What, When & Where

The story is about the firemen in Hong Kong , I think this is the most touching series TVB ever produced. It got a great story line and number of good casts. Believe me, you will cry while watching this series, it is very emotional!
Storyline

Yes, this is my favorite TVB drama so far and I have seen it many times, but this is a long story, I can't give a detail summary since I am not good at writing summaries at all!

To be brief, this story is about Hong Kong firemen, who are facing the most challenging work in the world as well as their personal problems.

THE FACTORS
Hate Factor

Louis's bigger brother, I begin to hate him from the first moment I saw him. Plus, he raped Louis's girlfriend, which causes her death!

Lee Zhi Hung's character towards the end, I have to admit that I like him in the beginning, but later on, he becomes so jealous about his brother Wong He, and he did many mistakes.

Ah Ba's wife, she totally uses Ah Ba, and also caused his death.
Love Factor

The Nan Shan Three Tigers, Wong He, Ching Ka Lok and Cheung Keng Kei, whenever you see those three together, you just want to laugh so badly.

Wong He, he performs really well in this series, I love his character. His relationship with his best friends and Esther is really cute.

Louis is the other lover factor of the story; I love his story the most, because it is the saddest. His girlfriend-soon-to-be-wife (Ah Cui) was raped by his brother. Louis misunderstood Ah Cui and rejects to marry her, and that causes her death!
Pity Factor

Ah Cui of course, she stuck between the two brothers, and Louis's brother is such an evil guy. But, the real pity thing is that she loves Louis so much, but Louis did not believe her at all! You will feel mad about how Louis treated her when he misunderstood her. Before An Cui died, she calls Louis and tells him that she loves him so much that she will never betray him. She told Louis that she was raped and asks him to forgive her! So sad, I mean, she did not do anything wrong, she just want to be Louis's wife because she loves him so much. What a sad ending for such a wonderful girl like An Cui.

The other pity factor is Ah Ba, who is played by Cheung Keng Kei. He was a really cute guy and a good friend of Wong He. Well, his wife did not love him, she just uses him as a safe guard. When she is fine, she just left him. At the same time, Ah Ba's boss did illegal stuff and his best friends ignored him, so he decided to suicide. You might think he is stupid, which I think he is, too. But, it was really sad to see his downfall, because he was such a wonderful and funny character, but he chose to die!
How Come Factor

I find every little detail in this story believable, so don't ask me about the home come factor

Cast

Louis Koo, because he is a very tough guy, and very sad thing happened to him even he is the one to blame for. Oh, well, I think he acts really well in the story. You can also see the soft side of his character.
Character

Wong He's character, as I explained above. You will like him from the first episode.
Couple

Ka Lok and his wife, they are so cute and so funny together. They did not love each other when they married, later on, as the marriage improves, they are in love with each other, very cute couple!

Louis and Ah Cui is my favorite couple even though they did not end up together due to the tragedy. But, you get to see how they work so hard to be together, that's why you will love this couple.
Scene

Ah Cui and Ah Ba's death as I explained above.

Ah He tries to save his bigger brother (last episode) His brother made many mistakes after he realized Wong He is in love with his girlfriend Esther, and his beloved mother is totally insane and lied to him for many years. Wong He did not give up on him, he tried to save him, his brother shot him in the arm, but he still saved his brother, very emotional scene.

This is a must see for every single one of you! You will totally feel the way the characters felt in the story.

  怎么来形容现在看到将近20集的心情。早就听说烈火三部都非常不错。所以当初我看了第一集就已经吸引着继续往下看。
  王喜这个男星，由于我以前港剧看的比较少，最开始看到他应该就是和钟嘉欣的一部搞笑侦探剧，当时觉得这个男主角真的长得不尽人意。
  但是在这里，这部TVB唯一为他做主角的戏里，他的，做兄弟，有今生没来世，他的善良、勇敢、机智。一颗赤子之心，足以感动我们每一颗心。
  本来想长篇大论地写一番我的心情，但是忽然又觉得思绪翻涌，实在太多太多。群姐在何教官走之前，挽留了他。她躺在病床上，说“那你就试试吧，我怎么吃也不会胖的”，碧瑶对天佑说“如果你是认真的，我会考虑”。我最爱的晓翠，明白海柏是一只只适合翱翔的鹏鸟，于是轻轻放手让他去更好的消防局一展抱负。
  以前的港剧，太多诚意之作。感谢他们教会我们，那一句，哭着也是一天，笑着也是一天，为什么不选择笑着呢

