First of all, the main cast is absolutely incredible. Every single actor is doing an amazing job, without exception, and they’re all stunning. The plot is so strong that I haven’t skipped a single scene or episode. I watch everything from beginning to end, and then I’m desperately waiting for the next episode!
And now that they changed the intro… it is absolutely FANTASTIC. The new live-action opening fits the drama perfectly and makes the atmosphere even more immersive.
From episodes 8, 9, 10, and 11 onward, the scenes become absolutely incredible. The costumes are gorgeous, but Wang Churan’s outfits are on another level. I’m genuinely blown away.
Every time Wang Churan and Zhang Linghe appear together on screen, I literally cannot take my eyes off them. Their chemistry is magnetic, and it makes me fall even more in love with this couple. They are one of those pairs where you never want their scenes to end.
I also love the entire orphanage storyline and the children so much. Those scenes touched me deeply. The fact that all the girls are so united, supporting each other and fighting together for justice, truly moved me.
The moment with Fang Mulan completely broke me… 😭💔 I was crying when she sacrificed herself for Ren Su Su. That was the moment I realized how powerful the soul of this story really is. It’s not just a romantic drama; it has pain, sacrifice, sisterhood, and human emotions that make you feel everything.
And that mother… I’m sorry, but she makes me furious! She is so cold-hearted, so toxic, and so controlling that I honestly can’t stand watching her. That only proves how amazing the actress is, because she manages to make us feel such intense emotions.
Also, how are the villains so attractive? 😭🔥 The guy from the Huo family is unbelievably handsome!
Overall, the entire drama — the plot, the characters, the tension, the aesthetics, the costumes, the orphanage storyline, and the chemistry between the leads — is absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, for me, #Overdo is almost a perfect drama so far. It is so captivating that I can’t stop thinking about it.
BRAVO to everyone! 👏👏👏 Bravo to the actors, the director, the writers, and the entire production team. They proved that #Overdo is an incredibly powerful drama and truly deserves all the hype it is receiving right now. 🔥❤️😭
people suddenly so technical in appreciating dramas? We can only ask what is a viewers intention for posting their critiques so early. Is it to support the overall work or dissuade viewers from watching because of their own personal satisfaction of posting their "expert" opinions. Viewers have certainly evolved. I watch dramas with a positive mindset and I become forgiving of flaws because I'm all for the story and actors. Because of this, I enjoy the show despite the technical flaws. So I hope that viewers reflect first-- why are you watching, are you drama critics, or fans of the actors, are you watching for the story or worse because you know that posting your "expert opinion" will earn views and make you popular. If the latter, I hope these people know how they can destroy others' happiness and the actors' career. Not criticizing or being honest Abt it's flaws is not being meek and blind, it's just that it's best to reserve these things once the drama is over.
Honestly, I believe fans should stop treating MyDramaList as the ultimate authority on whether a drama is good or bad.
Overdo is currently dominating the Chinese market. It debuted at #1 on the Maoyan Heat Index, surpassed 50 million effective views within just a few hours, and is breaking popularity records on both iQIYI and Tencent Video. Zhang Linghe has even surpassed his own previous records from Pursuit of Jade. Internationally, the drama is already trending on iQIYI International, WeTV, and Rakuten Viki, while hashtags related to the series have gone viral on Weibo with millions of interactions.
What makes MDL seem unreliable is not only the negativity, but also the way its rating system can be manipulated. The platform allows users to rate episodes before they are even released, which means some people give the lowest possible score without having watched the episode at all. That is not an objective evaluation; it is a premeditated negative vote.
And one more thing: the fact that some people focus so heavily on the AI effects or the directing shows how much the drama’s massive success bothers them. Personally, those things do not bother me at all; on the contrary, I genuinely enjoy the aesthetics and atmosphere of the series. For me, compared to the power of the lead duo Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan, those details become secondary. Their chemistry, the tension between the characters, and the emotions they convey are what have won over millions of viewers.
