Drama Digest

Getting lowlifes is what tough detective Jin Ho Gae is all about. He is very good at understanding crime scenes, can read a criminal’s thoughts, and has a tremendous desire to succeed, all of which help him solve crimes. In contrast, the daring fireman Bong Do Jin is kind to all around him and cares for victims while appearing frigid on the outside. Without pausing, he runs to the firing positions. Song Seol, a sympathetic paramedic who mends wounds while also mends shattered hearts, joins the duo.

The Feel-Good Part

The plot moves quickly and is interesting. Every episode has a separate emergency code with a distinct case, but there is only one main case that is gradually developing in the background, so the spectator never even has a chance to become bored. Even though certain situations can be quite depressing, comic aspects are used to lighten the mood. I became engrossed right away; each episode was thrilling to watch, and each of the cases was intriguing and special. The actors effortlessly embody their characters, and there is wonderful chemistry between them all. It truly is the epitome of immaculate casting. The collaboration between the detectives and the fire crew in order to save lives and solve crimes is one of the many reasons why I enjoy this program so much. The first episode got off to a terrific start, and it kept up that momentum for the remainder of the season. We got a second season even though the final episode ended on a cliffhanger, and I’m really happy about it!

The Disappointing Factor

Even if there are no romantic themes discussed in the program, it was a little disheartening to see romance in it. Although it’s not a romance, this drama does have certain love themes running through it. I enjoy how little impact it has on the storyline. That is extremely organic. It’s a breath of fresh air because I don’t believe there are many dramas that are exclusively about first responders.

In-Depth Analysis

Detective Jin Ho-Gae (Kim Rae-Won) is a professional. He does a good job at it. He doesn’t make friends easily, but he uses his keen perception of crime scenes, ability to read criminals’ minds, and unwavering sense of justice to crack cases. Firefighter Bong Do-Jin (Son Ho-Jun) is employed. He takes pride in what he does. While he is kind to those around him and takes good care of victims, he appears chilly to people. Without pausing, he races to the fire locations. Paramedic Song Seol (Gong Seung-Yeon) is employed. She is compassionate. Together, they begin working on cases in an effort to resolve them and provide the families with justice.

Star Power

Kim Rae Won as Jin Ho Gae, Son Ho Jun as Bong Do Jin, and Gong Seung Yeon as Song Seol are from the main cast of the show and give appreciation-worthy performances. The supporting cast is also worthy of appreciation and mention.

Overall Opinion

Overall, I think it’s a terrific drama and would suggest it to other fans of action thrillers. The drama is entertaining and easy to watch.
