Wrong choice of script?

How many times in a lifetime can you possibly get caught in a fire? I can set aside one when she was at the brigade. When you are in a fire brigade, your chance of being trapped in a fire will also increase. With that in mind, how many times was Nan Chu trapped in a fire? Is it even possible when you're only in your twenties but faced with that many accidents? It's the critical problem that made me can't give them a good score. Please make it more rational if there is a next time.
I like they're using a different story background from others, a firefighter and an artist. They're supposed to be less likely to meet each other at a fire scene by coincidence. The ending is crystal clear to me. In my opinion, it's not an open ending. I don't have any problem with it.
I used to like those epilogue kinds of safety advice. In this drama, they took them way too casually. It seems most of them recorded at their hotel with casual outfits and minimum preparation. I saw many of them only speak as they read the safety info. That makes me skip their safety advice.

ACTING - Huang Jingyu does very well in this drama. He serves his firefighter character nicely. He saved this drama from my dropped drama list. I love his chemistry with his comrades and his two newbie juniors.
Zhang Jing Yi seems like having a wall around her. HJY chemistry keeps hitting the wall. I have high hopes her act will get better after Lighter & Princess. But it turns out I was over-expecting from her.
Shout out to Hu Yi for playing Liu Ruyi's character successfully. I got his comedy and inner conflict messages.

MUSIC - Li Jiawei's "He Comes From The Fire" and Liu Yuning's "Destined" are masterpieces of this drama. Gao Rui's "Star" is like an onion in front of your eyes that goes straight to your heart.

REWATCH VALUE - It's unlikely I will rewatch this drama. I will only watch their short clips at most.
