Fireworks of My Heart (2023)

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!!!

Through the roof kinda of Chemistry

23 july 2023

8.75 ✨
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.

If you're debating whether or not to watch this drama - YOU 100% SHOULD!

I loved this show so much that I binged it in 3 days!! Came here for yang yang but stayed for WCR's AMAZING acting. Her skills were REALLY showing in episode 23 - so much so that I wanted to cry when she said the iconic like "he is my life". And, of course, Yang Yang was perfect as always - his acting always has me amazed because of how good he is at expressing emotions with his eyes!!

Another thing is that I loved every single one of the kisses and romantic interactions between the main couple. They didn't have that many kisses (there were a lot of small pecks, but I mean longer ones), but there was so much chemistry that they didn't need to kiss to keep the viewers engaged.

As for the story, I loved that it doesn't revolve around just the MMC or FMC but shows us both perspectives. I was on the edge of my seat every time the firefighters had to solve a tough problem and kicking my feet while giggling when the leads were being all cute and romantic. I would say that the show's main themes revolve around romance, family, and also thriller (for the firefighting and medical scenes). The creators of the show totally knew what they were doing when making this, as there's a good balance, and viewers can get the best of all three worlds.

Like I already said in the first statement, the acting in this show is amazing. Not just from the leads, but also from all of the supporting characters. If a show has good leads but the rest of the cast is bad, it ruins the show and makes it insufferable to watch. Thankfully, FOMH wasn't one of these cases. I started liking the characters of the firefighters and they brother-like bond from the first episode as well as seeing the tension between Xu Qin and Song Yan. Also fun fact is that Yang Yang and Zhang Bin Bin were reunited in this show, and as someone who first discovered Yang Yang in Love 020, this was a more than pleasant surprise.

This show has also genuinely changed the way I think because it's shown me how hard it is to be a firefighter and has given me so much respect for professions like that. And this is just my opinion, but I love it when I can also gain knowledge and learn facts about certain professions or lifestyles that I didn't know before, on top of just watching for fun.

I hope this helps you if you're trying to decide to watch it or not!

Worth to watch

I just watched the most captivating drama of the year! The intense fire scene, showcasing the team’s expertise and unity as they rescue people trapped in a burning building. Among the firefighters and the team’s captain, Song Yan who embodies courage and leadership. The film climaxes with a massive fire engulfing a high-rise building and etc. As the clock ticks, they must rely on their unwavering trust in each other to survive and escape. As well the rescue in earthquake between the firefighters, doctors, army and etc, themes of bravery, sacrifice, redemption, and the importance of teamwork.

From start to finish, kept me spellbound with its rescue stories, stunning visuals, and exceptional performances by the talented cast. The seamless blend of action, drama, and humor had me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I couldn't help but root for the well-developed characters as they navigated through their rescue challenges . The only things that I dislike is the Meng’s rich family which are cruel and selfish to Song Yan, shame on them.

Well done to Yang Yang ,& Churan Wang , highly recommended. And looking forward season 2…

Surprisingly interesting drama

Not a big fan of Chinese dramas, mainly because I don't have the patience to watch 50 episodes LOL. But this one was good. The leads are very god looking and they both also acted really well. The feelings between them was believable. This is the first time I am seeing Yang Yang, and contrary to what I read from other comments, I felt that he showed a range of emotions. I liked him best when he was serious and focused.
Wang Chu Ran is very pretty and she encapsulated the woman in love struggling to break free from family restrictions very well.
The supporting cast is all very good. Definitely worth a watch.

This Is a Very Good Drama

Let me tell you a little story. The first time I watched a Chinese drama just because the first drama I watched was an adaptation of my favorite webtoon. I was just curious about how a webtoon turned into a drama.

Why did I choose to watch this drama as the second Chinese drama I watched? Honestly, I only saw at a glance that the female lead in this drama was very beautiful. I usually always read the synopsis before reading webtoons or watching movies, but i just read the synopsis after watching this drama for 2 episodes. Ya, that because at first I was only amazed by the beauty of the female lead.

After I finished watching this drama, 1 word that can express my condition is "amazed". I am very amazed at how the plot of this story is neatly wrapped up. All the problems that exist are resolved beautifully. Although some people say the storyline of this drama is slow, but in my opinion all scenes are important scenes. The development of each character can be seen throughout the episode.

The more value that can be taken from this drama is the daily life of the profession that we can observe. How are the duties and responsibilities of a profession, how are the difficulties they face to help people they even know, how they are able to separate personal problems for the sake of safety. This drama is able to touch my heart. Although this is the second Chinese drama that I have watched, this drama is the one that acts as my gateway to delving deeper into Chinese dramas.

The best movie

Its find difficult to understand, why such a good drama, rating in China drop to 3.6.
All the cast, story is the best, I can re watch it several times. This drama very popular outside China, in Indonesia this drama hit Korean drama, actually its the first time Chinese drama can fight Korean drama. Fireworks of my heart gain popularity in Indonesia, we usually only know korea actor/actress, this time we know who is Yang Yang, Wang Chu Ran and others actor/actress behind this drama. Fighting for all the crew, all of you already do the best, from Indonesia with Love.

It was...okay. Lol. It is what it is, kind of like a Chinese grey's anatomy, no warning, happens out of the blue with the craziest scenario while two people are trying to be in love lmfao. But like a... slow love. Like they know it's love but they're too scared because of their past and everything that's happened and it's understandable but you find yourself skipping the show a lot because once they're like you know what??? I LOVE YOU, then you're like...okay? We get it. You find yourself not caring a lot and just realizing that you have a toxic rich family and multiple people with trauma but no one is doing anything about it truly. Lmfao

Acting was cool though, average, nothing sparking, tear jerker moments.

Music was calm.

Wouldn't rewatch it.

Overall a good watch, probably truly too long for what it was, still have a lot of questions like so the girl was a stalker towards her brother or??? Someone answer this lmfaooo
