just has to look soulful and mysterious. (;=__=)
I SO wish they had switched the roles of the main female lead and her younger sister because I think the younger sister’s spunky personality (and ACTUAL youth) were a better match with the male lead. Of course, I haven’t watched the whole show so I can’t say this with confidence, but that is what I thought after seeing the first 3 episodes.
The only way I would rewatch this video is to make a very detailed analysis of the plot and charactrs in order to figure out what went wrong and how it could be fixed. And even then, I think it would be too painful for me to endure. Like I said, they had a good premise but bungled it in the execution and meandering, hole-filled plot.
If there was a prime candidate for getting a remake, this show would be it! I would love to see a team of competent writers and a company with a good budget put together an improved version of this drama that has a believable cast, better writing, more attention paid to details and special effects, and for the love of all that is holy, NO plot holes or ridiculous triangles.
As it is, I cannot recommend you to waste the precious hours of your life on this when there are so many other, better-made stories with similar plots for you to enjoy. For instance, Tarzan.
