Synopsis
A ruthless serial killer leaves a single false clue and forces a once-promising detective back into the field.
What makes Burning Ice worth watching
Tight, twelve-episode C-thriller.
Burning Ice represents a strong example of china crime from the 2017 production cycle. Chinese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Crime and Mystery elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Qin Hao, Deng Jiajia, Liu Yijun. It originally aired on iQIYI, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
