Beautiful story but...

I love romantic Cdramas. This drama follows the typical trope; a girl chasing her childhood love. at first, it was a little too much IMO, yet the ML actually fell in love with her in the long run.

The drama started off pretty ok and the pacing was relatively slow in my opinion. Yet this drama was all over the place. it got too chaotic at some point( which was expected, as this drama is showing a firefighter), mixed with too much patriotism and complications. The second and third couples were ok too.

I personally liked the leads and their chemistry, but if you're a romance lover like me, you know how important it is for the actors to show affection. This drama is not some melodrama with a slow-burn romance, it's rather straightforward even from the beginning. However, the leads have the most superficial kiss scenes ever. They kiss like a few times, but each time it's like nothing. just lips touching. The chemistry is there, the kisses? NOPE. this happens a lot in cdrama world but still.

Overall, if you don't have any issues with the couple's chemistry and body language, the story is ok and watchable(albeit slow)
