It's a lot.... but yes, we got through it :)

I think this had an interesting direction. I was wondering how they were going to incorporate medical and crime and romance all together, but I'd just label this mostly a romance drama. Anyhow, my thoughts are pretty simple here:

1. Acting is pretty good and I like the lead couple and 3rd lead couple. There's a lot of communication and chemistry in these relationships, as well as cuteness. Obstacles have NOTHING on Xing Kelei and Mi Ka. I really appreciate the realism in the portrayal of first love (shy, a little bashful).

2. Pacing and story are a little muddled though. There are super long arcs, the second lead couple just made me skip all their scenes and the story doesn't really effectively navigate crime and medical arcs. They don't feel necessary, to be honest, and that bothers me a little. Just a tad?

I think if you do something in a drama, do it well. If not, don't do it at all. I do also think the romance did get in the way of realism for depicting special forces and hospital activity. I think the drama definitely serves in bringing your attention to first responders, but it's pretty damn romanticized.

3. I did watch all of it. It's pretty binge-worthy, and I am a binger. I did keep on pressing the forward five seconds button though :/

I could honestly see myself rewatching this.
