I finished all 4 episodes and I still have questions. I think we'll continue to have questions throughout the…
Yes, the honey water was intentional and used as a way to test them out without it being a "real" mission. That's why Tony dumps it out in front of them at the end of the mission. He then goes on to verify on the phone that they are ready for "Real" missions now.
I didn't watch ep 10 yet. Going to get some things done first then watch before bed. I enjoyed ep 9 so much and…
You'll see when you get to ep 10. It's not the parents of any of our characters so far but a one-off character that appears in this episode. They are real pieces of work from the little screen time they had already.
I'm only 2 episodes in but I like it already, just because there's more than just the big rescue mission scene…
I can't help thinking when each one comes on the screen "It's gonna be you, isn't it, anyone but you..." until the next one comes on screen and I find myself repeating the same thing in my head. 😭
I find the fire prevention tips at the end of each episode really interesting & helpful. That’s a cool addition.…
I also thought that was a good addition as it serves a dual purpose of driving home some one the ideas that are touched on in the script itself, such as how to best protect yourself if you DO find yourself in the middle of an earthquake.
All the negative comments start to make it sound like there's something wrong with ME because so far I'm loving this series. And yes, I have seen both A Date With The Future and Fireworks In My Heart. So far this one might even be my favorite.
Someone said they seem to just randomly be throwing characters in and no one is being given a backstory but that's definitely not true as from episode one they worked to introduce most of the characters setting them up for how they would work together.
We know that the boys are orphans but so is Liu Ruyi and all three view the firehouse as their only family. Both Lei Dagang and Yu QiLei are married with LDG having a son about to start school and YQL a daughter who's sick. And really, that's just the start and doesn't even cover the ML or FL.
As for the story being boring... there's tension and drama in every episode so far. Is this a fluffy full on romance drama, no, it's definitely a firefighter drama with romance and I am completely okay with that so far.
Mr. Lou is very obviously into DongDong En. When did he fall? Did I miss it?
I think it was sometime between him getting the fitness tracker and giving it away to his friend. Cause he was like "nope, don't need it, figured out the problem"
I thought Li Chu Yue's antics were sort of cute in the other world but coming back she seems to have a few screws loose. I mean why would she just randomly walk away from the table and pick up a bowl of crabs to bring back to sit in front of her plate? A lot of handwaving going on for this plot right now.
Her: Oh God he's making my life difficult because I got drunk and threw up on him, KMN...
Him: Fondly recalls to friend about her saving his reputation by trying to switch the alcohol for water and felt bad she got so sick she threw up when friend asked why he's giving her preferential treatment...
If the Trial of the Three Realms qualifies you to lead the entire sect, there should be absolutely no favoritism…
In the first trial GZY was led through the mountain because he's not allowed to know the exact path yet and needed to be blindfolded. That wasn't favoritism. It's akin to how both him and YWS were blindfolded and led by Elder Yue in the second trial.
As for YWS being there is a favoritism, any person going through the trials is entitled to have a Green Jade companion come along with them. In GZY case Jin Fan didn't come along but entrusted Green Jade status to YWS, thus allowing her to legally be back there as helper. The other Gongs amd elders know she is going back there and no fuss is made about "someone" being with GZY, only that GSJ finds her suspicious and worries she's a spy.
Finished this in one sitting and now I have a feeling nothing else will compare for a while... The number of times I had to pause as I laughed out loud for way too long alone will have me rewatching this again in the future and reading the manga.
Finally finished. So overall there were a lot of interesting spots where they seemed to be absurdist and parodying other issues with cliches in dramas. But then it would switch to being super serious which left me waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak, but it never did.
By the end the timeline of the whole show made very little sense (even for a comedy). For instance the sister leaves one second and then the next she's been all the way back home and getting announcements of marriage and needs to be rescued. They forget about the ice herb that is supposed to save the ML life for "months" and only finally leave to get it when daddy ALSO needs it. Characters dissappear and pop up elsewhere just to fit the plot then dissappear again.
These things mentioned above would be "fine" if they were poked at and made fun of but they aren't. So it leaves you confused about what's actually going on and fully in the dark about what will happen next simply because it doesn't follow a logical path.
Don't get me wrong, over all I liked the show but I still feel it could have been so much more if it weren't so disjointed in plot and comedic timing in the second half.
And just the fact we'll be starting next episode with her parents again makes me enraged just anticipating the scene to come. 🤬
