If tragic love stories set against a backdrop of old-world glamour are your thing, the newly premiered C-drama “Overdo” just landed on Viki — and it’s already shaping up to be a slow-burn favorite.

### Overdo: A Love Story Built On Loss And Return

Set in Republican-era Shanghai, “Overdo” follows Murong Qing Yi (Zhang Ling He), the youngest son of a powerful warlord carrying deep scars from a traumatic childhood. His life changes when the courageous Ren Su Su (Wang Chu Ran) saves him during a harrowing escape — but tragedy soon tears them apart, forcing Su Su to fake her own death to protect the people she loves.

| --- | --- | --- |

| Ren Su Su / Fang Mu Lan | Wang Chu Ran | Faked her death, returns under a new identity |

### The Twist That Changes Everything

Three years later, Su Su resurfaces — this time as Fang Mu Lan, Qing Yi’s prospective sister-in-law. With a national crisis looming, the two are forced to work together, unraveling old secrets while navigating their complicated, disguised reunion. It’s the kind of premise that blends period drama grandeur with a genuinely emotional love story.
