I always appreciate all the production team, crew and cast members of TV series – they worked hard trying to bring good show to the audience. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes not so. But, they’ve worked hard.

Yes, I enjoy watching this drama from the entertainment side. Simple story, short only 24 episodes, good actor Simon Gong which I saw him on Word of Honor and Flavor It’s Yours. Cute Zhang Hui Wen which I saw her in Love a Live Time, Nirvana in Fire 2 and Legend of Fei.

As mentioned earlier, the story is straight forward, that is the life of Firefighter Rescue Unit and the life of their counterpart, that is the doctors and nurses at the emergency hospital. Definitely both sides would intersect and cooperate in the rescue attempt and there will be some interaction amongst them.

This drama involves some rescuing action, whether it is multiple car accident, suicide attempt, raging fire, collapsed building, earthquake disaster, you name it and they got it all. They tried their best to create all the scene as real as possible. Some are good some are not. The scenes involving fire are quite good. While scenes of collapsing building, rumbles, are seen clearly as staged.

Some rescue attempt may seem unrealistic like immediately moving patient without neck support. So those rescue detail may be missing which you may not see in western medical/emergency series.
I praise the performance of Simon Gong who played as Huo Yan. He can bring the character to life with good acting. He can be as firm as a rock, he can be very calm and assessing the situation and make good decision, he can also be quick and decisive when the opportunity occurs, he can also be humorous and childish, he can also looked so worried and vulnerable. So, thumbs up for Simon Gong for his act.

Zhang Hui Wen plays as Yan Lan, a resident doctor. She is cute, fun and beautiful, full of love from parents and being well pampered. She has a huge dream but kind of insecure. Sometimes she can be tough especially in rescuing people and she is too fragile when it comes to saving herself. Therefore when she met Huo Yan character, immediately she felt comfort even when they met she only heard his calming voice.

The chemistry between both actors are good where it can show the sparks in their eyes when they interact.

In terms of the flow of the story, I must admit that some part seems to be skipped. How the relationship between Huo Yan and Yan Lan builds up in the early stages are not clearly depicted. This is either the flaw on script writing or the flaw on editing so some scene maybe missing.

I am amused by this type of story where it show courage, dedication and love to the motherland. Looks like a propaganda for the motherland but who cares, they build into the story very well.

So despite of some flaw here and there, if you are looking for just an entertaining show, this series is sufficient. But if you are a detailed person who are troubled seeing some jumps here and there, looking for a more logic story flow, then you may find it irritating.
