OK so I have finished the show now and my original worries about it came true, to a certain extent. The FL character only seemed to grow a spine in the last few episodes of the drama and by then she had let so much wrong happen to so many people that she really wasn't likable anymore. I understand where some people are coming from with saying she was basically traumatised and bullied herself.......but I guess personally I expected some character GROWTH over the duration of the drama, and hardly seemed to happen. Yes she would stand up to people in certain situations, but as soon as her family got involved she was stright back to meek and pitiful.........it got a bit repetitive and a bit pathetic towards the end. As did the fact she focused on what she gave up to be with the ML rather than what she got from being with him. She was just an unlikable character........although the actress herself was great at playing her.

The rest of the show got much better though, I just wish they could have written a FL who wasn't so 'woe is me aren't I a victim in everything', the actress deserved better.

-Original review-

I enjoy Yang Yang as an actor and also this genre of TV show. So I was looking forward to watching this. At first it was a great show with the history of the two leads balanced well with the action of the firefighting job Yang Yang's character does. However as it goes on that balance slips considerably, and it's all due to one thing........the FL character.

This FL character is one of the most annoying, naïve and spineless characters I have seen in a while. Herself and the ML where together 10 yrs before the show began and she broke it off, not just that but she was nasty about it, all because of pressure from her family. 10 years later she still likes our ML, who is now a firefighter. Only for some reason she seems to think he owes her an entire history of what he did in those 10 years, as well as taking point in any relationship they may have. This logic escapes me, especially when her family (particularly her mother and brother) are still set against the ML and caves in every time they open their mouth.
She is a character who wants the ML but doesn't want to take any risks whatsoever so for some reason thinks he should do it for her. She has no backbone to stand up to her family, who are oppressive and abusive (her brother obviously wants to be more than just a brother which the mother has figured out but is ignoring) The FL is always playing the victim, when her own actions do nothing to make the ML feel her words can be trusted.
I don't know why such a character got written but I do hope that, in the last half of this series she grows up and learns to stand on her own two feet.

Except for the one character, the rest are well rounded and fun. The serious sides of their jobs can be seen, but so can the humanity of the people behind the uniforms.
The music is nice and the costumes are well done, although sometimes the CG makes you wince.

All in all a decent show.......we will just have to see how the second half goes.
