The First Responders

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.

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.

This series has set a new standard for what I expect from K-dramas. I can already feel the withdrawal setting in as I try to find something else to watch that can compare to the brilliance of what I just experienced It was an unforgettable adventure. I wish I could experience the magic of watching this series for the first time again, just to relive those feelings and connections. The impact of this drama is something I can't quite put into words. I've watched many series over the years, but this is definitely the best drama I've ever seen! It's one of those shows that you want to share with everyone you know, to make them feel what you felt, to introduce them to a slice of your new favorite world. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it as soon as possible. I can guarantee that you'll laugh, cry, and be completely absorbed in the incredible storytelling. It's an experience you won't want to miss! T_T.

Korean Drama " First Responders " Season One is a thriller with a well-crafted team of responders.

The drama uses its two main key factors to its fullest. The main team of three was excellent, with their personalities bonding smoothly together and just working out perfectly. Their interactions were entertaining and their chemistry perfect. Though, the romance was an odd choice and it could have worked without it.

The other highlight of the drama was its cases. Each one was interesting to follow, dark and suspenseful, but also emotional and humane.

The performances, in addition, were perfect and enjoyable by everyone in the cast, who acted out their action scenes masterfully.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

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.
