Available now on Rakuten Viki — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Melody of Golden Age earns its spot. The plotting gives Melody of Golden Age its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. It tells the story of a pair of mortal enemies who accidentally became a couple but fell in love with each other in a series of bizarre cases and finally chose to fight side by side. The writing gets a boost from Ding Yuxi and Deng Enxi, who sell every scene they're in. It was aired in 2024. What makes Melody of Golden Age hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It sustains a level of quality that very few manage to hold onto all the way through.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Melody of Golden Age delivers. Fans of Tell Me Lies will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Ding Yuxi anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
