It tries

I’m not sure how to feel about this drama. It seems like an interesting start to things, yet at the same time, I’m more interested in the future. The disappearance of a young child was just slightly weird to me, but it made somewhat more sense once the background of his viewpoint was.

I don’t know what it is, but something in this episode feels off. I don’t know if it's the dialogue, or the acting itself, it just seems unnatural and forced compared to other Taiwanese dramas.

I find myself slightly bored and uninterested during most of the episode and unsure whether or not how the rest of the episodes are going to turn out.

On a side note, it's just slightly throwing me off because they are using huskies. It makes sense, but there are closer looking canines than huskies to wolfs. Not to mention they are way to cute and adorable to seem like a fierce wolf.

Always

I just have to say it, Always by Yoon Mirae is the OST of my life, It fits so well in this drama, and the overall tone of the series.

I love how in the beginning of the episode we see them going at their own battles. Two different types both have lives on stake, it's kind of shows how they both work under pressure and could work well together in the future. Its an interesting comparison.

The transitions between scenes are especially cool and even though it's dramatic and cheesy it goes with the feeling of things. I also find it extremely funny and cute that she looks at his x-ray.

As for casting even though it's a the second episode, I feel like the two main actors are very well casted in their roles. I feel like they both are very well into their characters even though it's the second episode.

Loss

When they are in the grocery store, I can honestly just see the director escorting them to an aisle and being like “have fun” and just tape it. It has that lively feel.
Its reasonable that she would be this upset over a broken camera, because it's the last thing with her mother's face in motion, her mother speaking, her mother who she will never hear or see in person. A memory that she can reply in vivid detail without guessing. I think the actress does a great job of showing the sadness of losing one’s mother for the second time. It a really emotional scene and I think she does justice to it.
The episode also lets a see them being actually magical, at least at the end and leaving us wondering why they disappeared.

Big Boss

I like the feeling I get from watching this drama already. The shots feel like there were shot for a film but editing and the way of plot feels like a drama. It feels like a happy medium and sets the precedents for the next episodes to come.
I really enjoy the banter between Big Boss and Wolf. I could watch just hours of their banter and the side looks. Ah, the love of Bromance.
One thing that I am liking is how strong each of the characterization feels in the first moments you meet you the characters, even the side characters feel well established. The strength of Mo Yeon fits well with Shin Jins. Can’t wait to watch more.

Panda

It's clear throughout this episode even, he has stated that he does like her, her insecurities show through. Which I think is a wonderful job by the actress with just the slight angle of her smiles and her eyes (my heart!). In her mind she keeps comparing herself to his first love, I think this is because of the jealousy she has for as well as the admiration for the older woman. This also shows the struggles of a girl and society where she will go on diet because she might be perceived to have gain some weight. I like how the insecurities of a girl in love are shown throughout this episode just because I’ve felt these two, and It's nice being able to connect with these feelings. It also shows the struggles one goes through in learning to let your first love go, in order to really love someone else.



On an unrelated note, I do love how their school mascot is a panda.
