Di Qi Ci Xin Tiao

Di Qi Ci Xin Tiao (2025) is a romance miniseries with Ben Wang as Lu Jingchen and Ma Xin Yu as Qin Ruyan/YanYan in the lead couple’s role. This is a miniseries that has a mystery surrounding the female lead and a man that falls for her at first sight. The lead couple has some really nice intimate moments but the female lead’s facial expressions don’t convey a loving warmth as her gaze seems detached from her emotions. The lead couple’s characters are intelligent, strong, and somewhat mysterious but, if not for the male lead’s suave, passionate, and warm persona, the romance would not have been believable. The drama’s plot has too many things going on and, sometimes, not all issues are resolved clearly, and no amount of passion nicely portrayed by the male lead, can overcome the female lead’s detached demeanor.

Too many ingredients spoiled the mix

review does contain mild spoilers



Initially, the drama seemed promising,It gives off the thrilling vibe of a tiger-and-prey dynamic , a domineering CEO’s love that hunts with intensity like a tiger, yet melts into a soft, innocent puppy when seeking affection. Sometimes he chases with a predator’s fire, and sometimes he pleads with the innocence of a lover, demanding love and it’s truly impressive. but as the story progressed with multiple identity reveals for both the FL and ML, it became frustrating and lost its charm. There was no real chemistry between the leads only the ML's emotions and efforts were visible, while the FL lacked convincing expressions to show she had any feelings for him. The suspense and threats that were heavily built up turned out to be underwhelming and poorly executed. Despite all characters being positive and no third-party interference or misunderstandings between the leads, the story failed to leave an impact. Although I liked the ML's character, I wouldn’t recommend this drama.

If anyone decides to watch it, it'll be because of the male lead’s and his chartacter's charm , that’s the real draw.
