| How and Where to Watch “The One” Chinese Drama – Premiere Date, Cast, and Streaming Guide |
Fans of Chinese fantasy dramas are buzzing again – and for good reason. The long-awaited wuxia series “The One” (唯一) starring Leo Wu Lei has finally dropped new details, and it’s shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest C-drama releases.
Directed by Go Yik Chun, this 24-episode series dives into a world of martial heroes, mythical realms, and fate-defying journeys.
It’s not just another sword-swinging fantasy — early teasers hint at a fresh mix of action, heartfelt storytelling, and striking cinematography that fans are already calling “a visual feast.”
What’s “The One” About?
“The One” follows Chen Ping’an, a humble young man from a back-alley world who refuses to be a caged bird. With only his sword and sheer determination, he fights through chaos and fate itself, cutting through thorns to forge his own destiny.
Behind the poetic premise lies an epic setup: the heavenly order is collapsing, dark forces loom, and Ping’an must stand against gods, monsters, and destiny.
Expect grand martial arts choreography, emotional weight, and that signature wuxia flair fans love.

So far, Wu Lei and Zhang Zhen are the only officially confirmed names, though rumours on Weibo hint that Vanda Magraf and Tian Xiwei might also join the line-up.
At the Tencent Video Vision Conference held on October 27, only Wu Lei and the production team appeared on stage — adding a layer of mystery around the rest of the cast.
The show’s Weibo account teased the concept beautifully:
“A young man from a humble alley, refusing to be a caged bird, wields his sword to change his fate. Fearless and pure, he cuts through thorns step by step, paving his own path to success.”
When Will “The One” Be Released?
While the exact premiere date hasn’t been revealed yet, the drama is confirmed to stream exclusively on WeTV and Tencent Video.
According to early listings on Douban, the first part — titled The Caged — will serve as Season 1 with 24 episodes in total.
The filming ceremony officially kicks off on November 10, which means the series will likely premiere sometime in mid to late 2026, if everything runs smoothly.
