What A Waste of Yang Yang!
Uggghhhhh!!! I was so disappointed! 8 episodes in and I still couldn't like the FL especially when she acted like a high schooler chasing after her crush. Also, I'm really not a fan of how the camera did all this slow zoom-in and out panning on the actors' faces or when panning in on a room. It seemed a bit amateurish. What was with the shower ending scene after the first episode? So out of place and unnecessary. Both of them staring off into nothing in their own shower was so, I dunno, useless? It's like they threw that in randomly to draw in the audience. I almost laughed.All the slow-mo gazes were getting so tiresome. While I'm a big fan of Yang Yang and his acting, as he can pull off any role, I hope that in the future he chooses better scripts that portray a stronger female lead. This drama seems so off balance because of the weak FL's character. I'm not sure if it's the actress and her acting or her portrayal of the FL, but whatever it is, her chemistry with Yang Yang was flat, and the dialogue so bland and tonal. I struggled through this and I honestly wish I hadn't. I gave up after I found myself fast-forwarding.
They had all these so-called dramatic scenes but really, it was a bit over-the-top and ridiculous:
-FL freaking out when her car was getting filled with water but then here comes the ML wading in it, waist high, to come and save her. OMG. It looked so bad.
-The ML running out of a cloud of black and grey smoke with a child in his arms in sloooo-moooo, as the FL stares after him even though she had just finished performing CPR on a patient... seriously? What doctor would shoot lovey-dovey eyes in a situation like that?
-Every time the ML went to the hospital, the FL just happens to be the doctor and even when she had to administer a needle in his butt, apparently there was no privacy because people just walked in through the door.
-The running with the medical antidote like it was some kind of donor transport.
-So many bad hospital scenes and how many times was the FL the doctor who was sent to the site where the firefighters were?
Also, I really didn't like where the storyline was heading. After you find out why ML's mother left and how his father died, why on earth would ML want back his ex who left him similarly? It made ZERO sense. He was obviously traumatized by his past and yet he still pined after someone who really didn't deserve him. And let's not talk about how the FL wanted to work to find her "independence" and not rely on her rich parents, meanwhile living in the fancy apartment her parents got for her. Yeah, right. As a doctor, y'all telling me she couldn't find a place of her own to rent? Sheesh.
Anyways, all this just got me rolling my eyes and I dropped it. While I am a fan of Yang Yang, that doesn't mean I can't dislike dramas that he's in. I don't blame him but in this case, the writing, the actress who played the FL, and the production overall. If it wasn't for Yang Yang, I probably would've rated this lower.

Fireworks Have Never Been So Dull
Great set up for this story. A couple who were once involved being torn apart by some painful action of the past, but who are still obviously drawn to each other in the present. The chemistry between the leads was perfect, but the story was far from it. It spent way too much time on the minutiae of everyday life. Granted saving lives is not minute, but it just wasn't interesting here as it wasn't well balanced with the love story that should've been the driving force behind the series and thus the A story instead of the C or D story. The show spent numerous episodes moving the love story at a snails pace with hardly anything happening and when they did try to put more focus on it the dialogue would be at times cringey. For example when the FL was saved from her sinking car by the ML. After he saved her, carrying her from her car of course, she asked him if he "went through all that trouble to save her because he still cared for her." Sigh. The guy is a firefighter that is his job to save people no matter his personal feelings for them. The FL should've known this best being that she is a doctor. SMH. Anyway, it took nearly 20 episodes for there to be any "significant" movement with this relationship and even what happened was barely a step forward. Once I realized there would be another 20 episodes of nothingness with most of the focus being on the fire or medical emergency of the week I gave up on this.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

