Wu Xin: The Monster Killer

Wu Xin: The Monster Killer follows an ageless man who wakes each era with no memory of where he began or why he survives. Living on the margins, he scrapes by until a kind stranger, Yue Ya, shares her last meal with him. To repay her and keep food on the table, he uses an unusual talent for hunting supernatural beings that prey on ordinary people, taking paid jobs to track and eliminate them. As they work together, their survival partnership deepens into a complicated bond while Wu Xin tries to piece together fragments of his past and define what kind of man he wants to be.

Released in 2015, the series was directed by Wai Hongchui and created by 蔡藝儂. The cast includes Elvis Han as Wu Xin, Chen Yao, Jin Chen, Wang Yanlin, and Mike Angelo, and the show blends mystery with fantasy and melodrama.

Audience feedback leans positive, with a vote average of 8.25 out of 10 from a small sample of viewers. The show keeps its focus on themes of memory, immortality, moral cost and companionship, using monster-of-the-week plots to raise questions about identity and what it means to care for someone across long, uncertain lives.

Among genre fans the series found a devoted following, appreciated for its moody atmosphere, stylized creature designs and the chemistry between leads. Online communities have discussed its gothic visuals, episodic horror set pieces, and the way intimate character moments offset supernatural violence.

There are no widely reported major international awards attached to the series; its reputation rests more on fan appreciation and steady word of mouth than on prize recognition. It remains a noted entry for viewers interested in Chinese fantasy TV that mixes romance, mystery and horror elements.
