Firefighting and romancing
I finished watching this drama yesterday. Few sub-plots seem to have been stolen from the show 'You are my Hero'. I liked it and found it watchable. However, what I didn't like about this drama is:
1. Character development was pretty slow for the supporting cast. For example, the story of The big brother of our FL, XU QIN and the bar waitress girl could have been given a romantic angle, but it ended poorly by the good waitress girl gone bad, pressing molestation charges on him. In the last episode, however, they bring her for a scene, only to lead it nowhere. What a waste of character!
2. Too much adulation for fire fighters and their work. Well, no exaggeration. It was too much to handle. The city seems to be on fire and it's citizens in trouble all the time, all because firefighters have to rescue them. ?. In one of the episodes, a group of 4 firefighters go to a shop just to catch a spider. ?♀️
3. The story of Li meng and Jiyang yu never took off until a slight glimpse of their possible future romance in the last episode. Their romance could have been written and played during the show.
4. Why kill the Cute firefighter Da Peng when he was about to convince the girl, he was in love with, to be with him. This was totally unnecessary.
5. Yang Yang landing in hospital every now n then, only to be treated by our FL, XU QIN. C'mon! ?
6. I didn't understand the equation and understanding between FL and her brother with their parents. One moment, they're infuriated by their parents, and in the next moment they all are having dinner. One moment the big bro of our FL is leaving home, telling his mom that How terrible she has been as a mother, and in the next moment, they are sitting across from each other as if nothing at all happened.
7. There's a scene where our FL, XU QIN, leaves her Home n Car keys at her parents' home, as she decides to leave the house given to her by her parents. But next day, she's in that same home packing her belongings and getting ready to move. I wonder if she had an extra key.
Despite all this, there's a sensitive topic this drama has brought up, the emotional damage caused by the controlling and emotionally unavailable parents, and how children, inspite of being adults with successful careers, still feel controlled by their parents.
