It Will Be Exciting, Chinese Drama Overdo Starring Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan Hits 1 Million Reservations

Kapanlagi.com - The Chinese drama Overdo has once again proven the strength of the fanbase of Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan. This drama, adapted from the work of popular author Fei Wo Si Cun, is set to air next year but has already secured over 1 million reservations on iQIYI. This figure shows the extraordinary enthusiasm from fans, even before the full teaser is released.

The success of these reservations is not surprising. Besides the big names of its two main actors, Overdo presents a melodramatic story filled with pain, sacrifice, complicated love, and an intense emotional journey. It's no wonder this drama is touted as one of the hottest releases next year.

1. Synopsis of the Drama Overdo

Overdo tells the story of Murong Qing Yi (Zhang Linghe), the son of a warlord. Since childhood, his life has been far from happy. He was taken in by his adoptive father, but instead of being loved, Qing Yi experienced violence and suffering. The wounds of his childhood shape his personality as an adult.

In his teenage years, Qing Yi manages to escape and is then rescued by Ren Su Su (Wang Churan). The warm and empathetic Ren Su Su becomes a new light in Qing Yi's life. However, that happiness does not last long. Su Su loses her entire family due to a great disaster, tragically separating them.

Years later, fate brings them together again. Ren Su Su now lives under a different identity after faking her death to save someone. Meanwhile, Qing Yi, who still harbors deep emotional scars, is devastated when he learns the truth. Ironically, they are brought together again as… future in-laws.

This unfinished love story forms the backbone of the drama Overdo. Complicated, emotional, and full of surprises.

2. Why is the Overdo Drama Highly Anticipated? Here are 5 Reasons

Chinese Drama Overdo 1 million reservations

1.Adaptation from Legendary Melodrama Writer Fei Wo Si Cun

Fei Wo Si Cun is known as the "Queen of Sad Endings" or the "Mother of C-Drama." All of her novels are filled with emotions, heavy conflicts, and heart-wrenching love. Adaptations of her works are almost always viral, such as Sealed with a Kiss and Romance in the Rain.
Overdo is one of her most emotional works, so it’s no wonder that many viewers have high expectations.

2.Perfect Chemistry Between Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan

In terms of visuals and character personas, the two are considered a match made in drama heaven.
Many fan comments describe this couple as having a strong couple vibe for a romantic tragedy drama. Even before it airs, there are already many fan edits, indicating that expectations for their chemistry are very high.

3.Story Full of Wounds, Sacrifices, and Painful Reunions

Recently, Chinese audiences have been very fond of the trauma bonding, painful reunion, and star-crossed lovers genres. Overdo encompasses all these elements, from childhood trauma, tragic separations, fake deaths, new identities, and sorrowful reunions. A formula that is guaranteed to trigger emotions and make the audience hard to move on.

4.Reservations Breaking 1 Million on iQIYI Show High Enthusiasm

Not many dramas can break the 1 million reservation mark even before large-scale promotions begin.
This achievement proves that Overdo has become one of the most anticipated dramas for next year and has the potential to join the ranks of viral dramas.

5.Main Character with the Most Complex Journey

Murong Qing Yi is not a simple character. She grows up with trauma and cruel treatment, so this character requires an actor with a strong emotional range. Zhang Linghe is known for being able to portray suffering and emotional characters very well.
On the other hand, Ren Su Su is a character who is strong both morally and emotionally, fitting for Wang Churan, who is known for being stable in melodramatic roles.

The combination of these two equally wounded characters makes their love journey very touching and dramatic.
