A Rescue Drama That Started Off Good But Had A Sharp Decline Towards the End

If this drama was solely focused about the rescue team like trainings & rescue missions, I would give this a 10/10. However, as you know with dramas, adding background stories of our leads, romance including the leads and 2 other couples, and other drama elements can impact one's final rating depending on where the direction the writer and director takes.

I didn't have no issues with the rescue aspect of this drama. In fact, this was my favorite part of this drama and is why I kept watching it. I like seeing the training scenes. I like the rescue missions as they always kept me anticipating what's going to happen. I like seeing the hardships one goes through when volunteering including losing someone who risked their lives to save others.

Where the drama lost a lot of points for me is the last 10 episodes. Too much was going on and I felt like this could've been easily spread out to several episodes before. Also, I just don't like how this writer wanted to show problems within the last 5 episodes from finale which leads to a rushed ending, an okay ending but definitely not as satisfying as it could've been. An annoying & rude mother in-law which I don't know why the writer thought this was a good idea. It just wasted so much screen time that could've been given to our lead couples and their issues. Also, the lack of communication for the main leads and for them not to support each other and just giving up after encountering their near-death experience with each other. Did our leads forget that? Such bad writing for their characters. What happened to character growth? It's almost like it never happened towards the end.

Overall, the rescue mission scenes are what sold for me to continue to watch it. The actual plot itself was kind all over the place with so many content the writers wanted to show between the 3 couples. Because of this, the main issue revolving our main leads took until the last 10 to 12 episodes to be presented. Great intro & ending credit ost though but not a drama I would rewatch.
