Li Yun Rui — Overview

About Rebirth — Why Everyone Is Talking

Adapted from the novel The Legend of Chu Qiao: Division 11’s Princess Agent by Xiao Xiang Dong Er, Rebirth continues the story left unfinished in the 2017 hit Princess Agents, revisiting the unforgettable frozen lake cliffhanger that had audiences waiting years for answers. Li Yun Rui plays Zhuge Yue — a role that has firmly announced his arrival as a leading man. Now, onto what to watch next.

1. Blossom 🏯

Blossom follows Dou Zhao, a woman who gets a rare second chance at life after a painful first one marked by betrayal, loss, and an unhappy marriage. When she wakes up as her younger self, she decides she will not repeat the same mistakes. Li Yun Rui plays Song Mo, a brilliant general who has also been scarred by betrayal. What starts as a marriage of convenience develops into a bond rooted in trust, mutual respect, and quiet devotion — the kind of slow-burn that makes your heart ache in the best way. If you loved the steady, emotionally layered dynamic of Rebirth, this one’s a must.

2. Yummy, Yummy? Yummy! 🍜

This one is pure comfort television with a clever twist. The Shen family unexpectedly find themselves transported from the modern world to the ancient city of Yong’an. At the center is Shen Shao Guang, whose resourcefulness and gift for cooking help the family carve out a place for themselves — opening a humble restaurant where food becomes not just their livelihood, but a bridge to the people around them. Li Yun Rui plays Lin Yan, a quietly charming Deputy Magistrate whose first encounters with the family are shaped by confusion and suspicion — but over time that uncertainty softens into trust, friendship, and gentle romance. Think slow-burn romance wrapped in gorgeous food scenes and political stakes.

3. Reopen My Journals 📓

Set in late-1990s Shanghai, this coming-of-age drama unfolds with warmth and quiet nostalgia, following Qian Jia Yue, an intelligent teenager who earns a place at a prestigious high school, only to find herself facing pressures far beyond academics — grappling with self-doubt, the ache of first love, and a layered relationship with her mother. Li Yun Rui plays Xiao Han, her talented neighbour, whose connection with her slowly deepens through everyday moments and feelings left unsaid. Beautifully grounded and deeply human — this one will stay with you long after the final episode. soompisoompi

In the present timeline, their reunion through a dating reality show built around former lovers forces both of them to revisit old wounds, buried feelings, and the truth behind why they drifted apart. If second-chance romance is your weakness, this drama was made for you. soompisoompi
