Also known as ‘Sleepless Days’, ‘Give Me Five’. It is a Chinese Sci-fi time travel whodunit series. Screenplay by Bi Qiang, Jiang Wuji. Directed by Liu Zhangmu. Starring Bai Jingting, Janice Man, Song Yang, Liu Yijun.
Based on ‘Ni Shi Zhen Cha Zu’ by Zhang Xiaomao.
Released on 17 September 2025.
It became the most anticipated release on iQIYI. It generated positive reactions for its intense action sequences, mysterious tone & high production value.
Certain scenes were shot in Hong Kong & Macau, which required Bai Jingting to learn Cantonese for his role. The team incorporated Hong Kong style action & fight sequences into the series.
The bank robbery in the first episode, he studies the scenario five times & knows he can make changes. He tries to prepare his team & avoid it with the least human loss . Resetting is a bit repetitive but flawlessly done.
In ‘The First Frost’ as Sang Yan , Bai Jingting has a romantic role. Suddenly into a dapper detective was a transition that took me by surprise. The genre changes but his sincereity shines through. He is good.
Since 2021, every drama he led has marked as a major hit, so this should be the same. Averaging over 50 million views per episode, this remains to be seen . The drama has potential, it will surpass the old record.
A good drama.
