40 of 40 episodes seen
Completed
Overall 4.5
Story 5.0
Acting/Cast 6.0
Music 4.0
Rewatch Value 3.5

Good Rescues, the rest is overrated

LIKES:
FX: wounds, burn scars, etc pretty well done.
CAST: Yang Yang’s acting ability has become slightly better; showing a good range of emotions for his character, even crying
Decent CGI
okay production
good cinematography
Decent wardrobe
Rescue parts were well done for action sequences.
Decent supporting actors/actresses

DISLIKES:
MUSIC: overly loud & sometimes a weird choice for certain scenes.
Pacing issues, making too many episodes and rushed ending

Colour pallet is boring, especially wardrobe when they’re not in their uniforms.

DIRECTING: Very bad; overly submissive FL when family concerned, to point of being cringy.
Yang Yang’s character too much frowning and “looking angry” but it doesn’t always suit the situation or have any impact.
Little chemistry between FL & ML.
For a medical based drama, there were technical parts for the characters’ jobs, that were so forgotten that realism went out the window, right with believability.

WRITING:
No character depth for ML & FL; just a doctor and a fireman, doesn’t explain their past issues or show growth. Lots of fire/rescue moments and surgical doctor stuff, but too much means the times it should give impact in the situation, leaves you just bored. I’m fast forwarding through parts and I’m only at Ep. 33
PLOT: typical cliche’s like overbearing/controlling parent as the evil person, intrusive & lying media, brave and golden fire fighters & military personnel (patriotism is strongly upheld), corporate greed, etc.
Too little of their high school life shown and remained as flash back memories; but we needed it to explain the character’s past and for development as they are adults now.

OVERALL:
Many boring parts and redundancy. The best parts were the Fire Department rescues and ER moments. Seems like the writer knew this, based on the last two episodes. Because of that it barely scapes by to a 4.5/10. If you like Yang Yang, Fire Department people and Doctors/Nurses, then I would recommend this drama for people just getting into it. Everyone else you might want to fast forward frequently. I won’t watch it again and I barely made it to the end.
