Chilling! 《Who Is He》 Drama Reveals Notorious Nationwide Rape-Murder Case

Following the success of "The Knockout," actor Zhang Yi delivers another masterclass performance in the crime thriller "Who Is He," cementing his status as one of China's finest actors.

Long-anticipated before its premiere, the series scored 6.6 on Douban and immediately dominated Weibo热搜 (trending topics).

Set in 1988 Ningjiang City, the story begins with two consecutive rain-night throat-slashing rape-murder cases. Young detective Wei Guoping (played by Zhang Yi) launches the investigation.

The first 4 episodes incorporate five real criminal cases involving 9 victims. The elusive suspect escapes Wei Guoping's pursuit and leaves no further clues, creating an investigative dead end...

With each sunrise comes another completed murder. Despite relentless efforts, the truth remains frustratingly out of reach.

One uncatchable killer, over a dozen families' lifelong nightmares - enough to cast shadows over an entire generation.

Eight years later, during another thunderous rainy night, a new case emerges - this time, an even more gruesome dismemberment murder.

Now a seasoned detective, Wei Guoping discovers striking similarities between this case and the unsolved 1988 murders. With the past forever haunting him, can he finally uncover the truth?

"Who Is He" draws inspiration from China's most notorious unsolved cases: the "1.19 Dismemberment Case," the "Baiyin Serial Murders," and Hong Kong's "Rainy Night Butcher Case." These real unsolved crimes spawned urban legends like "Don't wear red outside" and "There's a killer targeting young women," creating widespread panic.

The most famous prototype, the Gao Chengyong case (Baiyin Serial Murders), remained one of China's most notorious cold cases for 28 years since 1988, with 9 female victims before the killer's eventual capture.

"Who Is He" delivers flawless deduction sequences, ingenious plot structure, and rich cinematography that creates irresistible suspense.
