Overall, a well executed drama
In my opinion, this series outperformed its predecessors featuring firefighters. It's unfortunate that it was released after a wave of similar-themed dramas.I found this drama highly enjoyable because it focused on the lives of the firefighters and their families, depicting the challenges they face. It included both uplifting moments and incredibly heart-wrenching scenes, including my interpretation of the conclusion for the main characters.
The romantic aspect was well-executed, offering profound and realistic insights into the lives and relationships of the firefighters. Additionally, the fire safety tips provided were valuable. The entire cast, including the leads and supporting actors, delivered impressive performances.
Overall, it was a well-crafted drama.
Truly, this show deserves a higher rating!

Its amazing, give it a try!
I really enjoyed this drama. I first started off because of Wang Zi Qi and I ended up loving Johnny. Yes my first Johnny Huang drama. I felt that this drama is a little more to reality - some parts maybe a little over exaggerated (I'm not sure, like no leaves at all for the fire fighters).What I love about this show is that they showed the city and forest fire fighting. Less love story which I enjoyed.
It does show the pain and struggles of the fire fighters and how they have each other's back.
I really love how Johnny carried the character too and all his brothers in the show.
People will definitely compare this drama with Yang Yang but I feel this is a little more realistic.
Give it a try its really worth it. Can just skip all the dance part >.<

Wasted my time and resource
Not because of the ending, celebrity and firefighter romance(-1)and in the comments saw a they separated in EP 34. Everything is compare to very lazy writing. This drama doesn't deserve more than 7-7.5 . Halfway i feel tired and thought how to speed up the watch, but it ended as failure."Fireworks of my heart "better than this compare to the story. The story needs a strong factor gives an aspiration to viewer for watch the each episodes, that aspiration is missing in my case in this drama. This type of story needs a well balanced structure, includes main protagonists relationship and other factors.

My Dark Eyes For U
Literally, I have become a hound for all the Firefighter Rescue genre Chinese Dramas. The Chinese have this genre down to a Science, with thrilling action, unusual romance plots, and fantastic cinematography. The Chinese have been pulling out their heavy hitter A-lister actors for the starring roles in this popular genre. The latest of this genre is Bright Eyes in the Dark. You can not get more A-Listed than Johnny Huang (Moonshine and Valentine) and Zhang Jing Yi (Lighter and Princess). The cinematography is through the roof, with contrasts and shades and camera angles. The action is quite dramatic and compelling. You totally feel the emotions of the Firefighters who really need to put emotions aside. You just can’t save everyone. There is a golden 72 hours after a disaster event where Firefighters may work without sleep to save who they can. The objective of this drama seems to be “to go bigger and better than what has been done before”. I am just getting started and have viewed the 10 episodes dropped. I don’t know yet if this one will exceed “Fireworks of My Heart”. However, I was crying in the first 15 minutes. It is a blazing “go” for me.There is always low drama times, when the firetrucks are in the station and the drama pays attention to character building. But when the trucks roll out, the high drama action begins.
Alert ! ! ! At the end of each episode you get practical tips for surviving a fire or disaster. This is a first for a Chinese drama, that I have seen. I found the tips helpful and useful BTW.
Alert ! ! ! The Female Lead is a modern Dancers by profession. This is an occupation I have not seen covered in an Asian drama. There are modern dance sequences too.

