Time-loop mystery Sisyphus stars Wang Qianyuan as a police officer who is sent back to the past every time he gets shot by the man (Lu Han) responsible for his family’s murders. The 12 episode Lights On miniseries will be English-subbed on the iQiyi app.
The trailer for Sisyphus looks great, and I’m loving the show’s tag line: “The past is the future, and the future is the present.” Starring Wang Qianyuan, Lu Han, Qi Xi, Qiao Xin, Wu Yue and Zhang Haoran, the second drama in iQiyi’s Lights On series will probably be released after Kidnapping Game ends on the 17th. [Extended Synopsis]
iQiyi has lined up an impressive list of 12 episode miniseries that will air over the next three months – which ones are you looking forward to most?
On a related note, I‘ve given up on compiling a list of air dates for upcoming dramas because there is always so much uncertainty surrounding drama premieres.
Instead, feel free to bookmark our Watch Dramas Online page, which is constantly updated with premiere details for all the latest Chinese dramas (even the ones we don’t post about).
