As soon as the first episode aired, the scene where Dr. Thuy received a child patient in the emergency room immediately received mixed reactions from viewers. Thuy Hang said that because it was a specialized field, it was inevitable that she would receive such reactions because the dialogue was too difficult.
"I tried really hard but the lines are very difficult to learn. The lines and actions are all expressed through the eyes. Many times, I learned the lines by heart but when I came to the movie, I forgot everything and couldn't remember anything. Not to mention that the movie had to be made for the audience to watch, so I had to read slowly, I couldn't just skip and read quickly."

The acting is not like an emergency doctor but like an intern; Maybe this is a new topic so the actors' acting is not good enough; It's true that the actors' actions cannot be as professional and agile as real-life nurses and doctors; Hearing the names of the drugs and dosages read is boring; Watching it makes me feel impatient; The movie is true to reality but the female doctor reads the lines of the drug names too slowly; People in the medical industry will feel annoyed when watching the movie... are comments from viewers on a VTV fanpage.
However, there are also more sympathetic opinions from the audience:Acting in a medical film is very difficult; In general, it's difficult for actors to talk about medical orders and drug names, and it's very difficult to speak accurately so that the film doesn't have any mistakes...
Some viewers also compared "Warm Fire" to Korean doctor series currently showing on Netflix and said that doctors in Vietnamese movies are awkward."No comparison, but Korean movies make the audience feel like they're standing right in the emergency room, it's suspenseful, the pace of the movie is too slow." "Stop making movies about the medical industry, you can never act like you're in a hospital, but I've watched many foreign movies where they act like doctors, it's very pleasing to the eye. I know they're actors, but their acting has to be inspiring" is a comment that many people responded to.
