A surprising show that stole my heart
Fair warning if you come into this drama hoping for some cute mindless romance, you will sorely be disappointed, this is not it, the things our lovers have to overcome to be together is as innumerable as their love for each other. FOMH is part romance, part action, and part slice-of-life
FOMH undoubtedly had a high budget, true that sometimes high budget doesn’t equate to high quality. But not-to-fret FOMH is clearly a beloved child of the PD. It has a high production value, beautiful well thought-off shots and a carefully plotted sequence with a proper build-up. If I have to be picky the transition sometimes can be a bit jarring.
I sped read the novel after I finished the drama. This drama is based on the novel, but the PD & scriptwriter created their own versions of the story and characters. This is a common practice and honestly this time I don’t mind it at all, in my opinion the changes are for the better especially since this is made for television. And frankly many things in the novel will have no chance to pass censorship. The drama kept key lines from the book verbatim and they followed the narrative trajectory closely.
A big part of the drama is about our leads profession as a firefighter and a doctor especially the firefighters team. From their training to their missions, from small dispatched to handle a spider to a high risks missions of disasters rescue and high rise building fire. I can only imagine how hard the conditions were during shooting, I saw some of the bts and they were using real fires. Kudos to all the cast, and crews, your hard work pays off because the actions are top notch.
In FOMH we see people at their worst and we see people at their best in the face of disaster, not everything is black and white in the world of FOMH, for examples when the team rescued a group of students missing in the mountains, their parents were ungrateful and the missing kids also behaved abhorrently. On another memorable case with the bus falling of a cliff accident, the person hailed as a hero for rescuing the passengers turned out to be a con man, this is a recurring theme throughout the show, that people are complicated, humans are not purely evil or purely good. How people should answer for their crime but also we shouldn’t write them off as a person.
Since FOMH is a 40 episodes drama, they didn't skimp. There are a lot of issue that they tackled here, from the training in details, the aftermath of a particularly difficult mission, the trauma. It made me appreciate and respect firefighters and search and rescue team even more.
Besides the main lead the show also introduced us to tons of supporting casts surrounding them, you will get to know and care about their story too.
Last but not least our main characters Song Yan and Xu Qin played by Yang Yang and Wang Churan. First of all whoever decided to cast the two of them together bravo *clap clap*. Visually these two are as beautiful as you can get and the icing on the cake is their chemistry is off the charts. They're the best part of the show for me. Their characters and their relationship are what makes me fall in love with this drama. They're what makes this drama 10/10 for me.
