'Love's Ambition', one of the most talked-about Chinese dramas of 2025, has captivated audiences with its blend of romance, tension, and ambition. Starring Zhao Lusi and William Chan, the show follows Xu Yan, a smart, beautiful, and ambitious TV host, and Shen Haoming, an urban elite who thrives on control.
On the surface, Xu Yan and Shen Haoming appear to be the perfect couple, but as their different worlds collide, cracks begin to show. Zhao Lusi's performance as Xu Yan is a standout, as she brings emotional depth and elegance to the role, moving away from her usual cheerful characters. Her stylish looks have also gone viral across social media.
While William Chan's portrayal of Shen Haoming is steady, the chemistry between the two leads could have been more fiery, given the twists and turns in the plot. However, the show's strength lies in its exploration of bigger ideas, such as ambition, class differences, and emotional independence, which make it more relatable and engaging.
Despite some occasional writing missteps, 'Love's Ambition' manages to hold the audience's attention, thanks to its stunning visuals and the captivating performance of Zhao Lusi. The drama will be available for Indian audiences on Viki and later on Netflix as well.
