Tencent Puts Out Fire: Love Has Fireworks Not Canceled, Still Set for 2025 |
Rumours were flying left, right, and centre on Weibo this week claiming that Love Has Fireworks (恋焰人间), starring Tan Jianci and Wang Churan, was about to be scrapped.
The hot gossip even threw in dramatic claims about the second male lead Zhang Haowei being the cause of trouble, plus whispers that the drama’s producer had allegedly done a disappearing act.
But Tencent Video wasn’t having any of it.
The platform officially shot down the speculation in a crisp morning post—dropping fresh promotional stills of Tan Jianci and attaching the official hashtag along with a reservation link for the series.
In short: the drama’s alive and well.

Industry chatter now points to a Q4 2025 release, with November being the most likely premiere slot. That lines up nicely with Tencent’s year-end schedule, so fans might want to keep their calendars free.
The cancellation rumour picked up speed largely because Zhang Haowei, who plays the second male lead, has been tangled in controversy before.

Earlier this summer, the actor made headlines for being caught in a messy dispute with a brand partnership & ongoing tax scandal (since last year) gone sour—sparking online backlash and heated debates among netizens about whether he should still front major dramas.
Although the storm has since calmed, his involvement in Love Has Fireworks left room for gossip mongers to spin a new “production crisis” narrative.
Tencent’s official response now makes it clear: the drama’s not going anywhere, and all cast members remain intact.

Comments on Weibo show relief more than anything. One user wrote,
“Don’t play with my feelings, I’ve been waiting months for this couple!”
while another joked, “If the producer really ran away, at least he left us with Tan Jianci posters.”
With Tencent’s confirmation, viewers can now look forward to a full-on romance spectacle, not a shelving announcement.
