When I Call Your Name (2025)

Supernatural murder mystery with a touch of romance

I was browsing through my iQiyi app when I found this drama. The synopsis intrigued me as it reminds me of Western supernatural series such as True Calling and Ghost Whisperer. So I clicked play and overall I liked this drama.

What I liked:
1. Supernatural theme - It's refreshing and I really enjoyed it.
2. FL characterisation - She's aloof but smart. I really liked that she's always a step ahead of others. Zhao Fei was excellent in this role.
3. ML characterisation - He's a workaholic but not overbearing. He's smart - I liked that he came out with a plan to convince shareholders.
4. Romance - As expected, there is romance. A sweet one but the chemistry between Zhao Fei and Yang Cheng Han was lacking for a romantic couple. I wish there were more warm moments by the couple so it would feel rewarding when they truly got together.
5. Supporting characters - I really liked ML's mother and FL's male friend. The two junior colleagues of FL were cute.

What I disliked:
1. Conclusion - What is the motive of the masked antagonist for killing FL's family? Was it explained? I want to know so please let me know.

Not too popular, but good.

I watch this since I got free trial iQiyi and this drama was on the recommendation page and it was suspense romance which is rare for chinese short drama.

FL is a mortician, and the ML is a body brought in for burial after a car accident. Through a series of coincidences, they develop a love story that transcends life and death, a classic bickering romance.

Zhao Fei's hime-cut hairstyle is stunning, and her inherent mysterious aura perfectly suits the role. The scene where she controls the ML is incredibly cool. ML's initial soul form, controlled by the FL but invisible to others, is practically invincible. I quite like ML's mother isn't blindly trusting or hostile towards the FL. She initially suspects her, but gradually trusts her and takes good care of her. We need more mothers like this—positive characters with intelligence.

ML claims to be corrupted by FL, but he's secretly thrilled. The confession was also unique; ML confessed with a mix of words and true feelings, yet the actors' performances were incredibly natural, especially Zhao Fei whose expressions and demeanor were perfectly captured.

It is still unclear about FL family tragedy reason, i wish they give 3-5 episode for that.

Still decent to watch.
