1. Go Ahead — The One That Will Make You Cry
Go Ahead is a slice-of-life coming-of-age drama about three unrelated friends-turned-siblings — Ling Xiao (Song Wei Long), He Zi Qiu, and Li Jian Jian — raised by two devoted fathers as they navigate childhood, teen years, and the complexities of adulthood.
Ling Xiao carries the weight of a difficult childhood — his mother blamed him for a family tragedy, and witnessing his parents’ volatile divorce forces him to grow up fast. Song Wei Long expresses the anguish of a character grappling with abandonment and emotional manipulation purely through his eyes. It’s restrained, raw, and genuinely moving. Bring tissues.
2. Shine on Me — The One With the Ultimate Green Flag Male Lead
Song Wei Long plays Lin Yu Sen, a bright neurosurgeon whose career derails after an accident, forcing him into his family business. There, he meets Nie Xi Guang — a wealthy girl determined to make it on her own — and the two start on the wrong foot before friendship slowly becomes love.
Yu Sen is a green flag in every sense — a man who unconditionally supports the woman he loves, cheers her wins, and has no qualms stepping into the background as she surges ahead professionally. The chemistry between the leads adds genuine spark to this feel-good love story. Perfect for a cosy binge.
3. Everlasting Longing — The One That Shows His Warrior Side
In this period drama, Song Wei Long plays Xuan Lie — the wolf lord — an invincible general with a towering presence who investigates his parents’ murder. He crosses paths with Jun Qi Luo (Angelababy), a mysterious woman disguised as a man, whose family’s weapon was linked to the killing.
Their relationship, initially built on mistrust, evolves into something far deeper. Song Wei Long as the shrewd yet progressive Xuan Lie is admirable — a liberal man who feels strongly for people, and the costumes and stunts make this one visually stunning too. soompi

4. Youthful Glory — The One With Political Intrigue and Slow-Burn Romance
Song Wei Long plays Prince Jiang Xu, who returns after years of border duty to investigate deep financial corruption in the Dingbei army. To get closer to the truth, he enters an arranged marriage with Ming Tan (Bao Shang En) — only for his investigations to bring devastating consequences to her family.
As Jiang Xu scrambles to clear the Ming family’s name and win back the wife he has genuinely fallen for, the playful contrast between a practical male lead and an assertive female lead makes for a refreshing and entertaining watch. The chemistry is on point.
5. The Bionic Life — The One That Breaks the Mould Completely
Set in 2035, The Bionic Life drops Song Wei Long into a dystopian world where humanoid robots coexist with humans — until a string of android murders shakes society. As investigator Cheng Nuo, his composed exterior and sharp instincts pair with his partner’s empathy to form a formidable team. soompi
This is Song Wei Long at his most restrained and darkest — stepping far away from his romantic hero image. The drama blends mystery, noir, and emotional conflict to ask genuinely unsettling questions about what separates humans from artificial beings. Ambitious, cinematic, and unlike anything else he’s done. soompi
