I have seen the last minutes and it's deliberately confusing. Why, you ask?Well, first, we see the ML dining with…
Censorship has not affected any of the other firefighting dramas, there is absolutely no reason for it to affect only this one, especially when it already contained plenty of realistic material including deaths.
The OE was planned from the start, it was in the script that leaked. Now the way they did it, everyone can of course interpret and judge on their own of course.
Am still trying to process... What the heck was that.......
Yes, I think that in their minds tragedy means it is somehow more meaningful when in reality people just get really angry because it's obviously forced and it just ends up annoying us. I am also annoyed because it implies that happy endings cannot be meaningful which is just rubbish.
I already had this drama marked as one to rewatch for comfort in the future and now nope. How frustrating.

I understand, they did the same thing with The Longest Promise. The book has a normal happy ending and then the drama suddenly had an open one, where you are also left wondering wth happened.
I think they believe a sad or open ending makes it more deep and will make the drama more talked about. They don't understand it only ends up annoying people because these things aren't natural progression of the plot but forced. I think I am going to give up watching dramas in real time soon because I can't take these kinds of surprises.
Am still trying to process... What the heck was that.......
No problem, I wish I had better news. I knew how the book ended so I walked in without a care and was left going what, what at the end. I don't understand these choices by directors and writers.

Not really?
The way it was cut, the empty central seat, the four people eating dumplings where two of them are dead already and then the end is just a simple question of whether he died or not. Most Cnetz think he died. There is even a hot search up on Weibo now that he died.
The original script had an open ending and HJY said in a livestream that he didn't die but the way that ending was actually cut it sure looks like he did. Of course anyone can interpret it as they like but it was unnecessary considering the book ending.
Yes, with the empty seat and all, that all screams he died to me.
I wasn't paying attention to this drama before but I just read on Douban the script for this was leaked, with an open ending. Unfortunately it would not be the first time these types of leaks cause a change in what is filmed or how it is finally edited.
huang jingyu said in the stream with zhang jingyi that he did not die and it's an open ending! :"
He did but once you see it, it doesn't look that way because of the way the director cut it. Nothing to do with HJY, this is not a question he should answer, he may not even know what the final cut looks like.
Lou is actually good at his job. That wasn't a small fire, but he lead the team by giving orders calmly, assessing…
I mean, tell me you don't know how command chain works without telling me you don't know how command chain works.
Pointless to talk to you if you don't know even the basics. It is irrelevant that the beam wasn't only his responsibility. Others would be punished too of course (both youngsters and their direct supervisor) but as commander ultimate responsibility is his and he needs to face official consequences for that. The destruction of the team cohesion and falling apart of relationships is all on him. Of course , he walks away like nothing happened because the writer suddenly decided he will not follow the rules he himself previously established.

What he was, was lucky.
If that beam that fell on the ML had truly broken his spine, and it very well could have in real life circumstances, would that have been an ok price for learning? If the ML hadn't stepped in, that whole station would have imploded.
His actions were absolutely the cause of what happened. Why he did that, whether he is a nice person, none of that matters. Commander takes full responsibility, the ML was injured, the relationships in the station were toxic and he absolutely should have been removed from command as a consequence of his actions according to the standard the writer previously established. He had numerous red flags before that final incident that he should have spotted, not to mention he was told directly it wasn't working. He ignored all of it. It is irrelevant that the writer is now going to pretend it is just "learning" and normal and no big deal. It is bad writing. If the writer wanted to leave it as normal part of leading, even though it isn't, then he should not have kicked the ML out previously for far less.
You don't learn command on the job btw. You learn first at the academy, then as you go up the ranks and as an assistant to a commander. Not on the job when dead people are what happens because you are "learning". This isn't idols playing actors and messing up a drama because they can't actually act and are "learning" on the job.
LMY did not do anything against the rules. He chose to remove himself. I have said since day 1 that he is not…
Lmao he totally destroyed the relationships in the station, over-worked them, stressed them, which caused them to start acting out even at actual missions but he was not wrong. Sure.
The ML literally addresses his fails but sure, let's pretend he was not wrong. If the ML hadn't shown up and started cleaning up his mess, that station would have totally imploded and somebody would have ended up dead.
He has a good heart. If the ML had become paraplegic for example who cares! He has a good heart! It's actually frightening that you think someone who is failing so badly that people could be permanently disabled or dead due to his actions and inactions is not wrong. When the drama itself directly tells you he is and why he is. Unbelievable.

He introduced competition and part of that was his introduction of technology. That too hightened their stress levels and made the relationships in station worse.
Plus if people break who is going to be using that technology? That's why it's a fail from a wider POV that is all reflected in his inability to command. If he had introduced it, without the relationships becoming so toxic, then it would have been a success. Technology on its own means nothing. People using that technology means everything and his people were breaking.
He is absolutely not command material at the moment. He would be good as a tech man and an innovator but command requires skills he does not have.
So I am back to my initial statement - the writer had the ML suspended and removed for a far less severe issue. Here is someone who is failing at command and whose failures caused serious consequences and absolutely should be removed too. Instead the writer does a 180 and suddenly he gets a pass.
