Lost in the Woods – A Seriously Underrated BL Gem
I don’t even know how to explain how good Lost in the Woods is—it just hits different. The nature setting? Stunning. Every scene feels peaceful and refreshing, like you're also escaping into the forest with the characters. And the soundtrack? So, so good. I didn’t dare skip the end credits because the OST is just that amazing. It really sets the mood, and I even replayed a few episodes just for the music.
The story has a slowburn feel, but it doesn’t drag at all. Even when things aren’t focused on the romance, you’ll still be hooked by everything else happening—like the wildlife, the quiet moments, and the message about nature and conservation. It’s really unique compared to other BLs I’ve seen.
Fifa starts out a bit annoying and immature, but you’ll see his growth throughout the series, and it makes you root for him. Hem, on the other hand, is more reserved and closed off, clearly dealing with pain from his past. But little by little, you’ll see him start to open up, thanks to Fifa. Their bond is slow and soft, but very real.
If I had to complain about one thing, it’s how short the series is. Only 7 episodes! I wish there was more time to really get to know the characters even better. It had so much potential to be longer, but they did a good job with what they had.
As an international viewer, I feel like it wasn’t promoted well at all. I just randomly found it, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. It’s a hidden gem and I feel like one of the lucky few who discovered it early.
If you’re into BLs that are calm, heartfelt, and set in nature, give Lost in the Woods a try. It deserves way more love.
