The new Chinese drama "Si Jin" has hit WeTV like a storm, and boy, is it stirring up some drama off-screen too!
Starring Zhang Wanyi and Jing Tian, this one started off with mixed feelings from fans but ended up winning over audiences with its fast-paced storytelling and steamy romance.
Before the show even aired, Zhang Wanyi’s fans weren’t too thrilled about his role.
Since the drama is based on "The Brocaded Tale of the Girl Si," they figured the focus would be all about Jing Tian’s character, Jiang Si, leaving Zhang Wanyi stuck in the background.
Some even thought he wouldn’t get much screen time. But oh, how things changed!
The sixth episode dropped a bombshell—a sizzling kiss scene between Yu Jin (Zhang Wanyi) and Jiang Si (Jing Tian).
That moment alone had netizens losing their minds, with comments flooding social media:
- “Wait, what? Episode 6 and they’re already kissing?!”
- “This is moving TOO fast, but I love it.”
- “Their chemistry is insane!”
Turns out, fans love a fast-burn romance.
Not to mention, the drama itself keeps you on your toes.
Jiang Si literally gets killed by Yu Jin in her first life, only for him to turn around, slay all her enemies, and sacrifice himself so she can be reborn.
Talk about devotion!
With a second chance at life, Jiang Si goes full boss mode.
She breaks off her engagement, puts her scheming aunt in her place, opens a perfume shop, and even takes on a murder mystery.
Meanwhile, Yu Jin shows up again, and well… their fates are obviously tangled up.
A standout moment?
That romantic river scene where they reminisce about their past life, and Yu Jin rides in like a knight in shining armour.
Fans can’t get enough of these two, calling them "the perfect tragic couple."
Despite the rocky start with Zhang Wanyi’s fanbase, "Si Jin" skyrocketed to the top of China’s drama rankings almost instantly. Safe to say, this show isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving!
