After a family tragedy, a kind-hearted high school student moves into a tent on land owned by a mysterious family. They take her in, but she soon discovers their unusual secret: physical contact with someone of the opposite sex can transform them into animals from the zodiac.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt romance with supernatural quirks, layered characters, and emotional life lessons; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, action, or plot-heavy storytelling.
