    Wow ! A pure adrenaline led suspenseful K drama

    I just finished watching a detective K Drama and searched online to see what I could watch next .

    First Responders came up in most lists so I thought I would give it a chance even though I wouldn't ordinarily select this type of genre .

    Wow and double wow !

    I was hooked .

    Sheer adrenaline and suspenseful once you pass the first few episodes which all had important stories to tell.

    As the series progressed, I grew to love each character development and storylines.

    The female lead was just too accomplished to believe to be true and the camaraderie a bit too unbelievable? ( Perhaps it is something we would all love to be part of - a cooperative team which respects one another and takes on responsibilities? Ah well, a lovely dream ...)

    I enjoyed the CSI approach and learnt some new things myself ha ha ha...

    Series 2 was non stop suspense and a shocking outcome occurred early in the series ...how could that be ? I think I cried for most of the following episode.

    The last episode of S2 seemed a bit rushed and missing a section, but still wrapped everything up nicely. ( I understand there were delays to filming and release due to ill health/stress caused by filming the series ) .

    Although there aren't many reviews on IMBD , there are plenty of backfill stories and cast information on other ( mainly Korean) sites .

    I hope they bring out a Series 3 and keep as many characters as they can .

    A great series with great drama, varying storylines, comedy , heart warming camaraderie and feel good vibes.

    Pretty good

    I didn't think I would binge watch the whole season but I did. Although semi concentrating on it.

    I also had a vibe that this series is similar to partner for justice (another one of my fave series), only to find out later that it is by the same writer.

    Although I do think partner for justice is better. I was expecting more of interesting cases - instead it focussed more on the detective. And the love story is pretty strong in this one compared to partner for justice.

    Overall not a bad watch. Maybe the writer should just make a detective story next, considering the pattern of her work. I'll be tuning in for s2 for sure.

    Really great 😍

    A series without any dragging and without a moment of boredom, Very enjoyable, with astonishing details and wonderful stories

    Most importantly, it has no inappropriate scenes and is perfect for family gatherings

    The series closely portrays the tasks of firefighters and detectives, showing how they rush to save people, the obstacles they face, and how they act quickly and wisely

    This amazing series has rekindled my passion Thank you, Korea, for this wonderful series All age groups can watch the series, keeping in mind that it contains violence and bloody scenes that may not be suitable for children.

    The front line

    The story as the title suggests looks at the work of the Police, Fire and Medical services. The acting is superb and the plot has many interesting incidents concerning the various teams which as you would expect are all wrapped up and solved. I must admit after two series I was a little tired of the constant heroics of the indestructible lead actors. I think if the had dialled it back a little and spent more time on the bonds between them and their personalities it would have been better. It is still worth a watch and even though it is over the top it reminds us we should be thankful to those people who are in the front line.

    Yes!

    This is definitely going to be worth your time if you love series that has to do with hospital workers, firefighters or the police force.

    It's captivating and eventful. A bit funny sometimes. Also a tiny sprinkle of romance (Wish it was more of that though.)

    Awesome serie with absolutely brilliant actors! The theme song is lovely as well. Can't wait until the new season comes out!! :D

    (This part of the review is just a filler, because apparently we can't decide for ourselves anymore how short/long the reviews are going to be, and I don't really have anything more to write, sooo...+×,>^+,,.)