A pile of sh** - not worth the watch
Now this is going to be very brutal but I went into this drama with high hopes- I love fast paced action and medical dramas but I don't understand how this drama was able to take that genre and make it slow. Now maybe its too early? Though I'm way too bored to find out. Honestly this drama isn't worth the watch.I love the idea of firefighter and a doctor - they often find themselves at scenes together saving people in their respective ways. I think its one of the only things I enjoyed watching during the episodes I've seen. Her story with her family is just 10 years overdone and mundane. Non of her story is original and nothing special - your average rich parents don't like poor kids. The brother is a total creep (which im kinda glad im frustrated at them because thats the point of their characters).
Now what I am about to say will offend a lot of people but I'm an avid hater of yang yang's acting. I've watched many of his works some of my favourite shows being ones he has starred in however once again his acting really mediocre. I got super excited when i saw the clips of him as a teen in this show- the completely different personality from the rest of his roles i couldn't believe it. That was until i watched the show and realised i had been tricked. He's the same old "I'm dark and mysterious. I only have one facial expression" LIKE WE GET IT- i just want something different from him? but here he is stuck in another serious character. NOW I KNOW- I've seen the clips of their couple scenes and I haven't got there yet I don't even think i can finish it.
I've never seen any of Wang Churan's works before and her acting wasn't terrible but at times I found she spoke too softly/quiet which really didn't reflect her character. Though she's the reason I gave it 1.2 stars for acting.
I think the main problem i have with this show is that it's too dull. I get this is adapted from a web novel so thats probably where my main problems lie but how did they make it so boring? Maybe because its 40 episodes long (thats pretty average for cdramas ngl) but they drag out minor plot points and make them so long. I dont know how many times ive said this but its so BORING-
If you're into slow (tedious) romance with action (barely) scenes then this is totally for you. If you like shows that put you on edge this isnt for you. Run while you can.
Sorry i just read a spoiler WHO TRIED TO KILL WHO? WHAT IS THIS SHOW?

Un drama abandonné sans regret.
Les raisons qui me poussent à abandonner ce drama ?- Un personnage féminin toxique et qui avait déjà le don de me taper sur les nerfs. Si tu veux revenir vers celui que tu aimes, soit! Mais fais le en assumant les responsabilités. Fais le avec l'idée de te battre de toutes forces pour le garder. Fais le avec rage. Avec assurance. Sans jamais faillir!!! (oui, cela m'énerve d'autant plus que j'écris en écoutant la bande son de "Shining for one thing", si au moins la nénette avait la moitié du courage de Wan Shen). Au lieu de cela, elle vient, s'impose comme une fleur, sans même s'excuser de ce qu'elle a fait, sans chercher à réparer... Le pire? Croire que c'est un acquis et bouder quand cela ne fonctionne pas....
- De facto, une romance avec une alchimie au ras des pâquerettes, où chaque interaction entre nos deux protagonistes frôle le zéro....On a juste envie de voir Yang Yang la virer pour de bon, tourner la page et se trouver une autre nana.
- Je ne sais pas si le jeu de l'actrice y est pour quelque chose, mais je dois avouer que son jeu est plat avec des gestes mécaniques et d'une lenteur effarante. Le ton de sa voix n'exhale pas non plus d'émotions, nous finissons par la croire inexistante. Quant à Yang Yang, si j'ai trouvé son jeu très bon dans "Glory of Special Forces", je pense que lui faire jouer ce type de rôle c'est un peu comme le rétrograder : peu de subtilité dans son personnage et de profondeur. C'est dommage, je pense que le synopsis était intéressant, en tout cas, c'est le type d'intrigue qui peut me faire fondre (depuis "Descendant of the sun" en fait).
- J'étais ravie de savoir Vin Zhang de la partie. Quelle déception, il n'a qu'un rôle mineur et dérisoire.
- Des personnages secondaires qui n'ont pas réussi à faire décoller mon intérêt, que cela soit chez les pompiers ou chez les proches.
En conclusion, un drama abandonné sans regret.

The many faces of Yang Yang
The first time I saw Yang Yang was in cdrama "You are my glory". I was blinded by his beauty, entertained by the story, but I found him and his acting a little stiff. It seemed like he had just one or two expressions and kept using them over and over again.Then I started this drama and found a versatile actor, able to portray the different stages and attitudes of a boy growing up, facing hardship and finding his way in the world despite everything.
FL was very good too and I really appreciated her duality: strong and resolute in her job, fragile and insecure in her private life.
Leaving aside action and hospital scene, which weren't so realistic (and the toxic mother which we are unfortunately used to), the relationships portrayed are quite realistic and engaging.

Journey of firefighters
Before this drama ,I had watched "A Date With the Future'. So in this drama I I didn't find anything new. The same hard journey of fire fighters . Here one thing is different that in this drama it had shown that why Song Yan had chosen this field before he was soldier and then fire fighter and his love life also been shown . This drama also shown some of their college life . This drama also shown that the rich and poor problem that they can't be one ,there is a big difference between them .I had some expections with the end parts ,first I wanted to see their marriage ,second her brother's love story and third ML lead friend ,Suo Jun . I felt upset when Zhan Da Peng's character died . He was the cutes among all and this character's love story was about to start and he died and I also cried with everyone.
I liked the drama.

