The best of the fire fighter show IMO

I didn’t watch A Date With the Future but I watched Fireworks Of My Heart and I will tell you, IMO this one is much better than FOMH, especially in the acting department, the acting in this is very good, the emotions from the actors especially the ones portraying the fire fighters was really impressive. I really didn’t care much for the 2 young newbie fire fighters, they just didn’t do anything for me.
This series was really good until about ep30 or so, it just veered into the ridiculous, so called paparazzi or media people were constantly following Lin and Nan Chu everywhere that they could hardly see each other but he could suddenly go out with Director Lou in ep35 to eat and drink and not one paparazzi in sight, I guess this plot line didn’t need paparazzi to moves things along, deep sigh

This next part is not really only about this drama but CDramas in general.
It wouldn’t be a CDrama without the breakup trope at close to the end of the drama. Then few episodes to the dramas end, viola the couples will comeback together and everything will be magically alright in CDramaLand and they will live happily ever after, and all the things that supposedly plagued the relationship which caused the breakup are almost never even brought up or acknowledged and hardly ever resolved but it will suddenly not be an issue anymore, would you care to be illuminated on the reason why, get your popcorns ready (although I doubt you will have enough time to take more than a bite as the reason is quite short), the singular reason ladies and gentlemen is that the allotted episodes for the drama has been fulfilled and it’s time to wrap up production, oh how incredulously ridiculous.

Anyways back to the drama, I have 5eps left to finish this, I have read the reviews so I kinda know how this ends so I am mentally preparing myself for it.
Although the last few episodes haven’t been that good a viewing experience for me, overall I have enjoyed this drama, I very much doubt I will be rewatching this but there was no way I wasn’t watching this once as it features one of my fave CDrama actor & actress in Johnny and Zhang Jing Yi, so do I recommend for a one time watch? you betcha I do.
Rewatch Value 6/10
Overall Value 8/10.
