Fireworks Korean Series on ABS-CBN
Fireworks, the 2006 Korean drama hit series is coming to Philippine TV courtesy of ABS-CBN.
Here’s the synopsis of Fireworks:
Shin Na Ra, a woman who is almost thirty welcomes her boyfriend of ten years back from his business trip. During their dinner, he tells her that he not only had an affair but fell in love with another woman. Thus their relationship is no more. To make herself feel better, Na Ra drinks a large amount of alcohol and unknowingly dropped the ring her ex-boyfriend gave her into a random stranger’s cup. The stranger, In-Jae, drinks the shot without seeing the ring and both of them end up in the hospital.
To support herself, Na Ra pretends to be her 20 years old sister in order to work as a cosmetic clerk at Mi-Rae (the woman her ex-boyfriend fell in love with)’s shop but fate has brought In-Jae to the shop to. Thus began their surprising journey of love, where In-Jae is in love with Mi-Rae too.
There’s really nothing new with the story of Fireworks, what’s more interesting to note is its cast:
Han Chae Young as Shin Na Ra / Shin Na Kyung (Cosmetic beauty counselor)
Kang Ji Hwan as Nah In Jae (Cosmetic gallery manager)
Park Eun Hye as Chae Mi-rae (Head of the cosmetic store management team)
Yoon Sang Hyun as Kang Seung-woo (CPA, Nah-ra’s ex-boyfriend)
Park Jung Soo as Nah In Jae’s mother
Kim So Yun as Shin Na Kyung (the real 20 year-old sister)
Park Geun Hyung as Shin Na Ra’s father
Kim Chang Sook as Choi Soon Young (Shin Na Ra’s mother)
Kim Joo Hyun
Those names may not be sound familiar to you but here’s the good news, most of these names belong to familiar faces as they already appeared in other tagalized Korean series both in ABS-CBN and GMA 7.
According to sources, the lead star of Fireworks is the same girl who played the lead role in Jewel in the Palace. Anyway, this is a very old Korean series, is ABS-CBN running out of choices?

Oh.. good news for all kapamilya..Fireworks (2006) is something to watch out for.. Han Chae Young is so funny here.. the lead star from Only You. The lead actor is Kang Ji Hwan — one of the good looking actors in Korea and very good at his craft.. He’s the leading man in Be Strong Geum Soon.. Too bad, the 2 giant networks haven’t thought of airing 2 of his recent works — Hong Gil Dong (2008) and Capital Scandal (2007). KJH is so great in these 2 dramas — comedy, drama, action and romance in one. The same is true with Fireworks — this is worth watching..

Perhaps, mas costly kumuha ng rights pag new drama, I don’t mind if luma na cya. I’m sure viewers will enjoying watching this series. But I also hope ABS will also choose a more recent drama like Hong Gil Dong. Another big hit if they decide to air this, too. I agree with Kai.. ABS is great when it comes to dubbing..
