Hoping For A Deep Romance But Stay For The Woods
Lost in the Woods follows the story of 18-year-old Fifa, who dreams of studying in Japan. But before that happens, his grandma sends him off to work in the woods. There, he meets Hem, a quiet park ranger, and that’s where their story begins.
This BL series is definitely a super slow burn. Like, they only start to realize their feelings around episode 5 and there are only 7 episodes total (about 40 minutes each). There’s not much actual romance going on. It’s more about two guys forming a quiet, emotional bond. They never even confess properly—it’s all subtle hints and lingering looks. Most of the story is told from Fifa’s point of view, especially how he feels about Hem.
What really stood out to me was the cinematography—it’s stunning. The rural setting is absolutely beautiful and really adds to the overall mood. The acting is solid too, and thankfully, there’s no cringey or nonsensical dialogue.
As for the chemistry between the leads... it’s okay, not amazing. I had mixed feelings overall, some parts were really slow and kind of boring, while others were more engaging.
The ending? It was alright. Not everything tied up the way I hoped. I really wouldn’t mind a second season to explore their story more and give it the depth it deserves.
