Little House In The Forest (2018)

This is one of the best documentaries out there. It is made out of a unique cross between real reactions of the two hosts (or as they are referred to - subjects) and vlogging "a day in my in life" type of videos. It also centres around a very important theme, happiness.

SJS and PSH were so good here, the creators really picked excellent subjects. They contrasted each other so well and seeing them fulfil the missions in their own way was not only entertaining but almost satisfying. I loved them both so much. PSH was so playful and took all the missions heads on, sometimes making them in her own rules. SJS was so hilarious. Sometimes he just did everything without a fuss and other times he sat around thinking how to approach it in such an entertaining way. I must also say that he is probably the sweetest man on this planet, having that kind of weather and still cracking jokes with the crew all the time.

I also really liked how they tailored the missions to the subjects and their reactions were sometimes priceless. When PSH had to turn off her off phone was just pure gold, as well as when SJS had to create something artsy.

LHITF is much more than a documentary. The prolonged shots of nature create unique atmosphere and the topics of small happiness warm your heart quite a lot. I did not mind the 1,5 hour per episode, it flew by I don't even know how. I got a bit teary during the last episode as well, since they showed some behind the scenes interviews and PHS became very emotional.

Being happy in your life is so very important. In the past I did not believe in happiness but I learned to find it small things, which is also represented in the spirit of this show and I agree with it strongly. I think that I will come back to this documentary quite a lot. Rain will probably remind me of it on a frequent basis.

Melepas kesibukan di kota yang bising, Park Shin Hye dan So Ji Sub pergi ke sebuah hutan yang berbeda untuk hidup sendiri selama beberapa hari. Masing-masing diberi rumah kecil dan merasakan hidup dengan situasi tertentu. Hari-hari yang biasa mereka isi dengan kesibukan tiada henti, berganti menjadi hidup lambat penuh pemaknaan.

Mendengarkan suara alam, melihat jenis-jenis awan, membaca buku sampai ketiduran, makan perlahan, memasak berkesadaran, melukis, bermain dengan anjing dan tidak bergantung dengan handphone. Tipikal acara yang lambat, sunyi dan enak ditonton sebelum tidur.

Belajar banyak dari acara ini dengan merenungkan kembali kebiasaan hidupku yang serba terburu-buru. Beberapa yang aku dapatkan seperti: multitasking memang baik, tapi monotasking dengan fokus penuh justru lebih baik. Belajar menghargai air dan memperpanjang waktu makan dengan mengunyah perlahan.
