Adapted from the novel "Hay la minh song chung" by author Hong Cuu, the film tells the story of Ly Diec Phi (Dan Kien Thu) - a rich young master who suddenly falls into a difficult situation and has to find a place to live together. Meanwhile, Tien Phi (Wang Chu Nhien) is both unemployed and has a broken relationship, so she decides to rent a room to reduce financial pressure. The meeting between two people with opposite personalities opens up a series of funny and sad situations before feelings arise.
Immediately after broadcasting, the film recorded many positive signals in terms of data. According to statistical platforms in China, the work topped the rating chart during broadcast hours, and attracted more than 2.5 million previews. On the online platform, the heat of the film also increased rapidly after just a few hours of airing.
In Vietnam, the film was broadcast on VieON and quickly attracted a large number of viewers. The combination of Dan Kien Thu and Vuong So Nhien became a topic of wide discussion on film forums.
The point that many viewers highly appreciate is the fast pace of the film, the easy-to-reach romantic comedy color and everyday life situations close to urban youth. Besides the love story, the film also explores familiar issues such as home buying pressure, unemployment, competition in the office and difficulties in young people's lives.
Dan Kien Thu received many compliments for portraying the image of a modern general director in a humorous and approachable direction instead of building a character that is too perfect. This is also one of the few modern romance projects of the male actor after making his mark through many ancient and criminal works.
However, besides the positive feedback, the film still faces many mixed opinions. A part of the audience believes that Dan Kien Thu and Vuong So Nhien have not created a strong enough "chemical reaction" feeling of a romantic couple. The appearance of the two actors has also become a topic of debate on social networks.
In addition, many people commented that the image and production style bear the imprint of a project made a few years ago. Some familiar motifs such as living together and then developing feelings, the male and female leads experiencing trauma in love or office situations are considered not new compared to current film trends.
Another notable detail is that the film had to go through a lengthy post-production process and re-process the supporting male role using AI technology before being officially broadcast.
Although still controversial, "Love with Fireworks" still shows the appeal of modern romance films when it has a stable viewership and high discussion level.
