Forest is visually stunning. The nature environment is beautiful with a sea of trees, man rivers and lakes to go with it. The setting is refreshing compared to the usual location that's set in Seoul.

Forest is follows two people that are sent out a small town in Gangwon for seperete reasons, punishment and job related respectively, after first meeting in Seoul. Both are suffering somewhat from their troubled childhoods and despite their tough exteriors, are able to use this to connect to each other. They have a sweet relationship but with shady businessmen that's related to Kang San Hyuk's ideas for a resort having their own plans, things go arwy. The villains of the series are a little generic and too evil compared to the simplistic story and characters around them but it does create a nice contrast for our leads to overcome. The rescue team plot adds some good adventure scenes and gives depth to Kang San Hyuk, allowing him to show his less ruthless side outside of the relationship with Jung Young Jae.
