Watch for the thrills, not the romance
OVERALL
It's a decent disaster drama but a subpar relationship drama so watch it if you're into the former, not the latter.
THE STORY
There are things I really like about this drama. Three, to be exact. First, female lead is probably the most mature I've seen. I LOVE how she is completely unbothered by the cliché third-wheel girl who's convinced she can get Male Lead even though he doesn't want her. Female Lead has zero insecurity around the relationship and saves us from the usual jealousy scenes. She also has a lot of self-respect and dignity and doesn't let people trample all over her. Secondly, I really appreciated the representation of people with "disabilities" through Male Lead's sister who is deaf. What I like is that they didn't confine her to a bubble, she ended up being just like any other character and having her own love story. The third thing I really liked was precisely her love story, which is really cute and relatively drama free. Apart from these three things, I also enjoyed the disaster situations in which the main cast was found and seeing some of the work rescue teams do to help people. This drama really makes you appreciate the effort of people who put their lives at risk every day to save complete strangers.
But there are many issues with this drama that were just hard to swallow. First, I wasn't a huge fan of Male Lead. He's not terrible, I've seen worse, but he doesn't come off as supportive of Female Lead and some of the thing he does, especially towards the end...it's just a letdown. I couldn't appreciate the character afterwards. Secondly, the main love story is pretty much a fail. It starts out fine, then becomes increasingly watered down so that by the end you don't feel a thing for the OTP. There aren't many emotional scenes, there isn't much skinship either, it's just underwhelming. Lastly, there's a third couple that is absolutely insufferable and is getting WAY too much screentime in my opinion (especially in the second half of the drama).
Overall, it's a decent filler. Feel free to watch when you're bored. Just don't expect too much and don't come in for romance.
THE ACTING
Ok.
THE MUSIC
Ok.
REWATCH VALUE
Not very high.
