Almost about firefighters
I have to admit my disappointment with this drama.
The cast is amazing, the potential for stories with a subject like a fire station is enormous...
In the end, many episodes are spent talking about internet backlash. When there are fires, the writers don't know how to tell a story... they just film empty scenes without any plot.
Managing a fire depending on the location, the type of building, the teams, the evacuations of the injured, the deployment of resources, the strategy implemented... there's so much they could have told, but it's completely empty.
We see images of people drinking and eating between explosions, but the story has no substance.
What a shame.
Then... the annoying things:
- I have a big problem with inconsistencies, and yet I also have a margin of tolerance, but the girlfriends waiting for their boyfriends at the barracks... even worse, when they get off the truck... I don't know many countries where families are allowed, and in China, military tradition forbids civilians from wandering around as they please!
- The whole bit with the petty squabbles between female characters... It's a cliché I could do without in 2026...
- Everyone walking on the wooden floor of the dance studio with shoes on... It's a small detail, but it wasn't hard to think of. Speaking of which, it's a shame they didn't cast an actress with some dance experience (they must have existed) because it's terribly obvious that she doesn't know anything about it (or they should have found her another job... she should have gone into theater).
- Is there an hospital where no doctors are here or at least come when the patient wakes up to explain the situation ? Apparently here it's the coworker and the coworker's girlfriend who do it. (why was is also tagging along in the most inapropriate place ... ?)