　　“做兄弟，有今生，无来世，两胁插刀”在当年很流行，不过“胁”其实应为“肋”。
　　现在回看，剧情总是过于拖沓和煽情，群姐之死一味地催泪，阿翠之死狗血得像韩剧，燕姐的精神病又总是拖着不爆发。
　　骆晓峰这个角色崩坏得最夸张，作为“八乡传奇”难道不应该牺牲在火场才合理吗？李子雄真是逃不过奸角的命运。
　　结尾那场大火可以把所有主要角色都集中在一起，只能佩服编剧的脑洞。
　　忽略那些难缠的儿女私情，里面的兄弟情和专业精神还是挺感人的。司徒拔这个失败者能够成为主要角色，在港剧里并不多见。
　　王喜的演技很有自己的特色，但看多了就像张卫健那样千人一面。虽然他也演过不少高收视的剧集，但当时的TVB始终是罗嘉良、吴启华、古天乐和张家辉当家。
　　关咏荷的气质和体型跟这剧格格不入，王喜和她站在一起像姐弟多于情侣。
　　梁琤是越看越有味道，陈少霞的演技值得点赞。
　　全剧主要使用了史泰龙主演电影《Daylight》的OST，作曲者叫Randy Edelman。这部电影在外界的评价不高，却一直是我的心头好。不知道TVB有没有买音乐版权。
　　另外还有两首催泪神曲，一首是刘德华的《无出息的汉子》，另一首是S.E.N.S.的《Wish》。
　　剧里还出现了很多流行曲，李蕙敏的《我为我生存》和古巨基《永远永远》都是好歌。不像现在的剧，一首《越难越爱》播到尾。

《烈火雄心》——群姨
群姨是最早离世的。
从她离开伊始，这打打闹闹热热闹闹的一团火似的剧情，就开始转入了悲伤与离别的调子，后来有更多的人离去，种种不幸与悲剧，都在她儿子的身边上演。
但群姨的离开，是安详而美丽的。生命的最后一刻，她看到了梦想中的白海豚，那一刻，她生命中所有美好的东西或许都一一出现，或有与骆信的初识，有天佑的逐渐成长，还有与何教官短暂而无法相守的遗憾。
她说，认识何教官，犹如中了六合彩，但——却没有办法领奖。
刚开始会不平，这么善良的好人，为何不让她拥有晚年迟来的幸福。
后来却释然了，她已拥有了世上最珍惜的种种情感。一个骆信，一个何教官，这两个深爱着她的男人，在她死后，因着共同的爱，毫无芥蒂的坐在一起，缅怀她的点点滴滴。
儿子说，她是一个最好的妈妈，邻居说，她是一个善良的好人，同事记得她，大兴阿拔记得她，就连海宝也记得群姨，教他说话，教他照相。
但看着她日益形销骨立，还是忍不住眼泪，就像天佑一样，不知能做什么，不敢相信最亲的人怎会马上消失。明白了死亡于群姨来说是安详的一个过程，但却是天佑生命最难熬的一个坎，子欲养而亲不在，那是生命最刻骨的痛。
亲人最终会如群姨一般，毫无预兆的，纷至而去，但天佑说，妈，没有你的日子，我开始知道拖鞋放在哪里，开始习惯一个人吃饭。只是一瞬间后，剧情从至悲转入平和，所有的痛都会来临，但只能微笑着继续走下去，这便是生命。


整理日记发现自己居然还写过烈火雄心，2009年，真是一个遥远的日子。
