Fascination (2026)

Far better than a few high budget dramas.

I’m sad that this drama has come to an end, but it will undoubtedly stay with me for a long time. Out of all the mini dramas I’ve watched in 2026, this one was the absolute best. The male and female leads delivered outstanding performances, and their chemistry was captivating. The ost, angst, love story, and romantic scenes were all executed flawlessly. About plot, the pacing felt slightly messy at a point and the ending felt a bit rushed but the main leads easily overshadowed these minor flaws. I liked Jesse Ren, but now I am a huge fan of Qi Yandi as well. I’m eagerly waiting for their second collaboration and truly hope it arrives soon.

Fascination, just like the title, is really fascinating. I've come across many Chinese dramas that focus on revenge and the core of the story is not much different from other revenge genres. There is also a plot twist. And i happened to see the cover of the story on an illegal website that i visit sometimes, and was immediately interested in watching it. In just two days i was able to finish it. And what i can say is, their chemistry is really burning like fire... Every scene is used better by the director. All the dialogues are also not confusing.

The point is that this story, in my opinion, is personally very fresh than other revenge stories. I mean, i never thought of the plot twist that was a little far-fetched that i could imagine. considering, sorry for a little spoiler for those who haven't watched it, Wei Wei and Xu Meng are not siblings or twins, so the plot for plastic surgery was never thought of at all. So this is the best point for me. Let's talk a little about the actors' acting, absolutely stunning! They did it well! And especially the villain! He really, really fits this role!

And wait a minute! who the hell is this guy?! Who is this hot and charismatic man?? I'll say it again and never got tired he's a damn hot!!
