firefighter's life
I like this drama, a young man whose mother left him when he was young and his father died doesn't make him a messy young man. his uncle and aunt gave him enough love and affection so that he grew up to be a firm and responsible man. a very risky job as a firefighter does not make him give up.here I see that firefighters are very noble, they go through danger to save people. Song yan really brings the characters in the drama to life.
For romance problems are just as sugar. There are some parts of Xu Qin's character that I don't really like. As a foster child she should know herself.
She may fall in love but she has to make his parents believe in Song yan slowly, not immediately leave his foster parents after she was given the best life and education.

very good Drama with best actors
a fantastic drama no episode is boring a huge respect for firefighters and doctors and all other professionalsit is a good drama but idk I might sound weird but it would have been better if Miaomiao got together with yanchen it would have been a very good chemistry to see.ps I loved their house and their love towards one another is very phenomenal we got to see a drama where ethics were shown above all.i hope you guys enjoy watching this drama it may have couple of more episodes but you get to see something new in every episodeWas this review helpful to you?
Exploring fireworks!!
This drama is all about a love between a doctor and a fire fighter which was not supported by the female lead parents due to the difference in their statuses .I must say that this is the first time I have known truly about firefighters,their lives and the risks they face in saving people from daily accidents to natural disasters.
This drama showcases the brotherhood these firefighters form amongst them,their training and coaching,how they really live faraway from their homes and near and dear ones ,only devoting themselves to public security
I really liked this part and was inspired by these true heroes.The emotional bonds between them,their process of rescuing people stuck in different hazards,and their relentless services for people's welfare were the most outstanding part for me in this drama.
Everything else and everyone were good in their acting.
Yang Yang and Wang Churan chemistry was good.
If you truly want to know about the real heroes,then this one is for you.

A Good Story and good casting
Just finished watch the showI think and believe this drama is very good
Yang Yang & Wang Chu Ran played the role very good (please mind how the character background, if you want to see brighter WCR, maybe you could try to watch "Have a Crush on You" or other dramas played by her, after that, you could judge her)
How Song Yan saved the old witch on typhoon is the best and sweetest revenge ever ( I love this kind of revenge, how you get back to people who wronged you by saving their life at critical moment)

One of My TOP ALL TIME drama
This is my first modern cdrama and oh boy it was truly amazing. It deals with real life struggles and covering two main professions that is cool to watch in action. Giving a sneak peek on what Medical and Firefighters go through each day and their way of living.Also this is not your typical drama where there's romance from start to finish because it deals with a lot of conflicts resulting to a PUSH/PULL relationship which is more relatable in real life than some dramas approach of fantasies. So people who're used to that need to have patients in watching this drama with 40 episodes.
But for me i didn't get bored because i'm so in love and amazed with everything in this drama. The acting of all the cast were great, the production and of course the amazing OSTs.
Again its up there ONE OF MY TOP ALL TIME DRAMA!!

Long review but I have to get it all out! One of the most heartwarming dramas!
For those who dropped this drama or wrote a bad review about it (without finishing it or at least most of it)… your NUTS! It is a really really good drama! From beginning to end (I hope! I am not there yet but it is up to ep. 38).I was going to write my review several times but I am glad I waited until episode 38. I was going to knock down the storyline some and give it 9/10 but now I don’t have the heart to do it! Episodes 37-38 made my day!!! This is an excellent drama! It has the controlling parents (which I REALLY hate! But keep watching it gets good). Family. Drama. Love. Hate. Loyalty. Honor. It has it all! I laughed! I cried! So many times I wanted to tell the FL to grow a backbone and stand up to that awful mother! I loved how when she finds out what the mother did to the ML she finally had had enough. That mean woman held on though. Still thinking she was right and the the FL cousin brought her to her knees! It was the most rewarding part of this drama! Her revenge for her cousin was perfect and suitable!
Storyline - was really well done! Loved it all so far! I could say that YES, it was to lengthy and some of the “filler” could be taken out. But a good drama that is well written and well acted can suck you into the lives of every person portrayed in it! This drama did that for me. I was invested in ALL their lives! I cried when the firemen’s family’s cooked and sent the meals to them so they could have a taste of home. I cried when they lost a comrade and when the doctor/nurse cried in the movie theater for her loss of having him around. I cried when the ML was almost killed in the earth quake and the FL realized it was him. I laughed in so many parts I cannot count. I hated some of the people in the drama also. So to me, a drama that can touch on ALL my emotions is a really good drama! So 10/10 for me! Well done writers!
Acting/Cast - man where to start? Yang Yang - so I have seen a lot of his dramas/movies. I own one drama and one movie. He is an excellent actor! I love that he has grown so much over the years in his acting. He was kind of stiff in the first ones I watched and in “You are My Glory” I say a new side of him. A softer more relaxed side. But in this drama I saw an even bigger change..for the good! He has outdone himself in this drama. He is more human, if that makes sense. To me he is no longer just a good looking guy. Oh he is a good looking guy but now he is so much more! I can’t wait to see what he does next! As for the FL Wang Chu Ran- she is a good actress. I felt she was a wee bit stiff in this drama but that could be the character she was portraying. She did a great job! As for the rest of the cast… they did an awesome job! The mother - I was always told if an actor can make you hate them then they are a good actor. She did that so I give her thumbs up!
Rewatch - YES! YES! YES! It really was good! I want to watch it again but I will wait!

