Cast--Vin Zhang as Suo Jun is particularly good--

I've seen him before, I think in a fantasy where he plays a man carrying around a dead baby.
He and the male lead look alike, but he is taller and his face is softer--which suits their roles as the Male Lead played by Yang Yang and Vin Zhang plays his side kick or deputy.
The male bonding or bromance, as these friendships are now called, is particularly well-written and played.
In episode 8, Vin Zhang as Suo Jun talks in a young girl from the ledge of a shopping mall.
In this episode which ends with Suo Jun retiring from the Firefighters, VZ does such a good job he could be "stealing the Oscar" from Yang Yang.
Of course, in real life there are many specialists who talk in wannabe suicides from high places.
One famous one has talked in dozens from the Golden Gate Bridge, and I've even written a scene in which someone like him saves a girl? --this oddly enough in a fantasy I am still working on involving garudas and other fantastic beings including a talking skull.
I must look at this piece of speculative fiction again.
