Fireworks of My Heart — Love That Still Burns After Time
A firefighter and a doctor. I’ve always loved dramas with this kind of setting — where love is intertwined with responsibility and sacrifice. Fireworks of My Heart (我的人间烟火) is exactly that: a reunion story that brings together two people who once loved each other deeply, got separated in their youth, and meet again a decade later under the burning light of fire and hope.
The drama stars Yang Yang (YY) as Song Yan, a firefighter, and Wang Churan as Xu Qin, an emergency doctor. Their love story begins in their teenage years, but due to family pressure and misunderstandings, they are forced apart. Ten years later, they reunite as professionals who save lives — he runs into flames, she heals those who survive them.
🌸 The cast & chemistry
You know how I said I have been a fan of YY for years? Well: he is absolutely the reason I started watching. His portrayal of the firefighter — strong, but quietly emotional — just drew me in.
And paired with Wang Churan as a doctor, they bring in that perfect balance of familiarity (from their teenage love) and maturity (from their ten years apart). I absolutely felt their chemistry.
💭 Cinematography and Music
The visual tone of the drama is soft and warm, with golden and smoky hues that match the “fireworks” theme perfectly. The firefighting sequences are well-shot — not overly dramatic, but impactful enough to show danger and teamwork.
The OSTs also deserve praise. Songs like 《我的人间烟火》 (performed by Mao Buyi) and 《星光》 add emotional depth. I loved how the music often appeared during quiet reflection moments instead of big scenes, which made it more touching.
⚠️ What I Found Challenging / Mixed Feelings
Familiarity & pacing
Because I love this kind of reunion + profession-drama combo, some parts felt very familiar to me: childhood love, separation, ten years later, misunderstanding, then rescue. While I didn’t mind it, I did wish for more surprise or less predictability in places. And slow pacing in the middle episodes; some scenes felt repetitive
Emotional highs vs. quiet moments
A few dialogues and emotional confrontations were too long or dramatic. The drama does have big moments (fire rescue, hospital drama, life-or-death), but sometimes the quieter emotional moments felt a bit rushed or under-explored.
🎬 Verdict
Fireworks of my heart is a drama I loved because of who I am as a viewer: a fan of heroic careers + characters I care about.
If you’re into:
Reunion romances
Characters in firefighting/medical professions
Actors whose chemistry you already love
Emotional dramas with rescue scenes and life stakes
… then this show is definitely worth your time.
