Rakuten Viki, the global streaming destination for Asian entertainment, continues to expand its premium Chinese drama offering through its partnership with MangoTV, one of China’s leading platforms. As part of this collaboration, the highly anticipated romance series Love for You is now available on Viki, blending themes of first love and family bonds with an underlying crime mystery.
Even before its premiere, Love for You has generated significant anticipation across online fan communities, driven by its adaptation of the popular novel Wild Dog Bones and the first-ever on-screen pairing of Song Weilong, known for hit dramas Shine on Me and Go Ahead, with Zhang Jingyi, whose acclaimed performances in Lighter & Princess and Blossoms in Adversity have established her as one of China’s brightest young stars. Song Weilong recently received the People’s Choice Award at the Global OTT Awards in Busan for his performance in Shine on Me, further cementing his status as one of China’s most sought-after leading actors.
The drama also reunites acclaimed creatives known for crafting emotionally resonant romance series, while its nostalgic 1990s backdrop, literary origins and cinematic storytelling reflect the growing evolution of modern Chinese dramas beyond conventional romance.
