I'm really satisfied with this drama.

UPDATE AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA
It's not a romance, but we do have some love thread in the background in this drama. It doesn't affect the plot too much and I like that. It is very natural. I don't think there are many dramas that are all about first responders, so it's a breath of fresh air.

The subplot involving Ho Gae's father was not disturbing after all. It was even interesting and added something to the plot.

I really enjoyed the first season and can't wait for the second season since the end was a total cliffhanger.

UPDATE AFTER I WATCHED 3 EPISODES
Rating: 9/10

I really like the idea of having separate cases in each episode. I'm enjoying this part of the drama. Each episode gets better and better in this regard.
However, I don't like the parts with Ho Gae's father's shady actions and people related to him. At the moment I feel that they are completely uninteresting and unnecessary. I'm afraid it might make this drama worse. Since this subplot has already occurred, I hope that it will not be too disturbing or will somehow become interesting.

AFTER WATCHING 1 EPISODE
Rating: 9/10

For now, I'm satisfied enough with this drama, and I hope it stays that way.

I like the slightly dark visuals of the episode combined with the calm scenes while eating.

[Very little spoiler. The situation takes place in the first 20 minutes of the first episode.]
Honestly, I don't think the scene where the victim casually left the room and started looking around the apartment was that weird. She might not be thinking straight if the culprit gave her some drugs. Also, she was very careful at first and didn't see anyone in the room when she peeked through the door and that's why she came out. Then the culprit showed up and she couldn't think straight due to the shock, so she didn't try to run away right away.
This explanation works for me for now, but I'll see how things go on in the next episodes.

The first episode was engaging and I'm looking forward to the next ones.
