🇨🇳 C-Drama Alert: “Be Passionately In Love” Drops This May & We’re All Here For It
Brace yourself, C-drama lovers — the next campus rom-com that’s about to have us all whipped is almost here! Be Passionately In Love (陷入我们的热恋) is dropping its first episode on 28 May 2025 exclusively on Tencent Video. Whether you’re into angsty miscommunications or unapologetic “she chases him first” energy — this one’s got all the juicy bits wrapped in that sweet, tianchong goodness.
🧡 What's This Drama About Then?
Set in the rainy southern city of Qingyi (cue soft lighting and umbrellas), the story follows Xu Zhi (played by Liu Haocun), the confident, stylish “President Zhi” who’s a proper dark horse at Ruijun High. Enter Chen Lu Zhou (played by Wang Anyu) — top scorer, full-on poetic vibes, and looking like he stepped out of a coming-of-age novel.
Their meet-cute? A misunderstanding, obviously. The kind that gets tangled in assumptions, casual insults, and that slow-burn bickering we all secretly live for. She’s bold and cheeky. He’s soft-spoken but deep. The chemistry? Off the charts.

Then BAM — reality hits. Chen gets shipped abroad by his fam, while Xu Zhi heads to Beijing for uni. The classic “almost, but not quite” timing. But don’t worry — fate ain’t done with them just yet.
🎓 Second Half? Reunion and Redemption
In a twist straight out of our fave fanfics, Chen Lu Zhou returns to China and (plot twist!) ends up at the same university as Xu Zhi. Now roles reverse: he’s the one doing the chasing, and this time, he’s not holding back.
The vibes are clear: healing, rekindling, protecting each other through young adult life. Expect study dates, rain-soaked confessions, and probably a fair bit of emotional chaos.
