Speed and Love

After her parents split, Jiang Mu tries to repair the life around her and reconnect with her adopted brother, Jin Zhao, who has become a hardened figure wrapped up in risky schemes in Thailand. Their closeness has frayed into distance and mistrust, but Jiang Mu keeps reaching out with steady care. The series traces how small acts and conversations reopen what’s been closed, as the siblings deal with criminal pressures, old resentments, and practical barriers of cross-border life. Romance and ambition complicate their attempts to build a safer future, and the story favors emotional truth and gradual change over sudden shocks.

Speed and Love premiered in 2025, directed by Ma Ming and Xu Ling Ling, created by Yu Chung-chung, Zhao Xiaolei and Shi Jiuyuan. Yu Shuxin and He Yu lead, with key scenes filmed in Thailand.

As of early 2026 Speed and Love has not collected major industry awards. It did draw attention for performance and character work in reviews and on social platforms, and commentators singled out the leads' chemistry, but big festival or Emmy level recognition had not been reported.

Audience response has been modestly positive, reflected in a 7.1/10 average from a small sample. Critics noted its focus on family bonds, the moral gray areas around crime, and how love can alter priorities. The series favors character detail and slow transformations over plot spectacle, and many praised its restraint.

While not a mainstream phenomenon, Speed and Love has fostered a vocal niche audience. Fans discuss the leads' chemistry, the depiction of adoption and cross-border life, and the show's quieter scenes. It has also prompted conversation about portraying young people who live amid crime without glamorizing violence, and fan edits circulate online.
