After watching the first episode, I looked up some articles to see how accurate the information in the drama is and was happy to see they did their research. I think it's great when such dramas are made since we are able to appreciate certain professions more.

PMY does a great job no matter what role she plays, so I never worry when I start watching any of her dramas.

I can see why this wouldn't be an interesting watch for some people, but I actually enjoy dramas that focus on a certain field, like meteorology in this one. It's quite informative and I like to learn. I appreciate how the screenwriters talked to actual meteorologists and collected data before making this drama.
I also like how PMY's character is a successful woman which is something I definitely prefer in comparison to ditzy, clumsy female characters.
When it comes to romance, PMY never disappoints, so I'm not that worried about it.

I love PMY and was excited to see her paired up with Song Kang, so I hope this will be a good drama.

Comments rarely have an impact on whether I watch a drama or not. It was just funny to me how those two comments were right under each other.

I wasn't expecting anything. I don't know much about this drama or any hate it received before it started airing. I was just curious what people who have already watched the first episode think and those two comments made me laugh.

I'm about to start watching this, but came here first to read some comments.
I love how there's a "such a great first episode" comment right under a "such a bad first episode" comment. This will be fun lol

"To be mugged without being hit." I'm loving this drama already.

I've been fast-forwarding more and more with each episode. I find it quite boring and I don't even like the chemistry between the leads. Also, that water bottle scene was so cringy. I don't know who thought it was a good idea, but I hope I never see that again lol

I feel bad for Ding Fang. Not only is she dealing with her marriage issues, now her mom as well, plus she's trying to help out TX at the same time. She's doing great, but she needs a break.

I'm watching a bunch of dramas, so by the time it ends, I'll probably be on the 6th episode lol

That's good to hear. I guess I have to power through these two episodes lol

I'm three episodes in and it's not that I don't like it or think it's bad, but I feel like I'm maybe not in the right mood for it?
It just seems like one of those slower, melodramatic dramas that you have to be mentally ready for. I think I'll watch 2 more episodes and then decide whether I'll continue or leave it for another time.

I remember wanting to watch that, but then decided not to. I don't know why. I might try watching it soon.
I did see some other dramas he was in and I liked his acting in those as well.

I'm enjoying this drama so much. I wish I waited until it ended so that I can binge it.
ML is such a good actor and he did an amazing job with his character. I'll be watching all of his upcoming dramas.
FL is smart, strong, and self-aware, but not prideful.
Their chemistry and interactions are funny and sweet. I'm waiting for them to become a couple, but until then their bickering is enough for me lol

Another Jerry Yan drama! I'm really happy with the FL as well since I think she's a pretty good young actress. I'm excited about this one!

Operation Special Warfare just ended and I'm always looking for more military/romance dramas. I'm excited about this one as well!

I expected to see a higher rating, at least an 8.
I enjoyed the chemistry between the leads and some cases were quite interesting. It's not the best psychological drama out there, but it's not bad either.
I didn't like Qiao Xin's acting in You Complete Me, but she did well here. I'll feel less sceptical about her future projects after watching this.

My dad was in the army and I've seen some of his fellow soldier friends. They weren't like the ones you would see in the movies, but they were definitely muscular, at least more than most of the actors I see in military dramas.
It might just be the difference in training and what they deem to be more important.

I'm aware of such differences, but I assumed soldiers everywhere would look similar when it comes to muscle mass due to their training (which might be much different from western ones, I'm not educated about it) and need to be physically strong. I know there are physical differences between Asians and, let's say, Europeans due to nutrition, gene mutations, environment etc, but when you look at certain professions, e.g., bodybuilders similar look can still be achieved. Maybe I would think differently if I grew up watching/seeing Asian soldiers and not European or those from the US.
It doesn't bother me that much though. It's just that the actors look pretty much the same as they would in some other drama not related to military lol

I've watched it already.
Based on the soldiers I've seen in person and those I've seen in western movies and tv shows, almost all soldiers in Chinese dramas don't look muscular enough (to me) lol
Maybe actual Chinese soldiers look like that though, so it might be realistic.

I'm 6 episodes in and it's pretty good.
I still have a hard time taking these Chinese military/police/special forces dramas seriously since everyone looks so thin and lacks muscle. It's also quite similar to other dramas about military which I don't mind that much, but it would be nice to see something different once in a while.
Other than that, acting is good, their training is quite interesting to watch, and I'm excited to see how the FL's and ML's relationship develops.
