Upcoming Chinese Dramas Starring Xu Kai

Xu Kai has become a favorite among fans of Chinese dramas thanks to his compelling portrayals of characters, no matter the genre. Since his acting debut in 2016, Xu Kai’s popularity has only risen. Even though it’s only halfway through 2024, Xu has already been a part of several hit series, including “As Beautiful As You,” “Best Choice Ever,” and “Sword and Fairy.” Additionally, he is confirmed to appear in more upcoming series, which fans eagerly await.

One of the highly anticipated dramas featuring Xu Kai is “Moonlit Reunion.” This upcoming Tencent Video drama is an adaptation of Fu Hua’s web novel “Mei Fu Ren Chong Fu Ri Chang.” “Moonlit Reunion” tells the intriguing story of Wu Zhen, played by Tian Xiwei, who comes from a noble background. Raised with love and freedom, Wu Zhen carries a gender-neutral mindset and often dresses up as a man to visit brothels, earning her a reputation as a dandy in Chang’an City.

Wu Zhen possesses a unique ability to see spirits. As a child, she was saved by her former cat master after falling from a tall building. As a result, she inherited his supernatural powers, becoming the new cat master responsible for overseeing Chang’an Demon City. Alongside her, Mei Zhu Yu (played by Xu Kai), the nephew of a noble concubine, can also see spirits. Trained at a Taoist temple from a young age, Mei Zhu Yu is known as the best Taoism practitioner. Despite concealing his supernatural abilities and leading a seemingly normal life, his path crosses with Wu Zhen, setting the stage for an engaging narrative.

Another promising series featuring Xu Kai is “Fire Investigator.” The drama delves into the unusual partnership between a fire investigator, Yu Tong (portrayed by Xu Kai), and a detective, Lin Yao Tao (played by Liu Yi Tie). The two characters meet at a university campus, teaming up to investigate a string of peculiar fire incidents. But as the investigation deepens, Yu Tong’s past resurfaces, straining their bond and forcing both characters to confront their inner demons while working to uncover the truth behind the incidents.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how these stories unfold and to witness Xu Kai’s performances in these upcoming dramas.
