Controversial TV Drama 'Victims of Human Fireworks' Goes Viral

The drama 'My Human Fireworks,' starring Yang Yang and Wang Churan, has become one of the most controversial productions since 'Gentlemen in District Eight,' which made viewers uncomfortable, but 'Human Fireworks' has offended professionals across different fields, including firefighters, doctors, orphanages, accountants, and even ordinary bystanders.

Some netizens have described the drama as 'malicious,' a rare label for any show, but 'Human Fireworks' managed to earn it.

The male lead in 'My Human Fireworks,' Song Yan, who plays a fire station chief, was shown playing with fire extinguishers as if they were toys, which had serious adverse consequences.

A netizen associated with an educational institution revealed that since the show aired, fire brigades and the police have increased inspections from every two months to every week. They even had to teach children not to treat fire extinguishers as toys! Another netizen in a hospital disclosed that there are now dedicated personnel inspecting firefighting equipment, and even exams on how to use fire extinguishers.

As for the female lead, Xu Qin, a doctor in the emergency department, she refused to provide emergency treatment and CPR to pregnant women and was even depicted attempting to steal potent medicine, tarnishing the image of medical institutions and healthcare professionals.

Other netizens exposed that hospitals are now organizing emergency competitions during holidays and attending additional training. Some medical students revealed that due to this drama, their schools now require them to retake medical ethics courses every semester.

And there's more...

Currently, the rating of 'My Human Fireworks' has plummeted to 3.4, with the number of ratings about to surpass 300,000. Without artificial interference, the rating might drop to 2.

Yesterday, the show's VIP members had their finale, and the lead actors Yang Yang and Wang Churan apologized for the controversies. Yang Yang, who usually exudes self-confidence and is impervious to public opinions, expressed, 'Thank you all for your understanding and company this summer, along with your criticism and suggestions.' However, his statement was criticized for lacking sincerity, as his Weibo is filled with negative comments from netizens, and even his fans couldn't control the backlash.

In contrast, Wang Churan's short essay appeared more sincere. She apologized for the troubles caused during this period and acknowledged the critiques and suggestions she received. Despite the drama's conclusion, its impact is not entirely dissipating. Due to Xu Qin's unlikeable character, controversies continue to arise, even affecting Wang Churan's new endorsements.

Furthermore, the drama has also influenced another firefighting show, 'He Emerged from the Flames,' starring Huang Jingyu and Zhang Jingyi. The show, which was initially set to air at around 8.5, now requires reevaluation. The television network can only promote the backlog of other productions.