So, if you are enjoying Overdo, do not let the MDL score ruin your experience. Real viewing data, audience engagement, and rankings on China’s major platforms provide a far more complete picture of the drama’s success than a rating system that can be influenced before episodes even air. No matter how much some people try to undermine the drama with premature low ratings and negative comments, Overdo’s trajectory shows that its success is driven by real audiences, not by the negativity of a small group of users.
I absolutely love the way he looks at her every single time — whether he’s jealous, whether he sees his brother touching her, when she annoys him, or when she pushes him to his absolute limits. That’s why it’s called Overdose, and that’s exactly why I love it: everything is excessive, intense, and taken to the extreme. Their chemistry is incredibly strong. They’re both so beautiful, so tall, and they match each other perfectly. Their visual presence alone has completely drawn me in. On top of that, the story is unbelievably interesting, especially the orphanage plot. It’s obvious that the old man abused Ren Su Su, the girls, and the children there, and I genuinely want him to pay for everything he did. I really want true justice for those kids. I’m completely hooked and wait every night for a new episode. Honestly, all the negative comments about the directing, camera work, CGI, or editing don’t even register for me. I don’t see them at all because I’m enjoying this drama so much. Overdose has me absolutely captivated, and I’m loving every second of this intense, over-the-top experience. 🔥🖤📺

Episodes 6 and 7 were, for me, among the strongest so far.
The orphanage storyline truly shook me. Through the flashbacks, we see what Ren Su Su and the other girls went through when they were children. They all carry deep trauma from the abuse they suffered, and that is the reason they are so closely bonded today and are fighting to bring justice for what happened.
What won me over the most is the way the series combines a dark past, mystery, and the desire for revenge with a very intense romantic element.
And here I have to talk about the lead couple… 🔥
Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan have incredible chemistry. The looks they exchange, the tension in their scenes, and their subtle expressions say more than the dialogue. Every scene they share keeps you glued to the screen.
I know many people have criticized the directing, the CGI, and the editing. Personally, though, those are not the things that stay with me in the end. The strong story, the emotional intensity, and the presence of the lead actors overshadow the production’s technical weaknesses for me.
So far, #Overdo has completely won me over, and I can’t wait to see how the story of Ren Su Su and Murong Qing Yi develops. 🖤✨
In no way shape or form is the hate directed towards Zhang Linghe or Wang Churan it's just the the terrible directing…
I understand what you're saying, but I consider the story and the stage presences to be much more important than the visual effects. Personally, I was excited by the story with the orphanage.
Thank you very much lovely heaters 😘🔥🫦 #Overdo is off to a phenomenal start—and #ZhangLinghe has just reached a new career milestone! 🎉
The highly anticipated Republican-era drama, co-starring #WangChuran, has reportedly delivered Zhang Linghe's strongest C-drama premiere to date, surpassing the early launch performance of his previous hit, #PursuitOfJade.
Within hours of its debut, Overdo generated impressive momentum across multiple platforms, reportedly: ✨ Surpassing 200,000 reservations 📈 Climbing to No. 1 on the Maoyan TV Drama Popularity Chart in less than half a day 🔥 Reaching over 7,500 on iQIYI's popularity index 💥 Exceeding 24,000 on Tencent Video's heat index (as of this writing)
The drama has also benefited from strong early word of mouth, enthusiastic fan support, celebrity promotions, and multiple brand collaborations, helping it become one of the year's most talked-about premieres.
For Zhang Linghe, Overdo marks another major step forward, continuing the momentum he built with The Best Thing and Pursuit of Jade. Meanwhile, his fresh on-screen pairing with Wang Churan is already drawing plenty of attention from viewers.
Have you started watching Overdo yet? What's your first impression? 👀❤️

“That mother is completely insane. She wears her dead husband’s finger around her neck like some kind of witch. She treats her own son horribly, even though he is actually her real son. The whole thing honestly disgusts me. I hate this mother so much — every time she appears on screen she makes my blood boil.”
What do you love so much about this drama? The plot? The acting skills? The dialogues? The cinematography? Because…
Everything has sexy protagonists and supporting couples that I like and it will have a happy ending, what more could anyone ask for, it will be my comfort drama, I will watch it all the time
