Sinossi
Suspense e atmosfera nei fitti boschi della Corea medievale. 1426. Isola di Jeju, Corea. Le sorelle Hwani e Maewol scompaiono in un bosco e vengono ritrovate prive di sensi nel cuore della foresta, vicine al cadavere di una donna. Cinque anni dopo, loro padre, il detective Min, inizia a indagare sulla scomparsa di tredici ragazze in quella stessa foresta. Ma poco dopo anche lui svanisce nel nulla. È così che Hwani decide di partire alla ricerca del padre per risolvere il caso che ha distrutto la sua famiglia. Mentre scava nei segreti del piccolo villaggio dell'isola, Hwani si scontra con quella sorella ormai divenuta per lei un'estranea, Maewol, e si rende conto che la risposta al mistero della foresta potrebbe nascondersi nei suoi ricordi sepolti...

I'm sorry to say I really didn't enjoy this story. It was disappointing because the premise had me very excited.
