Same. There are so many dramas where the male lead is a firefighter and the female lead is in a profession that isn't dangerous. It usually involves the male lead getting seriously hurt. Saw this a ton in A Date with the Future and the Flaming Heart. Seems like it'll be the same case for this drama. In fact, judging from the trailers, it seems like one scene in particular is very similar to a scene in the Flaming Heart. I would love to see one where there is a reversal of professions. It would give people something new instead of the same thing.

I just want one drama to come out where it is the female lead in the dangerous job and the male lead is a doctor. Give me something new. Anyone know a drama like this?

It also looks like he will get injured for the millionth time in ep 33/34.

I get it's a firefighter show, but the amount of times the ML almost dies or gets injured is pretty ridiculous and redundant. Some episodes could have switched it around and have the FL be injured instead.

Anyone know a drama similar to this but the FL is in the dangerous profession and the ML isn't?

Yup

Ep 40 death scene was well done and pulled at my heartstrings. That being said, they put too many flashbacks scenes. I'd rather see the scene than have it cut up by a lot of flashbacks.

I appreciate your viewpoint. Perhaps we have different interpretations, and that’s what makes discussing the show interesting.

It’s perfectly fine having different perspectives. Let’s focus on discussing the show rather than resorting to insults.

It also feels a bit repetitive. He almost dies before in episode 27, this episode he appears to her and turns into a dragon, he appears to her and disappears, she tries to save him next episode and he turns into an egg. Too much. I wonder if they'll do the same with her death or if they'll do it rushingly and just have one scene of her disappearing.

There is something about the way they filmed his "death" that took me out of it. I'm unsure if it is because of it being too long, especially her begging, or if it is something else. It just felt stiff or awkward. And the whole flashbacks afterwards and he comes and speaks to her before disappearing from her is just too much and his death too drawn out. He already appeared before her why do it again. Especially because we all know he'll be fine in a couple episodes. They try so hard to make it emotional and dramatic but it falls flat to me.

When I say "betray her," I'm referring to him stabbing her earlier and her being scared of him and him chasing after her. I know he didn't actually betray her. I do not like the Nine Stars plot at all.

I guess you can see it as consistency of character but it just feels like another added trope on top of him "betraying her" and having to ask for forgiveness. It's just hard for me to let go of the novel. BXS didn't exist so it just never would have happened this way.

I saw a comment somewhere on bilibili. He’s being used as a tool. "He appears when you need him to make a match, he appears when you need conflicts between the hero and heroine, and he appears again when you need to face life and death... In the original book, they don't need external factors. It's just that the two hearts that go from suspicion to trust to life and death"

I guess agree to disagree. To me that just makes him a noble idiot.

I'm confused, is that not what I wrote? It would have been logical for him to give YH HPS after he cuts the black flower, but they decided to make it emotional instead and him a noble idiot. If he didn't do it just for her to be free and "happy", than he is too self-sacrificing and thick.

I get what you're saying. But to me, they decided to not do the logical route, which is TY giving HPS to YH, just to get an emotional scene. I understand it shows he is willing to sacrifice himself, but he clearly doesn't need to because of HPS. Maybe if it was a scenario where there wasn't such a clear answer. Which is partly why I said the plot line feels messy. And if TY didn't want to give the HPS to YH because he wants her to be free, he is too self-sacrificing.

Perhaps, but even so, judging from the spoilers she looks like she at least thinks he dies at first. Just like in ep. 27 she thinks he dies when he didn't.

I dislike the whole life-exchange spell thing and seeing how he is going to actually die in just a few episodes it seems to me a little redundant. I feel like the plot line is more convoluted and messy with all this added stuff. I wish I never read the novel because its really making it hard for me to like this with all the changes.

Thanks for letting me know. It seems they are adding a lot that didn't happen in the novel. I just hope they put these two parts from the novel in the show.
