    It might be a simile, but they picked the wrong word.

    Typically, fireworks are generally associated with celebration. Firecrackers are lit during Lunar New Year...in some Asian countries, some stores will lit fireworks to celebrate its opening...there is even a "Cantonese" saying where you lit firecrackers to celebrate when something good happens.

    Now...the problem lies with that the drama has selected something that is symbolically known to be used during a celebration to compare it with a tragic and emotional event. I can see and understand why people will be upset with this comparison. 

    Fair enough, that definitely explains the anger towards it. To me in english I interpret the firecracker as an alarming sound if anything, but if the word is more similar to firework then that's just a very wrong comparison
