Disappointed in this season yet still somewhat good
After watching and loving Seasons 1 and 2, I had high hopes for Season 3. Unfortunately, where the first two seasons delivered on so many levels: gripping plot and twists, strong acting, an amazing soundtrack, emotional depth (I cried so bad T—T), psychological tension, and genuine thrill, this season fell noticeably short in almost all of those areas (aside from maybe the acting).The plot doesn’t quite "plot," the twists don’t twist, and the emotional or psychological weight just isn't there.
Maybe it’s just my disappointment talking, because in the end, I still watched it all the way through (that says something). I did enjoy seeing the main characters again and following their journeys, but next time I rewatch the series, I’ll stop at Season 2. That ending was far more satisfying, with much better suspense and resolution.

Not up to its potential
This show had great potential, as any dating reality show would in my opinion ;). But sadly this one doesn't feel like one at all… There is no dating content to build up love/ stronger bonds. very little happen and it seems like a "10 friends thinking about life" show.It seem that everything we are watching is highly scripted and even if the messages that we receive through their conversations, questioning and such have a deep meaning, as a dating show it is quite bad…
Don't get me wrong it is nice to watch to some extend, but do not expect to be watching people finding love. I will personally finish the show as I quite enjoy watching people having deep meaning conversations, not really for the whole (non)dating part.
Although 10/10 for the cast who are all more than pretty !

Amazing drama and a rollercoaster of plots & emotions
I will keep it short, I have really enjoyed watching When the phone rings: the characters perfectly well acted and I got attached to them quite easily.Talking about the scenario…AMAZING ! the rhythm was perfect I thought, th e plot was giving us rollercoaster plot and the result was greatly entertaining.
The only downside is that I was really surprised by the last 1-2 episodes… it broke the pace and felt like an addition to meet the necessary episode count. it didn't really add the same value to the scenario/character development than any other episodes and honestly felt out of place. that's why my rating doesn't go over 8.

A good start not quite delivering till the end
In short, I really enjoyed watching the actors, and the story with potential, but there were many downsides. The scenario delivering was not very smooth and quite lacking in some parts (e.g. information and logic).Overall, I ended up enjoying it to the end, as the cast and rhythm was nice, but I did get a bit frustrated at the filming and story sometimes.
I wouldn't really recommend it, but if you have some time it's a nice "side show" (watched at the same time as another).

Amazing show with interesting approach
I just finished rewatching this series. Honestly, the first time I was looking for something light to watch and didn't enjoy it as much as the second time.The scenario is great, the actors are amazing and I love how it is not a plot served on a golden plate to admire, but got me so immersed that I would thing about it all day. In addition, the series doesn't only draws its value in the romance which is quite refreshing.
I really enjoyed the shaman vibe and it was very realistic I thought for a series on this topic (karma, ghosts, shamanism), and I have watched my fair share.
Honestly I could only recommend it. Of course you need to enjoy the topic, but the cast did a great job and the show is very well balanced.

A waste of great potential and disappointing result
I am very frustrated by how disappointed I am.I was so excited about this. new show from JoongDunk (the best ever btw ✨), and the scenario looked promising and had great potential.
At first I was very satisfied and honestly up until episode 3 I was enthusiastic. But after that, the unrealistic side of the story and topic (namely criminal investigation), the lack of feel in the mysterious part, basically the plot is just absolutely not plotting. I really tryied to support the show to the end, but last episode I watched (ep 6) got me so annoyed that I basically fast passed half of it…
Note I give a 3 star for the actors though because they have really improved over the years and I will happily watch their next show (given a minimum more investment and depth to the scenario).

Beautiful from all aspects - 100% recommend
I started watching Lost in the woods as I had some time to waste, and wasn't expecting much of it… And I definitely did not expect it to be so heartwarming to watch, I couldn't stop 'till I was done with all the episodes.I don't want to give any spoilers, so I will only say that it shows us on to one hand some amazingly beautiful landscapes and a surprisingly real life like relationship build up.
Do not think you will be seeing the usual cliché story with a happy ending, nor the (very hated sometimes) tragedy, but a situation that reflects very much a real one.
All that with a production and acting that conveys perfectly emotions to the viewer (me at least ;) ).
I recommend it 100% and hope you will enjoy this relaxing and regenerating watch through !!
