Lost in the Woods

I have no words to describe how good this series is. Not a person who writes reviews but I really wanted for this one.

The story is great, it doesn't drag at all. Everything is on point. Specially acting is amazing.. I could feel the emotions that the actors portrayed. Cinematography of this series is so stunning every scene felt refreshing and soothing. Overall I fell in love with this series and one of the best so far I watched in 2025.

The only thing I have as a complain is that I felt like this is not promoted well and this deserves way more views and love than this. I'm glad and lucky that I found this.

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.
