Good potential but…

First of all, I enjoyed this drama, but it it had many flaws.
I don’t understand the amount of hate this show got. Why an actress has to apologize for her characters actions, I will never understand. That is acting. They are not the same as the character. Apart from that, I didn’t see a need for even the character to apologize. It may be common in China to obey your parents, but I personally felt that the parents’ requests went too far. They were just as willing to lose her because of their pride, as they were accusing her of being willing to lose her family. If you love your child, you would want them to be happy. I saw online that she was called rebellious and willful, but in my opinion, she was very cowardly. She learned to stand up for herself only towards the end of the drama.

Things I enjoyed:
Overall storyline was good.
Leads acting, started rocky, but improved a lot
Made an effort with the firefighting scenes
I liked the depiction of brotherhood in the firefighting house.
Character development was good with both main characters. Female lead gained a backbone towards the end and male lead became less prideful.
Chemistry between the main characters was OK

Things I disliked:
Waaay too long, could’ve been 20 episodes shorter, I got bored many times
Acting of main male character could’ve been better (although I don’t understand the massive hate, it wasn’t that bad)
The medical scenes were a disaster, they didn’t even try to be medically accurate. In an emergency situation, as a doctor you just don’t stand around stating the obvious.
May be a cultural difference, but as I said before I couldn’t understand the female leads family. They expected a slave instead of a daughter. Why would you be so willing to lose your daughter, just to control her?
The brothers storyline felt weird to me
