A Good Start But Lost Interest Quickly
Honestly, I was excited but also hesitant to try another firefighter theme drama but sad to say, I'm disappointed how this ended up with the amount of episodes I've seen. It started off pretty good. A firefighter team trying to recruit more members, sees potential in the childish ML, recruits him and others to go through a training process. But see, the problem here is they rushed this part. Just like "The Flaming Heart", when you rushed scenes, the drama ends up being a mess as the writer here is trying to put too many ideas. The flow just messes up and this is how you start to lose interest. The editing and transition from scene to scene seemed similar to The Flaming Heart and if you've seen that, then you know how bad it is, as there are lot of times when you're watching this drama, things that happen seems random or out of place.
So, I stuck through "The Flaming Heart" because I ended up being too invested into the characters despite the poor plot and transition. This drama on other hand didn't do that for me and I just lost interest completely. What confirmed it for me is checking the last episode and SPOILER ALERT, the second ML dies so our secondary couple doesn't get a happy ending. It was already a lost of interest for me when my favorite side character dies early in the drama but seeing this just made my decision to not continue this drama.
I had hope for this drama to show the journey of the ML on becoming a firefighter. Like how he was like before (which they did sort of showed this), how he is during the training, his first mission, his hardships, the solutions to his hardships, etc, but this drama just doesn't do that. The FL's character is also very lacking, as the way the writer presented her, I didn't really care much when it came to her scenes.
I keep comparing the 2 firefighter theme dramas in this review but they each have their differences in their own way. Despite the poor plot, poor writing, & bad transitions both dramas have, if I had to pick one from the two, I would say "The Flaming Heart" is slightly better than this one. But again, that's just my preference.