Can someone give this FL a spine please? (updated on completion)
OK so I have finished the show now and my original worries about it came true, to a certain extent. The FL character only seemed to grow a spine in the last few episodes of the drama and by then she had let so much wrong happen to so many people that she really wasn't likable anymore. I understand where some people are coming from with saying she was basically traumatised and bullied herself.......but I guess personally I expected some character GROWTH over the duration of the drama, and hardly seemed to happen. Yes she would stand up to people in certain situations, but as soon as her family got involved she was stright back to meek and pitiful.........it got a bit repetitive and a bit pathetic towards the end. As did the fact she focused on what she gave up to be with the ML rather than what she got from being with him. She was just an unlikable character........although the actress herself was great at playing her.
The rest of the show got much better though, I just wish they could have written a FL who wasn't so 'woe is me aren't I a victim in everything', the actress deserved better.

-Original review-
I enjoy Yang Yang as an actor and also this genre of TV show. So I was looking forward to watching this. At first it was a great show with the history of the two leads balanced well with the action of the firefighting job Yang Yang's character does. However as it goes on that balance slips considerably, and it's all due to one thing........the FL character.
This FL character is one of the most annoying, naïve and spineless characters I have seen in a while. Herself and the ML where together 10 yrs before the show began and she broke it off, not just that but she was nasty about it, all because of pressure from her family. 10 years later she still likes our ML, who is now a firefighter. Only for some reason she seems to think he owes her an entire history of what he did in those 10 years, as well as taking point in any relationship they may have. This logic escapes me, especially when her family (particularly her mother and brother) are still set against the ML and caves in every time they open their mouth.
She is a character who wants the ML but doesn't want to take any risks whatsoever so for some reason thinks he should do it for her. She has no backbone to stand up to her family, who are oppressive and abusive (her brother obviously wants to be more than just a brother which the mother has figured out but is ignoring) The FL is always playing the victim, when her own actions do nothing to make the ML feel her words can be trusted.
I don't know why such a character got written but I do hope that, in the last half of this series she grows up and learns to stand on her own two feet.
Except for the one character, the rest are well rounded and fun. The serious sides of their jobs can be seen, but so can the humanity of the people behind the uniforms.
The music is nice and the costumes are well done, although sometimes the CG makes you wince.
All in all a decent show.......we will just have to see how the second half goes.

Don't miss this masterpiece
If you want to watch something realistic than you must watch this masterpiece...... although some people is commenting it's slow Brun and they don't like it....but I think they did not read the noval that's why they are saying like this.....those who have read the noval they know they are completely following the noval....maker also add some sweet fillers in the show which is quiet niceComing to the acting..... Yangyang and WCN done amazing job.....their acting is so realistic .....you can relate with them and make you emotional
Chemistry BTW YY and WCN is another level ....I have watched all YY dramas and I know he
Set great chemistry with his all FLs ....but I have to say that chemistry btw YY and WCN above from all of them..... which is visual treat .... when they start dating you will smile in every episode like idiots....

The music is quiet descent and treat for ears
OVER ALL this drama is complete package of entertainment with amazing chemistry btw leads and good..... great action.....and everything thing is so realistic.

Borrowed Music
I am loving this series. It has everything that could be desired. The FL mother is frightening in her acting, but conveys the story. I am constantly disturbed that the music is taken from or at least the same as another favorite of mine, To Be With You. That series is very emotionally charged and the music is used to great advantage to increase the impact of the story. Finding that Fireworks... uses the same scores is jarring. My emotions are set to scenes and musical cues in TBWY. This makes for some confusion which is distracting, the music is beautiful, but definitely out of place in the overall world of drama only because it was used so recently in 2019 To Be with you. I wish the producers had had the confidence to come up with new musicfor Fireworks.

LOVING IT
I am thoroughly enjoying this drama. I love the two main characters. It is very interesting in reference to the medical and fire fighter roles. It is very entertaining and I look forward to the next episodes. I am rooting for the main couple and for a happy ending. I am just a romanticist and love the feel good happy endings.The individual fire fighter & medical staff characters portray such great camaraderie. Their conveyance of emotions both laughing and crying is definitely hitting my spots. This is a testament to the great performances. I like dramas/movies that move my heart both thru feeling the happiness and sadness of the actors performance. Thank you for your hard work. Looking forward to the seeing the next episodes.

Good Actors, Bad Script & Directors
I can't blame the actors. They did the best with the dumpster fire of a script and directions given. At the end of 7 episodes, I couldn't with this show anymore. The female lead is spineless and manipulative and doesn't respect boundaries. After researching that the dumpster fire continues I dropped this title.Was this review helpful to you?

Legendary firefighters
Fantastic actors (captain and instructor... first and foremost) and also a beautiful OST.I really loved this series. Like a drug... I watched 40 episodes in just 1 week.
Lovers separated from a rich family for status! After 10 years their feelings don't seem dead.
It's not easy to maintain attention and be interesting for so many episodes. I cry, I laugh, I'm worried, sad... and a hundred other feelings. When he was on the verge of dying twice and she saved him and cried: heartbreaking, when he officially introduces her to his subordinates: touching,...
I found a good balance between firefighter scenes and couple moments, between hospital scenes and family issues. Good work.
Wow... I will definitely carry these characters in my heart.