My Favorite Of All Time
I recently bought about 200 Chinese dramas on eBay over the past 3 months, and I had a very hard time deciding which ones to watch first. I’m happy I chose Fireworks of My Heart. This drama checked every single box for me: romance, bromance, action, drama, heroism, etc. Wang Churan is tall, light-skinned and beautiful, and that matches well with Yang Yang’s great looks. Both of them acted very well. I liked the supporting casts as well. This drama had a lot of touching and moving scenes. The storyline had me engrossed from the beginning to the end. I love this drama more than I can say.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

slowburn second chance romance story
i just finished the drama, and i can say this is one of the best cdrama this year. i read the novel before watching this drama, and i assure you, yangyang and wang churan did a great job portraying song yan and xu qin characters. what i loved the most from this story is how flawed this two characters are, as a result from getting hurt in the past. other actors are great too!!! hence 10/10 for the casting!!for the story, i think it depends on one’s personal preference. this drama had every troupe i personally like; slow burn, second chance romance, angst and head over heels ml, so i really loved how the story goes. the first 10 episodes are very slow, but i think if you can watch it to the end of 10th episode, where xq confront sy, you can really see why xq hesitated to pursue sy. there are many fillers ep too which i think they can cut down to 2 eps, but i still think its watchable.
the reason i cant give this drama full marks is because of the directing and music. i personally think the directing sucks big time (like the camera angles and music cue??) and kinda ruined my watching experience. what makes me going on is bcs of the actors’ performance, especially wang churan and wei daxun.
all in all, FOMH is a very good drama that can be perfect with better directing. i’m aware of the criticism surrounding the drama but i think 80% is just pure hate. so just try and watch this!!!

Just watch it already
I used to skip or fast watch chinese drama because of the episode and plotline that circles around with no reason at all. But this, i totally understand everything they do (unless his decision to not move to the office, it's kinda unaceptable for me. But it's there for a plot reason right). Their development is just perfect, not to fast not to slow. The story about firefighter itself is great and tearbreaking.It's missing point five for me because i think tbh, most of the ML is critical situation he should be dead atleast two times. first is when he traped in the ruin (he doesnt wear his helmet on) and second is when he inhaled arsenic (maybe he was safe, because he got his oxygen mask which slow down the effect of the toxic) anyway his plot armor is the best lol. But that's just my opinion, without that this drama would be a perfect 10/10 for me.
Plus, YangYang is sooo good looking and their (FL & ML) chemistry... hehehe make me giggle like i am in love myself.

Through the roof kinda of Chemistry
23 july 20238.75 ✨
I loved todays episode a lot even though i didnt it finish it coz i am taking my time with it especially since tomorrow is sunday and there will be no new episode.
I cried a lot when xu qin said to yang that she will be alone if he dies as his family are nice and accommodating of her because of him.
I just love her. Jayo! Xu qin
Also song yan is setting standards soo high lol, he is soo nice to her and just loves her whole heartedly. And the he just recognizes things about her with her telling him is just lovely. Like how he told her to go to her family since its new years and he knows she misses them even though he doesnt like them.
Should i again say i love xu qin, she is just lovely, her cold yet vulnerable and cute personality is killing.
Anyway, u know what i realized that song yan and xu qin relationship is really the most healthy relationship ever given their background.
Like the fact that she can raise her voice ( complaints ) against him without cowering like she is with her family may annoy some viewers or think she is taking advantage of him but to me it shows the kind of relationship they have. Its not toxic in the sense that she doesn't expect him to retaliate in a negative way like threaten get or manipulate her.
Anyway, her concerns are valid. And some may say y get involved with a firefighter to begin with if u cant handle the problems, and as logical as that sounds, most people really don't see those things when they r falling in love or pursuing someone thats y the phrase love is blind exists. It just is very realistic thats why a lot of couples face such problems after the rosey stage ends.

Finished
Overall good.
The story could use some improvement like the mother should have faced consequences for her cruelty but it felt like they changed her personality to fit into a digestable mother figure but then it is a c drama intended for the Chinese audience so i get. At least they included the rescueing of the mother so that she can appreciate song yan and his job.
Anyway, i liked the couple / main characters story as individuals was way better than the overall story. But the firefighters have a special place in my heart.

Você pode chorar
Injustiças, desaforos, brigas, superação, amor que supera o tempo, muito drama familiar. Essa seria uma boa forma de resumir tudo o que se passa na história do casal.Não sei até que ponto a rotina dos bombeiros retradada se aproxima na realidade mas, com certeza aumentou meu respeito não só pelos servidores mas como por suas famílias, que devem viver ansiosos quando algo acontece!
Reviravolta? Check! Quem diria que teríamos uma grande aproveitadora sondando e que seu disfarce seria tão bom...