Series all about the glory of firefighters, enhanced by a lovely romance.
PLOT: fairly classical romance between a firefighter ML and a dancer FL, whom he saved 5 years earlier. The series follows the evolution, the life of a team of firefighters, with all the cases and possible intervention issues. The prevention measures are very detailed (clip at the end of each episode).But :
+ the story is remarkably well written, with deep themes (family pressure, suicide, disability, mourning, etc.) and a good psychological analysis. All of these themes are treated with finesse, sensitivity and a lot of humanity.
+ There are a lot of hard times (they work in the firefighters world) but solidarity, team spirit, brotherhood, are well highlighted.
+ The CL brings a little sweetness to the story. Their interactions are natural, mature, and it feels good!
+ The CGI is exceptional: you have the impression of being at the heart of the action.
However :
- The shortcomings of the health system are obvious: little support for serious illnesses, no measures (prosthesis arrives very late :( ) in the event of disability...
- some coincidences are very "dramaland": the FL in possession of her mother's diary, when the ML reads the FL father's diary???
- the means deployed in the forest fires seem a little paltry: China doesn't have canadairs? They even developed the largest water bomber in the world!!
- the Ending is a little too enigmatic for me, I would have preferred a more obvious Happy End.
Johnny Huang has recently done a lot of action series (policeman, firefighter, etc.), I would like to see him again in something more "calm" :)
*********************************************************************************************************************
PLOT: romance assez classique entre un ML pompier et une FL danseuse, qu'il a sauvé 5 ans plus tôt. La série suit l'évolution, la vie d'une équipe de pompiers, avec tous les cas et problèmes possibles d'interventions. Les mesures de prévention sont très détaillées (clip à la fin de chaque épisode).
Mais :
+ la story est remarquablement bien écrite, avec des thèmes profonds (pression familiale, suicide, handicap, deuil, etc.) et une bonne analyse psychologique. Tous ces thèmes sont traités avec finesse, sensibilité et beaucoup d'humanité.
+ Il y a beaucoup de moments durs (on évolue chez les pompiers) mais la solidarité, l'esprit d'équipe, la fraternité, sont bien mises en valeur.
+ Le CL apporte un peu de douceur dans l'histoire. Leurs interactions sont naturelles, matures, et ça fait du bien !
+ Les CGI sont exceptionnelles : on a l'impression d'être au coeur de l'action.
Cependant :
- Les lacunes du système de santé sont évidentes : peu de prise en charge pour les maladies graves, aucune mesure (prothèse arrive très tard :( ) en cas de handicap...
- quelques coïncidences font très "dramaland" : la FL en possession du journal intime de sa mère, quand le ML lit le journal de son père ???
- les moyens déployés dans les feux de forêt semblent un peu dérisoires : la Chine n'a pas de canadairs ? Elle a même mis au point le plus gros bombardier d'eau au monde !!
- la Ending est un peu trop énigmatique pour moi, j'aurai préféré une Happy End plus évidente.
=> Série toute à la gloire des pompiers, agrémentée par une jolie romance.
Johnny Huang a fait dernièrement beaucoup de séries d'action (policier, pompier, etc.), j'aimerai bien le revoir dans quelque chose de plus "calme" :)

I don't understand the logic in this drama
the beginning of the drama, the beginning of the FL and ML meeting is very dramatic, I like how it uses a natural way
but I had to stop watching this drama when the story didn't make sense after I watched 15 episodes. I don't understand why you have to bring ordinary people when you are at a dangerous fire scene?
WHY???
this doesn't make sense, especially since they are untrained people. The scene that shows the firefighter laughing because the female character said something funny after the fire was put out, I immediately slammed my cellphone because I couldn't tolerate this anymore.
ENOUGH! I can't stand watching this drama anymore!
The storyline is too forced and I don't like Zhang Jingyi's acting in this drama, even though I was waiting for it because I had watched her previous drama. The expression on his face is like there is no emotion or change, I regret that.
ML's acting is good, but that's all.
Overall, I don't understand why this drama has a script that doesn't relate at all.

This could be a lot better...
When I waited for this drama to air, I was really full of anticipation as it has a great casting, and the story line seems to be interesting. What I really didn't appreciate about this drama is how it felt like a documentary and in all honestly it really focused on the life and practices of the firefighters and not the romance/drama itself. If I can delete every filler scene in this drama, the drama would only be 5 episodes max with only the main leads. Another thing I didn't like is how the build-up of their relationship was, as it felt like it was rushed and not very dynamic conversation between the main leads, it only become interesting because of the good acting and the chemistry of both main leads.With that aside, ZJY is one of my favorite stars in the moment and her acting is incredible in this drama but because of a poor story line and script it was really sad to see one of her dramas in a low rating in this site. JH is also a really good choice for these kinds of drama, and in all the dramas about firefighters that was released this year JH is one of the actors that showed a very natural manly vibe and suited the role.
In terms of the ending, I really did feel that he will die at the end as he always stated that his life belongs to the country as it foreshadowed the ending already.

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.
