The First Responders (2022– ) User Reviews

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 8/10 · 25 February 2023]

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.

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.

The best o 2023 Drama!

Let's say this kind of serie is very common, but usually they doesn't have three different "First Responders" working so well together, and with such a amazing Chemistry even on point in every situation.

This is definitely not your average KDrama, full of cringy romantic scenes and the usual on and off love history.

The second season was a rollercoaster even better than the first one, a lot of tears it's what I can say about the beginning of the second season, but ends with a miscellaneous cases of different types of Police series with quick-witted cases, making sense of the fire department working with the PD and the NFS, it's easier to make the last two work at the same cases but have the Fire department within also, was a great demonstration of expertise, with a fulfilling end and great performances of all cast. Rae-won Kim was brilliant, his performance was one of the greatest one's I ever watch.

Totally worth it Show.

One of the best Korean series

Idk why this film was so underrated!!! Everything was absolutely beautiful and well-written. I love its color, its plot, its characters and everything else. You will be surprised at the development of Korean forensic science, at how people can be so dangerous and terrible, at the existence of such brave and warm-hearted firefighters, etc. There aren't so much romantic in season 1 (that also means I think there will be a lot more in season 2) but we can all feel their feelings towards each other through their eyes. Definitely a must-watch!!! Though the actors and actresses aren't so famous internationally, they made the characters feel so real. I even thought someday I can meet somebody like them in real life. Again YOU SHOULD WATCH IT NOWWW!!!

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...+×,>^+,,.)

Season 3, please!

Fantastic series!! Full of emotional scenes, deep friendships, gritty fiery crime scenes, crime stoppers and those brave firefighters!! But...WAY TOO MUCH graphic autopsies! (Even if the producers showed us how genius makeup artists can create dummies that look EXACTLY like the actors...great move at the final scenes! Now, I won't get too "sick" when I watch medical dramas..haha.) The acting was excellent throughout and I loved seeing my favorite Kim Rae Won as the loveable JinDog/HoGae. He needs to do more detective roles in the future! The rest of the cast were fabulous, most especially Son Ho Jun, who did very little in Season 2, which was surprising, and Kang Di Goon (MyungPil) who showed good comedic timing throughout. Gong Seung Yeon (Seul) did very well even if she was overpowered by two gorgeous men. Bravo to all hard-working actors, director and producers! Bravo to the orchestration and song for the OST. Season 3...here you go!!!
