Overdo (这一秒过火) is quickly proving it is far more than another romance drama on the streaming calendar. The latest Chinese hit starring Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan has become one of iQIYI International's biggest talking points thanks to its emotionally charged storytelling, unforgettable dialogue and chemistry that has viewers repeatedly pressing the replay button. Now, the platform has revealed the three scenes fans have watched the most, while the leading stars have also opened up about the moments that captured their own hearts—and, surprisingly, neither picked the drama's biggest viral scene.
Following the success of Pursuit of Jade, Zhang Linghe returned with another emotionally demanding role as Murong Qingyi, a man who has spent years believing the woman he loves is gone forever.
Fate then delivers a cruel twist when Ren Susu, played by Wang Churan, unexpectedly reappears alive—only to return as his elder brother's fiancée. From that moment, love, loyalty and revenge become hopelessly entangled, turning every reunion into another emotional battlefield.
The series has also produced one of this year's most memorable lines. Murong Qingyi's heartbreaking confession, "She's alive, and I've gone crazy," spread rapidly across social media, with many viewers saying it perfectly summed up the character's years of grief, hope and emotional collapse. It is dramatic, admittedly over the top, but then again the drama is literally called Overdo, so subtlety was probably never invited to the party.

According to iQIYI International, the scene viewers have replayed more than any other comes from episode five, when Ren Susu fiercely steps in to defend Murong Qingyi after his own fiancée humiliates him.
Rather than remaining silent, she shields him without hesitation and firmly tells him, "I'm here. Don't be afraid."
What begins as an uncomfortable confrontation transforms into a touching declaration of loyalty, reminding audiences that actions often carry far more weight than romantic speeches.

The second most rewatched moment arrives in episode six and delivers another emotional misunderstanding.
Ren Susu kneels before Murong Qingyi, begging him to ensure an aircraft reaches the aviation academy on time so their carefully planned revenge can continue.

Unfortunately, Murong Qingyi assumes she is lowering herself for the sake of his older brother, Murong Qingyu, rather than for their shared mission.
His jealousy quietly takes over, creating another painful misunderstanding that leaves viewers wanting to shake both characters and simply ask them to have one honest conversation.
Third on the replay rankings is the unforgettable kiss in episode three. After finally discovering that Fang Mulan is actually Ren Susu, Murong Qingyi is overwhelmed by years of buried emotions.
Unable to suppress his heartbreak any longer, he pulls her close and kisses her in one of the series' most emotionally explosive moments. Their height difference, lingering eye contact and emotionally charged performances instantly became a talking point online.
The kiss holds anger, yearn, love, and hate from 3 year ago to 3 years later.

The dialogue from that sequence only fuelled the excitement. Murong Qingyi confesses, "I've missed you so much I wanted to tear you apart," before another unforgettable line follows: "So this is what it feels like to kiss you for the first time."
The dramatic delivery quickly turned both quotes into fan favourites across social media, proving once again that romance dramas have a remarkable talent for making viewers blush while simultaneously questioning every life decision that brought the characters to this point.
Interestingly, Zhang Linghe revealed that none of those hugely popular scenes is actually his personal favourite. Instead, he chose the quieter period before Murong Qingyi and Ren Susu ever meet face to face.
Reflecting on those early episodes, the actor explained that the exchange of letters represented the purest version of their relationship.
"They hadn't met yet, but they gradually understood each other through every letter," he shared. "Those letters allowed them to fall in love before they ever stood in front of one another. I think that emotional connection is incredibly beautiful."

He also praised the production team's creative decision to visualise the characters communicating through an imagined shared space, saying it allowed audiences to experience emotions that words alone could not fully express.
Looking back at their first on-screen reunion, both stars admitted filming the sequence felt unexpectedly familiar. Zhang Linghe laughed, "It really felt like meeting an online friend for the first time." Wang Churan agreed with a smile, adding, "You already know so much about that person, but at the same time everything still feels completely new."
Their playful comparison perfectly reflected the mixture of comfort, curiosity and awkwardness that defines the relationship at that stage of the story.
While audiences continue discussing the kiss and emotional confrontations, Wang Churan revealed she actually prefers one of the drama's gentlest moments. Her favourite scene features Murong Qingyi carefully treating Ren Susu's injury before she jokingly asks him to tie the bandage into a butterfly bow.
"That scene felt especially warm," she explained. "For a brief moment, they weren't trapped by revenge or misunderstandings. They were simply taking care of each other." It offered a rare chance for both characters to lower their emotional walls before chaos inevitably returned.
Behind the cameras, the cast also created moments that delighted fans. Recently released behind-the-scenes footage showing Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan trying on wedding outfits quickly attracted attention online.

Wang Churan looked elegant in a vintage bridal gown, while Zhang Linghe appeared every bit the classic Republican-era leading man in a tailored suit. Together, they looked as though they had stepped straight out of an old romance novel rather than a television studio.
One particular behind-the-scenes clip became especially popular after Murong Qingyi's romantic waist-measuring scene. On screen, the sequence radiates confidence and intimacy.
Off screen, however, Zhang Linghe hilariously struggled with the measuring tape, fumbling his way through multiple attempts while the cast laughed around him. It was a refreshing reminder that the calm and collected prosecutor disappears the second the director calls cut.
The drama's growing popularity has even spread beyond its audience. Actress Michelle Chen recently revealed that she has been following Overdo, describing the series as "absolutely crazy and completely addictive."
She added that she had already caught up with the newest episodes. Her post soon caught the attention of Fu Xinbo, who portrays Murong Qingyu, prompting him to jokingly reply, "Verified. This recommendation is 100% effective." Fans quickly embraced the exchange, with many saying celebrity endorsements only confirmed what viewers had already known for weeks.

Plenty have confessed they replay the romantic moments far more often than the confrontations, while another group admits they are simply waiting for the characters to stop misunderstanding each other every five minutes. Easier said than done, of course—without those misunderstandings, half the plot would probably need an early retirement.
With its blend of heartbreaking romance, family conflict, revenge and beautifully crafted emotional storytelling, Overdo continues to strengthen its place as one of this year's standout Chinese romance dramas on iQIYI International.
