Fireworks Episode 1
Fireworks Starring Han Chae Young, Yoon Sang Hyun, and Kang Ji Hwan
Fireworks is a warm-hearted and highly entertaining romantic drama about the (mis)adventures of four young people. Han Chae-Young, star of 2005 uber-hit Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang and most recently seen as Ji-hoo's icily beautiful first love in Boys Before Flowers, brings a quirky charm to her role as Shin Na Ra, a 30-year old unemployed woman who just can't seem to catch a break.
On the eve of their 7th anniversary, Na Ra's boyfriend returns from a business trip and proposes to her, but halfway through their romantic evening he confesses that he has cheated with another woman and that he's no longer sure that he loves her. Furious, Na Ra breaks up with him and goes out and gets wildly drunk. When she drops her engagement ring in a glass of soju, In Jae, the coach of a boys' soccer team, accidentally swallows it, and their lives collide in a less than amicable way. Soon after, Na Ra goes in search of revenge taking a job at the company of her ex-boyfriend's new woman in an effort to make things as uncomfortable for him as possible. What she doesn't realize, however, is that In Jae's mother is a senior executive of the company, and that In Jae and her rival in love, Mi Rae (Park Eun-Hye) are old friends. When In Jae's mother forces him to come work for the company, he and Na Ra are put on the same team, and sparks of a different kind than anger begin to fly. But In Jae also has feelings for Mi Rae, and soon, the four people – Na Ra, In Jae, Na Ra's ex and Mi Rae – find themselves entangled in a love quadrangle. In this witty romantic drama, revenge is a dish best served warm and romantic fireworks are going off everywhere you look.

Even though the story moved slowly at times I liked this one. Hated some of the characters but that is what makes a good show...hating and loving the characters. I, also, want to find out where I can get a "yes & no" doll!

Though not truly lighthearted, the plot was believeable; the acting was excellent; the actors really "matched" their roles. A good story with a good ending. Thanks for the translations too.

The storyline is atypical where the main characters have to go a really long way before they be together and there's more fighting and sad scenes than anything lighthearted. Jealousy and pain stand out in this drama. It's actually refreshing from watching something overly romantic. All the characters seem to change so suddenly. Nara was revengeful in the beginning but turned honest when she found true love. Mirae was the opposite with a dramatic change. She hid her true love and then tried to hang on to it no matter what the cost. The guys seem to be one dimensional. In Jae has his charms but couldn't make up his mind. Seung Woo was the opposite, he made up his mind and stuck with Mirae no matter what the cost. After watching this, you'd want to see a real romantic comedy right afterwards.

I liked it because it's not the typical kdrama storyline, where 2 guys are vying for 1 girl's affection, it's actually tells what/how the "other" girl (the one that is being rejected) is going through. It definitely kept my interest from beginning to end.
