Dear readers, how are you today? I hope all of you were surrounded by kindness. And to brighten up your day with some good news that there were great Chinese dramas released in this November 2025.
I just found out that November 13, 2025, is the World Kindness Day. I’ve never heard about this special day before. But I think this is a very good idea to celebrate kindness. We often talk about being kind to others.
But let’s be real, sometimes life gets too busy that we forget to do it. Therefore, we all need to remember that kindness doesn’t have to be grand. It could be a smile to a stranger, a little compliment to others, a thank you, or maybe checking on someone you care about.
Those small things can make someone’s day a little brighter. And this is exactly what I hope to do here, with this list of Chinese dramas in November 2025 article. Happy reading.

For them who loves Chinese mystery dramas, this Dead End is for you, and it released in this November 2025. We’ve watched several episodes and really enjoyed the story.
The pace was a bit slow in the beginning, but give it a little patience. As the story unfolded, you’ll find yourself captivated.
Don’t expect fancy gadgets or high tech technologies here. This is not that kind of show. You’ll see detectives in old uniforms carrying small notebooks and riding around in bicycles. The classic kind of mystery that feels refreshing amidst modern day police dramas.
Two policemen from different generations worked together to chase a killer who hid in the narrow alleys of Nancheng. This case started when a girl was found dead in a well. The report said it was a suicide. But the scene proved otherwise.
This is an intentional murder. Fear spread through the neighbourhood, and people started whispering about the “Alley Killer”. Every day, the rumour gets darker. Some people said that this murder was a part of a conspiracy by a developer company to force people out of their homes.
In 1994, the technologies were still lacking. No surveillance camera, no DNA test, and no digital record to rely on. The two policemen only had their instinct and their legs to solve the case. They knocked on the doors of many houses on the alleys and questioned the frightened residents.
Although the case seemed impossible to crack, Ran Xi and Zhao Gan’e refused to give up. But as the bodies count rose and the pressure mounted, they found themselves trapped in their own doubt and regrets. Still, they believed that the killer was still there and the justice, however slow, was worth chasing.
