Out of Reach (2025)

? My Review of "Out of Reach" ?

I just finished watching Out of Reach, and my heart is still tangled in the delicate threads this drama wove. This isn’t your typical light, predictable series — it dares to walk into rooms most folks in China would rather keep locked tight. It gently yet unflinchingly shines a lantern on subjects too often swept under the rug, making it not just entertainment, but a quiet revolution of empathy.

The performances?
WANG NANA and YUAN YU HAN absolutely breathed life into their characters. They weren’t simply acting — they were living, aching, hoping, breaking. Watching them was like peeking into a diary you have no right to read yet can’t tear your eyes away from. Their chemistry wasn’t loud or showy; it simmered under the surface, subtle and real.

The story itself is a tender, bruised peach. It explores human frailty and the loneliness of carrying burdens no one else can see. It made me stop and wonder how many people I pass each day who keep such silent battles locked behind polite smiles.

In short:
If you’re looking for something shallow, keep moving. But if you want a drama that peels back the layers of the human spirit — that has the courage to speak where others remain hushed — Out of Reach is worth every tear and every warm pang in your chest.

Bravo to the entire team, and a standing ovation to WANG NANA and YUAN YU HAN for portraying their roles with such haunting brilliance.

A little over 2 and a half hours of struggle and pain

Quick quiz: how many accidents can the ML have and stay alive before getting paralyzed?
Cause I counted about 6, and he was still alive and kicking!

The headline says it all ~

Aside from a secret that needn't be a secret, and a lie that is completely unnecessary, the show has practically nothing but struggles, the FL struggle with money, her father's illness and the harassment from the ML, and the ML struggles with accidents, the FL repellency and jealousy over her.

The ML can't take no for an answer and is obsessed with the FL in a very unhealthy way, not romantic but more like bullying and harassing way, somehow that's understandable cause he is in love and this is fiction
the FL already has too much on her plate and the ML came to just make her life worse, although IMO everything could be easily avoided had she told him the truth ~

However, I have to praise the two leads as they were great!! And they had good chemistry.

There is something in the story that I didn't understand in the beginning and it doesn't have an explanation later but I sincerely am not interested in asking about it now, I'm just glad it ended because finishing this was quite a chore despite generally liking it ~
