So the recent tidal wave of C-drama releases have all been on streaming networks but the first big terrestrial broadcast is here with Hunan TV airing Fireworks of My Heart (My Fireworks on Earth) starting July 5th. It’s streaming on Hunan TV’s own Mango TV online platform but for the international release it’s going on iQiyi so this is a broad release that signals Hunan is looking at this as the summer kick off hit. Starring Yang Yang and Wang Chu Ran, with special guest performances by second leads Zhang Bin Bin and Yang Chao Yue, the drama reminds me (and C-netizens) of Descendants of the Sun with the male lead as a firefighter captain doing disaster rescue and the female lead being an ER doctor.
Trailer for Fireworks of My Heart:
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…

Checked out the first 6 episodes and I must say am not really impressed with the drama for now. The chemistry seems a little bit off despite the fact that leads were rumoured to be dating and none of the characters seem to be likeable at this, I can't root for any them.
I could get past all the negatives for now but I don't know if I could for 40 episodes,l. Why do they even need 40 episodes?. I was expecting something close to You Are My Hero but I was left disappointed.
both leads are gorgeous but for some reason I cnat feel the chemistry
Its really boring so far. I'm continuing for the visuals but would drop it when something more interesting comes along. You Are My Hero was more interesting from the get go.
What made me found the book interesting was how unlikable the FL was. Her mannerism/behaver were more the typical tough leading man we seen in drama land. She really was indifferent who couldn't care less about other people's business or complaint. She is simply there at the hospital to do her job w/out building relationship with others. Leading man too doesn't like to talk, but he fell hard for leading lady and would often try his best to communicate w/ her. He was more of what people proceed "bad boy type" who has a temper ect. Somehow he manage to crack through the FL when they were young and even later in life when they meet again.
This live adaptation failed to deliver the tone of the leads right from the beginning (perhaps bad casting...). The leading lady's soft tone of speaking is getting annoying as well. As an actress, don't be afraid to look ugly or make people hate you... your tone should convey your emotion and she is really one note here (But then again maybe it's what the direct wanted). Also, she is practically the same character she portray from her last leading role ( Have a crush on you) where she's also a Doctor. I'm really trying to like this actress, but so far it's been 0 for 2.
When these 2 were casted, I felt they didn't fit the character of the novel. After watching 4ep, my verdict still stand. If you take a book as an adaptation, you better keep what is essential, because then it just become like all other Cdrama that's been done before.
Yeah I feel like although her visual match what I think of xu qin, her character setting is a bit off. Xu qin shouldn’t be kind, she shouldn’t be able to easily get close to anyone, she should be taciturn not knowing how to befriend anyone. Even the setting of her home makes me disappointed, her apartment was always described as constantly in darkness, with no life in it, not much thing in the house. The setting in the drama just makes her a boring character. It does not convey how depressed she is and what’s different abiut her when she is with song yan.
Although I’m not satisfied, I’m still going to watch this, because I want to see how they potray the plot of novel. As far as I watch, they don’t change much of important plot, but if they even change the plot. I’ll just watch it for the intimate scenes 🙁
Fluff:
Apologies for dropping my two cents, but if you prefer a disaster drama where the ML is also a firefigther, imo "A Date with the Future" would be a better choice than "Fireworks of my heart." It was charming at the get go. The firefighter played by William Chan (first time to watch him) may not be as popular than Yang Yang (have watched his other dramas), but I think he is a better actor, imho. Also, the actress here I think was a mores suitable choice for the role of a broadcaster. Overall, the drama managed to be entertaining and heart-warming, which was made possible by the plot and all the other side characters, some plotholes notwithstanding, of course.
Nahhh date with the future is literally the worse, the female lead is just sick, plain stalker. They don't even know each other but she kept sticking on him and feed nonsense how he should date her because he rescued her arghhh
No to mention the amount of fl going into danger zone and then having ml save her, is she stupid or something???
Remembering it makes me angry argh, fireworks of my heart only has ep 8 currently so I can't say for sure, but at least the two people had relationship back then, it's not completely illogical seeing their action.
Date with the future on the other hand, just what did the writer thought when they write her character????
yeah FL is so red flag. it just plain stalker and just a big no. forcing someone to like you? god, if it was done by male people would go nuts but because it was female would make it cute? noo. and it has 40 ep but on ep 6 just getting boring. somehow it just a repeat of other drama.
Huhu. I just finished a date with the future and it was super cute and fluffy. I thought this YangYang drama is actually a copycat of it coz there is also a dog in William Chan's drama.
you're being ridiculous for making an early conclusion that adwtf is better than fomh while the later only just aired it's 8 episodes from 40 episodes. it's kinda of low for promoting the former this way. and for accusing fomh to copy cat adwtf, i just don't understand how is that possible? just from the dog? fomh is literally following the novel plots. i fail to see how they copy adwtf coz they are literally filming this last year. not after adwtf airing time.
The poster with dog almost like copy paste from Descendents of the Sun with modification. I have not check this one out yet so no comment on the drama :D
I tried the novel and couldnt get into it. I didnt like FL character. They cast 2 high profile males but both the 2 actresses are underwhelming. Pretty but underwhelming. Its a drop for me.
Most C dramas have no creativity with traits of copying from other dramas. So I feel watching recycled scenes, plots, settings all over. Pretty boring. There are very few C dramas I ever sat through without skipping a scene. That's why I stay as a Kdrama fan not C drama fan even my fave is a C actor.
I don't plan to watch this drama cuz I found Yang Yang's acting ability is limited even though he's got a few popular dramas under his belt.
Y only one episode tonight?
weekdays 2 episodes, weekend 1 episode
