Xiang Yan Hua Yi Yang Can Lan (2025)

Powerhouse Cast + Sweet Story

This one is a gem! “As Brilliant as Fireworks” is a youth drama with a time-travel twist about growing up, learning to have empathy, and making up for regrets.

Some aspects of the plot, including the happy ending, could have been more developed, but overall it’s a delightful watch with a standout cast. The two couples (played by Zhang Chi & Yu Yin and Wang Yi Lei & Li Ke Yi) have a great dynamic both as pairs and as a group, the production values are nice, and the story is fun and fanciful while still having emotional impact.

As a side note, I continue to be impressed with Zhang Chi’s versatility as an actor. He’s more than just a pretty face (though that’s hard to ignore). Here, he gives a fine performance as a moody but tender-hearted high-schooler, but he’s just as convincing in other types of roles, like his unhinged and obsessive but vulnerable character in “Helpless Without You”, or as a flirty college student in “Secret Love Is a Star Candy.” He seems to pick interesting scripts too. Definitely a talent to watch.

Our heroine travels back in time to stop her parents love-story!

Ah, this is a rare gem! Where a Maincharacter timetravels and meets her parents as 18-year olds. I mean, that would be a dream come true for me to watch my parents fall in love! I grew up watching Back To the Future Trilogy, so this is a plot dear to my heart. Watching the rich star cast was a balm to my soul, the Firework Squad had great chemistry with all of them together. I thought FL´s mother such a beautiful cutie and her father soooo cool! (i mean you can never go wrong with YiLei`s deathly swag) FL´s love interest is in the hot-tempered bad boy Jiang Yi. YuYin & Zhang Chi have so much chemistry and pulled off their characters struggles to perfection!
