Primo Soccorso (2022)

Se avete amato tutte quelle serie americane come Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, 911 e Criminal Minds, non potete assolutamente perdervi questo spettacolo. Per la prima volta da tempo mi sono sentita nella mia totale comfort zone. Qui davvero c'è di tutto, è anche parecchio cruento a volte quindi per le persone troppo sensibili metterei un freno alla visione. Per tutti gli altri, invece, un'unica raccomandazione: non siate troppo pignoli su alcune cose. In vero, non ce ne sarà nemmeno il tempo perchè questo drama va alla velocità della luce con continui colpi di scena, suspense, azione, congetture, e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Esiste un filone romantico ma è davvero il nulla in confronto al resto, non fa "rumore" e non getta nell'ombra e alle ortiche tutta l'altra parte. Altra cosa che ci tengo a sottolineare, nonostante si parli di primo soccorso, è che c'è una forte componente poliziesca che a volte sovrasta vigili del fuoco e medici; ma dopo i primi due ep non ci ho fatto più caso in quanto la cosa funziona talmente bene che non mi ha dato alcun fastidio.
La recitazione è al top, il sentimento di famiglia è forte, la crescita dei rapporti di fiducia è evidente.
Non vedo l'ora che arrivi la seconda stagione anche in Italia perchè voglio assolutamente andare avanti.

A gripping action-thriller that deserves more recognition!

If you’re one of those people that wants to find logic in every fictional drama or you’re a nitpicker, then I suggest you to skip this. However, if you’re someone who just enjoys the ride, likes to watch gripping and entertaining dramas with an amazing cast and well-written story, without searching for every little flaw in every episode, you should definitely check this one out!

Thankfully I’m in the latter category, that’s probably the reason why I could enjoy it to the fullest and became one of my favourite shows of all time. This drama has everything: action, suspense, crime, investigation, mystery, humour, teamwork, romance and is very informative, you can learn a thing or two. Everything is nicely balanced. What else could a viewer possibly wish for?

Acting:
The acting here is one of the best I’ve seen this year alongside with Reborn Rich. The definition of perfect casting, all characters have great chemistry with each other and everyone embodies their character smoothly, it just feels so natural. But I have to give an extra applause to Kim Rae Won as he plays this crazy mutt detective role so well, making him stand out from the rest of the cast. Not to mention he has this indescribable charm to him.

Story:
The story is fast-paced and intriguing. They’re showcasing different emergency codes with different cases in every episode, while there’s 1 main case slowly unfolding in the background, so the viewer doesn’t even have time to feel bored. Some cases might be very sad, but the comedic elements are present to balance out the mood. I was hooked from the beginning, every episode was an exciting watch and all the cases were interesting and unique. One of the reasons I absolutely adore this show, is the teamwork, how the fire crew and detectives work together to save people and solve cases. The first episode started off strong and remained like that for the rest of the season, the last episode ended with a cliffhanger, but we get a second season and I’m so excited for that!

Relationships:
The relationship between the main leads develop naturally and for the best throughout the series, the different cases and life threatening situations make them form a strong bond by the last episode. There’s also a little love triangle, but I wouldn’t even call it like that, because it is very obvious what’s one-sided and what’s mutual. The romance part isn’t forced, it’s depicted genuinely and developed slowly. No need to worry if you’re not into romance because, although there is a romantic undertone, it doesn’t overshadows the main plot.

The music is catchy and very nice, matching well with the scenes, paints a picture of the drama every time you listen to it, it’s not overused nor placed in scenes where it’s not needed.

Overall, it is an above average, great watch I would recommend to my fellow action-thriller lovers. I do wish to see more bromance moments between Hogae and Dojin after they sort things out, and my ship sailing in the next part.
