The Disappointing Factor
The show could be a little disturbing at times because some scenes are very graphic. So, people who are uncomfortable with that kind of stuff should probably take caution before watching.
In-Depth Analysis
The show does a wonderful job of spreading awareness regarding the plight of wild animals and the danger of extinction. Hunting is still considered a sport in many places around the world. Ignorance can be as lethal as cruelty. Small communities in these places live by the “kill or get killed” law and hence attack the wild animals considered dangerous. The drama also narrates the story of heroes who work tirelessly to protect these dumb creatures and restore their habitats.
Star Power
This project couldn’t have been a big success without the actors involved, whose tireless enthusiasm towards the cause shines through the episodes. Ryu Seung Yong’s encounter with the endangered lions in Zimbabwe, who lost their numbers as well as their natural habitat, is well documented. Park Shin Hye also bore witness to some terrible instances of animal violence in Bostwana, well known for being home to countless elephants. Yoo Hai Jin’s visit to Ben Kilhalm’s centre for bear rehabilitation brings some closure as the viewers get to see the other side of the coin. Kim Woo Bin’s voice as the narrator is like a soothing balm in moments of distressing scenes and ugly truths.
Overall Opinion
This show is a must-watch for both animal lovers and the general public alike. Gut-wrenching and brutally honest, it leaves the audience conscience-stricken about a cause that is lacking enough recognition.
