Strange Movie
This has a bit of a tragic bittersweet ending, so if you are not a fan of those type of endings (like me) you might want to think before you watch, but to be honest everyone mentioning that they didn't like the ending made me want to watch it more.At least with this being a short movie and not a series, you won't feel so cheated at the end. The ML and FL did a good job with what they had to work with and the effects were good.
A bit sad that they don't really end up together as he gets turned into a "tree man" so it kind of makes their story a bit pointless in the end. She's left pruning his branches, wishing he would wake up and tell her what he wanted to say before he became a tree.

Couldn't continue
Watched this in iQIYi as a paid subscriber.Early in the episode, I already got confuse with the cave scene wherein a young gir with her Dad wearing mask are trying to capture a robber.
What's confusing is that the robber saved father and daughter from the deadly live vines using fire but after they got saved the robber stabbed the father killing him. Seriously did not make sense to me. This is how vengeance became the lead female's motivation for continuing to wear a mask and hunt down her fathers killer. Then she comes across a general who is about her age and because she found the same ring the robber had from ten years ago, she assumed he isbthat robber. Didn't make sense again: he would have been a young kid like her in that cave. Nit even half way through and so many senseless scenes and lines casing me to lose interest.
I still continued watching even though the female lead doesn't seem to be working for me. The supporting actress looks better fitting the lead role. This lead actress' facial expressions are sometimes contradicting for the scene.
The male lead actor is handsome but seems to be lacking chemistry between him and lead female actress.
I tried to keep watching hoping the artists will grown on me and story will hook me however, it wasn't enticing enough. Story is not flowing smoothly and there were few contradictions in characters for both female and male lead on top of senseless scenes and lines.
There may be an explanation as to how the cat masked came about but i didn’t come across it before I dropped this series.
It wasn't worth the time for me and definitely wont consider rewatching it. I have dropped series before but placed it on list of possible rewatch but not this one. I do not recommend this series at alk but it is my perspective which can and may be different than yours so give it a try and decide.
